For Xbox owners you can actually play this in English (not just voices) right now. Buy on the Japanese store, switch back to English and it works - https://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=198999256#post198999256

 

Jelly! Buying on JP PSN just gives you the JP version.

 

Damn Scamco and their pointless Western delay (speculated it's due to their financial year starting April 1st).

Been playing this all day, I had originally bought it from the XBOX JP marketplace (I have a basic understanding of Japanese and was too impatient to wait for the EU release) but the English text was a nice surprise. Amazing game, as expected.

 

I'll definitely be buying it on PC when it comes out too though because as usual the consoles can't even maintain a stable 30fps.

wtf? A game like Souls would be almost unplayable with poor framerate.

I guess one advantage might be that any early bugs would be identified and addressed and any server issues would be resolved.

It's far from unplayable, but you can definitely feel it dropping below 30fps in certain areas. The same thing happens in DS1/DS2 (on consoles) and Bloodborne so it was kind of expected, the only soulsborne release without framedrops in places is the PC version of DS2 (which even a mid-range GTX 260 from 2009 can run at 1080p/60fps stable). Luckily the games are so good and immersive you don't really  notice it too much, but hopefully the PC release will be even better.

Nah it's just pandering to the "big streamers" and wanting to make company financials look good. Yeah I'm salty :rofl:

 

Thankfully it's the last game in the publishing agreement between From and Namco.

Please, please, tell me, I will be able to mod a top hat and monocle onto that giant crab!!

 

I can not wait, for this game, I've finished DS:PTDE and DS2:SOTFS so many times, I was able to resist Bloodborne because I don't own a console that it's on. I hope this game good!!

A dupe glitch in a Souls game?! I'm shocked. How do they manage to consistently introduce a new dupe glitch with every single soulsborne game and QA testers not find it before release :huh:. Hopefully parrywalking doesn't make a return too.

Using the same engine with same jank. They manage to patch them but folk always find a way to work the system.

Graphically they are on par with each other but the 60 fps is just so much smoother.

Is that Andre of Astoria @ 1:30? or just a similar smith type character? I really need to start following this game much closer, but my DS2:SOTFS Vanquisher Seal run is taking up all of my free time right now.

I just bought an Xbox One. Woo. Mainly for this, yes I'm sad, but I'd have become a two console owner at some point anyway. 

Sorry for being dense, but why did you buy an X1 "mainly for this", isn't DS3 available on all major platforms?

Because you can buy the Japanese versions of the game and get it with English sub titles so you basically get the full playable game now instead of in 2 weeks.

 

Which is, to say the least, making a lot of people angry. It really makes you question why there is a delay for the rest of the world on the other versions of the game.

So the X1 and PS4 Japanese versions weren't released at the same time? If they were you could just import the PS4 Jap version, unless it doesn't have English subtitles.

 

Either way, have fun, AB :p

Not sure. I thought it was only the xbox 1 version that was released already in Japan.

 

I'm probably wrong though, I'll admit I haven't been paying all that much attention to this games release.

 

That way I'm less hyped for it. In theory anyways.

Heh, I get that. Keep expectations nice and low so if a game is average you aren't disappointed but if it's awesome it's all good. :cool:

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
