Good luck to all who start their journey today. Extremely jealous that I have to wait until the 25th of April

Just came out of the shop with titanfall and dark souls 2 in my pocket. Just need to get home now! As quickly as possible.

Think I would get funny looks if I asked random people if I could use their Homeward Bone?

Was just about to tell people I was worried as the lad who comes around with the mail had one item for me and it wasn't Dark souls.

Then he just came back a minute ago and handed it to me!

Now the long wait.

Lads the game is in my possession. I shall see thee in 2-3 days, or when im so pissed off at a boss i need to vent my rage on the forums

1 CE available in the Charlestown store in Finglas. Was gonna snag it but only got €45 credit with the games i traded in.

The hardback guide is available on Book Depository for €25:

I've one on pre-order with Amazon but they still don't have it in stock. No rush on it but it could easily sell out.

The guide for the first game was a thing of beauty and very handy on subsequent playthroughs.

It'a effin brilliant. Absolutely love not knowing what's going to be around the next corner, and love the sense of exploration that the Souls series gives. It doesn't look great, at least not from a graphical / texture point of view, but you won't really notice as the area design is excellent.

Also, clicked a certain sign and it told me there's been 15 million deaths worldwide :P

No black armour or CE availabile in either gamestop I was in this morning, smyths have the regular one for 49.99 so wouldnt be giving gamestop 60 for it will get it later.

Finish work.
Get game.
Get munchies and beer.
Tell everyone go away.
Relish in dying over and over and over.


That's my night sorted

Is it interconnected like the first game or more of a hub style of Demons Souls? I heard reports of both.

Yeah graphically it actually looks worse than demon souls and dark souls 1 which is sort of ridiculous but the fps in most places is a little smoother so its a good trade off in my opinion.

I imagine the PC version in six months and the xbone/ps4 version in about a year will be a lot prettier.

Yeh it's interconnected. You can just warp to places if you want to instead of running.

Fast travel from the get go eh?

Kiith

It definitely feels more demons souls so far anyway, but that might be just cause I'm so used to dark souls. Started as a swordsman, and by God it's tough without a shield. Also, I'm picking fights with this I really shouldn't be

ShadowHearth

Just thrown a good amount of junk food in to me. My body is ready! Installing patch and of I go!!!

Yeah, it's available from the 2nd bonfire.

Hmmm dunno if I like that so early in the game, you worked for it in the first one. Being able to jump around kinda takes away from having to slog through areas using what you'd learned previously. I'm presuming you have to at least reach where you want to warp to first?

Just picked up the only black armour edition available in GS Cavan.

Funny thing happened while I was there.. Some guy came in about 15secs after me looking for the Black Armour edition. He was pretty disappointed that I got the only copy. He seemned like a nice chap so I said we'd flip a coin for it.

I won.. And thus my body is ready :cool:

Yeah bonfire needs to be activated before you can warp. And I've not used it yet, so can't really comment on how it will change the game.

Ah cool, will try my best to not use it straight away, be a bad habit to get into and you'd be doing yourself out of learning and souls anyway just bouncing around from one area to the other. Will wait to open the game world up more before I start doing that. be handy for replays and NG+ though.
