I wish there was a way to pause the offline game.,The way the online features are with invaders and co-op, i don't know how we'd be able to pause with others roaming in the world.

I would just be happy if they fix the current issues... The nexus glitch that resets tendancy is really annoying so it would be nice to see them fix that.. another issue that I've come across is that I can't seem to get my hands on the friend's ring...I've killed all named black phantoms on my first playthrough and I've already killed three in my current run. My white character tendancy simply doesn't alter...it refuses to shift to pure white....when I yield the demonbrandt the stats indicate that I'm at pure white but when I talk to the monumental he doesn't offer me the ring. (and yes, I've tried doing it body form and I've never said no to his request) At this point I might have to end up finding someone who's willing to trade.

It's a spell you learn from Yuria by offering her the soul of 2-3 boss. There's also another AoE miracle spell that attacks many enemies at once, its called Rage of God IIRC. Both spells are very MP costly though.

takes you to the ingame xmb while the game continues lol if you want to do something you might as well just kill what's in sight and chill or run away from the fight to a safe place...otherwise there's no safe hiatus.

Don't fall for the complaints about pausing its not really a valid complaint imo... there are so many safe places you can stand without being attacked.... you can even be looking at a horde of enemies and just relax since they only attack when you get within a certain distance of them... the only place you can't stand still is in a boss fight...and even then some boss areas allow you to leave the game running without fear of being attacked.

Not being able to pause the game is actually necessary... otherwise it's difficulty and strategy element would be halved in my opinion. Do not lose that. Really, the only things I would change at the moment are some accessibility flaws (more definite ways to tell world tendency, easier to change world tendencies, more instruction in the tutorial), and improve the physics. The platforming-esque portions of the game are marred by the ancient feeling physics. I still love the game with all my heart though, so if those things went unaddressed even in the sequel, I'd still be first in line to buy just for more levels, more weapons, and more soul sucking fun.

To put it simply, you fall. To lower ledges.Notice the "esque" following "platforming". :P

World 2-2 is pretty heavy on platforming...some aspects of 3-2 and 5-1 as well... you don't really need to be able to jump to platform... rolling sometimes substitutes jumping as you tend to cover more distance then simply walking down a platform.

I agree that having co-op split screen is a good idea or same screen co-op on one PS3. An easier co-op function that help find friends to play with, maybe like Borderlands or Champions of Norrath. I would like to see deeper character development and more spells and abilities. Having a more interesting story would help also.

I don't know how pause would work in online mode. Besides enemies don't go out of their way to attack you anyway.

Well games like Oblivion have much more complicated character development, where you work to level up every individual skill to level up your major stats.

I prefer the character development in Demon's Souls though, I like that it is simpler and more streamlined.

It doesnt pause because it's online, you can however happily quit to the main screen at anytime, then start back at the same spot.

I wish there was a good spot to farm empheral eyes so co-op was a bit easier to arrange, and the dead ragdolls behaved a bit better, thats it

Actually there are loads of safe spots in the game or simply just by clearing the area. Pausing isn't a necessity. Also it adds to the factor that you need to fully prepare before you go into a battle thus adding the challenge of preparation. Taking into account that the game is also online. Pausing whilst playing online, I've never seen the likes of it.

That's ridiculous! What if you have to go to the bathroom? :)

Many games are doing this active menu thing. What I think is that they should have added a pause, with no options, or just the Options command. So that you cant take advantage of the pause command.

Still, Diablo II while online did not have pause either. So I guess its not that bad. The game teaches you to be always prepared for the worst.

I agree with the pvp history. It would be nice to be able to go to your character screen and checkout what your pvp record is.

I like the option to automatically destroy duplicates of gear too. It can get tiresome dropping stuff all day lol

Edit: How about an option to decline picking up the item when you check out a corpse? (or is this already in there somewhere)
