from software is a perfect example great development.... A team that stuck to what they know, built a fanbase, slowly expanded on gameplay, while sticking to their guns, what they do best, and achieving greatness... Knew they had the ability to finally go open world, and seemingly nailed it.... can't wait to livestream this.

I'm a samurai and have purposefully went off course and it's been amazing. So far I've stumbled upon a dragon and fought a pumpkin head boss in a random dungeon. Fought dozens of weird things along the way. I've loved every minute of it! Great game!

IGN y'all are funny for this one lol. 15 things the game doesn't tell you. I'm pretty sure there's about 300 things a Fromsoftware game doesn't tell you 😂😂

[xserenadex]

The "Encounters trigger when fast travel..." section is wrong. The time of day triggers those NPC events, not fast traveling. "If for whatever reason she doesn't appear..." It's because she's only there at night...

The jump attack is so awesome. And so much more forgiving than the rally mechanic in Bloodborne or the partying in Sekiro.

3:52 The game absolutely DOES tell you this.

[OmniscientSloth]

You get Rune Arcs for beating bosses while summoned. I’ve been farming easy bosses as a summon to get a bunch. Plus you get to help with the struggle lol

[SwetyBoi]

One of the only games where not telling you something is a feature

[CristianMartinez-oltp]

Learning not to use square to attack was a challenge 😂

[aligillani]

Some of them really are the things which many don't know unlike other similar videos on other channels.

[davidguerra]

Just want to say they do tell you about the springs and the fall damage as a tooltip

[iHaveTheDocuments]

Learn what the quick item pouch thing is and how to use it, so you're not cycling through your horse and different healing flasks and such.

To the people who read the comments before watching the entire video:
Stop watching!! These games are best to explore for yourself. Especially during your first playthrough. That's the magic of the souls games. Learning from your mistakes, discovering new areas, items and enemies. Stop playing these games ( or any game actually) with a guide by your side. It ruins your whole (first) experience when you already know everything in advance.
Happy gaming!

Rena appears at night specifically. Save your runes.

[Tk.Wander]

The game actually does tell you alot of the things on your list. You just have to read lol.

[Gorlami]

So the help button actually tells you what everything is? Who knew

[cheetochapstick]

Im so mad those springs don't deal fall damage. Thank you for including details that may be braindead obvious to some; I'm 46 hours in and had no idea how to reach that shoreline.

“15 things the game that hasn’t released yet doesn’t tell you!”

[twiztidchris]

It's the best game I've ever played.

Game of The Year 4 sure :D = Epic Game
