From Software Dark Souls 3

Will there be full length animated movie ?

 

[Doktor Best]

I'll be honest this looked pretty shitty. But who cares if the game is good.

distortion2 is already doing all-bosses speed runs, haha

His specialty is the trailer.

 

[Mozg]

Boss we gonna shoot marketing money out of a cannon in hollywood like tshirts at a football game

aight

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

better trailer than anything Namco released.

Anyway retards at Bandai are now asking streamers and e-celebs to not show anymore of footage till 11.04(game is constantly in top5 viewed games on Twitch) Thats the biggest fuck up on release i have seen for a long time. No wonder From cant wait to fulfill contract with Namco with that last game and move the fuck on.

This guy is uploading movesets for weapons, pretty much no PvE spoilers: https://www.youtube.com/user/ZOMBIEHEADZoCOM/videos

The biggest fuck up on release? Seriously? You think it's a bigger fuck up than, say, Arkham Knight which was pulled from Steam for a while on account of it being practically non-functional?

This is a non-issue. Frankly, I don't even know what the problem is. They probably don't give a shit either and are just trying to unruffle some fanboy feathers.

People are freaking out because their precious april 11 gameplay won't be the first ever in the world, and there will be people who already beat the game by then. People are also upset that the community's sense of unity and discovery will be ruined forever. Some are freaking out saying they're running into spoilers everywhere.

I certainly haven't run into any spoilers yet (the ones in this thread I either skipped or were pretty minor) and I don't really care that other people played it first, but some people are seriously butthurt about this whole thing. I personally don't give much of a shit either.

And yeah, to call this one of the largest ever fuck ups in gaming like some people actually seem to believe is ignoring some major bullshit from ubisoft and WB last year.

 

[Murk]

Anyone "freaking out" over this should just go quaff the bottle of blue liquid under their sink.

BUT WHAT IS THE LORE IMPLICATIONS

 

[deuxhero]

The Japanese version was out days ago. Why Namco Bandai decided to delay the western release I have no idea.

Bro i am not talking about state in which game was released(unplayable like AK) but how they handled actual release. Namco hoped for constant hype machine for 3 fucking weeks thanks to streamers playing the game earlier but they fucked up. No one gives a fuck about "showing only first 1/3" of the game anymore, fuckton of people bought japan xbone version since you can play it in english and those are lost sales for Namco cause From self publish in Japan. Whats more there are strong hints that pvp is unbalanced as fuck, spells and miracles are broken, bosses are trivialized with builds/strategies by people that finished game 5 times over last week and game is 20 hours short. Thats not good word of mouth marketing. If you let people see the whole fucking game before they can even buy it some might not like the glaring issues/bugs on release and wait and not buy it on release. If they were not concerned with those issues why would they backtrack from it? Cause some redditors got their jimmies rustled?

FFS marketing is easy in video games. Release some gameplay trailer, than full of action cgi trailer for consoletards, let Total Biscuit talk about the game for 1 hour and than release game even in broken as fuck state and people will still buy it like Arkham Knight or AC:Unity.

tl:dr Namco cant into marketing for shit

If the translation stuff had to be 100% done on time the game could not have been released in this fiscal year (which ends today), making the numbers look bad.

They both have 9 you knucklehead, and lets be honest, the covenant system fucking blows. Not only are they horribly balanced [Ie Bell Keepers giving you incredibly important T chunks in DS2 while Reds in DS2 give you shit] and poorly designed [Nobody plays blue sentinels in DS2, nobody plays Dragons/WoW/Princess in DS1, and worst of all there were no Orbs in DS2] there's no reason to have 9 since all you really have mechanically is coop covenant, and player-killer covenant. From really needed some new ideas for multiplayer, but it's too late now.

Last thing DS needs is proper multi. They should go full larping instead and completely cut faggots who play coop or pvp and instead focus on weird stuff like yellowhead in Deamon's or Nito conv in DS1. And if you play nakid for more skilllz you should auto land in retardo land with all kool kids like that.

edit: it always ammuses me when faggots don't like gang in forest covenant. THAT IS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF THAT COVENANT YOU GANG SHIT UP TO STOP PEOPLE FROM REACHING SIF.

Last thing i want when i play against forest covenant is to fight some faggots who play white knights and want duels.

 

[Grimlorn]

Those battle arts look interesting. I had no idea about them until now. Like quickstep with the axe. Also that katana with the parry strike is interesting as well. Lot a weeaboos are going to like that, but it might make PVP more interesting and more dynamic as well.

 

[Invictus]

Stupid Bamco they should have put a clause they streamers coukd get the game before the western release but only be allowed to upload their shit after April 12th, now the butthurt is sky high (rightfully so) because the game has been blown wide open and those who dont want to know anything about the game have to literaly avoid youtube and most social media to escape

 

[toro]

 

[Invictus]

Holy fuck!
Hope they are doing this to get rid of the micro stutter that so many gamers have reported, that shit makes somewhat steady 30fps feel like 20, it happened in Bloodborne and it was annoying as hell

 

[Raghar]

This would cause even larger butthurt.

 

[praetor]

even knowing it was a joke, i wouldn't put it past them to pull off something like that

 

[Jasede]

So, anyone here preorder? I don't usually but I am tempted. My French store of choices offers 20% off.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Its a bit overpriced here unfortunately so I'll have to wait some sales or shady deals.

https://fr.gamesplanet.com/game/dark-souls-iii-steam-key--2978-1

This is the place I will get it from. The store is legit and completely legal - and quite cheap, even for brand new releases! And they're French so you know you can trust them. 20% isn't bad for brand new. (Though if you wait for release you can probably get it for 50% off with some Russian key.)

 

[Cowboy Moment]

That's why it's a good joke. The delay is short enough just to be almost believable as well.

 

[polo]

I preordered at a really good price at a local steam reseller or something ('round 30 dorra), so yeah. Now its like 50 in the same site. No regrets, at least until i realize the game is shit.
