Got the game yesterday. Have a hard depression and I wanted to play the game to not give a fuck about anything.
During the night 450mb patch downloaded but I played the game and didn't install it, so I dunno what it does.
Started playing around 9PM, ended in 5AM to get a few hours of sleep before work.
The biggest complaint so far is just wooden feel of many animations. I can't even describe it - but many of you will notice that. After polishness of Bloodborne seeing some W3 stuff just makes me roll my eyes.
Combat feels a bit off too - but Im only lvl 6 and have like nothing upgraded. I remember not liking W2 combat for first 8 hours too. Then again after some Bloodborne combat feels a bit weak.
Biggest technical issue so far - many cutscenes feel like they are in alpha-stages or something straight from MMOs. For example characters stay in their places for a glimpse and then they act a cutscene out. Just feels a little like unpolished bits.
And yeah - in all the other stuff the game is just GREAT. Personally, I would not give it a 10 out of 10, but it's one of the best games of a few years.
Feel free to ask any questions away. i'm not a good storyteller, but I would share my observations .
