Is the framrate on Xb1 like demon souls as well? That might be the determing factor if I double purchase or wait for the PC version.
Yeah its 30 fps. Feels like Bloodborne.

Streamers have the PC version and it seems fine so far so I would wait for that one if you absolutely need 60fps.

Load times are fine tho, unlike BB at launch.



So far I love this game, it just feels right again. I could immediately tell when I went into Dark Souls 2 that it wasn't the same.

Well I buckled, and bought it on the Xbox one as well. Consider this my patronage to one of the greatest games of all times

Can confirm it works in English, and it cost 72 bucks.

Game is amazing. It's like Demon Souls, but your character moves quicker.
What do you mean it's like Demon's Souls? Apologies if every preview has made the answer obvious, but I haven't wanted to spoil the game. But since a poster on my favorite internet haunt is already playing it, I can't help but ask.

Not in any way impugning your claim that it's like Demon's Souls. I just wanna know what you mean, since on some days it's my favorite entry in the series.

I haven't got that far yet, but it feels demon souly with how the Fire Shrine is set up etc, but you can't travel to any world from the start like that game.

Dark Souls and Demon souls didn't move this fast tho.

I thought I would mind the fast speed ,but it really doesn't bother me.

Anyone worried it might play like BB you don't have to worry. It is definitely a souls game.

How do you actually purchase it? The link suggests buying Yen somehow, but I don't see the way to do so.

There is a bunch of convulted guides on Neogaf right now, but I used this one, and it worked for me

You have to make dummy accounts, and use Google translate abit so it's kind of a pain in the ass.

For the address you can just google any Japanese address, and it would be wise to not do this on your main Xbox account.

Yeah I made it to the japanese marketplace but I only see yen cards for 2000 and 1000. Hmm.

Edit: Just said fuck it and bought 8000 Yen worth of cards from the 2000 selection. According to PayPal it was successful. Now I'm waiting for the codes from the store to finish processing.

Here is the link

Once you have your codes follow the last two steps of the guide I posted, and it will start downloading on your Xbox when you log that Dummy account in.

Alright, on the second to last part. Finding DS3 in the japanese store haha.

It looks like DS3 is no longer in the store linked? I went through all 108 items and did not see it.
I'm actually afraid to switch my region again on my account otherwise I'd help you look.

It should be with all the other digital games. There will be a bunch of thumbnails that look like game covers

make sure you are switching the xbox live store not the microsoft store

This is the link you want to be at when you change it to japanese

It appears to be gone. There is def no Dark Souls 3 on the list and when I search it there is no result.

Got it bro's. Going to finish the DL and then cut the internet on my bone. Many props to Column; I'd give you nets but idk if you want to lose the -69 status.

30 FPS gaming glory awaits.
