Yay. Glad that they didn't miss the mark. Still waiting on my key to come over, although I probably won't touch this for a few weeks.

More people I'll have to permanently unfollow, I guess.Copies are in the wild and there are players streaming this right now on twitch if anyone wants to check it out.

Good for them. I'm still unfollowing anyone who is playing the game today. I did the same when Dark Souls 3 came out.Activision sent press release copies out to Twitch streamers.
I'm really hoping this unlocks early on Steam...
If you're thinking of using CDKeys for this - I just got a "cannot be activated" message + a refund. Looks like it's straight retail for me this time.
is this the first time that's happened to you with cdkeys?...things like this are the reason why I don't trust grey market sites like that no matter how cheap they are selling a game for...outside of sites like Steam or Humble etc I do use GMG but they are backed by the publishers so no worries with them
This is a rare fumble for CDKeys. I got an insta-refund with an apology email for the "last minute region blah blah snafu'. They even gave me a 10% discount code. This is the first time CDKeys has let me down, period. I tossed in $7 more and ended up giving Green Man Gaming my money. Still ~$5 cheaper than Steam.
I'm thinking Bandai-Namco threw CDKeys a last-minute curveball by locking out the U.S. from the (early?) worldwide region key pool. If there were any doubts, CDKeys did the right thing by refunding the money to those in question. You don't want an angry mob at your door once the key is registered and the game refuses to launch.
I'm playing with Japanse Voices, really liking it so far.I like that the default voice setting is Japanese...adds to the immersion...are people here playing with Japanese + English subtitles?...I'll probably do English voice for a NG+ run
The game runs well- locked and stable 60fps at my resolution, 1440p, and the settings at "max" - just like DS3. Visually it's good.
It's early on, so these impressions are a bit incomplete: it's good, and I'm enjoying myself, but it's hard to fight two different types of muscle memory. First, I have to fight the urge to play this like a Team Ninja game and dive in and button mash to hell. Next, I have to fight the urge to play like a Souls game and dodge/kite enemies. You are much more capable but the parry/dodge timings are different (in a good way, you have to constantly be paying attention).
Fighting more than one enemy, just like DS2, just like DS2 Sins, just like DS3, is as clumsy as it always was. And I'm constantly fighting the grapple lock-on, as if it's always targeting slightly below the spot I'm trying to aim towards. The engine and style are at a bit of odds to what I sometimes want to do with the character- I think it's a me problem, and we'll see after many more hours in. It's still quite early.
I also got killed by a weird chicken/turkey thing. Sweet.
I've been taking my time, getting used to the controls and mechanics and figuring out how best to remap the keys...once again From Software absolutely nails the level design...the setting is also very nice...graphics are not Witcher 3 but it's the best looking From Software game ever...I'm playing at 1440p G-Sync everything maxed and it looks really nice
the stealth and grappling mechanics almost feel out of place in a From Software title but I like that they're trying new things
The default keybinds are pretty awkward for a FromSoft game, I'll probably rebind it closer to Dark Souls keys. Been playing 2 hours at default binds though, still not getting used to it.
I rebind pretty much every game I play on PC...the main thing is I like using the arrow keys for movement (to the bottom left of NumPad)...so I then bind everything else around that.
