Ah right, cheers. That sounds like we got a better dealio. Cannot wait for tomorrow. I haven't looked at anything about this game, on purpose. I want it to all be new. I'm going to get destroyed.

44.99 on the display boxes in HMV Grafton Street for anyone interested.

My copy has shipped, however, so I am not that interested.

Cheers. Saves me the walk going around to Game, Gamestop and Smyths. Kinda had a feeling they would be cheapest. They always seem to be 5 quid cheaper than the other stores. Told my woman that i would "bring" her into work tomorrow (in town) and we would have abit of breakfast before i see her off to work. Little does she know im actually going in to pick up Dark Souls. THE FOOL!!!! MUHUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Sorry my bad. No there is only a Speical edition for each territory.

No body is getting the Physical guide....except maybe the Aussies - their hgaming websites seem less certain.

(Check out EB.au etc)

Thats right.

Kind of surprised I would have to pay an extra tenner in Gamestop cos I didn't buy online - can I buy online and pick up 2m?

Order placed with Gamestop anyway - 40e really is a good price.

Don't need it for the weekend anyway, lots of sport on and still have to kill False King and finish world 5 in Demons Souls.

First Impressions - Excellent! Real open world feel as you explore the first (proper) area. Plenty of hidden passageways in the sprawl of staircases and towers. Reminded me of the battlements of Boletaria castle but with more variety.

Bonfires seem to me to make things a bit more approachable, the respawning enemies are great for levelling anyhow. Not sure what Humanity is all about. I seemed to get a bonus humanity (I glowed at a fairly random moment) but then lost it after I died. Is it the same as a Stone of Ephemeral Eyes?

Picked a Pyromancer. Nicley balanced class. Starting magic spell doesnt scale with Intelligence stat though which means it remains a bit weedy.

Grayditch · 06-10-2011, 22:50

That's annoying that Gamestop ask you to pre-order games with them in-store, and then it's 10 quid cheaper and a day early if you order online. Lesson learned, I guess.

Xyo · 06-10-2011, 22:54

are the graphics in the game supposed to be this bad.. I'm playing it on the ps3 and it looks like resident evil 2

Some fairly ropey textures at times alright. a bit of slow down too. Suppose for an open world with no loading screens there has to be something that suffers.

As I said, just stuck my order in there online. Little worried they won't have any left for me in special edition but I actually haven't seen a vanilla version in shops yet? Anyone?

Either way, unless you need it for 2m, I'd say you should do the same to save a tenner. I bet the price goes up online the second the calendar hits October 7th.

Well you couldn't get a plain jane European Demon's Souls for ages, which was cool. I'd say the first few batches will be Special ones.

Shame about the graphics, but I'm sure it won't matter overall.

noodler · 06-10-2011, 23:18

Does anyone who played Demons Souls think the graphics in Dark Souls are poor?

I thought they were good in the original if not spectacular - they should have put in an install option for the PS3.

what is poor? is it low quality textures etc? is it noticable?

or maybe you got problem with resolution and it makes it look blurry?

Oh I am not speaking from personal experience - just wondering based on what others are saying
