I agree with the topic, the game is ruthless. I'm on the first level, I thought I was finally doing good then BAM demon-knight-thing wrecks me in one hit and I'm back to the beginning of the level.

The game was tough while I was figuring it out, but now it is super easy. I can clear most levels in 10-20 minutes and never die on bosses anymore. The trick is finding a healthy mix of range and stealth. Bows, thief's ring and one-time revival are your best friends. Great game though, and glad you are enjoying it.

I'm looking forward to adding Demon Souls to my collection. But alas, it will have to wait for the US version. I only import games if its the last resort.

finally about to get to new game ++ on my 2nd character and just trying to get all the pure white tendencies in dungeon 5 so I can be done worrying about world tendecies.

definitely buying another version when it comes out in the U.S. as a keepsake :>. might even buy a strategy guide too just for ***** and giggles :]

It's horribly difficult and punishes you to no end. I want to play it, but I just don't have the time to dedicate myself to the game. You really need a lot of patience with the game, but I have a ton of others to play, so when I dwindle that number down I'll get back into Demon's Souls.

with a pure white tendency, blocked paths open up which lead to unique weapons, and side quest sbecome available for weapons/armor.

with a pure black tendency the harmless npcs become phantoms that drop good items, and the primeval demons show up (1 per level) which drop colorless souls, which upgrade those unique weapons.

i want this game, but i question the direct gameplay. how engaging is the normal fighting system? of course fighting epic boss battles will be good, but hows it on a normal basis? from the videos it looks a little hack in slash'y

It plays really smooth. Game runs off of the Havok engine (Assassins Creed Pain). As to Hack N Slash, you wouldn't last 5 minutes in the game hack n slashing. You need your shield or a parrying weapon. Range weapons play a huge part magic and miracles are musts. Gameplay is pretty deep for an RPG.

well that just means you can't upgrade the unique weapons, but you can still obtain them. It's easier to try to get them through your first playthrough rather your second since the game only gets harder.

I have demons souls, i started with the thief class as well, but I haven't found it that hard. the hardest bosses are probably the flamelurker and the old monk. I could see the maneater giving people trouble as well. alot of the other bosses just look intimidating, but aren't really hard. I probably died the most during 1-1 and 1-2 while i was getting the hang of the game. that being said demons souls is definitely one of the funnest games this gen. I haven't played any other game since i started and i probably won't play another game until i beat the game at least once. I can really only say that about 2 other games this gen (Valkyria Chronicles and MGS4). as far as the dragon in 1-1 is concerned, just get him to burn most of the people on the bridge, then go back down the stairs so he goes away. after he's gone just run. don't bother with the people at the end of the bridge, just run past them with your shield up. since your a theif class and have really light armor you really shouldn't have any trouble running across fast enough.
