We'll fuck. I currently have zero games of interest to purchase this year but since I've been looking at ultra wide stuff on YouTube a video of this in ultrawide has show up.
Now I want it cos it looks fan-bastard-tastic FFS!

See also: pressing select for map, then pressing it again gives you the map options, rather than closing the map. Nnnrghhh, that is so annoying. This is definitely a niggle, you enter the map to quickly check where you are and then menus pop up when you just want to get back to it. Tbh, a quick tap should have been a quick PIP map that fades after a second or 2, press and hold to get into the full map. And already used all my potions in 10 mins this morning.

Out of curiosity, when were folks going for Margit? About to jump on this for a biggish with the boy and we left after doing most of the stuff around the woods, near the start and I'd just tentatively began to explore more of storm hill or whatever it's called and stick my nose west into the scarlet rot area which is C something, not Limgrave... Are folk doing all this first or just going for Margit? I'm only level 15 with a +3 uchi. I was level 14 with a +1 short sword

Are folk doing all this first or just going for Margit? I'm only level 15 with a +3 uchi. I did Margit at about lv25 with a +1 greatsword and two summons. Still found it tough as nails, I’m not great at dodging and not heavy enough to block constantly. Prior to Margit I’d done a bit of exploring in the red area to the far East, and some stuff around Mistwood, but there’s still plenty I need to discover in the whole starting area Southeast of the castle.

If me and a mate bought this tonight would we just be able to coop it or do you have to collect summoning cups and all that shit?

Are folk doing all this first or just going for Margit? I'm only level 15 with a +3 uchi. I found MarGIT last night and got killed 😅. I'm level 14 at the moment but only have a +1 Astrologer staff. I also got sent to the Knights round table or something, that hub area with merchants/blacksmith etc. Jumped down into an area here with loads of bloodstains and faced a red npc phantom, which was a bit of a shock . I had a good fight but unfortunately mistimed a roll later into the battle and got killed there too. I think I really need to explore Limgrave a bit more today, as I followed a mostly linear path up to the castle to start with, and I thought it would slowly introduce stuff. Some of this openworld kinda reminds me of Dragon's Dogma, with the dangers on the road or waiting in the woods, I bloody love it! I found an area last night with some floating, glowing jellyfish,not all hostile, and undead rising from their graves who can regenerate once felled !

This game is absolutely incredible. It somehow manages to be both familiar and feel unique at the same time.

Any word on how this plays with EAC and being online? I assume it will force you offline or, worse, risk you getting banned.

Just got murdered by a giant nameless horror deep below Stormveil Castle.
Can we talk about how From have somehow managed to pivot effortlessly from S-tier linear level design to S-tier open world design? This game really is something else. Remember when we were all sceptical that open-world Dark Souls would work? They've absolutely nailed it, and best of all, those more linear, tight and twisting levels are here too!

Bloody hell Godrick is a bit tough. I’ll get there now that I’m not only wearing boots but have an Imp Hat (cat) on. Damn I look good when I fail.

Just the host, also I'm not sure if there's a timer, or barriers or something that would boot the cooperator out when in the open world (same as when you beat a boss)

And managing to avoid the worst elements of it, like the busywork, infinite map icons, over exposition and a big flashing icon saying GO HERE NEXT I just unlocked a nifty upgrade vendor. No idea how I did it

I was wondering about this too. I want to get my COD-loving mate into another game apart from Warzone, and this one could be it. But we need to co op the whole game together. So it’s not built for that kind of play then? We did The Forest together and loved it. Wondered if this could be the next game.

If I had no prior experience from souls games I’d be absolutely more fucked than I am now.

I don't personally see that as a bad thing

What are the glitches and performance like? People are going wild on social platforms about this.
Sounds like it could be worth waiting for another patch.

Truly nailed it. Never had I wanted to explore an open world so much. Me and the boy are just mopping up Stormhill and then we're going for margit. I've not gone back to Caelid yet, or the well, but I think they're for later. I've got a +4 uchi now so reasonably confident.
