It has to be good.

Pros and Cons like any game.

 

[Booshka]

Straight Sword transforming into a Giant Blunt Hammer is the obvious choice for me. Longsword and Giant Blunt type weapon is one of my favorite ways to play Souls games.

Knight Sword + Greataxe in Demon's

Longsword + Great Club/Large Club in Dark 1

Sun Sword/Varangian Sword + Great Club in Dark 2

Great combo, don't sleep on it GAF.

 

[rocketskates]

I called both local GameStops in the area and neither are doing midnight launches. Booooo. May try Walmart at midnight.

 

[luka]

i am excited for this videogame

guys

 

[amstradcpc]

Depends, I would guess it is at least very detailed then.

At least it will have several words .

 

[Mazre]

So much hype, I predict that time will stop tomorrow at work as the end of the day approaches.

 

[PS5]

VanOrd will definitely like it.

Yeah, this is what I'll likely end up with once I get it. Seems so badass.

[Omnistalgic]

Dat lighting!

Goodgoogamooga

 

[convo]

Referring to being able to carry them.

Hmm, i think there is at least one that requires high strength.

 

[J-Skee]

Can't believe we're mere hours from Project Beast's release. It was a pleasure being on the hype train with the GAF. Now let's go hunt some beasts.

 

[bananafactory]

is this good or bad

I can't imagine someone spending that much time and effort on a review of a game they did not like.

Has to be good.

 

[AtomicSymphonic]

RIP in peace other OT. I salute you.

I cannot help but wheeze with laughter while looking at this! >.<

This is beyond excellent. Seems like yet another too-hard-to-beat-but-so-good-I-can't-stop-playing game!

Seems like here on NeoGAF there is a never ending appetite for middle ages fantasy stories... hmm...

 

[GarciaHotspur]

is this good or bad

Doesn't sound good but it will be interesting to read his opinion

Or maybe it's the best game ever and he will explain why lol

 

[Ikuu]

Not sure why some of you are worried about the reviews being negative.

 

[Cream]

Where all my female pimp caners at?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

[GenericBadGuy]

is this good or bad

Well from what I take from that he has a lot to gush about. I don't think you would write your longest review ever about a game you don't like.

 

[ironcreed]

is this good or bad

Don't know about you, but I have a good feeling about it.

 

[Brian_FETO]

That sawblade decapitation mode tho

I want to try out different weapons but the sawblade is just so cooooooool

 

[VinFTW]

This game is getting perfect scores. Calling it now.

[super-famicom]

This game is getting perfect scores. Calling it now.

No game is perfect, though.

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Worthless piece of shit as start origin and pimp cane as redeemer weapon.

 

[Deified Data]

This game is getting perfect scores. Calling it now.

No doubt it'll get a few. I doubt it'll get perfect 10's across the board, but I'd shit my pants if it did.

 

[Coconut]

i think everyone can invade you everywhere.

Oh MY!

 

[Revolutionary]

I can't see this scoring any worse than the other Souls games. It's excellent.

Edit: GS will give it a 10

 

[def sim]

The cleaver looks like a giant straight razor and I think that's cool. I'll start with that.

 

[robo_qwop]

Does the cane scale with str or skill?

Skill

Thanks. You guys think a skill build will prevent you from using most of the other weapons? They seem str based, at least superficially.

 

[F0rneus]

Could...could you somehow include by faceless avatar?

Faceless? You're my face now.

 

[Lunar15]

This game is getting perfect scores. Calling it now.

I'm not sure about this. That would imply that it's better than its predecessors, which I can't be too certain all reviewers would agree with.

 

[MaxBill1908]

What is the purpose of bloodtinge and arcane?

Edit: I'm new to this kind of game and I want to find the best character class for me.

 

[Conezays]

For those who keep asking about starting stats and weapons, I came across this simple breakdown of the starting options, along with advice for newcomers.

Here you go.

Awesome, thanks. Should probably be added to first post

 

[Patapwn]

No game is perfect, though.

Bloodborne isn't a game, it's a way of life

 

[Hoo-doo]

I'm not sure about this. That would imply that it's better than its predecessors, which I can't be too sure all reviewers would agree with.

What to you, stands out as being worse than it's predecessors?

 

[eot]

Review scores won't mean much, good or bad. I mean, on Metacritic it's DkS2 > DkS = DeS. I want to hear impressions from players not reviewers.

 

[luka]

i was leaning toward the cane, but i always ended up eventually gravitating towards dex weapons for all of my souls characters

i think this time i'm gonna berserk it up

GATTSU

 

[todahawk]

Hmm should I spoiler my post for those on a blackout? I'll go ahead and do that. Can you spoiler what you quoted?

Sure will.
FWIW I didn't think that was spoilerish, I just didn't have any clue of what any of it meant.

 

[Aeana]

This game is getting perfect scores. Calling it now.

If it doesn't, I don't want to see you guys throwing fits and embarrassing yourselves. Please.

 

[Facism]

ha can't cancel my preorder until tomorrow when i have to call their customer service. What year is it again?

See what happens tomorrow and if i can go US digital after.

If it doesn't, I don't want to see you guys throwing fits and embarrassing yourselves. Please.

Isn't this what usually happens?

 

[Greenymac]

First for me and Messiek as well, we got you dude.

Btw....

I totally cheese one of the bosses I feel so dirty now.... I didn't earn it guys I didn't earn it!

Seems to be plenty of Destiny refugees here. Im sure we will be able to help each other out!

 

[super-famicom]

What is the purpose of bloodtinge and arcane?

Firearms scale with bloodtinge, and items like firebombs scale with arcane. And some weapons might have scaling/requirements with those stats.

 

[addyb]

Are there red phantoms in this?

 

[DustyVonEric]

Gaf, I'm hearing different things about how invasions work.

Can worlds only be invaded if the host has summoned help for co-op?

 

[Orthogonal]

Review scores won't mean much, good or bad. I mean, on Metacritic it's DkS2 > DkS = DeS. I want to hear impressions from players not reviewers.

This game feeds off the community. Review Scores will still be indicative of relative quality since all Souls games are ~90, but it will sell regardless.

 

[SexyFish]

If it doesn't, I don't want to see you guys throwing fits and embarrassing yourselves. Please.

Then it might be best not to look here or the review thread tonight.

 

[GenericBadGuy]

Looking forward to lore discussion as much as game mechanics discussion. I love the way From builds their worlds.

 

[Matriox]

No game is perfect, though.

Everyone knows scores are based on the quantity of OT's the game gets before release.

Spoiler

there will be 11

 

[bananafactory]

If it doesn't, I don't want to see you guys throwing fits and embarrassing yourselves. Please.

You KNOW that's what is going to happen though
