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!!!!

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'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.

It's really loving good but they're apples and oranges tbqh.

It's hilarious how the depth of criticism varies by games. "fallout 4 well it's a Bethesda fallout game kinda janky but fun 8/10" "dark souls 3 great but the sound design is lacking in this one segment of this one zone and I dropped four frames 8/10"

I was doing some invading/summoning in BB last weekend and was struck by the fact that the game cuts to black when you do online stuff. Not a very common technique in video games

One of my very favorite parts about bb. That WHOOSH as it cuts to black. Feels like you're really getting sucked off into a different world

“I placed giant-sized women in the world since I am attracted by motherhood and 'huge women' as an expression of generous motherhood,” says Miyazaki. “Also, one of my favourite Japanese cartoons is 'Yasuragi no Yakata' written by the famous Fujiko Fujio. A huge woman appears for a little in that scary story. When it comes to firekeepers, I assume that there is a kind of illusion for women in my mind.” You ain't seen nothing yet. “Finding a reason why I am attracted by huge women would be possible but I would not like to do it so far.”

My suggestion is to take the tutorial zone seriously. I raced through it because all the developer messages were in moon language by there's lots of subtle changes that have a big impact on how you play and you will have a much better time if you get a feel for them right away

Unexpected Raw Anime

I hope they fixed it , there was a late-ish area in the first Japanese version that was almost unplayable when A Thing was happening. Also lol at all that bullshit about how consoles are 30 fps because it's the "optimal framerate for action games" there's no way the ps4 could handle this game at 60
