I guess somebody's mad they can't play the game.
>Dark Souls Ⅲ (PS4) game server failure, was found to be due to attacks from outside. It takes a considerable amount of time in this correspondence. I am sorry to everyone for your use, but thank you for your cooperation to play in offline mode
Good.
>buttmad PCucks ruin the game for everyone
>>332114707
Pretty much this. Everything turns to shit when PC gets their hands on it.
>>332114707
Seems familiar
But the game doesn't even have online right now.
>>332114364
>I guess somebody's mad they can't play the game.
And they should be. Not that it justifies DDoS attacks, but they've released the game earlier in Japan, given it to Streamers early (for free as far as I know) and I think there's a leaked/pirated version. Meanwhile, the legit pre-orderer who paid out the asshole has to wait another 2 and a half weeks or whatever.
>>332116678
Are PC users mentally ill
I'm not seeing the problem... From Software/Namco Bandai shouldn't have fucked over 2/3rds of the fucking world by releasing it only in Japan
>>332118118
When autistic NEETs find autistic niches for their autistic hobbies, they tend to act that way.
>>332116825
It does in Japan.
Well, not right now, since the servers are down
>>332114364
Good.
Fuck Bamco.
>>332114651
>it is good that some people can not play a portion of a video game I dislike for a myriad of highly opinionated reasons
Full retard
>>332117248
>pirated version
Tell me more about it
>>332118634
Fucking over everyone else in the world besides Japan with one of the most highly anticipated games of the year is perfectly fine?
>>332118813
It was made in Japan. Production and distribution of american copies is not complete. Yes, it is fine and always has been. It is not being delayed for some obscure, irredeemable reason
>>332119024
Except it's available digitally on every medium in Japan, and in every language. The voice acting is all in English to begin with. This is clearly a fiscal year thing.
>>332119106
Even if digital was half of their sales, they can not release without copies available for release and at least a second run of distribution. Have you ever worked in a production chain?
>>332119024
So was Bloodboner and it got released in NA first.
Bamco are a bunch of dick lickers.
Especially when you consider most nips don't own decent PCs or next gen consoles.
They deserve it after pearl harbor and after Bamco let literally who streamers into the game
Faggots fuck em all.
>>332119024
Distribution is not the reason. The Xbone download loophole has proved that the English version of the game is 100% complete. This delayed US release was just a big marketing test for them. They're holding out on it so that all the wannabe streamers can shill it for free.
>>332119251
Inaccurate, in that musicians have been doing day one digital only distribution with an option to buy physical copies later in order to prevent piracy for years. It's so they can drum up sales, end of story. When a company does shit that alienates a portion of the userbase in an effort to drum up hype, they are using a marketing tactic that, while effective, is exploitative and abusive to the enduser. It's okay to not appreciate exploitative marketing.
>>332119410
Bloodborne was release 2 days after the US release in JP. It was also a single platform game, requiring far less logistical work to get all variations of copies available
>>332119632
the loophole only applies to digital copies. I didn't say the game wasn't complete, i said it takes time to make and distribute the discs for a first at second run, at least. the US is also obviously a much larger territory
It's a much more sound reasoning then "they are keeping from us because they are dicks, and also obscure marketing reason"
>>332119824
but that isn't what is happening here. you can't buy DS3 digitally. It's a territory split, not a digital/physical one. The music example also relies on aggressive marketing, which isn't happening with DS3
>>332120078
I never suggested they're keeping it from us "because they are dicks". Distribution is just an excuse, but marketing clearly has a huge part in it.
>>332120341
>>332120078
That screenshot was from yesterday, but here's a more up to date look at the viewer counts for this game in case you're still unconvinced.
>>332114364
Good. Hopefully it lasts all the way until it releases out here. I feel sorry for the japanese players, but fuck bamco.
How long until the game leaks so I can pirate it?
I don't want to give Bandai money.
>>332114364
maybe next time they'll know better than to give fucking chincks 3 week headstart and pcfag redditors early copies they refuse to leak
>>332120810
2 weeks
>>332120810
won't leak
>>332118813
It doesn't matter, innocent Japanese players shouldn't suffer because of publisher decisions. This makes consumers in the west look like fuckwits
>>332121071
Hey, we don't know who's doing it. For all we know, it's a disgruntled gook.
>>332114364
Leave it to the modern day pcfags to be this pathetic.
