Since this is the real OT, I'll ask again:

What gender will your Hunter be, and what will you name him/her?

I'm making a female Hunter and naming her Helvetica. I used this name for previous Souls characters.

What starting Origin will you choose?

I'm going with a Skill (the new Dex) build, so I'm going with

Professional

, which has the highest starting Skill.

A: Male hunter, naming Mega Huntman or I don't know, I'm not good with names.

B: Exactly as you, I'm all for skill combat!

Okay after Amazon changed my arrival date to Wednesday I sent them a bitchy email and now it's coming tomorrow GUARANTEED according to the robot or whatever replied to me.

Voror · Mar 23, 2015

Is there a list or outline on which weapons will focus on which stats based on the ones we know? Like is Cleaver a Strength based weapon where I'd want to focus on that? I'd presume the Hammer is like that.

Persona7 · Mar 23, 2015

I hope I feel like playing this tonight.

Oh, we will be using that one for our small group but the one for the thread is over the 8 letter limit at the moment. Dhruv is suggesting some that meet the criteria.

Northeastmonk · Mar 23, 2015

In a way we're waiting on someone to say something they got paid to do. Lots of people paid for the game. There is some logical thinking in where you might stand if you bought it.

I'm not going to pay attention. It's going to be a mess comparing detail to detail. I agree, act civil.

Fireflu · Mar 23, 2015

I hope all starter weapons are attainable in the game later on.

Will probably use the Saw Cleaver for starters but would love to play around with the Axe and Cane.

However this is all redundant for as soon as I find the Scythe that is all I will ever use! (the Great Scythe served me so well in Dark Souls, I must pay it homage in BB)

Also that KLK gif above reminded me how much I would LOVE a scissors weapon in this game, with its alternate function being the ability to remove and duel wield each scissor blade separately.
Would fit so well within the games setting.

I don't think it's shit, but I think bloodtinge sounds very questionable since it influences gun damage, which is apparently of less consequence. Guns are utility -- for parrying -- and have limited ammo, so who cares what the damage is.. right?

Yes and Dark Souls. It's basically his kind of game.

True! Gamespot's GOTY 2009 was Demon's Souls overall.

Dex builds were pretty good in Dark Souls. Uchigatana/Baller Swag Sword/Great Scythe were great. I imagine Skill builds will be fine here.

One of the GAFfers on my PSN list is doing that. Says there's a good weapon for those stats.

Yeah, Noble Scion looks pretty good for that. I am leaning going that way to kick it off, but I like the early vitality boost of Lone Survivor as well.

gunslikewhoa said:
Some areas will have a bell maiden (NPC). She can summon invaders.

Yeah, I figured like in the OP.

I read that the player summoned the bell maiden when he summoned help. So it looks like some areas will have a bell maiden anyways, whether people summon or not.

Reviewers aren't everything, but it certainly feels good to love a universally loved game.

Frillen · Mar 23, 2015

So if I want a fast paced character I should focus on Skill? But should I also put some levels on Strength?

LookAtMeGo · Mar 23, 2015

I think for a newb like me, I should go with the weapon with the longest reach to maximize my chances of evading attacks successfully.

So the cane?

It's nice to want things... I was on another site and some guy did a mini-review after 10 hours of play. Really liked it and said it was an 8.5 so far. He got absolutely destroyed by post after post for pointing out anything as a "flaw". So, yeah, it'll likely get silly here for awhile but hopefully people act like adults...

I know cleaver scales with a D in strength and E in dex. The best starting dex weapon is the can with a C I believe.

expect anything. IGN gave alien isolation, my GOTY 2014, a 5.9. So - honestly, who even cares. I know what I like, the opinions of people who play games as quickly as possible whether they want to or not are probabyl the least relevant to me of anyone out there.

Aeana · Mar 23, 2015

Just so we're clear, since people are struggling with this, I'm issuing a warning well ahead of time that if you act like a child in response to review scores for this game, whatever they end up being, you get to miss the game's launch on this forum. We're tired of the way people behave in review threads.

Frillen said:

You need as much strength as needed to wield the Skill scaling weapon of your choice. If a weapon has a 16STR/22SKILL requirement, then you need 16STR.
