This is nothing unusual. Games sell early all the time. Not in my area though. =(

vallencer3717d ago

Same here my friend :(. It never surprises me to see its Walmart either.

CrossingEden3717d ago

Took the words out of my post.

PFFT3716d ago

My local 3D Games store used to sell games early BUT a certain specific game store put a stop to that. Now i have to wait like everyone else :(

GentlemenRUs3717d ago (Edited 3717d ago )

A month early correct? Jeez...

EDIT: Disagree all you want, But when rolling bans come into place for playing a game a month early then don't come crying to me :P

Master-H3717d ago

The US version comes out on the 11th, genius.

Ilovetheps53717d ago

2 days ≠ 1 month

That's where the disagrees are coming from probably.

xfear2diex3716d ago

i saw the xbox pal ver of the game two days ago so that almost a week

Reverent3716d ago (Edited 3716d ago )

From Software doesn't ban people for playing their games early. When Dark Souls 1 launched, people who played it before it's release, From Software actually had overpowered black phantoms invade their worlds to mercilessly kill them.

Dirtnapstor3716d ago

Oh yeah, I remember that! Good strategy in general for all developers yo think about. Fill a MP game with killer bots or whatever will suit the game.

KingMe423716d ago

Theres also a few people who ordered from amazon and got their copies a few days early. Not a huge deal to me.

PurpHerbison3716d ago

Now that would be nice! Only reason I didn't order online was cause I want to make sure I have it day 1.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3716d ago

Big deal, I've been watch this game being streamed on twitch for a week now. I'm waiting for the PC version anyway so no biggie

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

The game isn't good though.

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

CrimsonWing6975d ago

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

Aussiesummer75d ago

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville75d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!

qalpha163d ago

I used the Jungle Beat Bongos from my Gamecube

The_Hooligan162d ago

I just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
