Regarding fashion souls: I'm just going to roll with whatever armor looks the most badass. Given that people beat the games SL1 with no armor I'm just not gonna worry about it. A powerful weapon is much more important (a good shield and lots of stamina help too.)

It's not possible to get a pretty girl, at least in Dark Souls. All mine look pretty homely. Fitting I suppose if you're going to wield a sword.

I had a girl in Demon Souls but it's been too long since I played that.

I would fuck the shit out of my DeS DaS female toons as hard as Saner would let 15 year old Momoko fuck his ass with a strapon.

For feminism.

Apparently the mall wouldn't let Gamestop do a midnight release indoors... Gamestop just left a message on my machine saying to show up at Champps sports bar at midnight if I want to pick up the game early. All they're missing now is a code phrase so I can identify myself as the buyer before they say, "You have 24 hours to win this game or it will self-destruct."

That was terrible.

Goofy song, gameplay looked unfinished, walking animation from that dumb angle looks like they didn't even use motion capture.

Remember how in the Beta your character would run with a sword and shield like a total poof?
Dude looked like Sohpitia from Soul Calibur or something.

Gotta stay away from any more gameplay footage/trailers until tomorrow....it's putting my enthusiasm in peril.

Comment on midnight release copy: I can't even make it through the character creation, too many wacky advanced settings and every time I tinker with one results in facial destruction. I'll try again tomorrow.

Tried it... was pleased with the lighting, flowing fabric effects and the tutorial/hub sections look really nice.

Game seems kind of disjointed so far....and glitchy as well. I made a male character and 7 hours in I notice "he" has breasts that weren't there before. So I had to start over again and now I'm banging my head a against a wall trying to recreate a male face that doesn't look gay or like Anders Breivik.

No denying the good things in this game but they seem to be balanced out with enough bad to make my opinion on the game neutral (so far).


EDIT: So going in the coffin changed my gender.....what. the. fuck.

Yes, lots of glitchiness and sketchy planning so far. The coffin effect needs a better animation. The whole system involving torches needs its own tutorial plus at least 1 extra torch for players to get the feel for it. Finally, I just lost my first game hours in because I died as I was killing a knight that drops a Sublime Bone Dust and therefore made it impossible to fully upgrade my potions during this run. Until this type of glitch gets fixed, you pretty much have to insta-reset any time you double KO vs a nonrespawnable enemy with a fixed drop, which is extremely stupid - the previous games didn't have this issue.

Just a PSA do NOT hack apart treasure chests, it will ruin the item inside. I realized this after about 3 times of course.

Has anyone else run into the sound glitch, where the sound lags. Its happened to me a few times. Also the targeting seems to be different. Just died because the game targeted the enemy furthest away from me. WTF!!! Also if you die enough in a certain area, the enemies will not spawn. Not sure if i like that

Yeah, the game feels really fucking weird so far. Not only sound lag, but input lag as well.
Parries hardly every work but in the meantime I'm dumping points into adaptability just in case it increases run/roll/reaction speed.

It feels like Mugen Demon's souls to me. I've been wary ever since this was announced and went radio silence a long time ago. I've sunk over 1000 hours into the first two games and this is just not clicking for me the way the others immediately did.. the first time I've ever taken a day off work for a game and I'm already missing my databases.

I've parried some of the hollow soldiers (such as those in the Forest of Fallen Giants) but wasn't able to get a riposte - you can't immediately follow up the parry with that I guess. You have to wait a second?

I'm enjoying the game so far.

I started as a Cleric but I've only played for around 4 hours. I've unlocked the blacksmith and just beat my first boss. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to really sit down with the game this weekend.

Mugen Demons Souls is a good way of putting it. Even though I'm not letting my experience with the past 2 games control my perception of this one, it still seems to lack that "ah hah!" moment where everything clicks, like you say.

Perhaps I'm not understanding proper stat distribution, half the battle is usually knowing what gear/spells/bosses are out there and then creating a build that can prepare for it all.
