How do you handle this situation, /v/?
Whats there to spoil?
>>331774446
Studies have shown that people enjoy media more if they know the spoilers, so don't worry about it senpai.

There is no story. How could this shit game get spoilered?
I don't get this weird obsession with spoilers and not being spoiled that people have.
I don't give a shit about the story beats if I don't have a personal investment in them, or understanding of their context.
Knowing that a character dies isn't a big deal, as I still get to see how and why that event comes to pass, and experience it for myself.
I have never once been spoiled on a video game boss battle and then said to myself "I would have enjoyed this more if I didn't learn about it on the internet before."

You must have a serious case of autism. I'd get that checked out.

I am going crazy it is like MGSV all over again
>>331774446
Not gonna give a crap. Not gonna buy it.
I think it's finally time I admitted these games just don't do anything for me. I've bought ever Souls game up till now and have maybe 10 hours playtime between them.
>>331774620
for your average bitch, if something gets spoiled for me i usually wont even participate in it anymore

Nah, re-roll
By playing Way Of The Samurai 3.
If I bought DaS3 on the US store, does it pre-load to the console?
I have 60$ in PSN credit, which is just for the US store.
Say I bought DaS3. Is there a cache or anything created, so that I could start the download from a Japanese account?
I don't have 60$ to blow directly from my bank account since I have it pre-ordered as the Collector's Edition at Gamestop.
So basically are files available on console after buying us version

God fucking damnit no, re-roll

New expectations are a meme, everything is predictable to a point, originality is a lie.
Why do you care about the content than the execution of it?

You deserve whatever spoilers you read you fucking retard
>>331774446
Simple I don't care about spoilers. Besides, I doubt there's anything worth spoiling.
The thing that bugs me the most isn't the spoilers it's that all you fags will already have the best builds in mind and will be bee-lining towards the best weapons and spells, and yes I know that matching is based on weapon level now too, and those first few weeks of everyone playing like a complete retard trying out new builds will be dead in the water before the game is even released here.
What's there to spoil in a Souls game? Do people actually play it for the story?
Ignore Dark Souls 3 threads it's easy.
Besides I doubt there is anything worth spoiling in Dark Souls 3 except maybe what many of the bosses are. Most of the stuff is just obscure lore and shit and perhaps what the endings entail, and the endings in all of the Souls games don't really involve much.
>>331777169
I don't but the atmosphere, lore and history make up a big part of the series.
>>331777287
There's always that one fag who makes a thread with a spoiler, like all of thosehan solo diesspoilers.
just wait
>>331774446
I thought crows were supposed to be smart
>spoilers on a completely convoluted storyline that requires as much personal interpretation as it does research
>>331774446
By playing the game when it leaks for PC, which will be any day now.
>>331775381
You die at the end :^)
>caring about stories in video games
I don't care about spoilers. I'm just interested in playing the game.
>>331775247
What's not to get? Some people like surprises. Some people want to go into a situation blind, with no expectations.
To borrow your example, when a character dies, not only would you be able to experience the how and why, but you also get hit with the immediate shock or gradual realization of what's coming.
It's why people say they wish they could experience _____ again for the first time.

