[Chex]

[QUOTE=For No Reason;49991807]so where can i get this soundtrack?[/QUOTE]

Comes with certain editions of the game. Or on youtube, since the Japanese version is out and people are uploading the songs already.

[Archangel125]

Some people (Like Oro and some Japanese players) are saying that parry windows have changed since the press demos and network tests; that parrying has a delayed window now like Dark Souls 2 did. God, please let it not be so...

They're half right. From Peeve's stream it looks like SOME parry windows are slightly delayed, mainly medium shields. The weapon art of the Uchi, for example, is not like this. I've yet to see any of the other parries, such as parrying shields or a parrying dagger, but I'm hoping they're instant as well.

Pretty salty right now tbh.

Game is done to the point where they can give out codes to people, they are just sticking to the release date.

[lintz]

well i hope GAME breaks street date and sends out early copies

I'm pretty ticked off about this. If Medium shield parries have a reasonable amount of parry frames, even if delayed, I'm not going to be too salty. If they're like Dark Souls 2, fuck it. The one aspect of the game I was most excited for is absolutely ruined for me.

It's one thing to give a few press people a download code, but another thing entirely to get physical copies shipped worldwide ahead of schedule. It's hardly unusual for a game's actual content to be finished this close to launch.

It needed like 3 notes to be recognized.

God-DAMN

About parries, some Katana arts spoilers but [sp]A Katana I found earlygame can parry with one of its arts, and the window for it is fucking huge.[/sp]

General parrying feels more like it has the delay as it does in DS2 though, which sucks

[CrossNgen]

I hope my gtx 770 will be able to run it and this jump in requirements isn't indicative for a poorly optimized port

[dirty_ape]

Straight from the trailer but holy shit, I just love everything about this clip.

[UntouchedShadow]

I wanted to practice my parrying in Souls 3 because I was always garbage at parrying, but hearing that that strange delay from Souls 2 is back, I feel slightly discouraged now. Eh...just another thing to adapt to I suppose.

Well either way, I'm outta here. I've been feeling the risk of spoilers crawling up my back all day, so it's time to hop off before I regret seeing things I don't want to see. Have fun those of you who are already playing.

[Curls]

[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;49991221]Totalbiscuit is also streaming it right now.

Also, someone asked why the minimum requirements were ramped up so much from the last games. It's cause DS3 is "next gen only". Since they didn't do a PS3/Xbox 360 version, they were allowed to go bigger without worrying about old hardware requirements.[/QUOTE]

thank god

stop making games for the older consoles please :v:

have a link though? people are uploading it from the console versions at 60 fps calling it "60 fps" and lying blatantly because they don't know what a frame is.

[QUOTE=CrossNgen;49992170]I hope my gtx 770 will be able to run it and this jump in requirements isn't indicative for a poorly optimized port[/QUOTE]

Apparently the 770 can run it maxed out at 60fps

[url]https://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1199233[/url]

"GTX 770 enough for 60fps in highest settings".

[The Rizzler]

Beat the first boss first try (I thought they increased the difficulty? Still, he put up a good fight and you'd want a tutorial boss to be reasonable anyway) but got killed by (early game spoilers)[sp]The Master. Got him second try thanks to battle axe war cry charge attack, it staggers him and does decent damage.[/sp]

edit: wow I'm surprised how often I'm dying actually. The game is definitely more difficult now that you only start with 3 estus and are low level etc.

Well that make me feel better! I haven't bought the game yet though, I'll probably buy it right before launch and if it wont work well I'll just refund and buy it for my PS4

[Archangel125]

Thought I'd share some non-spoilery hitbox porn to dull the irritation of delayed parries in Souls 3. This wouldn't have happened in Dark Souls 2.

that cape

[Lewdis]

Weapon Arts are a fucking amazing addition honestly.

[Zeos]

So, without spoilers, are a lot of the little things like level geometry hitboxes, enemy tracking and placement better than DS2?

[Curls]

any info available on unarmed / fisticuffs and whips? daggers?

I hope that they are as good as they are in ds2, with whips MAYBE getting a /SLIGHT/ nerf

Yes, yes, yes and yes.

Way better, axes have swing over my head and I've simply sidestepped some sword attacks where I know in DS2 I would've been hit. Eeeh enemy placement is a bit hit and miss, it done really well but then there's placement like an enemy waiting for you to come down a ladder and hitting you when dismounting and the generic enemy hidden behind destructible terrain.

So it's got that Miyazaki sheen? and we have 2 big expansions to look forward to after he just showed how good he can do with DLC still with the Bloodborne expansion. hot damn I'm excited

[Zeos]

Yesssss, I'm so glad, enemies just kinda hitting you with no real way to dodge well because they're fucking magic was one of the worst parts of DS2

[Lewdis]

For the most part you do see enemies coming at you and the big threats are always heard or seen before they are ramming your ass which is nice. They got that spooky slow walk thing goin on that I love.

[Marzipas]

so i thought i couldn't run ds1 on my laptop but i tried it again and it turned out the last time i played it i had accidentally forced it to run on integrated graphics

i guess i can finally finish it before ds3 now, assuming my laptop can run it
