Love these opening cinematics.
Me too, it's not every time, but sometimes when i pick something up or back down from the menu. But it's happened at least 4 times between the start and the second bonfire, on a SSD too.
Kinda annoying.
Can someone tell me if this game takes you immediately to the character creation screen upon starting a new game? I'd like to make my character before bed/with breakfast tomorrow so that when I get home from work I can dive right into the game. If there's an intro cutscene or playable intro like Dak Souls 2 then I'll just wait until I can play it proper.

I disabled hyperthreading and it helped.

Game crashed twice after killing the two dudes to the right of the first bonfire. Managed to avoid it by just ignoring them.
Got to the first boss, beat him on the first try, and then it crashed upon me trying to leave the area. =/

Crap, crap, crapola...
Managed to avoid the crash-at-bonfire issue (playing as Deprived by the way) by putting away my shield and two-handing my club. Everything is fine and dandy, if a little stuttery, until I get to the first boss...then the game crashes again, just as I'm attacking.
I'm pretty close to just getting a refund. I already beat the Japanese version so I'm not exactly missing out...

Holy fuck, shieldless 2H katana run is not going to be easy lol, I can already tell. Might have to mix things up a bit later!
Yeah, he's not easy. You can bait him into jumping off the cliff if you hang around the edge and just dodge the attacks. Sooner or later he'll jump down lol

How do I equip Firebombs? I only get the option to use them in the inventory, I want to be able to press down for them. And I don't understand the toolbelt.

In all my 10+ years of being a professional with a job I have never had to go on a business trip. Until today. Back on Wednesday, but I just want to play this damn game.
For those with really long unpacking time try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/comments/4ed1jv/for_those_with_long_unpacking_time/d1z1lm3

Man, coming from Dark Souls 1 just a couple of days ago, this is one beautiful game...

Well that was anticlimactic. Beat the "tutorial boss" first try with some really easy environmental exploits.
See above.
Pro tip:
Just like Havel.
See above.
Pro tip:
it can't move up the stairs of a narrow entrance. Jumping attack, back roll > it.

First with no pots, git gud
Tbf I tried to cut off the tail the first time
I dont think you can
I just invaded someone, so yeah it's working for me. Super laggy though.
No performance issues on my end (PC) but every time I exit any menu my character automatically uses their equipped item and the X button doesn't work in or out of menu. Talking to an NPC pretty much drains my estus in one go and I have to quickly open and close the menu to take a drink during a fight.

PC version here. I can't play it. It was mostly fine up to the first bonfire (one instance of a freeze for a few seconds and I don't know why as everything else was silky smooth) but now I approached the first bonfire and it just straight up crashed, and now everytime I load in I also crash instantly, the background noise comes in but the loading screen doesn't fade, it just crashes.
I'm a Herald if that helps (I heard there was a weird bug with the first bonfire and the Knight class so I dunno).

For anyone getting the firelink shrine bonfire crash, unequiping your shield seems to work, stupid but finally passed that hurdle.

I thought they said no tail cutting is in this?

DS4 is working for me using InputMapper but I hate the game defaults to show the Xbox buttons instead of automatically switching to a DS4 theme.
Beat the first two "major" enemies without dying. My Souls gaming has improved. Only an hour in and I'm already loving this. Nothing beats this gameplay.

Probably not talking about the same one.

Seems the crash at the first bonfire is a common one. How was this not picked up? I know Giant Bomb seemed to have an issue there but from the sounds of it pre-release, they were the only ones to have it. Everyone else seemed to be fine, I hadn't heard of a crash except from them.
No tail cutting in DS3.

At least they're easier to spot, now.
