From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

[Nugs]

I struggled to like Demons and DS way more than I actualy liked them, way to twitchy for my tastes, would like to see turn based combat.

Anyway, back on topic -- I figure they need to announce the PC release sometime this week. Can't imagine they'd wait until after the console release for that.

New pictures of some bosses, their trophy images. Amazing art direction ahead.

Spoiler

Speculation time: I wonder if the masked boss is the real King Vendrick, with the other one being somehow false, like the whole deal with Allant in Demon's Souls.

 

[Jasede]

Humanoid bosses rule.
I love this so much.

 

[Visperas]

Staying clean until PC after console release is gonna be fucking hard...

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

It's easy: Look at screenshots of shitty console version, and then look at the IGN reveal footage that showed the PC version.

Second row, first from the right - that's Onionbro if you ask me.

Hmm, hmm.
Still not released, still not released.

I think at this point, everyone knows that games WILL leak at least a week before release date because of retailers. Curiously enough however, stuff like this didn't happen 5 years ago, I wonder why that was? Maybe videogames just weren't as culturally significant back then, but now, with Youtube LP'ers having to compete with each other in releasing the first walkthroughs of big games, it's gonna happen now, especially considering how cutthroat and competitive that whole Adsense LP community is.

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

The dude in the reddit thread said that it's just a press copy and that he signed NDAs and shit.

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

sure but that fucker did not sign any NDA. massive butthurt on 4chan

Actually I remember some leaks that long ago from retailers. I remember hearing stories of people getting games from retailers early that long ago and I remember a youtube video of someone who got COD MW2 early and traded it in at gamestop before it even came out and he got $23 for it.

Might be major spoilers if true:

Spoiler

top left is Vendrick, the last boss

Reminder that Patches is Gnawing Covenant leader

the mirror knight represents the legendary warrior who defeated the gods, you are required to go on his pilgrimage and then face the mirror knight, a holy warrior dressed in armour made to resemble the legendary warrior. The thorns represent his sacrifice.

the man in the iron mask is the legendary warrior
it's a chosen undead

Jesus Christ. First thing I'll do ingame is get a helmet/mask that covers the face.

 

[Nugs]

I want those graphics in real time, maybe on PS5.

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

Man, DS1 had these completely normal looking male bodies (complete with hair + no smooth six pack). DS2, NOW WITH MANSCAPING THANKS GAYS.

edit sauce:

 

[DragoFireheart]

Now my male characters can look beautiful while I die 100 times because of weeboo gays androids.

Thanks Obama!

 

[DragoFireheart]

All classes have a stat total of 54 accounting for Soul Level.

More stat info.

 

[Castanova]

Gonna take me a bit to remember that Vitality has nothing to do with your HP.

Interesting that the Bandit has such low Adaptability while the Knight has one of the highest. Odd stat in general. Move speed + evasion bonuses... but also defensive bonuses. Doesn't seem like they go hand in hand.
