shido Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Just discovered this game randomly which apparantly came out in japan in february and is only just being released in the states (looks like its never gonna make it to europe). From some of the reviews it sounds REALLY REALLY compelling....it sounds absolutely hard as nails....like forget that ninja gaiden shit..we're talking ridiculous "oh theres a boss! sweet...oh....one hit kill... " EDIT: Maybe some actual basic info about the game might help haha.... It looks like a very grim RPG kind of thing where you spend a lot of time dying. Check out some of the stuff about it...really thinking about importing it somehow. If you got time give the eurogamer review a read...you'll feel equally compelled i bet ya. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/demons-souls-review (9/10) Also check the GT video review: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-demons-souls/57297 Hmmmmmmmmm. Looks like its about 40 quid from Video Games Plus importing site plus delivery i'm sure.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lazlo Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Does look good. Excuse my ignorance but don't you get the pal/ntsc thing on American games for the ps3 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Is that still a thing in the HD age? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lazlo Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 i don't know that's why i'm asking. I don't have a ps3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Why not just buy it from one of our online stores with paypal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shido Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 yeah thats what i'm probably gonna do I guess it would still be...i dunno 60 bucks? then delivery so probably about the same as VG+... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 So it's not as punishing as they implied? Think people are just too used to games holding their hands. Regenerating health, ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shido Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It is insanely punishing.....i think i just was extra extra cautious based on the reviews....one slip up or if you start bashing wildly at shit...and you dead = restart the level please.

Clay Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Quite enjoying this, only died once so far, my fault though.. I stupidly jumped down a shiny hole "Ohhh what's down there?" Oh instant death and the loss of 300 souls, nice. The online side is class, love watching the other souls flying about in battle and the messages and blood stains are an awesome idea, not joined anyone elses game yet though. Battles aren't very tough yet, but I think I'm still in the tutorial phase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Okay now 10 times... My lost souls are now next to some big meathead Knight character who wiped the floor with me so I guess I can say bye to them now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 There is no way I could ever play this game. I know that after one pain in the arse death I'd put it back in its box and there it would stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Absolutely. Fuck that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 It's not frustrating at all, thought it would be, there's shortcuts throughout the level so it never feels like you're repeating it too much, saying that I'm not past 1-1 yet so what the fuck do I know Awesome stuff.

Its so fucking frustrating sometimes but oh so beautifully rewarding as well. I'm taking a break because we fell out and i'm still not talking to it until it apologises and gives me back my souls.

Clay Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm absolutely fucking loving it now, still stuck on 1-1 though Can maul everything with my 'bastard' sword.. but when it comes to the red eyed knight and the boss I just get annihilated and lose my souls as I rush through to get them or just get cocky What class are you? Just went with the bog standard soldier for my first playthrough, no idea how to level up though? Also any tips for the spikey slug 1-1 boss? Love the mood and style of this, combat got so much better when I realised you could lock on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm quite interested to see how long your love of this game will last. Do you have plans for tomorrow? If not I'm guessing you'll be finished with this by 6pm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
