Dark Souls

[B5C]

The devs claim it's much harder than their own Demon Souls.

Well this is all I am going to say about this:

Well, you need to be careful. Difficulty alone does not make a better game. That said, I LOVED Demons' Souls, and so I will keep an eye on this.

Well old NES games are much more of a challenge than today's games of save files and auto saves. I some what miss those challenges.

Hmm interesting.
Well it sounds good and a day 1 buy for me on PS3.
Really like the sound of more exploration.
Of course there is still the chance they will screw everything up.

PC please.

[Thanatos]

PC please.

Knowing how Demons' Souls played... I would say that PC is something that would not work, unless you had a controller. Trust me on this.

People always say the same thing about Assassin's Creed but I still had a lot of fun playing it.

Demons' Souls is nothing like Assassin's Creed. Trust me. Fighting the Maneaters on world 3-3 on NG++ difficulty was hard enough as it was having the best controls in the world on a controller. The fact that you make these statements make it only too obvious that you've never played DS in the first place. Keyboard? Don't make me laugh.

Secondly, another reason why it most likely will not come to the PC is that like DS, it will probably be using the strange multiplayer system that DS had, seeing how it is DS2 in all but name. The only way the game could work is if everyone ran off of FromSoftware's servers, and I don't believe they have the money for that and the PS3.

Either way, a port is unlikely.

Hurts to say it but a console is....inevitable.
If I don't want to miss out on some really interesting games.
Sadly kick-ass games like God of War and Demon Souls are PS3 exclusive.
I prefer the Xbox controller from experience.

I loved Demon's Souls and this looks awesome, a definite buy for me if it's on PC, a maybe if it's only PS3.

[Manoflooks]

Demon's souls was an amazing game, or so it seems based on the first level. I wouldn't know anything else, seeing as it was the only bloody one I could beat...I think I'll stay away from this game.

Dark Souls is multiplatform, so you will be able to play is on the 360.

Always something.
Regarding what I spoke earlier of is a future topic.
Until then, fare thee well.

General info and gameplay.



One of the few guys who doesn't seem to suck too bad and actually gets to the boss.

Looks really nice. Bonfires are a nice addition (they regenerate health and MP but make the small enemies you killed respawn).

Hopefully this one won't take forever to get to Australia.

Or Europe.

Right, i just watched some Demon Souls gameplay on youtube.

After seeing a thousand arguments with PS3 owners talking about the PS3 exclusive games... they always mention really rubbish games.

This... this looks amazing! There was some other PS3 exclusive game, i forgot what, nobody ever mentioned it but it looked brilliant.
Who is picking what games you brag about?! They're picking the wrong ones!

[Ulyaoth]

Meh. Demon's souls wasn't really difficult, the combat wasn't too hard as far as I played, which admittedly was very early in the game, but I just remember being aggravated by the stupid cheap things like suddenly being blown apart by some bunch of boxes suddenly bursting into fire and making me lose thousands of experience, or seeing and item and trying to get it only to find there's no way out of the little ledge you went to then other than falling and losing your experience. No pausing is just flat out retarded.

[Kamos]

It really wasn't difficult when you applied thought and proceeded carefully. It's not a game for recklessness.
I think that's where many people may have encountered problems.

[Steve Holt]

I saw this one guy who was doing a play through of the entire game without equipping anything new and without un equipping anything, he did it as a knight was quite funny.
