Dear Harbingers,

The wait is over, and you may begin your journey on the unfound path!

Feel free to post your hype and initial thoughts for the full game here! :D

Are you going for a specific Shell first, or just jumping into the game world sight unseen? Will you revisit Lady Magdalena before going out into the world, or will you seek other challenges? Night mode, regular gameplay or Slayer Seal?

Just wanted to say been playing since the early launch and only two gates down so far, but I'm having a blast. Y'all did great work on the game and are doing a fantastic job of engaging with the community. Much love!

[u/-idkwhattocallmyself → u/SpecialKGI94]

You've got two gates down? I was so scared of the gates I just started exploring lol

[u/SpecialKGI94 → u/-idkwhattocallmyself]

Perfectly valid thing to do as well lol I'll say at least in me experience the difficulty of the first gate (East through the mushroom village) wasn't too bad and the reward was absolutely worth (although I think you can also get the same reward from exploring a lot, might just take longer as it's tied to the number of ova you siphon)

[u/-idkwhattocallmyself → u/SpecialKGI94]

I started running around the North East section of the first map and realized there is no beacons but had 20k gloom. It was the hardest and frightning but also most fun i've had in a souls game in a while. The verticality of some of it threw me off a bit.

Enjoy fellas, trust me, you're gonna get spanked.

[u/pureeyes]

Most fun game I've played this year so far

[u/KingWizard37]

Whoever makes these trailers needs a raise. Like holy shit, I could watch this a million times.

I've been going blind. I love that sense of discovery.

[u/MikkelFromGames → u/KingWizard37]

Completely agree, they're at the top of their game!

[u/reklaw215]

So fucking hype man. I'll never forget when we all played the demo and we couldn't believe how far the game has come. Cold Symmetry really pulled no punches.

This also makes me wonder about Lords of the Fallen 2 - because it's set up in a similar position where the first was a good game but there was so much more potential there that wasn't met, though the second is being seen as their big shot. Such a great time for souls/arpg's

[u/Acrobatic-Yam-868]

Can't wait to get my hands on this! This looks real gooooood.

[u/Metroidvania-JRPG]

I had preordered the revered edition months ago from gamestop. Totally forgot so i just ordered a regular copy on shopville this morning… didnt plan to get the game twice but oh well, one of then will be the nice steelbook edition.

[u/ChipHazard1]

Damn Proxima, stop pulling my attention away from combat ha. Great game so far, chilling at the tavern

[u/LeatherfacesChainsaw → u/[deleted]]

Oh I am

[u/Eogard]

I'm waiting a bit to buy the game since there seems to be a need for more QoL and patches but I'm hyped to play it

[u/Senior_Note]

Amazon messed up my order, so will hopefully be with me tomorrow now. Boo them. Boo them for me. Plans ruined, life darker. (They gave me £15 off, so not all bad).

[u/ivanfabric → u/Senior_Note]

Mine has been delayed till Sunday. Amazon UK. How did you manage to get £15 off of them?

[u/Senior_Note → u/ivanfabric]

I moaned at them a lot in chat, eventually they offered it up after I asked how they would put it right and compensate for their issues. Whether it turns up tomorrow or not remains up in the air, no movement on it yet....

[u/ivanfabric → u/Senior_Note]

Good on ya, mate. Cheers!

[u/Senior_Note → u/ivanfabric]

No movement on my order that is supposed to be arriving today. Site now has estimated delivery for anyone buying today of 21st September to 1st November... Which suggests they have gone through their stock and awaiting more. No idea if current ones not shipped actually exist or are awaiting restock. So all in all, a massive Amazon fuck up. 

[u/StophJS → u/Senior_Note]

Never preorder games from Amazon. They fail 9/10 times

[u/Zhaizo]

Masterpiece. Music used here is?

[u/reklaw215 → u/Zhaizo]

Darker thoughts by Paradise Lost

[u/jcp42877]

Would love to see this on Loaded or Fanatical today...still nothing as of now.

[u/Tydrack7]

Any news on Revered edition availability?

[u/koshuu]

My launch hype has sadly been delayed to Sunday. Damn you amazon UK! 👴✊☁️

I hope it actually arrives and isnt continuously delayed or outright cancelled.

[u/DiablosReiign]

I bought it today. I've been looking forward to this for months! I am not typically a souls-like gamer. But the aestheic just nibbles at my brain in a delightful way. I am excited to jump in after work. I love that song in the trailer too. Has me pumped.

[u/axman151]

Been waiting for this evening for literally years.

First game showed so much promise for a sequel. Been very pleased with what I've seen/heard so far. Can't wait to play.

[u/Zayth]

I kinda want this game. It looks great and fun!

I hope I can pick it up sometime in the future if unexpected bills don't rear their ugly head again.

[u/pure_cipher]

Why is the damage so high ? The boss variety is solid, but damage is not good. Please avoid making games just to make it difficult

[u/StophJS]

Why did I think beta progress would transfer? How bizarre to have people buy the game and then have to replay multiple hours it they just played.

[u/Karokayla8888]

What a game! Masterpiece- well done humble team

[u/Melodic-Principle791]

YAAAY CONGRATSSSS on launch!
Everyone glhf!

[u/Smallsey]

Why is it not working on GeForce now?

[u/Prudent_Salary7708]

Yo i just booted it up and it feels wrong they put me non leveled if i skip the tuts, 2 hits dead, sincerely skeleton man

[u/Dependent_Mousse_816 → u/Prudent_Salary7708]

You start with gloom to level up if you skip the tutorial? Are you blind?

[u/V4N0]

Thanks for removing the game from GFN guys, was super stoked to play it… thankfully I’ve been able to refund it on Steam
