My other thread is riddled with spoilers. This is a safe zone for everyone avoiding spoilers to talk about their game in progress :D

I originally planned to do most progress before first death contest, but this game doesn't have a first death achievement (unless they add one in the day 1 international patch) and its sorta tough to just go on the honor system. That being said, I think it would be fun to compile a list of everyone's first death! Please tell us where you died along with a screenshot of your YOU DIED screen (if you can) and I'll keep it up to date below.

:siren: PLEASE DON'T SPOIL poo poo OR POST UNSOLICITED ADVICE. IF SOMEONE ASKS FOR ADVICE, BE AS VAGUE AS POSSIBLE THANKS :siren:

IT'S OUT!!!!

Let's get hype. 50ish more hours

Nobody is going to lie about their first death on this forum. Everyone who posts here is a good person

I won't be doing the push up challenge because Ill be going to the gym before each absurdly long sesh. The feeling of crashing on your couch with sore muscles + everything done for the day and playing a gam is insanely good.

Definitely down for sharing first death though. Hopefully not a lovely fall.

I've played the first four hours or so several times and I have predictions for where most of the regular souls posters here will die :P

I had surgery and then couldn't work out for about 7 months and only started again like a week ago and I couldn't even do a sit up so I'm going to use the Dark Souls III system to start my physical rehabilitation

I'm excited about this game. But I think it's going to take an act of God to make me like it more than Bloodborne.

notable new control stuff:
-hold the down button to auto select your estus flask
-you can run in any direction while locked on
-press r3 in the equip menu to hide the main panel. good for checking out your fashion while youre changing equipment
-1handed jumping attacks now have a really fast r1 attack you can do at the end

Run in any direction while locked on is a game changer

It's cool being so completely insane about a series and sinking quadruple digit hours into it so you can read a sentence like "now you can run in any direction while locked on" and nearly spilling a drink out of excitement

I would get nervous about a new souls game taking up all my time since I already play demons/dark/Bloodborne like once a month anyway, but I'm just going to pretend this is the real dark souls II and forget that game ever existed.

Bloodborne was better because there were no drops for anything so you could always get exactly what you wanted in any file without worrying about RNG :smugbird:
