Yes. There's dual swords. Curved swords. And even ultra curved swords.
Not much. Usually 12-18
Hard time deciding between Knight and Warrior for starting class. The good thing about Knight is i won't have to put many extra points in dex and int just to try a bow or maybe a spell.
On the other hand those skills probably will be worthless and the lack of luck feels worrying should i have to farm embers..

I see you and I have the same plans. Just got a 6 pack of compressed air from Costco and it's been a good while.
Can't wait to have them one second load times thanks to SSD.
Seeing some things already nerfed... Yes they do, but they won't fix important shit...well till now.
This is my Soulsstory;
Imported Demons Souls before it was released in my country, it was like -08 -09?
Did not like at all, sold it a few days later, did not look back, did not bother with DS1 or 2, then one day i watched some streams on a game called Bloodborne... Rest is history as the say.
I took a chance and bought Bloodborne, at first i just got my ass kicked over and over again, but thanks to the games awsome Coop i managed to get in to the game! I have been playing games +30 year and Bloodborne is on My top 5 GOAT!
With all that said; My hype for tomorrow is insane!

Glad to hear you jump back in. I have heard of lots of folks not taken in from earlier games but eventually won over.
I would still highly recommend playing the others, especially DS1. It is a special game, particularly the DLC.
STR/DEX to try out all the weapons first character and because fuck magic

I am playing as the Knight. His starting armour and shield is pretty bad ass. Plus he looks awesome.
Aesthetics is the biggest difference.
Been playing for the last two days (although not as much as I wanted to) and I love it. The mood, the gameplay, the scenery ... all top notch.
The only thing I don't love right now is the linearity but I guess I will just have to accept it. :-/

Really? I found it a bit easier than other Souls games so far (3 bosses in) but maybe that's because I chose Pyromancer, which is a bit overpowered at the beginning as in previous Souls games.
I know rite?!
Well, still 14 hours to go until it unlocks, which is 1am here so I doubt I'll have any energy to play the game when it happens... But still!
I really love the art style in this. I am glad they have kept the gothic look from Bloodborne.
The winding stair wells and battles on rooftops right from the off has been a joy.
It also reminds me of Bloodborne in that it's VERY difficult at the beginning (well, after the tutorial.)
Game is slicker and faster paced than Dark Souls 2. The music is spectacular.
I have already died over 50 times. Welcome back to Dark Souls.

Yeah, what the fuck are they doing
Are there many missables in this game? I like to get everything in a playthrough but I'm not gonna look at any guides first time through.
Just wondering if there is a lot of stuff like Licatial (sp?) quests in this one or if it's more like DkS1 where nothing was really missable (which I heavily preferred).

Yes it is! I broke my media blackout for this thread.
Going in blind and contemplating going off-line. I want to do a solo boss kill first run anyway, but not sure about the messages and pvp. Could go either way.
Missable NPC quests and the items that go along with them.
Hm. Expected I suppose. I'll just have to play and explore extra carefully. Thanks.

Probably gonna start with the Warrior class. I think it looks the coolest, and it comes with that sweet sweet axe.

I like the drakeblood armor a lot from ds2

This is like edging but I just wanna cum now.
I promise you with 100% conviction that the NPC quests are too obscure to do on your first playthrough. Not only are they difficult to find without being extremely vigilant, there is a correct order to do everything in and if you don't you lose the quest.
Lastly, some NPC quests cannot occur alongside others. You have to which is your priority.

Need to work on tuesday...Game unlocks around midnight, right? I guess I'll be destroyed tomorrow. Maybe I'll just make my character. I want to make him look like an exact copy of me...on the other hand a Guts look-alike would be cool.
(Sent you a pm, by the way! ;D)
Yeah, i tried ds2 to ps4, didn't like... Still considering buying ds1 to ps3 because all the praise it gets.
My order with TGC was dispatched Friday morning, but unfortunately didn't arrive Saturday. Just a few hours until the postman arrives and the anticipation is killing me. Just done a 20k (exercise) bike ride, now I think I'll get the hoover out and give the living room a blast. Can't sit still!
I like you!

Thinking about going herald for my first playthrough. Seems balanced enough to experiment and learn. Is this a terrible idea?
OK good. Thanks.

Wat.
Demon Souls is eh.
Dark Souls is GOAT. Arguably one of the best videogames ever made.
Dark Souls 2 is fantastic, albeit strangely dissimilar. It offers something worth experiencing regardless.
Bloodborne is a beautiful, nigh unplayable mess that really shouldn't have been relegated to PS4 exclusivity. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Bloodborne. Unfortunately, the frame pacing issues made it impossible for me to play more than a few hours.

Same, I can't decide.
I wanna do a str build, so yeah, dunno what to do. I suppose warrior would be the wiser choice in the long run.
Saying bloodborne is unplayable is an exaggeration.
And saying Demon's Souls is eh is heresy. It's as good as any of them.
With my brother we tried a Dex/Bleed run with a thief + bandit dagger. It was fun and we arrived at the
boss,
. And guess what, like the
boss, the son of a b***** can't bleed
I really hope it won't be the case for most of the bosses because it's really not fun to kill a boss with a dagger, especially when you can't parry him.

I myself, do notice the framepacing, but it never posed a problem for getting my platinum. I enjoyed the game a lot and never thought it's as bad as people said it was.
This said, this will be the first time I play a Souls game @ 60fps on my PC.
So IDK, I may vomit or get sick or something if I play bloodborne after playing DS3 on PC.

Same, fps drops were noticeable sometimes but nothing that hindered my enjoyment with the game. Only when I checked gaf did I found out that people had such a problem with fps drops and were saying the game is unplayable due to that.
