Mine arrived yesterday so I had a play last night and didn't like it. I'm not sure why but I couldn't get used to the controls/combat. It's the first souls game I've played really. I played Bloodborne and loved that but this feels so much different. Also I much preferred the setting of Bloodborne, darker and better atmosphere imo.
I had another go this morning and maybe it will grow on me but I was expecting to be gripped last night and that didn't happen.

Keep at it, it will probably click at some point
I put about 2/3 hours in last night, took 3 attempts on the first boss slightly annoying but i was using the xbox streaming to laptop, 3 attempt i used the Tv as normal and much better.
Vordt though i killed first attempt, took about 3 minutes to do which was a surprise, loving it so far and cant wait to get more hours in.

I'm taking my time with it just now. I've only just got the first shortcut opened lol Dunno how far i am from the boss

Pyro is a good choice IMO as the fire spell is very handy to start. I went mercenary for the twinblade and reasonably balanced stats

Finally finished off the last area I needed, the boss was a PITA. I won't be bothering with NG+ that's for sure, don't think my blood pressure could handle it 
I managed to get the latest calibrations for the first time on Xbox, but not once did i see a summon sign.
Also bought the tower key for 20k souls and collected the items up there, plus the items on the far tower which you have to jump down, one of which is a Estus ring and give extra HP when estus is used.
Made my way through the woods and now onto Farrons keeps, one enemy on the way completely ruins me though, so after a few tries I've left it for later.
Beat the cursed rotted Greatwood 2nd attempt, it's not that hard, but the tricky bit is hitting the boils i found not locking on helped loads.

I played it a little more last night, I can't figure out how to kill the knights properly. Sometimes I'll kill them easily next time I'll get hammered.. not sure what I'm doing right or wrong but they are annoying!

Of course it is, it's a Hidetaka Miyazaki game
I'm thinking how long it took to start blood borne..

Not sure why Im putting myself through this after Bloodbourne nearly driving me crazy, but I bought this yesterday. Spent ages trying to get past the first damn boss then went back to and breezed through it, odd.
The bonfires do seem few and far between. Im spending a lot of time treading the same ground. Spent ages getting through loads of people, knights dogs, then walked up to tiny sleeping dude who got up and chucked a bomb at me, dead instantly
. The grind goes on.....
Determined not to give up on this as quick as I did with Bloodbourne though.
Think ill finish off Division, really enjoying that, then have another stab at this.

Likewise, felt like there are definitely more shortcuts and checkpoints than Bloodborne.
