Yes!

What's your twitch channel link? Also are you playing the ps4 version?

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Try to other side, I think you have to go there via staircase in firelink

thanks :3

edit: also why does (question regarding

Spoiler

firelink

)

Spoiler

fog gates keep appearing in firelink shrine?

 

[Chance Hale]

no, but

Spoiler

have you unlocked the elevator shortcut to the first bonfire?

Nope! Guess I'll explore around. Really getting wrecked in the first callback area of the game and I'm having a hard time finding alternate paths/areas compared to the other games. Probably just rusty.

 

[Strange in Stereo]

I'm calling it a night, great game so far. After the starting area, the performance has gotten better and stayed that way so far. I'm at

Spoiler

the tree boss and haven't figured out how to beat him/her yet, no spoilers please.

One question about an early boss in the

Spoiler

High Wall

area.

Spoiler

The Dancer of the Frigid Valley from the Network Test ist gone, they didn't remove her completely, right? Anyone found a way to trigger the fight yet? Has it something to do with the old lady being alive/dead?

Regarding your question:

Spoiler

I think they just moved her. Like they did with Ebrietas in Bloodborne (she appears in one place in previews and in another in the full game).

And I agree, game is great so far.

 

[tesqui]

So after fighting the

Spoiler

guard dog boss

and open the

gate

there is a

completely blinding light

. Is this supposed to happen or is my game glitched? I can't see anything. Haven't really been able to follow the lore if it's related.

that move set was stunning

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

So what's the concensus?

Having lot of fun, I still have to get out of the area I was spoiled by the preview event this month, since know it kinda feels like I already played this (with the reused assets even more).

But I'd say is easily DkS level.

 

[Fakeknowledge]

Turned it off for the night. I'm only in the second main area but at present it's on course to topple Dark Souls as the best in the series for me (early days i know). If it can keep the Bloodborne/Demon's consistency going to the end we'll have the GOAT.

Question regarding the boss in the second area:

Spoiler

I thought the Tree was optional? I couldn't find anywhere else to go though.

Someone at the preview event had that bug. I'd try restarting your game.

 

[Envelope]

the environments i've seen are absolutely stunning too, and a far cry from the bloodborne rip-off so many were afraid of

Okay, I'll try that. Hopefully I don't have to reinstall.

Dont know exactly, but in a basement in undead settlement, there is a medal. Then you equip it i think ? But we dont know where to go for giving them for covenant.

it's a Japan PSN store thing.

Pre-order = Play at midnight

Dont Pre-order = wait for the store to update later.

one shotted first3 bosses :c

idk, in my case as soon as I entered their room they killed themselves. I'm just that good

Oh okay, so it wasn't pulled.

After you have fought

Spoiler

the ice bull in the High Wall area, gargoyles take you to the next one. You make your way through a village and reach an area were a large group of villagers is gathered around a big tree. Don't rush in, keep your distance. There is a path to the right, before the first bridge, that leads to a run-down house. You can drop down through the floor in this house, find a closed door, go up the stairs right next to that door, drop down again and end up in the room with the closed door.

There's the Sunbro sign inside.

oh man. would we have to wait until Tuesday or does the JPN store update on different days?

 

[Fakeknowledge]

Spoiler

Undead Settlement. The big fire with a lot of praying enemies, to the right of it there's a bridge, ignore it and head straight past the fire into a cave like area. In there there's a room with a locked door, go up the stairs and there's a hole to drop down into the room. It's in there.

edit: beaten

 

[ramyeon]

I imagine it will be up later this afternoon Japan time.

 

[FreeQuebec86]

From what i read, it would be "today" like 11am eastern = Midnight for japan.

So maybe at 1am eastern, it will be 15h in Japan. So my guess is this night.

but just a guess.

"We gonna release the game 3 weeks later for no reason, but neither can allow From getting all money from people like you! But don't worry you can watch people playing the full version on Twitch!"

 

[Needlecrash]

Still steaming. I seems to be holding out okay so far. 2 deaths.

 

[Guru-Guru]

7.5 hours until I will be home from work and can finally play. I have barely anything to do at work today, so the wait is killing me!

Invasions?

 

[Mendrox]

Started with Pyromancer, killed two bosses so far and face off against the third who is a serious bitch imo. Seems to be just a patient boss which is annoying.

I love the game so far. Graphicaly it is a bit worse than Bloodborne, but otherwise it is my true Dark Souls 2. Summoning also works like a charm and is crazy fast. Cool enemies and the music is astounishing like always.

Buuut I am getting headaches and since I've got vacation I will go to sleep soon and start streaming again.

 

[Fakeknowledge]

Yeah i had the same problem, weird.

 

[Skatterd]

Dropping in here from my playthrough and trying to avoid most spoilers I haven't seen but just wanted to say Minor Chime Spoiler:

Spoiler

I almost shit myself when I discovered the Chime weapon art heals you slowly without any spells attuned

 

[FreeQuebec86]

I had that too for the "Stair exit".

To resolve that, i just went at the top of the stair, like countinue until the wall/fall, then comeback. Just countinue to go up and go back.

Look like a glitch.

( I'm not english btw xD )

 

[Hixx]

As much as I love their games... how can From think the framerate on the second boss is remotely acceptable? The input lag was incredible at times. Luckily it is a fairly simple fight but still

 

[Auto_aim1]

Can someone post a screenshot of their network menu (the one with the password). You know the one that works and is possible to summon by placing a sign. I think I messed something up.

 

[Lighthouse]

My game started auto downloading right away. I switched back to US asap but I have japanese text. Can I still download the english version?? How would I have avoided the auto download start? SHIT!

 

[Laws00]

I just want to know in this game like DARK SOULS 2, if I kill enough of the same enemies in a certain spot will they disappear and not appear again?

 

[Grassy]

2 hours in, finally created my character. GG.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Finally reached

Undead Settlement

, used a phantom to kill 2 boss, and I wish I didn't do that, too easy.

But I wanted to try how was summoning in the game.

Also there's no way to catch Yoshichan lol

 

[Lakitu]

Couple a questions, any decent streams going? And is there a full list of areas?

I don't mind spoilers, it hasn't affected my feeling of media whatsover.

Delete it and restart the download now you're on the US store, I believe.

This seems to have worked. Will report back as soon as I can launch the game.

enemies will always appear no matter how many times you kill them. This doesn't include special enemies. Once you kill speical enemies, they won't appear.

 

[Wagram]

How's everyone finding the difficulty so far? Harder or easier than other Souls titles (including BB).
