Afraid too get this on pc as I've been burnt a few times with titles in the last while, very bad frame rates, setting all turned down, just cause 4 for example was almost unplayable, gtx 770, 5-4670, 8 gigs of ram.

I never got it on pc :pac:

It's totally single player? Wait for optimisation patches etc and don't put money down for a sub par experience in that instance regardless of platform.

Nah FromSoft games are among the few games that are best played at launch. Discovering their secrets and nuances along with the rest of the world is one of the unique joys of this studio’s games.

And they always nerf some of the really fun stuff after a few weeks

Retr0gamer · 22-03-2019 1:20am

She's out on PC. **** work tomorrow.

Retr0gamer · 22-03-2019 2:24am

Just played a little past the tutorial area. Fantastic stuff so far. Also running butter smooth on a 1070. Flawless 60 fps.

One crash though when I first got the sword which was weird.

22-03-2019 2:33am

Haven't figured out how to do more damage or get extra health yet. Extra skills aren't cutting it so far

johnny_ultimate · 22-03-2019 4:01am

Running great on PC, smooth 60 FPS on a 970 so definitely the way to go if you have the option.

Super challenging so far even by From standards. It's Bloodborne on steroids. Almost certainly the best looking game they've met, some truly stunning environments and art direction.

Liam9653 · 22-03-2019 5:11am

This game and idea are beautiful. It’s just impossible to expect another great studio from this one, I think it is already a masterpiece. Today I will install it and test it in action, I was very much waiting for it to be released

22-03-2019 8:51am

Playing on PC. Started earlier before work. Those smooth buttery framerates.

22-03-2019 9:02am

So the upgrades are simply tied to the the bosses, and the difficulty is even worse than the previous games. That seems to be the feeling in the reviews.

Loved Bloodbourne, but at least you could grind somewhat if you were struggling until you got powerful enough

Laugh at the notion too that the souls games are not hard games lol

Vicxas · 22-03-2019 9:02am

Christ this is balls hard. I love it.

Need to get my stop panicking and get my deflection timing down. They were 100% right when they tell you to get out of the Dark Souls mindset

There not that hard at all. They punish idiots who charge right in or those that persist with tactics that simply don't work. If you approach it right it's challenging but not difficult.

Again the notion that these games are not difficult is ridiculous imo but each to their own

petes · 22-03-2019 9:09am

Damn work, downloaded and ready to play this evening!

CiDeRmAn · 22-03-2019 9:15am

I've to get to a Smyth's at some point to pick this up today.
Can't wait!
In fairness, it'll probably be my son that'll complete it first!

The tactic of killing one and flying away until they've stopped being aggro is working if a little tedious

Think it was a pre-order store collection special actually.
Looking at the website, it's back at 60 euro.

Kiith · 22-03-2019 9:53am

Hadn't really planned on picking it up, but i have €30 credit on Steam, so figured why not. Reviews make it look excellent.

22-03-2019 10:03am

Anyone try with kb/mouse?

gimli2112 · 22-03-2019 10:06am

It looks amazing but I think the clip I saw was from a PC and my console trained eyes were probably baffled. I'll probably pick it up at some stage. I get what Retro is saying about how the difficulty is presented because I was put off on Bloodborne for years but once I played it, it quickly became one of my favourite games ever.
I found BB a lot more accessible than the Souls games, think the setting just clicked for me.

I look forward to your post this evening saying you bought it :pac:

Think I'm safe enough at the moment, totally consumed by the Division. So much so as I was coming into work today I was thinking I don't have enough time in my life for Battlefield V and my job and one of them probably has to go.

brianregan09 · 22-03-2019 10:18am

60 in Argos aswell

Woden · 22-03-2019 10:45am

Got a reservation in Argos here. Will pick it up if amazon have not delivered by the time I finish work. I have all evenings free this weekend. Looking forward to it.

You should probably quit the job :pac:

Kiith · 22-03-2019 11:00am

Like others, it's hard to justify buying it with the other games i'm playing at the moment.

Still bought it though :pac:

It's better than anything you are playing at the moment.

Can't wait for the posts later

Tempted to get this for €30 via the Gamestop trade in deal.

Finally beat him.

Take half his health by being a sneaky snake. Then die anyway.

Vicxas · 22-03-2019 1:06pm

Wait. The boss after the Shinobi Hunter. He can eat ALL of the dicks in Ireland.

The

? I've put it down there for the day. Pain in the arse killing all the normal guys first every time.

22-03-2019 1:23pm

Looks like some people are going to give up on this early. :pac:

Yeah, but 'apparently' it's not difficult :P

Mickeroo · 22-03-2019 1:29pm

"Not difficult" =/= "not as difficult as some people make out"

(Haven't played Sekiro yet mind, maybe it's a big step up in difficulty on the other souls games)

YouSavedMyLife · 22-03-2019 1:29pm

This is not a Dark Souls game :pac:

My deaths so far is me just trying to get to grips with the combat and testing what works and what doesn't. The circle sidestep is not as effective as the Dark Souls and Bloodborne dodges, the i-frames seem really low on it. Found jumping to be a better GTFO tool.

Mickeroo · 22-03-2019 1:37pm

I know they've ditched the co-op but is there no PvP in this either?

This chap was giving me quite a bit of trouble (

even with the NPC help - seems they couldn't entirely ditch the helping hands

:pac:), so went back to the initial path and took down the ogre easily. Hopefully the

extra gourd and healing power

will make it a touch more manageable.

Finding it pretty demanding so far. It's very Souls-like in terms of items, design etc... but it's also definitely a departure too. Which is welcome. I honestly felt From needed to revitalise itself as Dark Souls 3 felt a bit like a 'greatest hits'. This shares DNA for sure but the pace and combat is a pretty major departure so feel like it's a definite change for the better.

22-03-2019 1:49pm

Its frustrating that you can't just farm souls if you're stuck. Although you can run past enemies almost guilt free.

biggebruv · 22-03-2019 3:10pm

I ordered this yesterday at 2pm from smiths hoping it will arrive today I really didn’t know about this game before yesterday I don’t know how though lol

I platinumed Bloodborne and loved that game so will give this a chance reviews were very strong

nix · 22-03-2019 3:17pm

I cant play THIS and the division 2 also can i??? at the same time..

and apex

I'm only at the start of the game but I find it's missing the weirdness of the Dark Souls games in terms of mechanics. Stuff like the interesting things it does with the online elements. Is there anything like that so far or is it a straight up action game?
