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:

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
