Giant_Aspirin 02/08/18 10:13:57 AM #1:	i think im near the end of the first area. i just found the bench and unlocked the shortcut to the top. i see what looks like a boss room on the map very close to me but i haven't gone that way yet. really like the atmosphere and the music so far. really like the sense of exploration as well .the jump mechanics seem a bit 'floaty' though and i hear the platforming gets intense later, so im not sure about that. haven't had any troubles yet, i haven't died once. --- Playing: Dark Souls III (PC) *(~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~)* <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:895696646] in started Ho...
