Faiblesse Des Sens Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I don't know how I'm going to refrain from playing this while I beat other games. Or how my roommate and I are going to split up the time (since I don't want to watch him play.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I don't know why I keep hoping that Gamefly titles arrive at my house by the release date considering that they are shipped at 7 am the day before release date and I'm 2 hours away from the shipping center. Ah well, it'll be here tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 So I walk into Gamestop at 8 AM, and I'm the first customer of the day. I ask for a copy of Ico/SotC and a copy of Dark Souls. Ico/SotC I get fine, but Dark Souls, they tell me they sold out at midnight release, then reprimanded me for not preordering. It was all I could do to keep myself from exploding right there. What. The. Fuck. This isn't some tiny fucking release, Gamestop! Have you seen the amount of publicity it's been getting over the past six fucking months?! Also, I don't fucking appreciate the look, Mr. GameStop Employee! You know, the one where you make me feel like I come in looking for fucking Ikaruga on Dreamcast! You have dropped the ball, GS. I fucking want Dark Souls and I'm going to find a way to fucking get it. To the indie stores! Awayyyyy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 You should have preordered mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I know, I know, I should've. I'm still looking for someone to blame, though. I do find it kind of ridiculous that GS, a company with a near-monopoly on the US physical games market, wouldn't have more copies for a game that has been endlessly hyped by the mainstream games media for the past six months.

Mercurial Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING GRACE OF BENDERS SHINY METAL ASS! This is ridiculous 3 hours on Taurus demon. I am gonna try more tomorrow, but this isn't very fun for me :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 So, still no shipping notice from Amazon.ca I still have a shipping estimate of oct 7, though... so I'll just have to wait, I guess... Though it does kinda worry me that they have separate listings for regular and collector's edition, and that the CE (the one I ordered) is no longer available for purchase. I mean, how could they possibly run out of CEs but not of regular editions when all first prints are CEs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Welp, I just reserved a copy from the GameStop 25 miles away. I'm helping a friend who lives right by it move in exchange for a ride (I don't have a car). I'm ecstatic and excited. Fuck to the yes.

MetalCaveman Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Supposedly my copy should arrive tomorrow, apparently the Limited Edition IS limited since many stores have run out of copies and other stores didn't even have them available no matter whether or not you pre-ordered. http://www.gameinfor...n-expected.aspx Giant Bomb's "Quick" Look. http://www.giantbomb...-souls/17-4966/ Also: Really cool weapon pretty much at the beginning of the game.

We can only recommend that you follow the steps above for the best chance at being able to join a specific friends' game." That's bullshit.

MetalCaveman Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Got it. It's fucking 2 handed heavy attack is stormruler Got it too, it's awesome against bosses. Speaking of: Have you killed the gargoyles? Where did you go after that? Also: The Pyromancer's starting spell is pretty useless, when it hits it's powerful, but it's really easy to evade and certain enemies will just murder you while you're casting it.

Mercurial Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) I went to the forest to kill the butterfly.

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am really tempted to pick this up, but I'm also scared that I won't be good enough to handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 GAAH! Holy shit, Amazon.ca! Ship my damn copy already!! >_< The shipping estimate was for today all along, but I honestly did not expect it would take them this fucking long to do it. It wouldn't have been the first time I get a shipping and delivery estimate as much as a week after release, but still get the game on release day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 So I'm hearing the co-op play in this is pretty fucked up. I'm sure I remember mentioning that it going from just PSN to XBL too would lead to some issues :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 So I'm hearing the co-op play in this is pretty fucked up. I'm sure I remember mentioning that it going from just PSN to XBL too would lead to some issues :/ Basically, the way the handle the co-op/invasion/multiplayer means that it's incredibly hard to play with specific dudes. Not only that, it's also harder to find anyone to invade/co-op with because you could end up in a server with no one in it, in a server where everyone is of completely different levels or where everyone is in a different area, in short, they kinda broke one of the most awesome components the game had. It's still possible to co-op with other dudes, but you have to be very patient or try/pray to get in a server where dudes are actually close to your level or in the same area as you are. I've noticed it while playing, sometimes there are a lot of messages everywhere, sometimes there are no messages anywhere, same with summoning signs, before one of the bosses I saw a bunch of soul signs and when I returned (got killed the first time ) there were 0 signs anywhere.

toxicitizen Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) W00t! Got my shipping notice! Won't get it until next week, but at least now I know it's coming! At least that gives me time to finish ICO, RE4 and Limbo over the week-end. Edited October 7, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
