Hahe yea

They are sneaky now.  You only get the fog gates AFTER you encounter a boss.  
So Finding a boss can be unplanned and quite a surprise lol

There is a semi intended first boss but depending on where you go I think you 
can get to other bosses first.
You need to encounter a boss to get insight(or get it elsewhere) in order to 
level up tho...  kinda like deamons soul.

I haven't fought the first boss yet, I suppose I'll know when it's him.I've 
seen some mean looking enemies who I just dodged because you never know whether 
it's a good idea engaging dudes early on in these games  :P

I wanted to start with the cane.  Its the best looking starting weapon imo.

But I usually pick my weapon before hand with these games and go for that and 
since Kirk and Greatsword are strenght I went with the starting Axe instead.

Died a bunch to first boss lol...  even tho ive seen people fight him since the 
beta he still kicked my ass :P

Im not very far into the game but sofar everything was kinda interconnected and 
looping back into each other with you opening shortcuts back to previous 
"bonfires" etc.

It takes a while to get rid of the DS2 muscle memory tho...  Triangle being 
potion and not 2hand/transform happens allot :P

Wish the game had a bit more weapons or easier way to get them.
They showed off a Scythe in the trailers...  wanted to make that my weapon but 
apparently you can only get it by defeating the final boss and arent any other 
Scythes :(

So I decided fuck it and went Str build instead.

Not sure what the loading times were on console for previous souls games but 
its pretty damn annoying on BB.  On PC I was unlucky if it loaded for more than 
5 seconds.

I see shortcuts aplenty are in BB just like the first 2 souls games.
I'm sold.

lol, I'm the same.The game is very self-aware. I was looking at everything, 
then one of the characters was like "Look, I know you want to get the most out 
of the game, but can we go now"

I actually told GB the same thing a few weeks ago - I don't enjoy playing Xrd 
because it upsets me too much.  The difference is I could actually point out 
exactly what I didn't like about the game - the input system and non-standard 
freeze windows without buffering.  I don't mind the losing at all.  But far too 
often I'd find myself just giving up halfway in a match because my opponent 
randomly crossed me up while went from 214 H (down to back then HS) and I get 
Secret Garden.  Or I RC and mash dash and then nothing happens because my 
opponent's RC extended the freeze window.  Or I try reversal super when ends up 
as Secret Garden because my opponent's RC swallows half my inputs.  It just 
becomes a very frustrating experience.

All these issues can be overcome with practice, but right now I just don't have 
any time to play, let alone practice.

I dunno, last time I checked, Xrd was still being played every Saturday. We 
usually have a decent amount of people playing the game at any given time and 
the number of players is mostly consistent unless someone can't make it.
There's nothing wrong with SF being played on stream if there are enough 
players for it. I may not care all that much for SF these days (because of how 
long I've played the game for) but I'm not opposed to it being played or 
streamed, and I will play too if need be. The same applies to any other 
fighting game that is played at our sessions. It's always dependent on the 
level of support. We're a 'fighting game' community, not an 'Xrd' or 'SF' or 
'Tekken' or 'KOF' community. I think we lose sight of that sometimes. I know we 
jokingly take jabs at each others' fighting game interests from time to time, 
but it should never go beyond that or we will very quickly find ourselves 
divided and without a scene.
Regarding Xrd, some time ago Paas asked everyone how they felt about the game. 
My response at the time was positive. I was learning how to play my character; 
learning how the system mechanics function, etc. It was a fun experience.
Now that I've had some time to play the game extensively against good comp, 
with a far better grasp of my character and the system mechanics, I can 
honestly say the following.
I do not enjoy playing the game.
It would be easy for me to blame the game for my lack of enjoyment, but that 
would be unfair and untrue. Truth be told, I can't really fault the system 
(except Danger Time). I love how the defensive mechanics function and how they 
do not completely nullify offense, even aiding one offensively at times. I love 
how the game is offense-orientated and that blockstrings actually function as 
intended (no mashing out). I also like my main, Chipp, and the plethora of 
options available to him in terms of mobility, setups and mixups.
So, what some may be asking then is, "If you like all of the above, why don't 
you enjoy playing the game?". Well, I've invested quite a bit of time in the 
game (as has everyone else), and I haven't gotten the results I want. My aim in 
any fighting game is never 'to be the best' but to go toe to toe with anyone in 
the group and perhaps win here or there. In Xrd, I don't feel like I can go toe 
to toe with anyone, despite time put in. It has nothing to do with the game. 
Everyone else knows what they're doing with their characters and have a decent 
grasp of how to 'play' the game. I don't think I'm on the same mental 
wavelength as everyone else in that respect. Long story short, I don't think I 
play the game well enough to get the results I want. Other players in the group 
are better and I can respect that. But if I'm not even winning a game in a FT3 
set after several sessions' worth of play, then it should make sense why I 
don't enjoy playing Xrd.
The other reason, and perhaps the most important one, is that the game really 
makes me angry. I've played many fighting games over the years and Xrd is the 
only one that really pushes me over the edge to the point that I'm angry for 
the rest of the session. It happened this past Saturday. I didn't feel like 
talking to anyone. I kept losing and I didn't feel like playing anymore. I just 
played because people asked me to. Losing in other games doesn't affect me 
nearly as badly as losing in Xrd. I have no idea why. That's just the way it is.
The problem with this is that, despite it being funny to people, it affects me 
on an emotional level that, in turn, affects how I interact with other people 
at the session. I'm not saying that I'm upset at someone for beating me; 
everyone knows me well enough to know that I'm not that guy. I'm saying that 
losing in Xrd upsets me to the extent that I don't feel like talking to anyone. 
Personally, I'd much rather have a good time playing a game and interacting 
with people than not doing that and being upset all the time.
Does this mean that I will stop playing Xrd? Nope. I'll play it because the 
game is worthy of support and there are enough people playing it to ensure that 
it stays alive. I probably won't make midweek sessions anymore though, as, 
quite frankly, I'm tired of being a punching bag. No one learns anything about 
my character from playing me other than "If the character gets hit, the 
round/game/match is over". My character is not so problematic that people need 
me to be at a midweek session to grind out the matchup. Everyone already knows 
how to fight Chipp. I'd rather suggest that if there is a problematic matchup, 
that the midweek session be used for such purposes. So, I'm stating for the 
record that I will not attend midweek sessions anymore. 
My apologies in advance, Manase.
