It's been out for 2 days here.
Am I dumb for awaiting my collectors' edition? :/

And here I am! Got the fourth to last copy without having preordered. Also got their last CE guide, which I will reference for artwork after I beat the game.

Reviews are coming in, people are whining about the death penalty. They look like...whiners.

First impressions...
The Bandai Namco, From Software, and Havok logos went through much faster so the start up time of the game is quicker.
ALREADY A BETTER GAME :3! okay that might not be a good enough reason but still ><

I have to wait till I get off work at 7am to pick up my CE at Bestbuy.
Can't wait to start the grind to max level. Hope it's still 700 something and not capped to something that prevents you from maxing yourself out completely.
I'll probably start out as a Knight or any class that has good starting items.
Going for full efficiency (as best as I can in a new game) on my first playthrough.

I loved being able to skip those logos in DS1.

Haha. I'm glad there is a penalty for dieing. Dieing in DS1 was irrelevant for the most part, and I think you should be punished for *** up in some way or another. It kind of sends the message of something like "hey, you're *** up/not good enough yet, go get better and come back later". (enemy talking)

My first death...
Trying to sneak by the big rat giant thing off to the side before the witches. I succeeded the 2nd time though! :3
By Vyrerus 2014-03-11 01:30:19
My first death was to these 3 Conquistador looking fellows while I was trying to talk this chap near some tree. It's harder to roll dodge, requires more timing, even naked.

Vyre.... D: Spoiler plz.
Though I guess I shouldn't be reading either. xD
By Kalila 2014-03-11 02:00:36
Yus, remember to spoiler anything that involves the gameplay basically :)

I will say this, the character creation is a bit...well...
The hair is awfully bright.

The hair is awfully bright. Use the customize sliders.
I went in depth on my char, but it really reminds me of the Demon' Souls character creation. In fact, the game is playing so far very much like Demons' Souls. Also wtf, you can swap your gender at any time in this weird coffin thing next to a hippo cyclops O.o

GameStop sends message that they are doing a midnight launch. Show up, doors are locked.
This game is already torturing me.

Going well so far... >_> Mines something like this:
Was awesome and cautious while beating hollow infantry with my fists. Got beaten by a team = 1.
Come back, get ganked by the team again = 2.
Go back and explore tutorial area... Hippo Cyclops = 3 & 4.
Hollow from behind = 5.
Trying to figure out how to level up atm...
By Vyrerus 2014-03-11 02:41:03
Starting to like it more now. It's like Dark Souls and Demons' souls mixed together. I've also found armor and items so I'm not naked anymore. Unsurprisingly I found a shield as my first item.
