Anyone getting this? I was completely uninterested when it was announced because the first game was absolute cheeks, but this one seems to be getting glowing reviews.

It's out now if you pay extra, poverty release is on Thursday.

Played it for most of yesterday, its very good, much better than the first game. Runs well, though it did CTD once for me yesterday, combat is smooth, the weapons, shells and world are good. Graphics are exceptional in places and very good everywhere else. Big thumbs up from me
 
I played the demo for this a while back and was impressed, but have been waiting to see what overall reviews say - sounds good to me, have just bought the early-access version so I can get stuck in this evening.
 
The more I read about it the better it sounds. Exploration is apparently great in it. I think I'll pick up the deluxe early access version tonight.

You're certainly rewarded for checking every nook and cranny, dont forget to smack some walls too, there are some hidden walls which need hitting or hitting torches on walls to open a wall etc
 
I downloaded the demo a few weeks ago and loved it, played through it twice and preordered instantly. Peasant edition I'm afraid, so its preloading as we speak.
I think the gameplay flows nicely, and seems to treat the player fairly in combat, I didnt get bored during the generous demo. The art and graphics look excellent. Looking forward to Thursday

I'm the same as OP. Didn't like the first one at all but now find myself interested in this due to reviews. Will keep an eye on it.

i wasnt too keen on the first one until something clicked in my head with a bit of progress and i started to really enjoy it, the main issue was it was to short once i really got into it it was over :P
 
Played the demo. Thought it was really good. Ill be getting it on the 20th. The combat is great, the visuals are great and the gameplay is great.
 
Ok so I played about an hour of the demo, enjoyed it so bought the full game. They've tweaked the difficulty a bit between the demo and the full release. Feels like everything's hitting for double the damage :p
 
I've found it easier than many souls games, the 2 lives nature of the shells, combined with the ranged attacks and a very generous parry/block window has made it feel easier to me. Though there are ingame items which allow you to increase or decrease the difficulty as well
