New Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition trailer

[QUOTE="madsnakehhh"]

[QUOTE="001011000101101"]So the only thing this series has going for it, is it's difficulty. "Prepare to die".. lol. How sad. I'll stick to actually fun games instead something that's hard for the sake of being hard.001011000101101

That's mostly pure marketing, Dark Souls is much more than that, it also has amazing and satisfying combat, great Boss Battles, amazing atmosphere, great music, an interesting plot and yes is challenging yet extremely rewarding.

I like games like Trials Evolution because it's always your own fault if you fail. Same with games like N+ and so on. Dark Souls just looks so damn clumsy, and I could see myself die a lot because of the controls. But that's just judging from the vids.

If you have even the slightest obsessive streak, this game will work for you.

The first couple of hours show little/no progress. Lvelling up for the first time does'nt do much.

That means that you're probably weak and completely vulnerable when facing off against the first boss. Couple of hours later and your're going to have a challenged but competent character; be that a tough one, a fast one, a spellwielding one or any combination.

The dificulty is above all a matter of trying to play against the rules of the game IMO, the "SKyrim Syndrom" if you will; at least during the first playthrough, you really need to find your nieche.

I recommend not too heavy armour, for the sake of moving fluently before having high stats, along with a spear, something that hits hard and a ranged weapon.

[QUOTE="001011000101101"] It's just that the only thing I ever hear about this game, is that it's crazy hard. A friend of mine played it, and he said it wasn't enjoyable at all because of the difficulty. Does it feel like it's your own fault when you die, or is it because of cheap/overpowered enemies?

Are rapiers good?

I'm far from an expert, just pointers to that guy I quoted, which will hopefully heighten the likelíhood of a "secure growing enviroment". This is mostly spoken from Demons Souls' POV, since I got rid of my 360 fast.

I'm still convinced it was sound beginner advice ;)

So rapiers are actually good you say?

I added it to my Wishlist. But I want to purchase Demon's Souls first then purchase Dark Souls on PS3 because I would like them on the same system. But it looks really cool.

It looks so awesome!!! My favorite part is the very end where it says "coming as DLC for PS3 and 360":D

Still havent beaten this game. Have no idea where to go and I refuse to use a guide.

If you guys watch the new trailer, it clearly says... "Games for Windows LIVE". - Sure it isn't on the requirements, but many games don't put final requirements until near launch.ShadowDeathX

:cry::cry::cry:

Yeah,shouldn't have gotten my hopes up...

Even if it uses GFWL I will still buy it but if it EVER touches my sava data? No more GFWL ever. Sorry not dealing with that stuff. I'll be backing it up as much as I can.
