Yesterday I stopped in to buy a new microwave at Best Buy after ours crapped out. This is where I preordered DS3 so I figured I would ask if any of the video game guys have any "pull" and can let me pick up the game then vs Tuesday since I was 100% sure they got it in their stock over the weekend. The guy went back to check and all the pre order games were still taped together with most likely no sku assigned to them yet...pfffft. Oh well, 1 more day.

Yeah pretty much all stores that will be selling them Tuesday have had them in stock for at least the last few days. Kind of infuriating.

I'm trying to be as spoiler free as possible so I really don't care when I start playing. I really don't need to play at the very first moment the servers are available. I don't care if that's a day or two later.

Yea I'd agree with that - it's not anything internet-content-related that I meant will be brutal. It's just knowing the Dark Souls 3 is out and about and available and I'm just NOT playing it

Hasn't been a problem in previous DS threads but make sure you're spoiling specific gameplay/area related stuff for the first few weeks or so at least plz.

Serious issues with crashing on PC. Apparently, setting lighting to low is working for a lot of people for now.

Downloading now before I have to go to work but not sure if my controller will work or not as it's been having issues.

Beat the first boss. So far combat seems a lot more Bloodborne than Dark Souls 2, which I much prefer.

Tough early enemy:
Spoiler:
The crystal lizard got me to back down. It was doing half of my health with every attack that connected and I wasn't doing anything much to it. I'm guessing it's strong against slashing attacks, such as those from my sellsword twinblades. I'll go back once I've found some upgrade materials or a thrusting weapon.


First boss:
Spoiler:
The first phase was easy, standard Soulsborne humanoid boss combat. Stick close, wait for an attack, punish. Of course there was a transformation. After that it was pretty difficult to get a feel for his attacks, and I almost ran out of health before he did.

PC servers have been down all day too, but I don't really like all the soap stone spam anyways, my OCD makes me click every one. PC performance has been decent, not as smooth as DkS2, but mostly consistent 60 fps with all options maxed on a 970 and load times are short even from a HDD. Looks a lot like Bloodborne.

I killed it on my first try...barely, down to almost no health and no estus flasks left Probably helped that I picked knight and started off w/ decent equipment

On PS4 you click the l-stick while running, probably the same?

re: equip load (spoilering because I cheated and looked up #s online)

Spoiler:
Knight starts out at like 60% equip load or something, after I took most equipment off to get under 30 (lowest tier) combat felt soooooo much better.

Went Herald. Guy just looks like too awesome. And i liked his 2 sentence backstory.

Kept dying to what i assumed was a miniboss. Combat is very good and fair imo. There was a bonfire behind the miniboss. Miniboss guy respawned. Now sneaking around trying not to alert miniboss guy.

P.S. Miniboss guy has beautiful armor. Pretty game.

Wish I took the week off. Woke up at midnight and played for a few hours but that's not enough.

Through two bosses. Went warrior as I almost always tank through my first Souls' play throughs.

Had to over level (maybe?) quite a bit already. The standard knights with spears and shields move set were giving me hell for some reason.
