Demons Souls isn't as hard as everyone puts it out to be. It is hard at FIRST, but then as you play you begin to memorize enemy patterns, trap placements and such. It reminded me of an old NES game in a way, I hope this game delivers on a similar premise. I do like the idea of it being open ended this time around, that means your never safe which could make for some chilling romps through it's eerie land.

Yea, it's not as hard as people make it out to be... but I did get stuck and quit. Mainly because I forced pure black tendency and those stupid shadow guys that shoots laser always kill me in 2 hits.


I guess I could just farm those death guys further, but... I got bored of that.



Shouldn't this be in hardcore gaming?

Roll directly towards them and keep rolling. You'll make it.

Perhaps to HG101, since it's technically not a CV topic.

I was making a crack about Demon's/Dark Souls doing a far better job of upholding the quality and spirit of Castlevania than Castlevania itself these days.

That's definitely true.  Other games are picking up the slack, these days.

YEs, or at least a mature depiction, without cinematic reference (Lord of the Rings) and marketing. I like that the Dark/Demon's Souls team doesn't give a SHIT!

I sort of know how to beat them, but the game gets very hectic when you can get owned in two hits... I usually try to kill em and I end up falling or getting hit by someone else. I need to get better weapons against them but I keep missing those stinkin slugs, they run away too fast for me. I've only managed to kill like 3 .. maybe.

You know what? I played Demon's Souls and I really liked it, but I couldn't get past the difficulty, so I sold it last year. I think I'm going to try it again.

I disagree, while the previous game is awesome and this game looks to exceed it, it is a grindfest. The first one, if not this one as well, was not the best type of grind either imo, since you are pretty limited in what you can do, and you can't sell your things, which added to the grinding.

The only problem i've got with the original was, that every time i died, i had to start all over the stage, but this wouldn't be so annoying, if it wasn't to lose every soul(experience) you have gained with so much trouble........and to top that, after soul level 80 and on, you need ridiculus amounts of souls to get level up your statistics..........

I have played it through normal and made it almost to the end, but it was a Headache......so. i started a new profile and used the trick to multiply the consumables souls at will and finish the game!!! Even so, still it was hard, because of some ridiculus stage designs, causing you to fall to your death.......

Anyways, i'm looking forward to the sequel!!! :)

Slayer - I gave up on it like a year ago as well. Then someone said, it REALLY starts after you beat level 1-1. And it's true. After you beat it, you then have all the other levels open to try, and there are some great levels, monsters and items. Still the game is haaaard. But it's funny, it feels like 1-1 is one of the hardest so far.

Kale - I see what you are saying. To me, it is a hardcore, no bullshit, difficult game, and brings me back to playing those old 2D adventure games, where they didn't hold your hand or give you save spots every 5 minutes. Also, the highs and sense of accomplishment I felt in Demon's Souls, are the best I can remember in years. I actually yelled out YES!, when finally beating a boss, or getting a bad ass weapon.

Dark Nemesis - Cool. yeah, it is pretty insane, though I like how you can REGAIN your soul, as well as see other player's messages or moments. I have had some pissed off moments in losing a major amount of souls. I just think the game is awesome how you can die on a stupid beginner level enemy, if you don't play smart. You can't just go into anything swinging and button mashng..very realistic. And I love all the animations for the different weapons.. really slick.

Not saying it isn't a good game by any means, but if it was less grindy I'd probably like it better. And I actually do grindy games, but the grind in demons souls is beyond ridiculous imo. Like Dark Nemesis said, after a certain level, the numbers of souls needed is ridiculous. The other thing that annoyed me is it was almost impossible to effectively control the tendencies because there are few and far in between events that changes it.

After soul level 230 you need 500.000+ souls for a level up..........you'll have to storm the whole game to get that amount of souls to level up your character..... :P
