Uncharted 4 will likely be the media's GOTY (& maybe my second or third), but a From Soft game is always GOTY to me.
Nice thread. Sword and board for me, so I'm rolling a warrior. Anyone got any stat tips from the import thread?
Been playing through the Dark Souls 2 DLC the past couple of days to get back into the Soul feeling. Not the SOTFS mind you, but plain ass vanilla ps3 DS2.
I;ve only got Ivory King to go through but holy hell, some parts like Fume knight were pretty rough. Felt like the DLC was harder than Bloodborne's. Real good stuff though.

All the vigor!
It stops mattering after a couple hours but it's my favorite way to start these games.
I also didn't use any magic or bows or summon on my first NG.
Now I feel free to cheese everything all day in future playthroughs
It's way more badass to start as a level 1 deprived character than it is to choose a level 10 class and then take off the armor, even if you ignore the advantages in stats.
I just like the feeling of my character starting with absolutely nothing and then end up as a demigod/demigoddess.

Pretty sure it unlocks in the same moment for everyone.
I posted this in the review thread but the Soundtrack has all boss names, one of which is a direct spoiler and then

Certain pieces of equipment (trying to be as vague as possible here) can be found in upgraded form in NG+, and NG++.
But no enemy placement remixing unfortunately.

I agree. DSIII will be my personal GOTY 2016 without question. It actually dethroned DaS as my favorite title of all time.

I'm trying to decide if I want to play this on PC with a 360 controller + dongle or wired DS4.
Actually, is there a good wireless adapter out there that will pair with DS4? What are my options here?

Thank you for this. I generally don't listen to an OST until I have beaten the game, or at least heard said song in game, but I was going to load it up on my computer. I'll avoid looking at track names now.
Shit, it's been the longest wait since JPN release. Still super hyped.
Yeah I think so, can't really decide though! Someone convince me!
Cool I don't want to pay £20 extra for no reason. Thanks.
There's only one first playthrough, don't compromise, choose deprived.
Put your shield in your right and tell me it's ambidextrous.
Only option for me. That way I can respect to try stuff and not worry about min maxing so much.

How is the Pyromancer? I always fall back to sword and board in these games but want to try something new.

I use this one: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-product?pid=01t80000003Hgu9AAC
Works in windows right away and paired it with ds4windows always gives me less than 2ms of input lag.

Can't decide between Warrior or Knight. I usually go Warrior because all dodging and huge weapon is my favorite play style, but I don't know if I want to switch it up this time because of stances.
Any bluetooth adapter works. I use a PCI chip that has bluetooth and wifi. Here's why I like it:
- Doesn't take up a USB port
- It's plug-and-play, no drivers required
- It's great for decluttering your desktop and the speeds are fantastic.
- Haven't really had any appreciable loss of speed from ditching the ethernet cable
- My desk area looks that much cleaner.
- Plus it's only 32 bucks!

So about casters, faith builds aren't useless like they were in DS2 post-patch, right? Sorcery and Pyromancy are boring as shit, nothing is cooler than throwing around Lightning Spears and Lightning Storms while wielding a Sunlight Blade.
First build will be dex as usual, but I gotta have my Zeus build after that.

I haven't played DS3 Yet but in previous games Pyromancer was always fun because your intelligence stat didn't really matter for the power of the spells. SO you could be a swordsmen and still have cool, strong fire spells

So I wanna play as pyro because I've never been any good at back stabbing or riposting in these games, but I don't like the pyro's starting stats and wanna start deprived
how long does it take until you get a glove?
and is there only one type of glove?

How many controllers have you broken playing this?

I think pyro scales with both faith and int this time
Audioboxer

Pyro needs int and faith now.
That's not true, they scaled off faith and intelligence equally. They were still pretty powerful at base level, but if you wanted to be a real pyromancer you had to put a lot of stats into faith and intelligence, much more so than you'd usually need when doing a faith only or int only build.
EDIT: Looks like that's the case in DS3 too.
I agree. Have never tried deprived as a starting class before, always choosed knight or warrior. Seems like I'll go half naked to my death then

I'm curious about Faith as well, I'd like to do a Strength/Faith build for my first run.

Hehe, Yeah there was a soft/hard cap of 20/50 in Dark Souls 2. I don't know what it is in 3 though.

Same here first time with them. Moment it went to preload I got my key. Not to mention their keys come directly from the publishers. Great experience.

You can indeed use weapon arts in either hand. That was the question.
