Still no pre-order status from Amazon... I feel like they'll never ship it to me.
Apparently switching the speed and then going back to two day shipping made it estimated to be delivered on release day for some people though.
My understanding is that it only fixes it if you have gone from no estimated date, to a later, non-launch date. If you have no date estimate, changing shipping speed won't magically get you one (launch day or otherwise) unfortunately.
Hnnggg!Part 2 of the making of should be up in a few hours.

BEARDS.
Finally. I hope it scales with Strength.
So is something weird going on with CE Amazon preorders or what?
That's it?
I don't have an arrival estimate announced for my CE yet.
Getting kind of worried. I took 2 vacation days specifically to play this game when it comes out. Would serve me right if it doesn't arrive until the 13th and I spend those two days in anxious boredom waiting for it to arrive. Yep, I'm about 90% sure that's what's going to happen.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Character customization has never been the series' strongsuit.
Not sure if that's the case here. Lack of beard choice doesn't mean actual facial customisation is bad. A guy who has a press build of the game said he spent about an hour customising a female character. Probably an exaggeration but it's likely a lot better than DS1.

LOL Giant Dad using Strength scalingHow many Japanese Giant dad's did you ever run into playing near launch at 2am NA time (sat morning cartoon time for Japan)??
Think it might come to this. I really don't want those vacation days to go to waste.just buy a day one edition at midnight release party and sell/trade when CE arrives. I have gifted so many DS products now its unreal. It doesn't feel like a waste of coin when its a gift. Especially if the gift is used/wanted!?
BEARDS.

Last good Strength weapon was the pre-nerf Black Knight Greataxe. Stupid that From nerfed it.
Same here and it feels good. Going in completely blind. It's gonna be amazing jumping into this beast next week.Only one week to go.
By keeping myself away from the hype machine I have successfully mantained an almost complete blackout for DS2. Fortunately, the very few things I learned had more to do with the changes and improvements over the first game.
I have absolutely no idea of where the game starts. No clue about the areas, bosses, mobs, interconnections of levels, etc. It will be all fresh new (which is exactly how I experienced the first Dark Souls).

Just a quickie.....I'm UK based but have a US PSN account on my PS3 - I presume this means I can pre-order the game from the US PSN store and get it on the 11th rather than the 14th?
Just checking there isn't some sort of region based issue I've forgotten stopping me doing this
2 hours and 6 mins for the OT. YAYS

From my experience downloading PS2 games early from US PSN, you shouldn't have a problem playing US DS2 on the 11th. You may be limited to playing on your US account, but don't quote me on that.
God's speed, sir. I for one will be trying to contain my hype until the EU store unlocks it on the 14th. This is some legit excitement building.
