So hard not to click.
I should just stop reading this thread.

I suggest to be strong, I clicked the stream and videos a few times just to check out the animations, lighting, overall level structure / look, other things the people seem to be already complaining about. Was hoping I could just watch for a few minutes while the player was fighting some random trash mobs, but with my luck every time I seemed to catch some boss or cool environment that would have made my jaw drop if I would have just waited to discover and see it myself while playing. Spoiled a few bosses I didn't know about and a couple amazing or interesting looking places. Thankfully it's only like 3 days away so fighting the urge to click shouldn't be too painful a wait. unless you're waiting for PC, then God help you.

I'm trying to get some of my backlog done while I wait for Tuesday to come and it just isn't happening...

Not Dark Souls II/10.

Starting to get anxious, it's Friday and my Amazon order of the Black Armor edition still says "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you by email as soon as we have an estimated delivery date." However the CE lists March 11 as it's date, maybe I should pony up the extra dough and buy that instead....

I wonder why they did this. I don't think I have a problem with that, but I don't quite understand their reasons either.

so you can summon while at the boss door without the need to do the level again? It also gives a massive hp boost depending on your undead level. So you can chunk one if you see a particular hard mob.

Mine says March 13th delivery date with Prime 2 day shipping.

Is anyone else slightly worried about the PC hacking community?

I've had some really interesting encounters representing Blade of the Darkmoon. Indicted in the book of guilty, so many SL20's with 99 in every stat category :/

I mean, I understand the benefits it brings, but I wonder if there's anything in particular about Dark Souls II that made them think it wasn't viable to make you go back to the bonfire in order to restore your humanity.

Or if it is lore related.

I knew I had to finish Bravely Default by Tuesday or I might never get it done. Thankfully I wrapped it up last night! My body is now officially ready.
 
From an earlier interview:

Players will have the choice of ten different gods, and if friends are signed up to the same god, their chances of being connected are increased.

"It's not exactly friend summoning, but you can call up your friends [and say,] 'Let's believe in this god together', and when you try and match up, the probably of matching up with that person will be a little bit higher," Miyazoe said.

So are gaffers going to have a designated God so the chances of grouping together are higher?

Everyone bashes the Dark Souls face creation, but personally I think it lets you make some good looking faces... Most people, unfortunately, will come up with shit and then bash the system.

Hoping those animu heads from Dark Souls 2 screens aren't the new standard.

indeed, I always make the face I want. It's a bit obtuse as a tool, but it worked.

From my original 360 character back in 2011:


from a recent PC character:


I intend to make a nice female face again in DS2. Watch me spend an hour on it before even playing the game. I'm liable to do this.

you didn't get that with demons or dark the OG?

I could understand this if someone had not played Demon's. But like someone else posted earlier about this game reminding them of Demon's, Dark and King's Field? That just seems slightly redundant to me. Demon's hit pretty hard with the King's Field ancestry and nostalgia.

wow. Awesome faces.
 
A copy just showed up for me, according to my email. When I get home I'll see how hefty the embargo is and I can maybe answer some questions as I play.

All you guys watching streams...

Exactly. I don't understand what must be wrong with you dudes that you'd spoil something you've been waiting ages for. All I've seen are like a couple quick glimpses of early areas from more official or otherwise less spoilery videos and I wish I hadn't even seen those.

Is it tough getting to Tuesday? Yes. I am jonesing for some DkS2. I want to see it, play it, talk about it, but I've waited more than two years, what's a few more days? We're adults.

So for us avoiding spoilers, let's talk turkey. What ya gonna BE on tuesday? I took these gifs from a character creation demo video on youtube. It's worth noting that no one starts with any rings, except for the explorer, who has some kind of ring on.

Figured I'd show these one more time for the non-middle of the night crowd, because they're sorta fun for those of us who are unspoilered.

Either going Bandit or Cleric, myself. Or maybe Warrior. I realize Warrior isn't as optimized for min-max, but I'm not sure yet if I want to dabble in some faith stuff, or maybe even some magic stuff, so the Warrior presents a decent compromise for one in such a position.

I don't really give a shit about the PvE anyway. I'm just stacking ammo for when i get my hands on the game and make my PvP build.

The single player will be ez regardless.




EDIT: LMAO KENNETHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I played a male in the original Dark Souls, but was thinking of making a female character this time. I don't remember, though... do stats vary based on the character's sex?
