Do you have the US digital version on order? I saw you had ordered a bunch of versions, but not digital?
I got the US digital and my hard copy Collector's Edition from Webhallen (who have sometimes shipped games out early). I also ordered the strategy guide from Webhallen.

Hold the fuck up. I thought Amazon had strategy guide exclusivity? Should I cancel my order for it? 'cuz right now I'm paying like 460:- for the guide from Amazon

Yeah I saw you had that ordered on Amazon. I was surprised to see it on Webhallen. No clue how they got it, but it's available for 249:-. Unfortunately it releases on the 15th of April.

I gave this advice earlier in the thread and I still stand by it^^
"Every one is different, so it is possible this game may not be up you ally. For me, I have bought, played, and failed to beat every game in the series thus far, but I still feel inclined to get this day one. For me it is the art, setting, and atmosphere that has me interested and the fact that my younger brother is picking it up means that for the first time I will have a co op buddy to help me through the hard times. My advice? Have one of you buddies share play it to you so you can try it out for an hour or two with them giving you hints and advice where you need it. If you dig it, buy it and play it co op with them^^"

The release date sucks, but damn, I checked how much I would pay for the guide (with the quickest shipping) and it's 580 SEK... THAT'S 66 AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR A GUIDE BOOK. Fuck that. I'm canceling my order and buying it for 40 bucks cheaper on Webhallen. You just saved me a bunch of food-money, I owe you big time.

The Gaming reaper just saw the trailer, looked at his scythe and decided to switch to chainsaw mode.
Casual souls confirmed
The person on reddit said he played for about 45+ hours.

Yeah saw that but what is interesting is the
apparently 4 ending thing

45 hours seems a little bit short for a Souls game...
It really isn't, experienced players can finish Demon's Souls in like 20 hours.

Demon's Souls on average took 33h to beat, Dark Souls took 48 and DS2 49. The guy also more than likely rushed through it considering that it only recently started popping up in shops.
Do not post that shit in here. Goodness gracious people wtf? Make a separate thread for this if you want to ruin the game for yourselves that bad.

How so? I beat Demon's Souls and Dark Souls around 30ish hours.
Plus you can beat the games in waaaay less time afterwards.
45 hours to beat the tutorial you mean.

I finished Dark Souls in 45 hours a couple times too (even under 40 hours) and it didn't ever feel short to me.
Also, whoever finished it in 45 hours could have rushed the game. Reminds me of that 5 hour talk we had with the Order 1886. Took me 9 hours to beat that one.
The majority of people's time in Souls games, especially their first, is spent figuring things out. Once you know how these games go down, the first play through is much smoother. 40-50 hours for a playthough of a game that will most likely warrant additional playthoughs sounds amazing to me.
yeah, no.this is actually a p good time for a NG run. beat Dark Souls II NG in 20 hours so this is good news.
ALSO let's please not forget about chalice dungeons and dat replayability.
No.
Demons was low 30s and dark was low 40s averages
No issue with length here folks
It will probably take me twice as long...

Ideal length imo.

Beat Demons in 30 hours.
Played for 2 years
Beat Dark after 2 years finally, took 28 hours.
Couldn't stomach Dark 2 enough to finish.
Finish time means nothing in these games. They can be forever played. And really with the Chalice Dungeon, which seems to be infinitely replayable. You'll be good to go.

Idc what kind of game it is. For me, 45 hours is never short.

But we are speaking about a first run....
If you have beaten Demon's in 40 hours during your first run congratulations...

For just the story.....nah that seems perfect.
Longevity in Souls comes from NG+, online and now in Bloodborne, Chalice dungeons.

Just want to avoid more stupid concern talk. Had enough with it before the Order launched.

Yeah seems the CE is sold out. I am so glad I ordered it as soon as it was announced.