The true final boss of Dark Souls 3 is in the Usurpation of Fire path. TheFire Keeper absorbs the First Flame and becomes the Countess of Ash.
I don't care. Souls spoilers don't bother me since the story is convoluted to the point it's nearly impossible to spoil it all so early. Otherwise you can spoil bosses, but fighting them is what's special, not necessarily seeing them. If someone showed me Ornstein and Smough I'd just look at it and think, "All right, two golden knights as a boss. So what." Fighting them though, with the music and struggle, is what makes the game fun.
Besides, you have to work pretty hard to get spoiled on all the bosses and events in the game. I can understand scrolling by a thread with an image of one of the bosses, but that's just one boss. If you don't go looking for information or just ignore threads it's really easy to avoid shit.
Now, if you want to know a true struggle just wait until Persona 5 is released in Japan. Persona games tend to rely on their story heavily with twists commonly placed throughout. And if it comes out in Japan first (which it most likely will) that will be a nightmare to avoid. Compared to Persona 5 avoiding DS3 spoilers is a cakewalk.
>>331775303
dunno how it got stuck in the first place, but gonna guess the blood stains are from flapping its wings against the wood trying to get free
>>331774446
I unsubscribe from a bunch of youtube people thinking I'll be okay, then remembering I also go on /v/ and before you know it I know everything there is to know.That fucking final boss theme though sweet jesus.
i'm watching a stream of it right now. want to see as much as possible before starting it myself.
actual spoilers ahead:he just entered that big open space and the tree started waking up and rekt him. pretty great moment
>>331785114
I'm getting the fuck off of /v/ once P5 launches in Japan. Probably Youtube and gaming sites n general.
>>331785269
Same. After how popular the games got, P5 spoilers will be daily thread starter for /v/. And with how the games tend to have giant twists and multiple endings it would be fucking infuriating to get spoiled.
>>331775247
>I, I, me, me, me, I
By your own argument don't you see how subjective it is.
>>331774446
We all know the ending.
You can choose to save everything or choose to let everything go to shit.
That's how it always fucking is, nobody gives a shit about the ending to Dank Souls.
>>331774446
Stop playing shit games and the problem solves itself
>spoilers
I've played all the Souls games, and I still don't know what the hell happened in any of the games.
I thought the general reason any one plays these games are for the gameplay and not story.
>>331774446
>he plays DaS for the story
L O L
>>331785973
I also don't care about these NPCs since their "quest" or shit like that it's just useless. I just kill them
>>331786195
Nearly all of them die or you have to kill them anyway.
>>331785973
i love and hate this "i don't really get what's even going on" feeling i get from souls games. on one hand i like the "minimalistic" presentation of the story and lore and how it leaves room for guessing. but i always feel like i'm not getting all enjoyment i could by not getting all of the story. same with MGS lore.
>>331786356
Can't expand on story that isn't there. And no, fan interpretation doesn't count as story/lore.
>>331786356
Yeah, when I play I'm just like, oh boy another boss let's kill it.
Play down the corridor with no story progression.
Oh boy another boss, let's kill this one and continue.
Yet again, no story progression.
All they do is throw you in the game, kinda say something, and then you're on your own to kill everything.
It's not JUST out on PS4
It's out, IN ENGLISH on XBONE
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls3JPN/comments/4bmtqd/xbox_one_version_is_english_unlocked_right_now/
>>331786518
what do you mean? you can't really say dark souls has NO story at all. there are enough hard points to form the general idea.
Stay on /pol/ like i normally do until I can pirate the English version.
>>331774446
why does it take so long to localize I wonder. I mean, they record in english at the same time don't they? that means dialog is already translated. The only thing after that is item descriptions, right?
Where did the blood come from on that fence post?
Someone explain.
>consoles getting the game first
Why is this allowed?
>>331774701
Yeah but how many jumps did it take?
What were the levels like?

It's about the journey, not the destination.

They're that lazy they just made him black and throw a couple new moves and act like it's NEW.

well what the hell rollin
>>331774620
How do you even study something like that? What a load of bullshit.
>>331777840
they are very curious, sometimes too curious
>>331774446
You handle it by already having played the best souls game, Bloodborne, and not caring about the third re-hash of the tired "main"line which was ruined by DaS2 anyway.
Why end the ride with mediocrity when the last taste in your mouth is already stellar?
>>331789468
DS3 is literally PC's Bloodborne.
As I never bought a PS4, I welcome it.
>>331774446
Clever word filters like I did for mgs5 before I could play it.

How about zones, bosses and weapons that we haven't seen?

>As I never bought a PS4, I welcome it.
I'm sorry this will be your best souls experience. I'm sorry you'll miss on the better half of the souls series, the games co-developed by Japan studios.
I'm sorry you've had to spend the last years with DaS2 as your most recent souls game.
Come here, good hunter. Let me warm your cold blood.
