Mercury Crusader posted:I've yet to play Demon's Souls, and am kind of interested in this game. As somebody who plays a lot of games such as "Ghosts 'n Goblins" and more recently stuff like "Dungeons of Dredmor," and thus loves playing games where I die constantly, is this game right for me? The only barrier I can think of that would detract would be controls, as I do enjoy that "simple-to-learn, impossible-to-master" design of game. Are the controls for either game that elaborate? The game feels very natural and is probably one of the easiest control schemes to get used to. Altho in the first I found I accidentally ate a lot of the herbs. Mainly in a panic though.

Decided the game will be worth the wait in shipping plus I have classes so it's not like I can play non-stop. Woke up, popped the money on the CC and now waiting for Amazon to consume my funds. So stoked! Almost here!!

It's good to be able to say, "We were there in the start."  From deserves all the praise they get from this -- it's a solid loving video game that is fun. I don't play much these days and rarely buy video games but I'll make an exception for their studio from now on. I loved both Demons Souls and their ultra retro Zelda-clone (which I need to pick up, stopped playing a while back cause of that loving dragon boss).

While you can chat with friends what purpose does it serve if they cannot join with you? So you can chit chat with buddies like it was vent on a non-MP game? I guess I dont "get it".

Amazon Canada doesn't even have release day shipping, there is priority but that makes it $79 CDN. Lucky Americans. I could just cancel and get it in a store but it'll be here by Friday probably, gives me most of the weekend to enter hell.

Pierson posted:Speaking of amazon and whatnot, is there any in-game benefit to buying the CE as opposed to the normal one i.e. items/skins/weapons like most games do these days? I don't really care about soundtracks or art-books and I have no intention of using a strategy guide. There is nothing like that, I might just cancel since I don't really care for that poo poo. It was a nice bonus but not a "wait 1 week to get it" bonus.

qbert posted:Yeah, I hope this is not a case of From offering the free CE upgrade for pre-orders, grossly underestimating the demand for the game from the fanbase, and not producing enough copies. Still waiting on my own pre-order shipping email. Could be why those of us north of the border are getting the delays. Fun!

Cancelled pre-order and just picked it up locally plus I got a $10 gift card at FutureShop. gently caress Amazon.ca. Time to get destroyed! Going naked and looking for a nice and big 2h so I can re-make my char from Demons Souls. Does this use our PSN name when signed in for the book of the damned or whatevs?

Ugh, all my demons souls experience is out the window. I rolled a deprived and the club is tough as poo poo to use, so slow. Got a axe and than a sword too, but enemies are loving tough. I love it though and I am slowly getting my bearings back. I encountered the first fully armored enemy in the city and... promptly got my rear end handed me.

The only thing I don't like it and it's something i've encountered in the first area (Undead Burgs) with the basic soldier type is that they cheat by "warping" to you now. As in some can jump 25ft to get to you, it's harder to dodge sometimes as they will do their jumping move and if you move to the side, they will change direction in the air to face you now. So instead of taking advantage of their lovely jump move, they will probably make contact. I go through too many estus flasks but I did start out deprived and the best armor I have now is hollow soldiers poo poo, so I am sure I'll eventually find better. I am having a easier time with the knights with capes and those giant fucks with shields but than again they aren't trying to rape my face and gang bang me as I step inside their grottos. Wish I could play all day but... school, midterms soon... UGH. What a perfect game tho, it took me about 2.5 hours to get past the first boss (Tauren Demon thing) but that defeat felt so great. Also, have you guys seen the sign on the ground "Praise the sun"? What the hell?

loving boss in lower Burgs. I ALMOST beat him but he cornered me, his attacks are so loving weak but it's those loving demon dogs, I can't seem to kill them anymore!! I am heading back with that drat dragon sword since the halbred was what I used before. Hoping to make quick work of him. Also that bell tower boss above wasn't too bad, throwing knives hurt them quite well.

gently caress YOU CAPRA DEMON... finally. I spent about 1 hour trying to kill this loving oval office, than said gently caress it and went to the forest. Not sure what the hell I was doing but came upon a lake with a goddamn HYDRA, I don't know what the gently caress and grabbed some knight armor High tailed it back but got a little lost, ran into a black knight and found a green wood shield thingy, does good blocking. Well with my new armor and shield, it was time for Capra Demon. Died about 5 times either from getting gang banged as soon as I entered or destroyed as I ran up the stairs. I was ready to turn off this loving game but said... one. more. time. Killed those loving dogs quick and took the fight slowly, keeping the fucker on the ground and letting him try to follow me. I only did one overhead hit otherwise it was all watching my moves. So glad that is over... The sewers tho, christ, those fat loving guys... minor spoiler they are slow but if they catch you and BANG, they even hit you on the ground!! I ran away as fast as possible, I had 4k souls and needed to level up just a bit. I am scared to go down there again but... no other place to be! There was some fellow I freed and back at camp there is some guy in gold... Calling it a night but man, this game makes me want to break things but the feeling of killing a major enemy... so good. Love it!!

Regarding the Capra Demon - Tactics and it's not as easy as people make it. It's not as easy as just running up those stairs, he charges you right away along with those loving dogs. They will get a hit in and hopefully you have enough poise or good enough armor to shrug it off so you can inch your way up the stairs. DO NOT run to you right, I thought I would change it up but that just resulted in more destruction. If you can manage getting up the stairs and killing those loving dogs, just have patience and watch the boss. He's really slow and you can get away with ease. Seeing those loving dog corpses fly down after jumping off the stairs gave me a good sense of ... gently caress that boss, hardest fight so far.

Patience. Discipline. You'll get it, get some heavier armor for the CAPRA DEMON. It'll help a lot, you have to go in there as a tank. Anything lighter and he'll gently caress your poo poo.

Found the (armor)ninja/shadow armor in Blighttown, looking like a badass and close to my fast rolling butcher sword character from DeS who was in black rags. But I seem to be stuck... is there a boss here? I reached what I think is the end at the bottom, getting rewarded with a fire keeper soul. Not sure what to do from here, any tips? Do I have to go all the gently caress back?

She must have been broken cause the bitch was easy, the spider one. She never did a AOE, I just got up in her face and swiped while she missed all her strikes. I than just kept my distance while she puked lava and moved in when she was barfing for a while. Other boss was easy too: hide in the mountain and let him attack But umm, now what the gently caress do I do? Below me are 8 taurus demons protecting something, I tried running through but they all caught up to me, 10k souls lost And the other way is a bunch of Capra Demons, sometimes two at a time. I don't think I am supposed to be here... But... how do I get the gently caress back up? I don't want to go all through Blighttown again...
