Yep, From Software is the real deal. I expect the game to sell bucketloads.

I'm so on the fence about this game. Most of it sounds very good, I think I'm really in need of a challenging game, but I've never played a Souls title and I'm usually turned off by games with minimal or vague story aspects. So I don't know whether I want to spend the high asking price for something I might not like. Guess I'll wait for a price drop unless I come into some extra money I won't worry too much about spending on something I might not enjoy [emoji14]

Then I would be inclined to say, rather get Dark Souls 2 as a nice starter. The story in any Souls series is extremely open ended and let's you piece it together how you see fit. As an example a colleague and I have two very different takes on Artorias and Sif from Dark Souls 1.

Is official release only tomorrow (25th)? Somehow thought it was the 24th? Maybe worth trying CNA or Toys-R-Us?

Anyone have preload going yet?

I read Jim Sterlings review and he compares the game to demon souls that is great to here and most reviews seem to say that it is it"s own game and that excites me.

Went to CNA and they wouldn't give it to me. sniff

Right, Father Gascoigne just fucked me up solid. Think I got one hit in.


#Edit
managed to get him down to half life a few times, but he just varies his attacks so much and constant barrage on you. Unlimited stamina!

Yeah he can be a real bitch. Took me about 15 tries to take him down. Check the spoiler tags in the previous posts [MENTION=22]Deceptor[/MENTION] and I made. If you get the quest he mentions you get something that might or might not help with this fight.

Yeah, I've mentioned this numerous times. Very cool indeed.

I like to try alone without any aids or assistance a few times first.

Spoiler: show

I have a Music Box which it's item description has his name and Viola. I've put two and two together that I must need to do something with it, but it doesn't really do much but open it and close it. Unless I use it in the boss fight with him, which I haven't tried.

And what do you guys make of the loading times?

I don't really mind them as it tends to give you a breather and relax you a little.
