Lemme check this out, forgot about those 2.

That took much longer than expected.
Massive late game/ending spoilers:

Spoiler: show

I know I said the difficulty was easier than expected, but that kind of changed after reaching about halfway into the game.
The game starts getting really brutal when you're at the part where you're supposed to defeat the 4 Soul Lords.

The fights themselves are hard enough, but the way to each one is pretty dangerous, also add to that that none of the bosses have a Bonfire that's really close to them, even the closest ones have about a few minutes of dashing through enemies to reach each time you die.

The fights were difinitely the most fun I've had playing this and DS though, each one has a different feel to it and you have to strategize accordingly for every one.

The final boss though, that's where the real fun was, imagine fighting a combination of False King and Flamelurker. And the music went really well with it as well.

I'm not sure about the details yet, but it seems I got the bad ending, you end up being consumed by the flames after you link them.

There was a boss that I missed unfortunately and it seems that that's the reason I got the bad ending, I guess you have to defeat all the bosses in the game to get the good ending.

That was the good ending you rekindle the flame in the world , the bad ending (depending on prespective) is just leaving the room and becoming the dark lord

Oh, haha, shows what I know.
Any idea how to get the bad ending though?

[Chun Liroy]

Ahh, thought you meant that's what happens in the bad ending, my bad.

Same, but they told me if I come to the midnight launch that they usually have extra copies of special edition games.

[Jaxzer]

So wait LE comes with guide, soundtrack, etc etc all for $60 if you preorder? Need to get my ass to gamestop tomorrow

Needed to get your ass to Gamestop about 2+ weeks ago actually. Most are no longer able to take preorders for CE at this point, but good luck!

Amazons CSR's have been stating all preorders will still be upgraded to CE (Even though they show sold out), even if you order the standard on the site. If they are not, I suppose Amazons going to get a lot of flack and or give out quite a few gift cards.

I didn't know amazon was doing free upgrade.... fuck me. Already paid in full at gamestop

[Doombear]

I had heard that Newegg sold a ton of CEs and then yesterday and today people started noticing that their orders had been changed. They only said Dark Souls, no Collector's Edition on the receipt page. People are being told by Newegg CRs that they never had any CE's to begin with. That suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

That is so messed up..... thats shady business

[Lebzile]

So yeah, apparently almost all of the covenants can physically change how your character looks

Gravelord turns you into a Lich, Path of the Dragon you become a Dragon, Chaos, if you betray it, puts an egg on your head that eventually evolves into a Larva like thing that replaces the kick animation.

So. fucking. Hyped.

Gravelord all the way baby, I'm going to server Papa Nurgle, er, Nito.

Well if people read the preorder site direct from the publisher they would see the only "retailers" that are going to stock the CE.
