I love/hate how one encounter I thought was a boss and wouldn't respawn is just an average enemy that respawns...

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

Really?
I think my 2070S + 8700k will be enough.

But does it run the ot?

 

[TwinB242]

is the PC version as fucked up as it sounds? Im gonna have to get it on PS5 instead.

PC = better. Some stutters, but stable framerate. I expect they will fix the stutters, or someone in the community will find a fix since its related to dx12.

Hope you are right, that 4 seconds freeze in CohCarnage's stream has left me very worried.

I changed my mind and ended up getting another copy on Steam for my youngest son so we can co-op. I thought about it and even if we only spent 10-15hrs playing together and the rest of the time it was just me in SP, that would be worth it to me. GreenManGaming had it for $50. I should've got it last night when they had a promo code that made it like $46. Oh well. 1hr to go!

If I'm on PC... Will I be able to play with a friend who's on PS4? Any word on crossplay?

No crossplay.

 

[TintoConCasera]

No crossplay.

Ouch. Well I guess they are wise splitting the PC and consoles userbase... But man, it sucks.

I'm 3.5 hours in on Xbox Series X. Really smooth so far. Only thing I've noticed is some grass pop-in when sprinting around on the horse. Hopefully it continues to be a smooth experience.

VRR TV/Display?

I am right on the edge of the fence to buy it or not for XSX.. But my TCL 55 is 2018 and didn't get the VRR update, planning on getting a new one in the next few months.

 

[Paulxo87]

what is everyone doing for their first build? I don't really wanna waste my time on a crappy build first playthru...

I'm playing on the XSX with a LG C1 and everything seems amazing so far. Game looks beautiful and runs great.

I'll start Wretch and go from there. Will probably go STR/FTH, hoping to get some cool buffs like putting my sword on fire and shit like that.

Plans might change tho, that depends on whatever gear I find along the way.

[T-Barbs]

Preordered and retired this evening. I feel excited like a kid on the Christmas night. I wish you all to enjoy the trip!

 

[FrankWza]

My copy came early!

people were asking if the PS5 version comes with dual entitlement like the PS4 and digital version. Can you confirm and post in the DF thread?

 

[Shtef]

Played around 7 hours on series x, I don't have vrr tv but the game is running great. I think there were some fps drops but its a minor thing that i don't really mind.

Same here. About ten hours in and I haven’t noticed anything that makes this unplayable for some people. I don’t even have a VRR capable TV and it’s been mostly smooth for me. Maybe it’s later in the game but so far so good.

 

[TintoConCasera]

How's the game, dudes? Aside from the framerate.

 

[WoodyStare]

It’s fantastic. A perfect blend of Dark Souls and Sekiro in a gorgeous open world. Horse riding/combat also works really well here.

I have been doubting, but in the end I will go for Vagabond, quality build. Probably not the strongest, but almost surely pretty solid and flexible. Starts with high enough intelligence and faith, so it's possible to put some points there if I would change my mind. Also, it has been confirmed that there is a way to respec ingame.

its great

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

is there any way to attack with your left hand while horse riding?

couldn't figure it out earlier today

 

[TintoConCasera]

WoodyStare Shtef thanks for throwing me a bone here dudes, 30 minutes until I can play and the hype is killing me here.

I can check after work. So about an hour from now.

 

[BeforeU]

In before internet - Git Gud? /s honestly, no idea, don’t have the game yet

I found out. Basically ruins you collect you can use to level up at camp fire. God damn respawning enemies so annoying. I am 2hr in and I barely did anything lmao

 

[DeliciousDoc]

Had the game preordered since 2021 when it was cheap to do so. Got an email last night my preorder was cancelled since it's not available in Japan. My steam account isn't Japanese to avoid BS like this but they cancelled my order without asking. Now I need to pay twice as much. Thanks From.

Margit is kicking my ass already

I left after the first try Gonna explore and level up a bit more before going back.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

L1/LB depending on the controller.

 

[demigod]

Never played co-op in a souls game, how exactly does it work? Do both get items and exp?

 

[WoodyStare]

It’s a little confusing initially because it doesn’t happen until the third or fourth site of grace and you have to rest at it in order to start the cutscene that allows you to level up. I didn’t rest at it upon arrival and went ahead for over an hour before going back. Wasn’t sure if I was missing something.

 

[nikos]

I caved.

Either I love the game and forgive the lack of ultrawide support/FPS cap, or I don't like it and request a refund on Steam. Hopefully it's the former. Either way, no reason not to try it.

 

[KingGhidorah]

Stupid GameStop didn’t want to give me the game a day early ….aarrgghh!!! I know they have it in the back room for sure

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Loaded and ready to go. Less than 10 mins!

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Some pretty shit frame rates on PS5, no way a stable 60 and it’s quite annoying. I hope they can patch that at some point or maybe I will stop noticing it after a short time. Only played around 2 -3 hours.

2 minutes. I should be sleeping with a workday ahead but I can't help it.

 

[Fools idol]

is this the best mounted combat ever done? It'a so beautifully smooth and quick.

Download the last bit, but it's still grey on Steam.

 

[ClosBSAS]

its not gonna be that bad, youll see, i just hope you are not one of those people like in the steam forums that tries to run an open world game on a dual core and a 2gb gbpu from 2007.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Download the last bit, but it's still grey on Steam.

Do they have to manually press a button? wtf

ClosBSAS haha no, that's not the case. Hope it runs fine.

 

[Lux R7]

still grey, c'moooooon!

[Shai-Tan]

The Ukraine news spoiled my mood a bit too much to get into this. Will probably wait to play.

 

[lifa-cobex]

 

[TintoConCasera]

Unpacking!

 

[Dream-Knife]

Hmm, can't launch it yet.
