I've been in the same situation. Picked it up a few weeks ago and spent the best part of five hours trying to get through the first level. Started off with a Knight but changed to a Royal after a few hours of dying. It's now been shelved.

I appreciate it's a great game, but I don't enjoy dying hundreds of times, losing all my souls, and then attempting to get back to my body whilst fighting the same foes again. I know it's supposed to be hard, but I'd welcome a difficulty option. No doubt I'll try it out again but at the minute I simply don't enjoy the game.

This sums up my DS experience. I don't have enough time to game as it is, and to waste hours just trying to get into a groove with a game doesn't do it for me. I made it through maybe 2-3 levels before I just said it's not worth it. I shouldn't have to learn to like a game. It's gameplay should make me enjoy it.

That being said I didn't try it as a Royal, so maybe I'll pick it up again at some point, and try it as a Royal. I know as a Knight the game sucks to me.

its going pretty good i will be back on today after a few off. going to do level 3 today so i can get soul thirst about to do some serious farming during the week but its a bit harder for sure at least i know the jump in difficulty is not quite as steep after this play through, how bout you?

There was someone on this forum 2 weeks ago who said the exact same thing, and was frustrated to the point of giving up on the game. I PMed him some tips and now he's addicted to the game. Do yourself a favor and look up the Demon's Souls wiki. That site will help you more than anything. Then, once you have a good feel of how the game works, decide on which stats you're going to focus on, and what kind of warrior you're going to be (I prefer mage, but it depends on your tastes). If you want me to go into further detail, let me know. dk00111

BTW, did you ever manage to get past the blue dragon in 1-4?

i beat aroundmy 30hr mark only becuase i was messing around farming stones and souls to upgrade some specific weapons and such I only had 1-4 left when i was around 24 hrs or so.

ahhh ok i was probably wearing that ring thanks

So i killed sage freak after i got everything i wanted and took his robes, but i noticed lately that when i had either my talisman or catalyst out i have this red flame that kind of shoots up from my neck in the back for some reason. I have never noticed that before, anyone else ever had that before? Just curious

id say its worth getting but if you are do it soon. I hear the servers wont be up for much longer.

The servers were exteded until October! But know you dont need to have the online to play it just enhances the expereince with help for the most part

i was just like you but i was so intrigued and 14.99 on amazon made me take the plunge. I was frustrated and almost quit in the first week, but someone took the time to help me out and i realized i needed to take some time to read the wikidot guide a little and i restarted as i was not that far in with a good build idea for my character and i have not looked back. Only about 5 more levels from my first playthrough. Its an excellent game steep learning curve but very addicting i say go for it just know going in you will have some hard times and may replay stuff alot. I recommend looking at character builds on the wikidot demonsouls page as you will have an idea how you want to spend souls on your upgrade it will give you more structure etc.

Im going to buy a ps3 but i dont want to go through with what just happened. I bought a psp go and now they are realeasing some new psp out of the blue. I dont want to buy a ps3 then have a ps4 waiting to come in an year. So the question is if i buy a ps3 around summer? should i just wait for a ps4. I mean if it is 2 years or so i am good. Should i just buy the ps3 since the ps4 will cost tons? Please your honest opinnion
