How did Demon's Souls get so popular???

but it blocks magic :OJandurin

Reading the comments in this thread baffles me and makes me wonder whether im playing the same game as everyone else. I've literally done nothing out of the way of Sleveling, i mean i only found out about world tendancies thanks to Jandurin yesterday. Il probably continue like this for the rest of the game (unless specifically needing too) and then get all technical on New Game+

Considering the internet has been up in arms over it since its Japanese release, it really didn't "pop out of nowhere." The reason why it got so popular is because its a genuinely good, and most importantly, unique game that is difficult by design, and unlike most other "hard" games (from any generation), not by broken features.

I look forward to buying it along with my PS3... but that's still a ways off into the future.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="h575309"]No doubt and if its as long as the other straight swords it will be sweet. Im not sure if the so called "valuable weapons" are really all that valuable, when upgrading the plain weapons with stones seems to create more powerful weapons.h575309

[QUOTE="h575309"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] in the end, they'll probably just be collected for the trophy in my gameVandalvideo

Its a true hardcore, old school RPG on the PS3 that is excellent. Don't find those old school RPGs anymore.

4 times through this game would be insane. I mean I like trophies and achievements, but some of them are just not worth my time.h575309

This game just popped out of nowhere and exploded on system wars. I know it's an import but what exactly makes this game so great? I might buy it.

Well I've finally figured out how to beat the Flamelurker. This is pretty much what I had/did:

1. get your soul leveled up especially your Strength to lvl 22

2. once your Strength reaches lvl 22, your character can now hold the Fire Shield (purple)

3. learn the Water magic from the Magician

4. get as many half/full moon grass (i'd say about 20 depending on your skills)

5. skills / tactics

Here's a walkthrough from a guy who beat it in his first time.

And TBH, that boss was a I3!+c#

It would probably took me a while more if I hadn't seen that video.

Demon's Souls will be forgotten within a week of its US release, though.

lol Don't know what he's talkin' about but half of the people on my bl are playing it. Maybe because a lot of people recently just turned to UC2. But I see a lot people online playing DS though; so far I've encountered 15-20 black phantoms invade my world.

I had him down to a sliver of life TWICE, and the little SOB spammed his ground pound fire move and it was all over. So the fourth or fifth time this happened, I just said "**** it" and took out my sword and just started swinging. I killed him with about 50 HP left. Things like this make this game epic though. I love it. Not to mention the bosses are so freaking cool looking. Best boss design since the original Devil May Cry IMO.h575309

:o aha! I knew Flamelurker reminded me of a hard boss somewhere I've played before.

Yes, that accounts for the numerous high score reviews. Good job!

DS is the most fun I've had this Gen, period.

That being said, I havent played uncharted 2 yet. But I did buy it, just waiting to dig in.

Its only popular here on SW and other forums. the average gamer probably hasn't even heard of it.

heysharpshooter

i know many casuals who heard about it.

Damn hearing you guys talk about Demon's souls makes me want to skip class and go home and play some more.

I'm trying to get through the poison swamp but damn its so hard, despite my poison resistance ring its just me being poisoned constantly, luckily that regen ring is there.

I wish more RPGs were like this because its so skilled based but you have to also have the right level. Only wish that you could communicate with others in coop hopefully cross-game chat will help this. But this game is really damn good, even had I gotten uncharted 2 yesterday than I still would've ended up playing this game. Its just that damn good.

28 wandered with Falcion+4 and scimatar+1 is a pretty good combo if you can time the parry attacks perfectly. But its also great against some bosses where blocking doesn't matter. Anybody know when actual weapons that are better than my starting weapon start showing up? otherwise I'll just going to max this out. And when can I expect to learn magic/miracles because I now just have to spend about 1000-2000 souls for arrows after every level.

You need to beat 1-4 to get to the king no? You need the key from so and so... (dont want to ruin anything)...h575309

You get it from ostrava which you meet in 1-4. You don't need to beat the 1-4 boss to get to Old King.

You can learn magic and miracles right after you beat phalanx from NPCs in the nexus. You find the catalyst (for magic) in 2 places (one on the first tower in 1-2) and the talisman of god (for miracles) in... 4-1? I JUST found it myself.Jandurin

ok, wow that helps a lot, I found the catalyst but didn't know what to do to find magic.

The Music when you fight Fool's Idol reminds me of something out of Metroid Prime.

Latria in general has this hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.