Why don't they release fucking digital early? Why do I have to wait for console babbies to get their CDs.
>>332121310
True actually, we should take it into account
>>332121419
the series exists because of consoles stupid pc clown
>>332121419
ho boy
I'd actually love them to release the PC version now. I'd fucking love it, after all the whining
The amount of threads complaining the game isn't finished would be insane
You'd better fucking hope they fix this shit
>>332118118
Nah, im on pc and could care less. I dont like the Souls series.
>>332121372
Hey is not our fault that we know how to put togheter a PC.
Consolefags only know how to press the pwer button.
>game based on western culture
>release it to cat eaters first
What do they expect?
>>332122061
>Implying PCfats aren't the same exact retards
>Implying 90% of them don't play games on shitty laptops and 9% on prebuilts
>>332118118
The sad fact is that the internet is filled with mentally ill people. 4chan has very little control over these people posting here.
>>332122171
fuck off, we don't eat cats.
dogs are delicious though
>It's a "console children tell spooky stories about the super scary PC master race elitists who are out to destroy everything by having standards." thread.
Bamco are being cocks by not releasing the game already, making fans wait 3 weeks kind of ruins the game by having everything be already discovered or spoiled.
>>332122171
>game made by japanese devs
>released to japanese first
Sounds like the norm to me. It sucks but what else do eops expect.
>>332122220
Is this what consoletards tell themselves to make them feel better about their own technical limitations?
>>332122741
I expect them to not be faggots.
We live in a time where poverty stricken Polacks can release a game in 20 languages without issue.
Japan needs to get its shit together.
Good.
Giving Jewtubers copies 3 fucking weeks in advanced so their faggot fans can post sooilers was a retarded idea.
precious american tears the thread
>>332114651
this
Don't care about Japan getting the game early, but faggot western streamshits getting free copies and leaking the whole game out on youtube a month before release is the pinnacle of horseshit in modern gaming. I hope this cancerous practice gets all the shit it deserves, so that it doesn't become an industry standard.
I sorta feel that Bamco had logistical and production woes when it came to distribution of this game, so they tried to turn this misstep into an advantage by giving streamers advance copies to build up hype.
I mean, I think they could have forced From to publish the nip version around the same time as the rest of the world if they really wanted to, but decided to go this route instead
I'm not really happy with this choice but what can you do
>>332123169
This, good thing Dark Souls isn't a story heavy game otherwise I'd have to quit the fucking internet for a month thanks to those chodes.
>>332120507
over half of those viewers are from one streamer who was given a free copy. he played as much of that copy as he was allowed and then instantly switched over to xbox version and is just going to finish the whole game while 30k people watch making an utter joke out of the restrictions placed on him.
>console peasants surprised that Sony Network is being DDoS'd like it has a bajillion times before
>>332114364
>>332116678
God, what the fuck is wrong with Souls fans?
>>332114364
Why the fuck the japs get the game first? Do they want another nuke?
Fine by me.
>>332123484
git gud
>>332123484
Every fanbase has its retards but for some reason dark souls has attracted a special breed of idiot.
Most of the community is better than other games but people who act shitty act really really shitty.
>>332122009
Exactly. You could care less meaning you care. Faggot
>>332123169
this x1000
if its some gaijin doing it just because japan got it early then fuck them
literally brought it upon themselves
It's the fucking ultimate super crystallized salt diamond.
>Joined late.
>Cucked out of the best game in the series by consolites.
>Getting cucked by streamers and e-celebs again, while even Xboners can fire up the Jap version and PS4 players can import.
The sodium has reached levels so high some PC microdicks took matters into their own chubby hands and decided to attack the developers of the very game they want to punish them (?).
>>332124275
Early or not, you'll still never play DS3 in 60fps.
>>332123638
>Every fanbase has its retards but for some reason dark souls has attracted a special breed of idiot.
oh fuck off
every single fucking fanbase is complete cancer
>>332114364
Eat shit and die, Fromsoft. Learn to release games globally next time instead of MUH PRECIOUS NIP EXCLUSIVITY PERIOD
>>332114364
Serves the gooks right for delaying launch and giving streamers the game first.
>mfw spring break is about to end and I won't have time to play the game until summer
Whoever is doing this should keep up the good work until April worldwide release.
>>332124381
>Poor mustard can't afford a gaming PC and pickup some peasent hardware.
