Is there any additional content on the Black Armor edition? I don't need the trinkets but I don't fancy having a chunk of the game left out, especially considering the DLC in DS was the best part.

Fancy metal case and a soundtrack disc is all.

but it's cheaper than normal version for some reason so if you can may as well pick it up. The sound track could be very good

Looks like Namco Bandai are going all out marketing the game compared to its predecessors.

Namco Bandai has revealed pre-orders for Dark Souls II are 50 per cent up on its predecessor.

And this is before the publisher’s main ad campaign kicks in. The firm has put a massive £1m into marketing the game to a mainstream audience.

“We have everything going for Dark Souls II. The PR and community teams have been incredibly hard at work since the game was first revealed,” said Namco Bandai product manager Gary Chantler.

“They have been working like mad getting the game through the specialist and mainstream press channels.“

Now that amazon have promised me a black armour that won't arrive until the 18th realistically, my thoughts have turned to trying to sort out a stopgap for that weekend cos I don't think I can take not playing it for the bank holiday.

Having not played demon or dark souls is it nuts for me to jump straight into this?

Wouldn't be completely nuts, but if you can pick up a copy of either on the cheap, you have 2 weeks to brush up on your roll dodging!

Just did it.

Wow, suprised I qualify for first class. What's the threshold in UK?

For 3.50 fee to parcel motor it's now estimated to arrive on the Friday to NI. Do parcel motor operate on a Saturday?

When do they take the 3.50 from me?

if you have the credit card set up they take it from you whenever the game arrives at their depot up north. yea they deliver on saturday, my bet is that we will have it at latest friday night though, they deliver pretty late into the night to the depots around the country.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah i was up and out at 1am rushing to the parcel motel depot for my last package


was pretty dissapointed when i got there and it was just a sample pack of some new halls mints i'd signed up for

Would that not ruin it? I bought guide book for sky rim after not playing oblivion and it didn't really help me just learn from playing loads

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it would ruin it

don't do that

You can repsec in DSII. And if you really need a guide you'll find everything you need online after a fairly short period of time.

Have decided I'm going to wait for PC.

This made me laugh out loud! Great stuff. I'm gonna get it on the PC as well as the PS3. Wouldn't miss the first few weeks of discovering stuff and sharing information with everyone on the internet. Plus the online interactions of the PC version of Dark Souls was ****ed up. Waiting days for a summon/invade then you have the hackers :mad:

Gave my PS3 to my little cousin when I bought my PS4...




















Looks like I'll be asking for it back! :pac:

had my ps3 put away in the wardrobe after getting a ps4, but its been put back under the tv in wait for dark souls 2, ps4 is now put into wardrobe..

johnny_ultimate

Changed to Parcel Motel there as well. Normally I'd be more than happy to wait until the following week to play a game (the rush for day one doesn't really concern me anymore) but sure you'd miss out on half the fun of a new Dark Souls if you had to wait a couple of days

Zero-Cool

Lads even with my ps4, I have only been playing dark souls on ps3 and I'm more looking forward to dark souls 2 than I am infamous. Then I would get southpark. Would be madness to get rid of ps3.
