Hey /dsg/, with the release of DaS3 on PS4, could we get a couple of anons to report back on the following:


Some anon to rush to NG+ and report back any unique differences.

Some anon to slap every nook and cranny for secrets.

Some anon to go through the tedium of getting down the frame timings of parry-frames and i-frames of dashes, rolls and backsteps.
If nobody can get the frame timings before PC release, i'm just going to unzip CE and get results in like 20m.

>>136118193
STR is looking insanely strong. weapons have hyperarmor and great tracking

we haven't seen anyone using STR/FAI yet but we've seen some interesting miracles spoiled by the loading screen, like a miracle that summons insect swarms that cause bleed

What the fuck just happened. I just googled it and it says this happens when your ps+ runs out. And nothing else. But it doesn't expire until 8/17/2016... 5 more months not 30 minutes... as soon as I loaded up the game, it said it will expire in 30 minutes again.

Did you seriously think that was a STR weapon?

>>136118713
It's ultimately easier to design the world this way. You don't have to actually think about the distances between areas that you can see from Majula, for example. Heide's tower is like 5km away but you walk maybe a few hundred feet before reaching that area. Same with the big stone statues in the opposite direction, and so on. In Dark Souls 1 you can actually see from area to area at many points in the game and the distances are pretty spot-on. You can leave a prism stone in TOTG and walk to Ash Lake and see your prism stone floating off in the distance.

>>136118832
>strength leaning

>>136118713
non-euclidean is much easier because every map is a separate loading zone. you just build each map independently, with an independent coordinate space, and then using streaming volumes to connect them. any game engine can do this

a globally consistent world requires an absolute coordinate space across maps, which most engines don't do. you have to build tech to do it

There isn't one. Nobody ever cared enough about 2 to do any substantial digging.

The basic gist is that the a king conquers a land, kills 4 big dudes that had inherited the lord souls and makes a new kingdom. After a while, he gets tricked into picking a fight with giants and they come and destroy his kingdom.

You're some random fuckoff cursed undead that's come here following a rumor that the king had an answer to the curse.

The king's brother is a crazy researcher guy with a fetish for dragons. He creates an artificial firekeeper that guides you through the game. You're essentially manipulated into becoming the successor to thew King so that you can take control of the first flame, which the king had never been able to claim for himself. That brother also turned himself into a giant tree monster that's bound to the bonfires, and may or may not return in DaS3 because he was basically a central character.

The only other important tidbit is that Manus broke into 4 fragments that each reformed into their own entity. These "Children of Dark" took a humanoid form and went around leading kingdoms to ruin so that they could steal the strength of their kinds. Drangleic was ruined because the king's wife was one of those manus-kids and her ultimate goal was to claim the first flame for herself.

That's about all that's worth knowing.

There are some names of kings that are just irrelevant parts of the cycle, but yeah that's about it.

There was a thing about how when Manus died the abyss was fragmented and he turned into a bunch of waifus that end up dead by the end anyway. I guess that might be the only thing relevant from 2.

>>136121885
>>136121892
guys, that's not really fair. it is totally possible for one of the press people with access to the pc version to leak it to a scene group who will then crack it far before the april 12th release date.

not that that's especially likely, just that its possible.

How does that happen so often though? It seems like every time a "hard" game needs a preview they just hire the first journalist they see. Isn't it like, you know, beneficial for your game to get decently covered by a person with at least a bit of experience with the series who can come up with fluid and fun gameplay that looks appealing?

>>136123260
For PvP or PvE? PvE it is decent with nourishing gems. Can get something like 1300 off a primed jumping attack. The damage multipliers for the charge attack aren't much better, though, and the biggest boon in PvE is that it's primed jumping attack causes severe knockback.

I think they just don't care.
Gary from accounting says that his friend wants a chance to play game X early and whoever is in charge gives it to Gary's friend because the manager is also Gary's friend and Gary's a good accountant.

They don't really care of the coverage was good or not. It's all the same shit to them and the lowest common denominator they pander to has rock-bottom standards. Just as long as the guy says "ripperino" and spouts memes for the camera, it's all good.

If you're good enough to make it work then roll with it m8, don't listen to faggots who think if you have no poise you should be flipping or vice versa.
And even if you don't do well with it you having fun is what matters.
As for how viable it is a small shield is difficult to use with a rapier due to lack of stability and higher defenses, if you wanted to know that.

It's more that Japan is literally Sony's territory and Sony has the clout to keep competitors out of their home turf.

>>136124692
looooool

I could have sworn some anons had the game early. Do they not intend to stream it? Or were they simply bluffing? Granted we'll get streams by tomorrow, but still.

>>136124771

Sony and Nintendo don't seem to care to work with one another and directly compete, so I think Japanese people in general prefer to compete rather than work together.

>>136124631
Don't Jap PCs have some weird OS of their own or am I just crazy?

>>136124853
We have some people that preordered the jp version and will have it tomorrow, but there's no gaming press or e-celebs that are from here who'd have it early like this.

>>136124936
No, the games sometimes simply are not available because of their IP.

>>136124297
You can't repair your stuff?

>>136124771
That's not even remotely true. It's Nintendo-land over there. They own the vast majority of the marketshare. If a company wanted to port to PC at the same time they could do so...provided they have the resources to do that. Of course neither Sony nor Nintendo are going to waste their resources on helping companies port to PC.

>>136124771
Also, PC gaming is synonymous with eroges in Japan, like you go to a gaming store and the pc area is populated by a TON of VNs and an absurd amount of eroges.

Oh limb-based combat is only gonna be better and better, especially if you find guns.

rip anon, may god have mercy on you

my paypal seemed to have gone through instantly, I just had to wait for play-asia itself to verify the payment source and link the codes on the orders page

never had an issue with paypal saying it hadn't paid, so maybe its something else and not play-asia? no idea, but good luck mate

There's an embargo. They got the game to play it early, but can't share anything until the embargo lifts. They got the game prior to the embargo so they could play it and learn things, and then share those things after the embargo lifts to shill the game.

It's basic WoM advertising.

What's the point of your post? Are you trying to imply that das1 has shit like this >>136118103 or this >>136127010 or that the tiny issues it has compare to das2's issues?
