Title is cute, I like it.

 

[copelandmaster]

Dedicated servers, hmmm?

Well, that sounds like good news.

New title wins

 

[Cocaloch]

I was really hoping that the OT would have been named the Dark Souls of Sequels.

 

[mickcenary]

This game is going to be the best thing to ever happen to me.

If Bamco developed and released a "Dark Souls 2 console" that could only play Dark Souls 2, cost $1,000 and required video evidence of me defecating into the disc drive of my PS4, I'd be camping out right this very minute.

 

[pretty done]

How many of you are double dipping? I will but PC version may have to wait till May unless my tax return gets here at a decent time.

Triple dipping when PS4 and PC come out

 

[antitrop]

I can patiently wait for the PC version. Hell, I waited for the first one, I can wait for this one.

 

[Dominic_Shade]

Excellent OT. Love the choice of font.

Pre-ordered the Future Press guide. Looking forward to see what From Software has in store for us.

 

[Gorillaz]

I probably will double dip if it hits next gen and possible triple if I build up a PC again. That's probably a ways off tho-

Getting 360 and ps3 on launch because of friends on both consoles

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I'll double dip during a Steam sale again, no doubt.

Me. PS3 version is recon to help me murder people more efficiently in the pretty looking version.

 

[Vazra]

Im getting both for the reason that I have Demon's and Dark on PS3 and the little OCD in me would kill me and no PC CE to US. PC I need sexy res and better performance.

Well... The hype is strong in you I'll give you that.

 

[Garcia]

Nice OT. Will be fun to be around when the game gets released.

 

[Deified Data]

Thinking of cancelling my Amazon CE preorder if an arrival date isn't announced soon. What are the odds of the CE shipping and actually arriving on release day? Astronomical?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Still waiting on that PC date.

 

[DaxMedFlax]

Nice OT! Hype rising.

Any reports on the frame rate? I played DS1 on the 360, and oh boy... blighttown and a couple of other places were nearly unplayable.

 

[Romars202129]

Crossing my fingers that Gamestop doesn't screw me on another preorder.
I want that case and soundtrack! I still regret not preordering Dark Souls 1...

 

[Vazra]

Nice OT! Hype rising.

Consoles 30fps
PC 60fps

On consoles apparently still has dips but no Blighttown levels of bad.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Mine!

 

[sixghost]

I know but they are working on it and TRYING to make a better port this time. Patience.

A Namco USA PR guy told giantbomb in an interview that internally they knew the PC release date, but weren't announcing it.

 

[Sanctuary]

I plan on it. Or at least I'm going to if the game doesn't disappoint. It shouldn't, but who knows.

 

[phierce]

Nice OT.

Bring on the PAIN!!

 

[Persona7]

I am pretty sure the CE and regular edition of the game has release date delivery.

Gonna try to nab a PS3 copy from one of the ~50 Redboxes within a 5 mile radius from my house for a few days. After that, PC only.

 

[SargerusBR]

Any word if NA PSN users will be able to preload?

 

[Skab]

My current plan is still to get this for PC. But, since there is no date yet, I'm thinking I'll redbox it for PS3 to scratch that itch once it's out on consoles.

 

[Poimandres]

Hehe great OT title.

I'll be there day one... on PC. So day whenever they decide to release it.

 

[Shinjica]

A Namco USA PR guy told giantbomb in an interview that internally they knew the PC release date, but weren't announcing it.

Wow, just wow.

 

[the chris]

Why can't it be next week already?

 

[Persona7]

I just noticed the title change, lol.

Why can't it be next week already?

wow, I glanced over at the TV when I read your post and the boner car scene from Me Myself and Irene was playing.

 

[Poimandres]

What was the old title?

 

[Sub_Level]

God damn tails...

 

[super-famicom]

Aww yiss. Motha. Fucking. Dark Souls 2 OT.

I'm sooo excited for this game. Kept a media blackout except for the info about classes and their starting stats. Have the stats been confirmed to be legit?

Unfortunately I'll be very busy this month so I might not be able to have much time to play right away.

 

[Joei]

Does anyone know what the new stat abilities are for? Specifically Vigor and Adaptability? Spoiler if you feel the need.

On a side note, I work the 11th and 12th and will be going nuts at work. I work 12 hour nightshifts and can't do much else but sleep and work those days. I'm going to be going nuts.

 

[fedexpeon]

Clever girl...Some of us will double dip for 1080/60 at a later point; but right now, that 1st day hype on console>>>>>1080/60 gameplay for me.

Vigor is your HP. Adapability, I'm a bit fuzzy on. I hear things like movement speed/shield raise speed but I don't know for sure.

I'd rather have them just move on at that point and make a new Souls game from the ground up for PS4bone.

 

[mugwhump]

So what's the meaning of the new stats?

 

[so1337]

Man, it's almost here. I need to prepare myself for jolly cooperation.

 

[Necromanti]

The first Souls game I won't be playing on release day. I blame Durante.

Kewl

Yup Vigor and Vitality are completely ass-backwards

 

[Soriku]

My purchase might be delayed if the $20 preorder for Atelier goes through, as I'll be playing that first. Well, hope to get it soon enough anyway...

 

[perorist]

Going to do 2 weeks of worth of work this week so I can pig out on DkS2 next week. Thank god for flexible hours.

I haven't bought a day 1 game since DkS. Does anyone know if 11th is the day the game will be available, or the day it gets shipped to retailers?

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Is there still a stat cut off with major diminishing returns?

Like unless you want the crazy weapons, stop at 40 in strength?

 

[takriel]

I grabbed one of your wonderful Dks II avatars for myself, hope you don't mind OP.

I don't think I can wait for March 14th. I will most likely download the game from the US PSN store on midnight of March 11th.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Nice OT!

 

[BigDug13]

I just got the Lordvessel on my first DS playthrough on PC. So it seems like I'll still be hard at work trying to conquer this game by the time the PC release is done for DS2.
