Not that I'm super-bitter at Funstock or anything (:toughguy: ) , but I actually looked at the FAQ that they dispensed when probably all their customers sent in emails to their site support about the date mix-up on Friday.


My original estimate was at the release minute. I've now upgraded that to 1 minute before so they technically are correct. Also I'm wondering if they got the short end of a contract stick versus Gamesplanet if they don't get to release until the day of.

This is why I decided to pay the extra £5 and just get it on Steam. Normally I just use cd key websites but I didn't want to mess around with DARK SOULS 3.

Classic claymore/shield approach is functional, but the bandit knife and shortbow soul arts make the game a ton of fun and feel like Bloodborne. UGH, DECISIONS.

Yeah I really like the look of the bow from what I've seen. I'd just like to know if it's viable to go with a bow as your primary weapon for the whole game.

I just realised that I'm more excited to see whatever the new hub area/safe space is and what its music is like than for the rest of the game right now.

I think Majula changed me.

I got spoiled for that. I wish I hadn't.

-Xbox360 controller doesn't work. Based on the buttons on-screen, only an Xbox One controller will work, as the buttons referenced on the screen do not exist on the 360 controller.

-Xbox one controller does not automatically work with Windows 10 and its integrated Xbox experience.

-Not downloading DS4Windows because I'd like to play more than 30 minutes at a time before recharging the batteries.

-Of course, every time you turn on your Xbox One, there is an hour long process of updating the system hardware.

-System hardware on the Xbox One must be updated before the controller can be updated.

So, basically I made my character and I've been loving around with my controllers ever since, ready to rip out somebody's underwear through their throat.

360 controller works fine for me :shrug:

I tried the old driver trick for Nvidia cards and my framerate has gone from an unplayable 10-15 to a bearable 25-30. Not great, but I can play at least now!

So after rolling back to some 3-year old drivers, my GTX 570 and i5-2500k can now play the game on high settings at 40fps, whereas before with up to date drivers I was struggling to get 15fps with the lowest settings.

What is this game

This game is a lot harder than Dark Souls 2. I am getting my poo poo pushed in as deprived.

I love it.

Will this run well enough with a gtx680? I've been hearing mixed reviews about the performance.

I have a 570, with some bizarre driver tinkering magic I'm pulling 30-40 fps on medium-high.

I died to Vordt about 5 times earlier, and I decided to summon someone to help.

He promptly left as soon as I stepped through the fog gate, and I ended up beating the buffed Vordt by myself. Go figure.

Is there any reason to save the souls you get from bosses? Also after beating tree guy is there any other exit besides teleporting? Oh and is the small leather shield the best for parrying?

In the previous games you could trade the boss souls for unique weapons, I imagine it's the same here.

You can find at least one bow right at the beginning of Lothric Highwall. Go past the dogs and into the second tower.

Yeah I have the longbow, it's too slow for my liking though.

Regarding the soul starting item, is there anything you can do with it besides popping it? I think I accidentally did so because it's disappeared from my inventory. I hope I've not screwed myself out of a unique weapon or something.

No, it's a common-ish item you can find. You didn't screw up anything.

Oh, OK. That's a relief, and somewhat disappointing. I would have picked something else if I'd known.

How many bosses are in this game? I've only beaten three so far and I'm 11 hours in so it surprises me to hear people say they've completed the game in 20 hours or whatever.
