Turned up this morning and just installed it and played for the first 30 mins or so.
First up, the server wasn't online when I started, so no phantoms, messages or any of that yet.
So anyway, this is Dark Souls. Following a fairly long intro, which doesn't give away much, you're dumped into the first area, totally alone. So very alone. There's a real sense of loneliness and solitude here. Had an aimless wander round the area, nosing into various nooks and crannies. Came across some ominous-looking footprints and stupidly decided to follow them... popped up the first achievement soon after.
Not much else to say for the time being, as I won't get a proper game till later this afternoon, but for now, this is the Dark Souls you know and love. Looks great too, though there's a fair bit of tearing and some vsync issues right from the off (I'm playing on 360).
Really looking forward to getting properly stuck in.
