"THAT'S NOT A SCREENSHOT, THAT'S JUST ART." - bakkusa

The DLC listed on steam is the soundtrack (Pre-Order bonus) and season pass. There will eventually be two large expansions supposedly though.

I upgraded my armor in DS2 just because I was super happy with my outfit and plenty of upgrade materials.

ya but what i dont get is, the early streamers thing was a thing for dks1, dks2 and bb as well. why suddenly the outrage? i mean i guess those streamers didn't get early copies from the publisher?

The games have gotten exponentially more and more popular. It's just a side effect of having a larger fan base. People that aren't angry don't go to the subreddit as often as people that go there to complain. So when you have that many entitled little pricks, you get the subreddit filled with them. Meanwhile "normal" people like us just walk by thinking "What the fuck is wrong with these people?"

I was getting annoyed with the rage from the subreddit too. For fuck's sake they were made that streamers got early copies for free. News flash: Streamers ALWAYS get early copies for free. Reviewers too. If you want to avoid spoilers, maybe avoid youtubers that might make videos of it and don't watch streamers playing it. Besides which, Japan was getting it a few weeks earlier either way. Streamers would have been streaming it like crazy anyway.

I also thought the way blood vials work would be annoying but it turns out blood vials are everywhere and not having them refill just encourages you to make use of the health regen.

Yeah, my only problem with it is that if you lose to a boss too much you have to farm blood vials and quicksilver bullets (or echoes to buy them).

Maneaters in DeS is bullshit. Or rather annoying they just keep flying around the stage while doing really nothing most of the time while I'm unable to hurt them. Almost killed them until last one pushed me over the ledge in last second 

The fight takes really long even if I cheese first one through fog door with bow

Yeah, I cheesed the first one with the bow and the fight was still kinda tough. I think I did it a little too early though.

Pre-load is up on steam! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Oh no, someone posted and its not Saturday, better get unnecessarily pissed off, insult their work, and then argue like a 5th grader when people think its not a big deal.

Nice vids, crazy battles. Personally though, I thought Amygdala was a breeze. Even in the chalice dungeons. You just run backwards around the arena locked on and whenever she has her head down, do a quick attack, then repeat. Once she rips off her arms you just stay underneath the tail and everytime she jumps stand completely still. Her hand will be where you are and you won't take any damage.

here is a good tip for you: you don't have to do things you don't want to do

It's not really that simple. If someone wants to be a big game developer and wants to make a lot of money doing it, then there's a lot of parts to it they might not enjoy but still have to do. I dislike all business aspects of being an indie, but I still do it because its necessary.

A lot of people are reporting that Amazon is saying it will arrive on like the 21st, but if you contact customer support they can make it come on the release day.

I haven't beat any bosses yet. Did a lot of exploration through the west and now working my way through the east. The game is really fun. I love the vagueness and the fact that all dialogue is in pictures.

If you have a lot of fans, they usually like a little communication, but that doesn't mean you have to go on twitter and respond to everyone. You could just post detailed patch notes, or if tons of people are complaining about an issue you can post about being aware and working on it. You don't have to get in discussions with fans. They just want to know someone is listening and not ignoring them. If you have a ton of fans and money, you could definitely hire a community manager to deal with that stuff for you.

Abhorrent Beast had me pulling my hair out after about 7 tries. I was thinking, "This is bullshit. What the fuck am I even supposed to do here?" I refused to cheese him. After about a dozen tries I ended up being an absolute pro at him. Dodged like 50 of his attacks in a row. When I fought him again in the lower depth I beat him on the second try.

fume knight is one of the only bosses in this series that is actually "cheap". the 1hit kill sword sweep is pure bullshit with its vague ass hitbox. FUCK that guy, seriously.

I've never gotten hit by that. I think there are plenty of cheap bosses though. Especially in Bloodborne's chalice dungeons. I love challenging bosses, but some bosses are so cheap that they're just frustrating.

First time I did that bridge I just ran through. Got hit once. The bridge with the blue dragon though. T_T Eventually killed that bastard so he wouldn't bother me again.

Dark Souls 1 is probably best. With only 8 days left I might be tempted to say just start with Dark Souls 3, but it actually seems like the story relies heavily on knowledge of DS1's lore.

^ Love that trailer.

I beat Demon's Souls. Great game. Now I've played and beaten every game in the series. King's Field doesn't count. They didn't age well at all.

I'm sure it has its flaws, but I'm excited. The dozen other people I've talked to that have played it told me its their favorite in the series now.
