So I input my collector's code to download the soundtrack. Just as the soundtrack started downloading, my computer crashed. Is there any way to access the page for it again?

Buddy I don't know how to tell you this, but I'll just be direct: you're a chump. Giving you, AT MOST, 55% of the game's value in store credit (translates to about 35% "real money" to them) is not a "decent price"; you can almost always do better on eBay or Craiglist. I used to beg my former roommate - a serial game-flipper - not to trade in his poo poo at GameStop and to list in on eBay at their trade-in price plus 25%; he finally relented and after seeing how much more money he was getting he thanked me profusely.

Amazon also consistently gives you more for your games. My GameStop is always really uncomfortable because the staff kisses rear end like crazy. It must work or something because you can't walk a few feet before several employees got their puckered lips directly on your butthole complementing your taste in games or something equally inane. Last time I want to buy Catherine and the guy at the register told me I smelled really good. I pretended not to hear and he repeated louder that I SMELLED REALLY GOOD. Weird place.

I'm sitting at work with my copy in hand. It's been a slightly frustrating day, but somehow I still want to go home and play this game knowing that it is the epiphany of frustration.

Picked up the local Best Buy's last copy, thirty minutes after they opened I like to think that I've become pretty good at Demon's Souls over the past few years, and Dark Souls is kinda sorta kicking my rear end.

Just got back from a lunch-break Best Buy visit. For those who hate Gamestop (me included), Best Buy hasn't failed me once. I never pre order anything and just go on release day to pick it up. They must've had like 50 copies just sitting on the shelf when I walked up. I have a serious problem now: the work day isn't over for another 4 hours and I have this game on my desk just looking (laughing) at me. ;/ So pumped to die tonight.

So Amazon says they estimate my game to arrive today but still has the status "not shipped yet. I'm about to click cancel and head into town to pick it up. Bastards!

My God, this game is hard. Some tips: The Masterkey will activate if you open a door that uses it. It is NOT a one time use item. The 360 version seems to have odd slow down when there's a long draw distance. Not bad slowdown but maybe four five frames. And even though it's installed, the game spins the disc in the drive for a bit. There was also a 3MB patch released today but I don't know what it does. Also, the Dragon Bridge is very hit or miss. Sometimes it'll swoop down and roast you, other times it'll just sit there and chill out. I think the Warrior is a better choice for me as I'm rushing way too much.

Man, I am torn between starting as Deprived (in true Dark Souls spirit) or going Thief so I can get both the Master Key and Pendant. Which should I pick? VVV I will leap over the counter if this happens. I paid in full, they better have a copy waiting.

Fuckin Gamestop had a ton of 360 non-preorder copies and ZERO PS3 non preorder copies. What the gently caress. I refuse to preorder poo poo and now I get to traipse around town looking for the game I want. I will die tonight if it kills me!

OK, I think I'd settled on starting as The Warrior and first focusing on raising the stats needed to get some Pyromancy going on as a supplement. Bonus: I really like the roman looking armor the Warrior starts with.

To counter the "OH GOD ITS NOT HERE AMAZON  " Posts: I looked at the tracking in my order and it said it was still in Jersey; so I took the tracking code and put it in at the UPS site, it says it's sitting at my house right now.  Now, just 3 more hours of work and I will die a horrible horrible death! I've decided on Deprived, gonna go in true 'Souls style.

Oh man I'm stuck at the 2nd campfire in the game. I keep dying either on the way to, or right at some big loving taurus boss on the wall. I tried rolling around him and attacking his back but he turned and hit me each time...not sure how to progress.

It's not foolproof because I got hit a few times, but its much better than anything else I tried. Giantbomb just kept lobbing flame grenades at him. If you have them.

Have the game for PS3 and the strategy guide. I cannot believe I bought a strategy guide, but holy poo poo is this thing cool. 383 pages, hard cover, with an absolute poo poo ton of information. Now I want to try not to read it yet, but this is making a good run to replacing my I pad 2 on the shitter for a while.

I'm off to work now. Mine's been 'out for delivery' for 3 hours but I am pretty sure I won't get it till the afternoon, it's not on my doorstep. I have prepared by cooking many meals in advance, and I did some extra work late last night. Also it looks like the guide on amazon has 2 versions: the one which is out of print, and an identical version that appears on the 7th. Is the guide available at all gamestops or something? I might just cancel and get it there.

Whoah, the game massively glitched out on me. I was fighting a skeleton and I fell through the floor. How am I supposed to get that bloodstain!? Edit: Ok, there it is. Still, that was a bullshit death not on my part.

Thundercracker posted:Man, I am torn between starting as Deprived (in true Dark Souls spirit) or going Thief so I can get both the Master Key and Pendant. Which should I pick? I went Deprived. Starting with virtually no armor is pretty tough, and you don't get anything great from enemies right off the bat -- literally scraps. That said, gently caress YEAH DEPRIVED + PENDANT. Starting with a Master Key (Thief) is probably pretty handy though, since there are a number of locked doors/gates pretty early on. Might lead to... something good? something bad?

Why does everyone keep saying this? Atlus didn't publish Dark Souls (or Disgaea 4 for that matter, that was Nippon Ichi), they published Demon's Souls. If you want to bitch, bitch at Namco, they're the ones behind it this time.

I don't understand the issue people are having with the Bull Demon. I beat him by using simple spear+shield. I was able to block his attacks then counter, rinse, repeat. I died the first few times thinking his attacks were unblockable and trying some rolling shenanigans, but when I treated him as a normal enemy he was easy. edit: also if you break the barrels right outside his fog wall there is some blue shiny critter that runs around. Kill it and you get some item upgrade items. Is this something that spoils? edit2: can someone please explain where the self repair item is in more detail than the general location?

Hey people I have questions, I never played Demon's so these might be stupid: 1.) Can you repair weapons and armor once they break (hit 0 or whatever)? I'm rocking that drake sword and would hate to permanently lose it. 2.) Do better shields improve (i.e. lower) the amount of stamina drained when you block a hit? Detective No. 27 posted:How do saves work? Does it save every time I use a bonfire? You can quit through the menu and you'll load back in right where you were, even with enemies around you. Bonfires are just where you respawn if you die and level up and such, they usually make pretty good safe areas.
