You fucking hipster, Mr Dave.

Gah. Do I get this? I liked DS a lot, got bored of DS2, and really didn't like Bloodborne.
So far (which is admittedly not very far), it does feel very dark soulsy. Plus, it teaches you how to kick.

See?
Although the tutorial does put a warning telling you to turn back on an optional path that leads to a certain amount of pain. Which is a bit more in your face than the warnings tend to be.

I was into dark souls 3 weeks before anyone else.

The Dark Souls tutorial had a bit explaining how to do a move that you can't actually do if you start the game as a dex build. Which is nice.

It's almost as if I'm referencing that...
Not that I tried to kick to see if it actually worked. (On a pyromancer build)
This is absolutely brutal.
Well, reached the second boss. It was a rather tough fight to get this far. Reminds me of playing the first Dark Souls in that regard.
The difference being, of course, that I have completed Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Demon Souls and Bloodborne. (And also played Lords of the fallen, before I stopped playing it for shitness reasons) So I fear quite what a newcomer would make of it.
Of course, there were more than a few deaths caused by the roll button being a different button from what I expected (And one death caused by the gesture menu insisting on being in the way, and yeah, the cancel button didn't do what I expected there either. (Apparently pointing at the man with a big sword does not stop him from applying that sword to your face. Who knew)
A few problems that need to be sorted out too. Having nearly beaten a man who was causing me some problems, I rolled into a wall. Ad then couldn't get out and he smacked me to the deaths. Fortunately, Karma had its way and next time he bugged out and just remained still doing nothing while I returned the deathly favour.

It does work on my build,you'll be pleased to know . In honour of you, I've been kicking bad mens before Killing them (and not at all to do with hitting the wrong button for a jumping attack, honest)
Second boss is down. Took a few more attempts for this one. There was much wooting among the 8 people watching me.
Unsurprisingly, given how long it's been out, there aren't that many useful signs on the ground. (and also, so far, no deliberately malicious ones. Culture difference?)

I watched Mr Dave play some of this on Saturday. I couldn't get my Twitch account to log in so I couldn't leave him abuse though.

About the time I was failing to kill a tree, I guess?
Next time, that tree is mine.

Yes, it was very funny watching you fail at that. Get arboreal.
The final attempt was annoying. I nearly had it but was rushing as I needed to leave, then pressed the wrong roll button again.
Biggest disappointment so far: Horse does not appear to be on the list of body parts. (I believe there's something similar, which they probably translated to horse - 乗騎, which seems to translate as mount from the usage I've seen, but it's not in any dictionary that I've tried (even the japanese ones). And certainly not horsey enough for my liking)
This means I've had to go around leaving messages informing people that buttocks are necessary.
So far, I have no up ratings on these comments.

Man, only one more day of smugness.
A word of advice w.r.t builds...
If, like me, you go for a pyromancer, don't expect to go for a big bashy man with extra bonus flames, like you could in dark souls 1. Powerful pyromancy does require more than a glove now.
This has caused me to be fairly underlevelled for the whole game so far.

Im going to try my best to not do my usual thing of going for a pyromacer build morphing over to medium weight sorcerer / hexer with long reached weapon.
Does the new weapon style/stance thingy make much difference, Mr Dave?

Honestly, I've forgotten it's there for the most part as I usually have a shield ready instead, and the arts on the weapons I use aren't the greatest. (reduce damage? Pffft.) the FP generally gets used for pyromancy if anything (flamey halberd joy).
Having said that, I don't know what the art is on my new smashy club. And given how long it can take to read what each skill is, I only know the weapons I use, so there may be all kinds of awesome that I'm missing.
First thing I'm doing tomorrow: picking up an English copy with English speaking and where X is X not O.
I could swap the buttons if I wanted to - the controller is configurable in the ps4 system menu. And for the most part, my knowledge of Japanese has been sufficient. (And gives the game a quite different atmosphere.)
Time to first death - around 15 minutes - time to next one - about 2 minutes , and then another 2 minutes , etc etc - must have died about 15 times to do the first 'thing'

Nope - I saw the sign that said 'stay away' - saw it in the distance - ran in and grabbed the item nearby and ran away like a coward this was the 'knight'
An hour and 20 minutes or so of failing - I made it to the shrine
