I didn't think it was possible. . .but theres even less hand holding in this game than before. I mean you get a corridor of tutorials that you can totally skip, but christ on a stick throw me a bone FS!
Also - I'm at about 10 deaths, and haven't even gotten to a boss yet. . .good times.
I will say, I am loving some of the changes. . .Lifegems and Estus Flasks seem like a good change to me, and separating leveling up from the bonfire - a masterstroke.

No its not. Instead of just leveling by bonnfire I now must travel from bonnfire to maiden and then travel back again. With fast travel whats the point?

yea, thats pretty pointless and requires longer to level up, maybe its somehow explained in plot but either way - its unnecessary 'clicking'
btw ps3 ver has 125mb patch already + installs itself on hdd (dunno if DS1 required install as well)

This is what happened since yesterday:
1) Constantly pressing F5 waiting for the PS3 release to show up.
2) Scene release! Amazing! Downloading.
3) Installing. Can't wait to start the game!
4) Playing.
5) Died, died, died and then died again.
6) Now playing ETS2...

oh so thats how You level up...
shame graphics afe so fucked up... i played ds1 for 30 minutes on 360 when this was downloading and it looks great. Muvh better than sequel. Either console versions are that bad or some patches are needed.
but even animation, sound design and hit reactions seem worse

Enable BD-Mirror. It might help.

dunno, i didnt enabled anything, info poped via multiman to change it due to the firmware (i use roger 4.46 + new multiman), it changed some stuff and works flawlessly so far.
what i did:
copied files to ftp, installed update via multiman, run it - multiman fixed something, run it again via ps3 menus - works ok.

Don't think it's possible, not sure about JTAG.
Oh and i read that From didn't plan to release title updates in the future, since the game will be ''calibrated server side'', which means they can fix or add small things in the game world that way, without the need of patches (sending them to ms and waiting for release).

Well, after playing some more, I have to say that this is a pretty shitty sequel and a huge letdown.
Visually this looks like shit, even compared to most console titles, especially when compared to Dark Souls 1. The lightning is poor and the models on both characters and environment are shit. There's something off regarding the animations. Rolling and blocking is useless as you still get quite a lot of damage if you block and rolling is so iffy that you might not roll out of an attack.
I'm half way down on my health bar, there's no way to go human, as it tells me I can't use that yet and those giant knights, especially those with two handed weapons, on shot me. You can't parry or backstab them, you get 1 estus flask and you might get killed by one shot, even if you don't the damage you take even if you block those giants wielding two handed weapons is enough to leave you with 5% life. There's no other way to progress and as it is it feels unfair as fuck.
Right now, all the changes made don't feel challenging but cheap as fuck and only serve to make the game seem (artificially) harder, witch is not what DS was about. It was hard, but the mechanics were fair. You could, from your lowest point, springshot back up if you were careful and learn what you were doing.
After playing more than 400 hrs of DS, I'm starting to hate DS2 for all the wrong reasons.

Im hoping they have implemented the new feetures to adjust the gameplay in various reasons not obvious to us yet.
I fought the huge knights after about 5-6 hours of gameplay, then its easier.
The shield is probably not 100% attack resistent. But yeah, the fighting will take some time to get used to. And decisions in what weapon to upgrade seems more important now when one cant farm anymore.
I wouldnt slag it completely yet though, Im sure the world and bosses and new weapons and other cool stuff will be worth it.
Oh, and just use effigies whenever, dont use them by bonnfire.

If that's the ONLY location you can level up then the change is meaningless I agree. However one of my big annoyances was doing a big soul grinding session and then leveling up and having to fight the same enemies again when I just want to run to where I was grinding up in the first place.
Played a couple of hours. . .about to get back into it. I'm not getting the changes either, especially when they aren't explained. My assumption, since beta leaks didn't shit all over the game, is that they even out but the game definitely does feel different in a way that you can't tell if it's good or not. I'm not willing to write the entire thing off just yet.

And for some reason you still want to play it while playing ETS2.

did you manage to fix it? i got exactly the same issue, X for pickup or interacting doesnt work and you dont do any damage, the hits dont even connect when locked on. Reminds me of some weird FADE protection. I also installed the 1.01 patch.
EDIT: apparently moving it to internal seems to help, im gonna try that now.

Maybe try bd mirror as someone suggested. This should bring the same compatibility on both external and internal (aka 100%) : there is no point not to enable bd mirror.

Guys, don't write off the game after 1-2 hours. Apparently there are really cool looking areas and the game have over 40 bosses, which is more than double the amount of previous games.

As I previously wrote enable BD-mirror. You should enable it in every game as cyclone mentioned.
