I saw some Dark Souls 3 footage, and that made me go back and play Demon's Souls, for some reason.
Trying a pure melee, pure strength build right now (Damn World 4 manta rays, rrrgghh). I have a Crushing Battle Axe +3 that works pretty well...sometimes I like to switch out with a Blessed Mace for Stonefang Tunnel and other places, so I might (but probably won't) put some points in faith later on.
The concept of World Tendency was pretty awesome in theory, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to manipulate. I mean, it's fairly easy to get pure black world tendency, but I wish they would've made more ways to get pure white. Either that, or I wished I better understood the concept initially. Kinda sucks that I've essentially missed out on some NPC's and items.
