You guys have the right idea. Will need to finish having sex with girlfriend by 11pm for launch which means if I'm started by 10:55 should be good.

 

[Orthogonal]

Will we have to log out and log back in for Steam to unlock or will it just be able to launch regardless?

 

[RyudBoy]

Unlocks in 20 mins or am I wrong?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Crazy question :

How's the PVP/Invasion stuff on PC ? Similar to consoles or OMG WTF HE'S INVINCIBLE, STEAM GUARD ??????

I've never seen a hacker.

 

[Soulflarz]

[Orthogonal]

For PC yes, on Console gotta wait until Midnight EST

 

[anddo0]

Amazon says my order won't be here until Thursday.. Thinking I may cancel that :|

 

[Goldfishking]

Anyone else have a plan?

Planning to choose warrior (16 STR, 9 DEX), level up DEX 3 times and then buy the halberd (16 STR, 12 DEX) at firelink shrine.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to play this for the first time today.

 

[aravuus]

I made sure to have sex with my wife last night in order to ensure my whole evening is free. First DS experience on PC. Can't wait.

Thank god I'm single again, at least this isn't a problem for me anymore!

 

[RyudBoy]

Yes, I meant for PC. Awesome!

You should have gotten release day delivery for free.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Still says over an hour for me

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

That's a good idea. I'll...brb.

Slacking Bro. Got that out of the way first thing this morning. Gotta have your souls priorities in order and save that last hour for the hype!

 

[NaughtyPrawn]

Man I'm so excited for this. Only thing I'm concerned about is I found Bloodborne to be such an evolution in regards to combat that I feel I could be let down by this.

I really hope the combat system in this matches up as I LOVED the trick weapons and the variety they brought. Also quite liked the shooting to parry.

Going in blind, so all I know is that I'll be deprived, and will level whatever feels most crippled.

 

[Dartastic]

WAIT THIS SHIT UNLOCKS IN 20 MINUTES ON STEAM? FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Alo0oy]

For those that have the game, does it have the personal effects menu from Bloodborne? (aka. best new feature).

 

[tamaster92]

I was hoping to use in home streaming since my gaming PC in unavailable atm, but it isn't working

Guess I'm stuck waiting till tomorrow

 

[Anno]

As someone who's only played a bit of the past games, is there a good video/series of videos anyone would reccomend for catching up on the lore? And if I want to track down mechanics help should I just pour over the wiki? Thanks!

 

[Orthogonal]

Epic Name Bro and Vaati Vidya have very good lore series, but be prepared to sink a lot of time into it.

Wait this unlocks in 20 minutes? Steam's counter makes it sound like another hour.

And here I was coming to the thread to ask Yoshichan to get locked out for another hour of entertainment.

 

[Scher]

Do they actually scale? I've heard conflicting reports.

Either way my main gripe is the lack of progression when playing with someone else. I'd love to be able to make a co-op game from the very beginning, and play with a friend in a world that advances both of us forward. Having to do everything twice is...irritating.

Salt and Sanctuary did it much better in that regard.

I still stand by what I said regarding easy mode. Every experience I've ever had with a Souls Boss has been much easier in co-op. Either the health does not scale or it does not scale well enough.

I don't know about the scaling for the other games since I didn't do much coop with people in those, but the first Dark Souls gave the bosses an additional 50% health for each additional person you had. Since it's not, like, a 1:1 scaling for each person, this meant that keeping weapons up to date meant that outgoing damage scaled much better than the boss' health.

This dude knows what's up.

 

[void666]

Guys you better be prepared for when the counter reaches zero and nothing happens.

 

[Shifty]

I've never seen a hacker.

Ironically it's very easy to export and mod your saves on ps3 too so hackers could have been equally common. I remember making a max soul level with it once to see how strong you can actually get.

[SleepehSheep]

My amazon order shipped for tomorrow. I could've swore I heard that amazon wasn't shipping the game until the 12th. It was previously saying it was gonna arrive on wednesday.

 

[Char Aznable]

CAN'T WAIT

 

[anddo0]

I don't have Prime, but have access to it. It didn't give me an option for free release day shipping. The only option was 1 day $7.99. I'm guessing it's because I didn't preorder until last Saturday.

 

[120v]

it just hit me i'm about to play dark souls fucking 3. feels good man

 

[Whide]

Huge DS fan, but just now bought Dark Souls 3! I'm ready for the game to unlock now!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

10 minutes until unpack errors.

Remember to restart Steam if it won't unpack.

 

[TitusTroy]

I wonder how many people are actually going in completely blind with no spoilers like me...I did watch the English trailer when it was released but that's it

 

[Vire]

Steam Players plz.

Wait for the rest of us. We are in this together.

 

[Sevenfold]

Same here, going blind !

 

[Shiokazu]

10 MINUTES, I CANT CONTROL MYSELF.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Anyone heard if faith/str is viable this time around? I've heard impressions that faith is weak this time.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I'm still torn between PS4 and PC versions. AHHHHHHH

I've stayed in the dark on purpose until now. Is DS3 more DS1 or DS2 world design?

 

[ramyeon]

How big is the day one patch on PS4? Am I gonna be waiting forever for that to download this morning once I pick up the game?

 

[FF Seraphim]

I'm still torn between PS4 and PC versions. AHHHHHHH

Get both!

 

[K' Dash]
