I saw a tiny bit and they seem legit, they gave content creators early access to the DLC and now there’s a lot of gameplay, bosses, and story being spoiled on social media. Be careful out there.

    I’ll sticky that for the time being to remind everyone to be mindful of spoilers.
    You are free to not care about spoilers, but at least respect those who do, thank you.

    Polygon does this too:

    “Why boss XYZ is one of the hardest and why it’s misunderstood”

    Along with a picture of the boss on the front page

    It sucks having to either play it on day one or stay away from social media in order to avoid spoilers

      I uninstalled the Google News app bc otherwise I’m sure it’d send me notifications for articles about bosses and lore

        I uninstalled whatever version of it was around a few years ago when it spoiled the f1 I was planning on watching later by sending a push notification with the result the moment it finished

      I am not ready to play it due to life stuff, but I absolutely have to because I know my friends will be playing it day 1 just like before, and if I didn’t join them I would have missed out on some of the best online gaming I’ve had in probably 10 years.

      is it really that hard. I have to search for posts about a game to see things about the game on the whole and most things specifcally about a subject are pretty good about spoiler tags and even then usually the subject will indicate to you if its dangerous spoiler wise.

    What spoilers? That you fight a big, weird-looking boss with multiple baby heads or something at some point? The game’s story is not exactly full of twists and turns.

        I love me some souls games but i’m not sure i’ve ever gotten much of the story from the games. I always have to go read about them on wikis.

          The story/lore is from reading all the item descriptions and talking to everyone, gotta find it yourself unlike most games.

              Well, I personally love the Lore/Story. But I also love Games like Majoras Mask with lots of speculation and mysteries. If I play a Souls Game it feels like I’m an archeologist, most of the story is told by looking at the environments and reading old descriptions for Weapons/items.

              I agree, those are those play for the gameplay games, I don’t want to sit in a menu for 20 hours reading lore and still don’t know that I’m missing the necklace that explains why the jesters head was cut off or some stupid shit.

              These games are made for some passionate fan to explain the lore in a way for others to grasp and that’s not always a bad thing. Still friggen stupid though.

          The story is much better told through Vaati’s words. And his voice is very soothing to listen to.

      I can only speak for myself. For me it felt really great being able to explore the world having absolutely zero idea of what is what, how much game is left, etc. It is reminiscent of a time when I was a kid and playing a game was exactly like that.

      I even got quite sad when my friend “accidentally” told me

      spoiler

      That a certain action I did locked me into a specific ending unless I did something I probably wouldn’t be able to figure out. Rationally I understand that this is as inconsequential as it gets, but I didn’t even know for sure if there were multiple endings until that point.

        "And thus it was that the Great Finger Lords, thralls to Gordana the Pulchritudinous, cast their withered finger-bodies into the Well of Sanguine Apoploxy, shattering the Piteous Eye, and covering the vale in a shadow of fingers.

        Only when the Order of the Beshivered Spindle is restored upon the Great Finger-ruine Mountain will Bodkin the Befingered, with his Great Spear of Unreturning, return to rebuild the Yeoman’s Sepulchre and return the Affrighted Digitus, with its many weird, tiny baby-faced fingers, to its finger-realm. Fingers."
