Dark Souls II on steam

You can get the sound track later though.

We dont really know how effective those early weapons would be. Or that you can start equipping them right from the start (maybe they have high stat requirement).

If thats the case, all is good. Otherwise yeah, this shit is fucked up.

The weapons are purely cosmetic, iirc

Actually, the preorder weapons are all the starter class weapons. None of them are particularly powerful until you upgrade them, so it's not breaking progression, it's merely early move-set/aesthetic variety.

I think it's hype. DS is nothing but hipster edgy superhard any more, it has a status of being "sooo hard" so it's praised, even if the people praising it never played it, just to show off.

That should be the case everytime. Preorder things should be total cosmetic junk, so that late buyers dont feel left out.

Trustworthy site? I am unfamiliar.

Edit: Nvm, looks like US buyers are not supported anyway.

Story of my life

i.e. I'm waiting for GFWL shutdown.

the only preorder worth it is metal box Black Armor Edition imo

Honestly I'd wait. The summer sale will hit 2-3 months after the game releases and it'll hit a 25%-50% off sale during the summer sale. You'll be able to save enough money to buy another game during that time so if I were you I'd wait. There are tons of games that you can play that will take up your time until the summer sale.

Dark Souls 2 could be considered 4th game actually. First one supposedly(never played it myself) be Kings Field, not same world but prototype for next which was Demon Souls, then Dark Souls which is more or less better and polished version of Demon Souls, in yet another different world.

And since i love both Demon and Dark souls i broke my rule not to preorder games... and for PS3 even :>

Idk if one of their vouchers are working, but I'd wait until the summer sale. It's about 2-3 months after the game releases and it'll most likely hit 25%-50% off sale during that time.

GMG is offering $10.00 cash back or $12.00 in GMG credit.

Yes. Just got an email from them. With the pre-order you 'can choose between $12 GMG Credit or $10 Cash Back'

I'll give you an actual answer that you're looking for.

Yes, they have a voucher right now: H799RH-7L8NPP-RCKKT8

That should make the game $40usd

Beta levels wont be in actual game afaik.

And we don`t get lower prices like Rusia -.-

It can change before/after release though.

weird, i just meet nice people there. having a chat through the horrible GfWL system with the ones i meet, throwing a few gestures, stabbing some dudes. might be because i don't invade alot, but the co-op is alot of fun at least

Ugh, I feel the same freaking way.. I cannot stand these types of people. They are just awful..

They are also usually the types that do nothing but cheat, abuse glitches, abuse lag (backstabbing), build their characters based on the best PVP builds posted on the internet, and use walkthroughs to show them where/how to obtain the best gear at the lowest levels. Then, they go and invade the least prepared, lowest possible level players they can (with a lot of those poor guys/girls being people that have never even played the game before, or any others in the series) and then go on their forum of choice and start bragging about it/look for posts talking about such things, then act as if they are some kind of god, and everyone else that doesn't do what they do is inferior.

Some people, including those that do such things, may say things like; "It's just a game" or "It's just the internet", but really (and this is true); They are showing who they really are on the inside. Anybody, online or in the real world, that gets off on humiliating others/hurting them physically/mentally)/or act like a damn screaming cave-man beating his chest, are just terrible people.

It really just.. ugh.. I cannot even begin to describe how much I hate these pieces of crap that act this way. I feel pissed off and sick to my stomach just thinking about them..

Why can't people just be friendly and play fair? I just cannot wrap my head around it. It's a simple thing to do, yet people still go out of their way to be complete asses to others.

If it wasn't for these types, I would actually enjoy online gaming.

When I played Dark Souls originally on PS3 I eventually learned that playing it offline was my best choice.
PVE the game is great. Bosses are fun, maps are challenging and cool, but when you got into PVP... ugh.
Between lag-stabs, Dual Magic Shield Invinc, Gank Squads, Dragon Mask Spam, and general dickery I just couldn't stand PVP. (I admit I sucked badly at it too, which didn't help, I like PVE nuff said.)
So if I wanted to co-op I'd either use someone like Solaire or had to go online for help with a boss. I did everything I could to not be bothered with the online because one part of it was broken. That meant no hints, no blood. But those were minor so it wasn't too big of an issue.

Though with all that said, I played and did JUST ENOUGH PVP to Platinum trophy the game. That was far more annoying and time consuming than grinding souls, stones, and weapons.

When I decided to re-buy it on PC I knew I was going to run into the same problem. And I did, except worse.
If theres anything I'm not looking forward to in Dark Souls 2 its PVP.

P.S. Oh and I pre-ordered the shit out of Dark Souls 2. If the weapons are meh, then they're meh. Hell I used the starting thief dagger on my main through the whole game, +15'd it too. Weapons in that game aren't always like other games where things you pick up later are clearly better.

git gud scrub

Would be funny to see all the butthurt, if DS2 turns out to be a bad game or it has been made easier to attract casual players.

AUS/NZ?

$49.99 here. It's good to have US prices even though I'm far from US. Especially since we get RoW copies.

i read comments it doesn't apply, gmg not that dumb.

That's pretty much every new game now.
