Dark Souls crosses 2.3 million sales

It's not about being a "hardcore nerd" at all just patience and studying enemy tactics, sure at the beginning you'll die lots but after you get stuff down your deaths become few and farther apart. In my opinion even if you hate the doing the main story the pvp alone makes it worth buying.

It plays quite different from dark souls that the player and world have tendencies, if you die you lose half your life bar until defeating an area boss, and you don't have bonfires but shortcuts when you've fully explored a worlds section. Also the graphics on demons souls look much more polished. A similar game in most aspects but very different in others. All in all I love them both equally.

@oOhedzOo Demon Souls is widely regarded as the harder of the two. I prefer Dark Souls but if your a fan of the series, play the first.

@bryanj2006 Btw, that's not even true. Demon's Souls had global sales of 1.69 million as of this month. Way to state things as fact without any shred of evidence, though. http://www.vgchartz.com/game/31689/demons-souls/

@bryanj2006 Said no one....ever. One of the biggest letdowns? Sure about that? lol smh

@bryanj2006 Dark Souls isn't a sequel to Demon's Souls. It's a spiritual successor.

@bryanj2006 - Likely Bethesda employee unhappy with the fact Dark Souls > Skyrim. You must be disappointed that the player in Dark Souls does more than the sign of the cross when fighting compared to Skyrim.

@bryanj2006 You're the first I've ever read say that.......

@bryanj2006 I've rarely read bad things about Dark Souls. Maybe "A lot" really means "I".

@DarkNeoBahamut When I first played Demon's Souls I died countless times and struggled through the first three levels. then I took a step back and learned a lot about the game and how to play and was able to beat 5 areas in a row without dying one. The game isn't too hard as long as you think about what you are doing.

@DarkNeoBahamut so basically we can beat the game easily if we spend a lo of time following a game guide.

@DarkNeoBahamut Manus is only the last boss of the DLC :P but nice work I waited to see you use the silver pendant cause I had tough times timing it but you did well.

@alwin8695 If possible, play it for the PS3. The community is larger and more active because of Demons Souls.

@alwin8695 If you buy for pc it won't be playable until you download some fixes. check the forums. it really is the worst port to pc I have ever played. I think I'll just wait and hopefully the dev does a much better job with pc this time round. That said, it's a great game .

@alwin8695 Get it trust me you won't be disappointed

@alwin8695 Dark Souls is as lively as it gets. There are still tons of people who play Demon's, you can be sure Dark Souls is very active.