Sorry microdick, but we're not all as poor as you or the Sonyggers.
Good. Fuck Japan elitism.
america bombing those servers with traffic
>>332114364
lol is this the first time you had to wait for a game that's already been out?
>>332119632
>The Xbone download loophole has proved that the English version of the game is 100% complete.
PC copies have been in streamer hands for a week as well and the game is 100%, even the server work (despite claims that NA servers weren't up yet)
>>332114364
Consider it recompense for giving those faggots the game 3 weeks early.
Boo hoo, you can't play multiplayer. I can't play it at all.
>>332122967
Oops, my bad, pic is not accurate. It is actually more complex than building a PC. At least with this kid's toy you have to look at all sides.
Its like bragging that you can count to 3 when pathetic console faggots can only count to 2. There is no reason to brag about either.
>>332123074
>poverty stricken Polacks
you mean wealthy game developer that also publishes its own games and is funded by the literal polish government
>japan starts shit by giving themselves the game early
>weeb defense force comes to the rescue to defend glorious nippon when the rest of the world throws a punch back
im fucking told you we need >>>/vpc/ these retards fucker are from /rpcmasterrace
autist need its own board like /vp/
>>332125208
What did you meme by this?
>>332123484
>God, what the fuck is wrong with pcucks?
ftfy
>>332125208
exactly, all this le pc master race meme, ugh, go back to that cancerous reddit shit site.
Is this your first Japanese game ever? Holy shit the butthurt in this thread is stupid. People have been dealing with early nip releases for decades. Hell, even the Japanese have late releases with western games.
Fucking mustards.
AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR AND THE GOOKS WILL FEEL OUR REVENGE
>>332125959
FUCK YEAH!
PC release was a mistake.
>>332121542
Last I checked, digital games aren't exclusive to PC, fucking retard.
PS4 already had hackers sprouting up.
This is a good purge.
>>332123323
>but faggot western streamshits getting free copies and leaking the whole game out on youtube
Your fault if you see any of it. You're not forced to watch videos.
>Sonycucks attack their own
Sad tbqh
>>332126970
Would be fine if spoilers weren't be posted all over the catalog.
Like going back to anor londo and the last boss being the chosen undead.
>>332126970
>you're not forced to watch it
>you're not forced to buy the dlc
>you're not forced to buy a falsely advertised game
I wish this meme argument would die, it's killing the industry.
>>332126970
streamshits are other type of cancer, indie games are not being bought because the freaking game is being streamed entirely. Specially interactive movie-games.
>>332127021
Do you know how DDOS works? They use computers, not PS4's anon... Are you saying every PS4 owner is part of the idort race?
>>332123638
High highs, extremely low lows
Guys, it's delayed for corporate reasons, not spite.
They want the game in the 2015 fiscal year profits in Japan due to low general game industry performance overall in Japan, but want to keep it in the 2016 fiscal year for blockbuster value in the rest of the world.
Fiscal year rolls over April 1st. March fiscal year 2015 for Japan, April fiscal year 2016 for everyone else.
It's not delayed for any other reason.
>>332127372
But anon, this is a good thing. If you want to make a movie, make a movie. If you want to make a game, obviously you need to make the gameplay satisfying enough to convince people to buy the game instead of watching the game be played. Also, most indie games are shovelware, so you need some sort of way to identify them. Are you saying shovelware should be supported?
>>332123638
Sonic, Undertale, Five Night at Freddy's, Minecraft, these are the most shitiest and cringiest fanbases of all time, no exception among them, all faggots.
>>332127497
Sonic's arms are blue.
>>332127578
What about the other 11 days?
>>332127876
You never release things that close to the roll over of a fiscal year.
Lets say they release the game April 2nd
It's a book keeping nightmare since you will end up having to report things like cost of transportation of physical game copies to the stores (On March 27th for example) as a 2015 expense, but then the game sales (On April 2nd) count as 2016 profits.
>>332127120
you just fucking spoiled it you retard
kill yourself
i mad
>>332127745
Knuckle's dick is red?
Salt from whiny faggots on /v/ is probably what's overloading their servers.
>>332128227
He wasn't drawn with a dick so obviously he doesn't have one.
>>332128184
Good then lets say 6th april. I do not believe that it takes 2 full weeks to transport physical games. Not if you do it for the 200th time. Don't tell me that they use the slowest possible shipment method in existence to save money.
