I hope at least some of you played Demon's Souls? It is hard as fuck, but thick with mood, CV'ish at times..

-
pick up Demon's Souls. Its only on PS3. But nothing is better in terms of action RPG.

I play...ed.... demon souls. Good game, but lots of annoyances and enemies that hit way too strong. It wouldn't be too bad if you could more easily change the alignment but you are too limited... so it annoyed me after a while that I quit.
It's somewhat hard... but a lot easier than people seem to think.
EDIT: That said... i hope this game improves on it. Like being able to pause, cuz playing at work.... sucks without it.

What's demon souls?
and how is it like castlevania?

watch videos, you will see.

A very dark game, with limited motion. Demon souls also have some crazy instant death platforming.
-
Very nice, I'm quite excited for this as I don't have PS so didn't get to play Demon Souls. I do have 360 though and this one is for both! Hopefully it's not as hard as I hear Demon Souls is. Call me a skill-less gamer, but I'd rather scream less at my television!
-
Demons Souls is SOOO HARD! I hear it's becuase the devs were hardcore, plus, they didnt have time to QA the game with average gamers.. but this next game should fix that :)
-
they just said that the sequel will increase the difficulty :o

I can't wait for this! Demon's Souls was awesome good!
...And yes Dark Souls will be harder than Demon's Souls. Q&A with the games' director: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/02/04/dark-souls-qa-variety-is-the-spice-of-death/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dark_souls-qa_020411 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/02/04/dark-souls-qa-variety-is-the-spice-of-death/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dark_souls-qa_020411)

That sucks, I don't want to throw my controller through my tv! Why can't they have different difficulty levels like most games?
-
^The game does. You have to adjust it with gameplay though. Like I mentioned though, it is limited to get the easier game. Of course, if you're good enough to farm in the harder side, you can get stronger much easier. ...... It's too bad I dont' have the patience for it. Been trying to move on in shrine of storms under pure black conditions. Kept on getting killed by laser beams.
-
I too am looking forward to this game. I recently got into Demon's Souls and this looks incredible to say the least. A few of my buds are pissed that it's no longer PS3 exclusive but honestly, I could care less and hey now more people will get to play it and experience a possibly great experience. Plus they said that they are going to make it more open ended than Demon's Souls, which I would like to see.
-
Dude... nice sprite sig.
Anywho...angry about it being no longer exclusive.... geez.... people really need to get over this.
Dark souls sounds like Diablo 2 in the way that Diablo 2 progressed. D1, one base connected to all places, Demons souls same. Diablo 2 multiple bases... likewise, dark souls multiple bases.
-

but as stated above.. it does!
Magic & Shield = Easy mode.
Strong shield and good spear = Normal mode.
2 handed sword = Hard Mode.
and when you come to understand the game mechanichs the game gets a lot more easier..
It's really like Castlevania I kind of difficult, analyse situations, learn the maps by trial and error, patience and timing is essential, never rush uinless you know exactly what you are doing, etc etc etc...
if you beated castlevania I then you can beat demon's souls!
oh.. and a protip.. get a shield.. even if you are using bows :P .
-
Actually, I meant... the pure black pure / white thing.
-
oh, that thing XD Still is easier and faster to get a PBWT than a PWWT which it kinda... screws the point?, also usually you gain PWWT when you have killed almost all the bosses (if not all) so.. uhmm..
-
Dude... nice sprite sig.
Thanks :)
Honestly, I am going to miss the whole Tendencies system of the game. It gave the game a creepy feeling, especially when you got to encounter black phantom enemies/players more frequently and the regular enemies got even tougher. It was a welcome challenge that most games didn't have. Though I kinda got annoyed by player black phantoms constantly going into me and my friend's game and destroying us due to him being at a ridiculous soul level and kicking my lv 58 ass.
-
I didn't hate the system, I hated the fact that you are limited to chances and choices to change it.
-
Demon's Souls isn't that hard guys. You just can't go in and try bum rushing everything you see. The game actually requires a bit of thought unlike most recent games to come out in this generation. You don't like the old school death system? You die, you start from the fucking beginning. Bitch.
-
Not quite oldschool. You dont have a set number of lives for one. You never get sent all the way back to the beginning for another, just that section.
It's just too grindy for me, and I don't mind most grind too much.
-
Can't wait till this comes out. 8)
-
Glad to hear you can adjust the difficulty, and thanks for letting me know guys. Though I hope normal 'sword and shield' is do able. In any case I checked out some screen shots on RPGfan and wow it looks incredible. Might be worth buying just to look at it! There appears to be a very scary large rat in the game, horrifying.
-
Dark souls... hasn't mentioned difficulty changing yet. I did hear they take out tendency, which is changing difficulty through gameplay, so it won't be the same. I dunno about this new one, but sword and shield works best as far as i can tell, with my game.
I'm stuck though, since I don't want to farm for exp or items to make weapons that deal more dmg to the enemies i currently face.

I'll assume you play with sword and shield... you ca get the best 1hand sword and armor (for warrior/knight imo) w/o really farming. For the sword you just need the Pureblood Demon's Soul killing Maiden Astraea at The Valley of Defilement (World 5-3) and a Broken Sword you can get from Dreglings rare drop at Word 1-1/1-2 or you will find as 1 of the items in the Word 5-2, now go with blacksmith Ed and you can create the Blueblood, and the Brushwood Armor is droped by Biorr or near Executioner Miralda at Word 1-1 (PWWT or PBWT).

eh, i was saving area 5 for last because it seemed kinda boring....
-
I got the first one a while back, but haven't played it yet. It sounds pretty exciting, but I haven't been in the mood to get my ass kicked lately, I guess. Same reason I haven't touched the new Ninja Gaiden games, but still want to get around to playing them.
I think I might give it a spin after I finish Dragon Age, though. This thread has me excited now.

Other than maybe 4-1(so many black phantom attacks for me there :() I can say that any part of area 5 annoyed the living crap out of me. Mainly 5-2 with that damn swamp....and those damn rats that plague you. If you do go there, I recommend you go there with a lot of poison curing items(and maybe a few plague curing items...just in case).
