DEMON'S SOULS A GAME FOR SONY PLAYSTATION 3

so u can't pause in this game right? what if you have to pee??

YOU DIED

online players can tough yr pee stain and see a special message from u

* touch!

is it a picture of u peeing

someone knocked on my door and my dog went berzerk and I'm yelling at girlfriend upstairs asleep to get door and she gives me a serious WTF face on the way past and I want to apologize because IS NO PAUSE BUTTON and sorry u r a DEMON SOULS widow now

if you need to step away you have to find a safe nook. you are usually safe from monsters as they don't tend to roam, but once i came back from the kitchen just in time to witness my poor guy being disemboweled by another player invading my game as a black phantom.

would also recommend hitting the PS button so that if you are clumsy like me you don't drop the controller on the R2 button and watch your dude do a strong attack off a cliff.

is it me or is there totally a superfluous apostrophe in this games title? is there a character named demon in this game?

i think it should be demons' souls

no

I would have called it "Demons, Souls"

haha

Demons/Souls

de mons' souls: a jah rastafari rpg

Knocked out the tower knight and the spider last night back to back, though of course I'm dead again. Boosted my strength enough to finally use the compact bow. in the deep tunnels now, falling from platform to platform and beating the hell out of giant fireworm beetle larvae from behind. Still no magic! Still no miracles! perhaps I misread my spoiler. I'm playing as a wanderer, falchion +6/heater shield +6/brush armor all around. Kinda doing the tank thing so very very happy to finally have a distance attack. Have not visited world 3, only barely stuck my nose into world 4 and thought it looked like such an eyesore mess that I better wait.

there's actually a lot of funny discussion of the apostrophe on the internet--

the question is, how come none of you brought this up yet? hmm?

i'm going to go ahead and call this my game of the year

I am reserving judgment until after I play NSMBWii but otherwise yeah, and this year has at least two other games I'd put in my top 10 of the decade (Uncharted 2 and Bowser's Inside Story).

speaking of which, are we going to do a Coint & Plick for the decade too?

plz don't for my sanity

ditto, but i might if i have too much free time

appropo of nothing but i went to the premiere of the new Richard Foreman last night and it was basically a point and click flash game with actors and no controls.

felt so fucking smart about getting behind the giant arrow shooting weapon on the bridge, then promptly GANKED by black phantom

hit a major frustration point and then discovered that 4-2 yields a solid 25K+ souls if you cruise through all the way to the boss door
started grinding to get all stats up to 20 and bang there goes three hours and I'm still not even close to straight 20's. Got my first miracle and the "return to the nexus" option is like where the fuck have YOU BEEN all this time silent tears of thankfulness
such a vicious lover this game
frustration ebbing, character stronger, gonna go back and fuck up that pair of maneaters any minute now.
the sickness level is so vertigo inducing

anybody else still working this?
As you may recall, I bought a ps3 with four other games and none of them have even been put in the drive yet.

I'm a hairs breadth away from shaming myself on ebay for this game. (importing to UK)

Can I pick up the normal edition, or do I need the one that has a guidebook with it.

Seeing as Legends of Wrestlmania has a guide in English, its just Atlus player hating that you cannot get an English Guide for DS seperately

Or should I go for the one that has an artbook & a CD and just accept that I'll want something to stare at as I rock back & forth.

i wish i had gotten the guide, mostly for obsessive purposes.

the guide owns; also with the box you get the awesome original cover art

massively otm article. choice quote: "people who tell you that it’s hard just aren’t being boring enough about it"

sadly otm; i wish i could pretend it wasn't.
i love this game so much though. it perfectly replicates the never-ending feel of junior-high school ending when beating a game was sometime far off in the 90's.

whoa, I didn't know Chris Dahlen wrote for Edge! I used to love that dude's Pitchfork column.

okay, so it's down to boss battles in three worlds and sojourning the poisonous wastes and avoiding that fucking big sword black phantom on the wall. Still about ten points short of rolling all twenties and would love to find some moonstones to finish off my sword to a +5. It's either going to be a hard grind to up stats now or I'm gonna figure out how to beat these guys. Need to set aside a few hours.

i can't even beat the first dungeon.

ALRITE I OWN THIS BITCH.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO BLOW TO GET A SWORD THAT INSTA-KILLS DRAGONS AND LOOKS RAD.

Executioner Miralda and even then it ain't really happening.

hamildan, you could import from VG+, renchi or axelmusic (to avoid the perils of ebay)?

oh

too late

DEMON'S SOULS A GAME FOR SONY PLAYSTATION 3 [Started by hope u get ♋ (Lamp)

When I want to read about the game... I pore over spreadsheets.

got it for too much money from an importer here in London.

thought that any cheaper offers on the internet would probably bring a VAT charge so it was easier just to go and pick it up.

the plain version is selling in import shops here for £65 ($110)

Hella glad I bought the version with the guide though. What are they thinking not including it with every game?

will have to wait till the weekend to put some time into it though, just chugging through the guide on the bus to work.

thinking about a Knight who rocks the magic weapons.... I normally go magic based but I think I dont have the skills to play the defensive game in DS.

i went wanderer which was idiotic.

THE ONLY THING MAKE THIS GAME BETTER IS A FISHING MINI GAME AND JIZZMOS CONTINUE NOT FUKKEN BLOGGING ABOUT IT

I CANT MAKE A FISHING ROD IN UNICODE

---- DIED -----

Killed the Phalanx last night and now the game seems less pointless as I can actually upgrade with souls.

no magic or ranged attacks so I poured turps on my sword and lit that bitch up.

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

apparently eb doesn't sell the demon's souls guide? wtf

guide is available only with the deluxe edition of the game. it's a bummer.

that moment when you get to the point where you can actually start improving is absolutely REAL DEMON'S SOULS STARTS NOW

Played for 3 hours, lost all my souls & didn't get a step further.

need to skill up before steppin' to the Tower knight.

REAL DEMON'S SOULS STARTS NOW

ha that happened to me last night. anyone know why i can't equip cling ring? is it because i'm a pussy weakling magician?!

Is it cause you is not a soul?

i'm dead man i still haven't beat the first dungeon!

15 hours in and a few questions.

Can I sell items? (or what happens to the million slave's shields I have?)

If I scare off a crystal lizard, that's it gone for keeps right?

Are there any non scarey boss's? I got to the spider boss and didn't even go in his room.

15 hours in and I have said some bad words to the screen....some very bad words.

You can't sell items, though you CAN improve some of them with stones to the point where they become useful. You can chuck the slave's shields.

Crystal lizards disappear once they're fully dug in and that after-image fades, yes. You can always go back to the stage and they often will reappear.

There are no "non scarey boss's". Everything in this game will fuck you up.
