Who wants to get me this for raisins?

I've managed to avoid spoilers, my copy is pre-ordered, and I've finished my first run of DS.

Let's do this, GAF.

Pure Gold

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I just pre-ordered it, I'm excited even if I don't think I'll be able to play it for a while.

 

[Intheflorsh]

I've been ready for this for too long. Some brand new Dark Souls sounds really good right about now.

 

[Sober]

I think is all I will need until the Winter Sale comes around.

 

[Vazra]

The OT has been fixed to work on mobile properly.

 

[Grinchy]

This better become the place to go to for DS2 60fps webms

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well better late than never. Can't believe I've manage to not catch a single spoiler. Fingers crossed that doesn't fuck up now in the next week. Still going to tippy toe around any and all info.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Wow that OT is right on the money lol

[golem]

Its been a long wait.

You gonna die many times

[Dr Dogg]

Hahaha oh no Nito, I'm not clicking that. I'm not even going to quote you.

I'd be mortified if I found out your main character dies

[Rhaknar]

im ridiculously hyped for this, probably more than i should, but I cant help it

it doesnt help that DS1 was my favorite game from the last generation

 

[Sajjaja]

THE CHANNELER'S HOOD HAS EYES?

 

[Mcvro]

I'm so glad the game runs glorious on my PC, because it's at least six years old. No matter though, steady 60 fps and all settings on highest.

(Based on early review code btw)

 

[vocab]

So now that the console versions have been out for a bit, what was the verdict on the preorder dlc items?

Namco/From Software should pimp me out for the sexy OTs :,(

Better than expected IIRC.

 

[Robot Pants]

THE CHANNELER'S HOOD HAS EYES?

Seriously. Mind blown.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Read the item description, yo!

Spoiler

It needs so many eyes because Seath is blind. Get it?

 

[Rhaknar]

So now that the console versions have been out for a bit, what was the verdict on the preorder dlc items?

im actually wondering that myself. good enough for early play or not even that? or maybe even better, like dragon tail sword level from DS1 hopefully not)?

Spoiler tagging just in case.

Spoiler

They are powerful but cant use them straight away as the requirements are higher than the starting stats.

Well, only one class start with a shield so DLC shield give you a little advantage over people who didnt preordered it.

 

[Snapshot King]

Are the pre-order weapons supposed to be findable in game? I remember hearing that they were hidden in the game somewhere for non-preorders, but I never ended up finding them.

 

[elfinke]

Nice OT. Kind of excited, having played DaSo1 on PS3 at day one, and I was also an early importer of a non-Eng DeSo, this wait for the PC release has been hard work.

Still, after reading Durante's article this morning it seems the wait will be well worth it (I also finally got around to unlocking my 6950 to a 6970 last night, so all my newfound shaders are ready

Spoiler

just need some downsampling-able drivers to be released...

)!

 

[Dragon1893]

It's so close I can taste it. The taste of death.

 

[pitcairn55]

Man, I wasn't going to double dip, but Durante's article really has me tempted.

Great thread title by the way.

So now that the console versions have been out for a bit, what was the verdict on the preorder dlc items?

I'm a hundred hours in on PS3 and I still find myself using one of the shields on a regular basis.

 

[CountAntonius]

Guys I'm excited. This has been my most anticipated game of all time and the weeks since the console release have been the most excruciating. When I sit there and begin to create my bearded character it will finally sink in.

 

[Dragon1893]

So nuuvem is the best deal for the digital version right? Never ordered from them, I assume they're ok?

 

[Teknoman]

Count me in the camp thats managed to avoid spoilers all over the place/ at least the temptation.

That being said, now i'm really on a deadline to get that lordvessel powered up and beat DS1.

Never play late at night though...Seath just made me lose 30k souls via stupid mistakes.

Don't skip the DLC, it's the best content in the game.

 

[Blearth]

Preordered from GMG

I have absolutely zero clue what I'm getting myself into. I hope I like it.

 

[Backfoggen]

Give them short load times.

 

[Teknoman]

Whats the recommended point to stop and go through the DLC area?

 

[Nibel]

It's so close I can taste it. The taste of death.

It's the best taste out there

 

[so1337]

Debating whether I should try running this on my 2010 Macbook or wait till I get back home and play it on my 780Ti. Decisions.

 

[lucebuce12]

Seriously. Mind blown.

If I remember correctly the actual channeler's themselves don't have eyes ( the things underneath the clothing) but the eyes are their so Seath the Scaleless can use them as ways of gaining vision of the area. That's how Seath was able to know you were coming the first time you met him, cause he saw in the undead parish.

 

[mannerbot]

Whats the recommended point to stop and go through the DLC area?

You can do it whenever, just make sure you don't beat the last boss before doing the DLC because that immediately starts a NG+.

 

[O.DOGG]

Got the game preordered, played through DS1 twice over the past couple of weeks. I am prepared.

 

[Durante]

Give them short load times.

The load times are very short.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

I may actually buy this in a regular retail store, I love doing that from time to time. Will at least check for the CE I guess.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

Pre-order is ready. Body is ready. Praising is ready.

 

[Backfoggen]

The load times are very short.

Did they put in higher res HUD icons for the weapons and stuff?

 

[HeelPower]

will this unlock at midnight ?

First time pre-ordering anything on steam.

 

[Inskipp]

Prepare to be invaded people! Prepare to die.

Prepare to Soul Memory.

Very unlikely that you'll get invaded on your first playthrough. If you do, consider it a rare treat!

nobody knows

 

[Red Liquorice]

My PC handled DS1 about on par with my PS3, so I will be looking from afar at the PC master race with great jealousy this time. Enjoy the smooth and silky guys!

 

[John Caboose]

lol. fuckin kids and their larping.

Spoiler

Yes I did this sort of shit with "lightsabers" when I was <12 stfu

 

[eot]

Depends on where you live
For me it seems to say it'll unlock at 10 or 11am (GMT+1).
