    On console you can change region to New Zealand.

    Been seeing lots of hype about this one. Might try it once it goes on sale.

    My 90 minute review. Very cool, very easy to get lost. Spent all my souls on Crafting that seems largely useless.

    Walked into a boss I’m not high enough level to beat. Got him down to 1 hit and died. We’re back bay bay.

    Played for just over an hour last night and I like it, I like it a lot. Some serious grinding will occur over the weekend.

    I'm in a similar boat and I'm hoping that because it's a much bigger game things are more spread out than they were previously rather than just reduced entirely.

    Beat my first boss tonight, which caused me a ludicrous amount of trouble until I worked out that if you roll at him he really can't hit you.

    Have to say, I'm loving it.

    Cheers DS and thanks for the congrats on the boss too. To go from fisting it hard to beating it with ease was joyous.

    This is Bob, freshly bloodstained from another victorious stint on the battlefield. 11 and a half hours in and we're level 21 (Strength and Vigor 20, everything else 10) and have a +4 Longsword and a massive shield.

    Not really sure what to do now as every boss left in the starting area hands me a new arsehole when I touch them and those further afield are even worse.

    2nd one you could just go toe to toe with and for the third I was on my trusty stead.

    I've just started downloading it. May regret it as I've not really played much of these style of games so it's probably going to be ridiculously hard for me, but oh well, I needed something new to get stuck into.

    Don't miss the tutorial like a lot of people are - when you come to a certain area you'll see a ghostly dude on a chair overlooking a fall - speak to him, dont run by him!

    Horseback combat is easily the best in any game. Its so satisfying.

    Trying to kill the Tree Sentinel now... Only managed to get him down to 25% so far.

    What other bosses have you killed? I killed the Beastman in the wolf cave, but not found any others so far.

    Think I'm at 7 or 9 bosses. Loads of Dungeon ones, Tree Sentinel, and the first 'major' boss. Game is fucking huge.

    Got the bastard. The Golden Halberd looks great, but no chance I'll get 30 strength to wield it anytime soon! 😁

    6 or 7 I think.

    A cat claiming to be a Dog, the tree sentinel, beastman in the cave, wizard on a boat, dude on a beach outside a castle and two demi Gods are all definites and there may be another I'm forgetting.

    Just did the tutorial and decided to sneak up on what turned out to be the tree sentinel. Hit him a couple of times and did pretty much no damage, I ran but the bastard followed and wrecked me.

    Beautiful moment that.

    I've cleared (as in seen, barely killed anything) most the map on my horse. World is insane.

    There's also a huge holy shit moment, which you'll know when you see it. Not even worth putting in a spoiler as it's what cemented this as the best game ever for me.

    If you do wanna know, say. Blew my tiny little mind.

    Really glad Souls clicked for ya Yev as always thought you'd love it, being an Elder Scrolls nut.

    Definitely don't wanna know about that holy shit moment, I know so little about the game and would rather keep it that way.

    What level are you and what skills are you ranking up?

    I went Wretch so started level 1 and it gives 10 every attribute.

    20 Vig, 20 End, 24 STR right now. So level 34. 12 in Int too due to my mask giving +2. I always do STR first playthroufh. No shield, two hand weapn.

    You can't go wrong really mate, just pick a discipline you want in the build and put everything into it along with Vig and End.

    Each stat has a soft cap and hard cap anyway, always is in Souls. There is zero point n ever going above that hard cap as its a complete waste of time, currency and efficiency.
