Did this game get an early release, or did my local Frys screw up royally? I purchased this game today; it was just sitting there on the shelves. After getting back home I checked the release date online and every site I visited still had it scheduled for October 4th. My housemate is currently playing it in the other room. :confused:

They screwed up.

do you guys think the 360 online community will be as robust as the ps3 community?

Personally I don't think so. You'd be surprised how large the PS3 online community is just because it's free.

That Giantbomb quicklook, as usual, was like a perfect cross-section of gameplay, minus multiplayer stuff. It was nice that they had somewhat at the helm who had played a lot of the original too. Seeing him piss off the dragon then run like a scared little whore was just special.

Fakeedit link thing http://goo.gl/8Ftpt - clicked on everyone else's, who knows what it does.

Holy balls, I'm rank 10 on the site.

Any idea what that does?

If you're signed in with FB you get a soul meter on the site, a ranking, and some tokens for completing stupid things like a mindless glyph puzzle and liking the FB page, each time someone clicks the referral link your personal soul gauge fills up, supposedly, mine doesn't appear to be increasing but my rank bumped up by 300 or so since I posted mine.

Yeah, I'm somehow in the top 20. Thanks goons?

Updated Goon Master Referral ClickList for pages 12-26. Remember, if you want on the list, let's all take the effort to click everyone else's link!

Thanks for doing this. It prevents more reposting, I think.

Speculation is that the top five people will get twelve inch pewter statues that Namco commissioned of different Dark Souls stuff. But nobody really knows.

Please add this to the bottom of that click queue, Mr. Click Queue guy.

I've made it up pretty high in that listing, but I'm afraid to play the souls minigame thing anymore in case they're doing anything for the top 20. That drat thing has some brutal swings, but it's also addictive as gently caress....sounds familiar?

Looks like best buy only carries the collectors edition and not the standard? Is it a viable option to just roll into one on tuesday without preordering and pick one up?

That's usually the case with big box stores, yeah.

I called Gamestop asking about the Dark Souls guide, and they told me they're only offering to sell them to people who get the CE version of the game, at $20 a pop. They won't sell the guides separately. Weird.

I was able to "preorder" a guide in-store yesterday without preordering the game from them at all. Calling [typical GameStop] bullshit.

I feel like a big dumb baby because I didn't see a single goddamn leech in all of Blighttown, just lots of mosquitoes, ghouls, poo ogres, and those firebreathing buggy things. I got all of the meaningful loot (except for whatever's in that toxin dart lined chamber full of fire breathing dogs, for... reasons. took out all the blowgun guys though!) and I just didn't see any leeches. What the hell. :psyduck:

Sounds like you just hugged the wall the entire time. Journey out into the swamp, young man!

SO I summon some heavily armored dudes to help me with Four Kings and what do they do? Split up to fight them separately. Thanks guys, I didn't want that 20 humanity anyway.

vvvv True. It is kind of the antithesis of every Demon's/Dark Souls battle.

Has anyone tried the Dark Hand darkwraith shield thing in multi yet? I remember hearing someone say it was lackluster as a shield, but according to the guide the grab attack you can do with L2 steals humanity. I can see it being easy to dodge, is all.

vvvv Ugh, lame.

Just invaded a guy in Anor Londo. I caught him while he was fighting the gargoyle, but I didn't attack I just stood there and watched him fight. He got killed, and then indicted me. :confused:

Maybe you broke his concentration or something.

I'll grant that Duke's Archives can be annoying, but I don't even remotely understand a complaint about the Crystal Cave. There are one or two enemies you need to fight other than the clams, and you can just run past them. You need to run across two (?) completely straight invisible walkways. Unless you have a problem with Seathe, the zone itself is not very hard.

Plus, gently caress yeah three lizards in the same hole.

Awesome! I havent equipped the eagle shield yet so I think I'll base my decision on what looks cooler.

And thanks Jetpack Postman I cant wait to get back from work and take revenge on those things. I laughed when I first saw them, should have known better than to think this game would throw an easy/comedy relief enemy at me.

The baby ones are probably the closest I've seen to a comedy enemy in this game. My wife looked on in horror as I chased down the ones in the forest and cut them down with running Furysword slashes.

Hey man, game's a dick. I'm gonna be a dick right back.
