NO DARK SOULS FANS IN HERE? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

Sweet ... I'd like to try! :D Prepare to die! ...... again!!!!!!!!

I wish I would get a code, beta sounds like an excellent opportunity to invade and troll developers and famous community figures.

Can't wait for this shit. Someone remind me about Sept. 5. Be awesome to get in on the beta.

Beta? I didn't know that this series needed that but count me in

My body isn't ready

I'm marking the 5th on my calender!

GOTY 2014.

I dont think I would want to spoil the game for myself by doing something like this. I havent really watched any media of the game knowing that Im buying it day 1.
