Basic Survival Tips for Life in Demon's Souls

Bah! After I Wanna Be The Guy, nothing can make me cower!

Edit: Okay, after watching the video I have to say that the game looks awesome. Is it coming out on PC?

No, it's a ps3 exclusive, meaning that most of the difficulty stems from the shitty controller, but as the game's horde of screaming fanboys will point out, the game warrants the purchase of a PS3 because of it alone and you are a stupid halotard for having any criticism about the game like finding sentences in reviews that read like "this looks bad for a ps2 game but it still has atmosphere so 10/10 in that category" and bring up the point that half the reviews give it a 10 for being challenging and the other half give it a 4 for it's extremely unforgiving and random deaths which basically mean that you have to start over instead of any real difficulty.

I speak from experience about this.

Eh, I'm on the fence with this one. I like a challenge, but not punishment.

I'm with you, the game looks nice, but still.

Yeah it looks nice, but I probably wont get it for the same reason I never played Ninja Gaiden. Too much of a pain in the ass to enjoy.

As someone that imported it, I'm really enamored with the game. However, it doesn't seem as difficult as all the reviews are making it out to be.

To be honest, the thing that is the largest threat to your advancement in the game is other players. The NPCs can get tough in groups, and boss fights are no stranger to one hit/stun/dead events... but really it's the high level players that can randomly break into your game instance and slay you that is the hurdle to moving along.

This might change a bit as Atlus is creating a fresh set of servers for US players, and it'll take a day or two for the gankers to get into high gear. So, if you really want to play through the game, I suggest you do it early or offline.

Edit: By the way, I'm Tirnor on the PSN as well, if any other importers of the game want to run through some levels. Safety in numbers and all... those black phantoms are a *****.
