maybe someone who played Demons or Dark around release time can shed some light

Also, I don't really care about the graphics improving over the first game. Good enough for me.

People labeling their stream as DS2 when they're playing DS is tilting imo.

I called my local Best Buy which is doing a midnight release tonight for Titanfall to ask if they're also selling DS2. They said no.

Reviews are showing up; 92 on Metacritic at the moment.

Polygon (9/10):

Quote:

Dark Souls 2 is unflinchingly ambitious in a way that few games are. Yes, the world is massive; yes, there are far more bosses than the last game; yes, I've spent dozens of hours playing, and I'm sure I still haven't seen close to everything.

...
From Software has embraced the challenge they're known for while simultaneously cutting away a lot of the fat — bits of previous games that were more annoying than they were difficult. The result is the strongest Souls game yet, and one that's worth giving a shot even if you were scared away last time.

...
Though the setup is similar, Drangleic surpasses the first game's land of Lordran in every way. In addition to being larger and more varied, the environments in Dark Souls 2 succeed more often at telling a story. Each zone has its own lore that unfolds as you explore it, usually without the help of cutscenes or even dialogue.

I get off work at 7am but Gamestop (where i preordered) doesn't open until 10am. I'm gonna be like a kid trying to sleep on Christmas morning.

Agree with everything goofy said about neogaf. Reddit was the perfect comparison.

I was planning on getting the PC version but I'm thinking I might just double dip because I can't ****ing wait.

been using Amazon for 10 years, this is the first time they failed me

Pre-ordered in September but no game day release?
Hopefully it arrives later today. Otherwise I have to wait until tomorrow.

I stopped in at Best Buy and they had 4 on pre reserve, but one guy who stopped in literally 10 minutes before I did was told he had to get his copy through the .com that he ordered it, so I was able to buy his copy there

. I'm probably waiting for Thursday for when the wife goes out of town Thursday-Sunday to bust it out and get down to business. No spoilers on here please without using the spoiler button!

Assume keeping any kind of in-game discussion is spoilers for a while? Involving early game obv.

btw, can someone make a judgement call on what I should do?

a.) finish Dark Souls (I'm pretty close to the end I think, my progress:

Spoiler:

) and join this party a little later
b.) start DS2 now and get on the hype train with all of you at the same time

I'm thinking bandit as a starting class and then immediately upgrading adaptability for someone who doesn't really care about spells or pyromancy.

Dual wielding doesn't make sense to me. I thought there would be an attack speed bonus but it seems like it's the same as just 1-handing the better weapon. Except now I have no shield. What gives?
