A lot of people said it was based on trial and error, but it's not really like that unless you run in recklessly. You can usually see your next targets from quite a distance, and you won't have to deal with the trial and error part of the game if you go through the game carefully.oppp7 said:
Not to say that the game can't be unfair sometimes. It can put you on ledges while giant stingrays shoot icicles at you(but you can't shoot back from the same distance) and a few skeletons. The combat itself is good enough though.
It's partially trial and error, but you can do pretty much everything on the first try if you play carefully.oppp7 said:
I'd wager possibly all the way to Phalanx or mayber Tower Knight in respects to it teaching you what to do cuase lets be honest,from start to nexus well bare minimum information being handed out with the only feedback being you manage to keep your life meter above 1hp or havn't noticed the game thinks you should be dead now but won't since this is training.Defense said:
Short-term game? Demon's souls is still played today competetively, I doubt Dark souls will be any different. Don't be so pompous about it not being on your prefferred system and assume it will "die quickly".DaHero said:
You could shoot back at them if you had one of the better Bows(crossbows in that game were for chumps) knew how to aim for where it's headed and had enough arrows to do it, of course knowing you were gonna get shot in the neck from the sky in the first place would be next to impossible.Defense said:
You may have been playing it with the wrong mindset. It's possible to go through the bosses and worlds in any order and I would actually advise not continuing on to the second area of world one until you have better equipment (like an upgraded longbow and 200 arrows to kill that red dragon). I usually spend a decent chunk of time just gathering equipment after beating the first boss before I complete any of the other areas. Playing Demon's Souls as if it were a mostly linear action-RPG doesn't work unless you're really good at it.chaos order said:
Please please in the of all that is good and holy dont go silly with it- Demons Souls was the one game that made me regret not having a PS3 and since this is coming to the 360 Im psyched, but Ive seen so many of these type of things where the games go from hard but fair to hard and cheap, Ive got my fingers crossed that Dark Souls doesnt follow that path.

It's a completely different genre, but if you want a happier theme without compromising the challenge, Tohou games are pretty good at that.Jumplion said:Well, that is one of the main points of Demon's Souls, questing in a barren, hostile land that intends to kill you at every other step. It's grounded in very dark Medieval mythology (or whatever mythology it takes inspiration from), so the whole dark, grim, depressing atmosphere is kind of a selling point. If you want happy, go play an equally as good Katamari game (or 3D Dot Game Heroes if you're in the mood for a throwback to nostalgia).Psychicflash666 said:Looks like it's going to be another depressing dark world
I didn't mind the difficulty in the first game, but the world was so depressing I couldn't play it for an extended amount of time. I don't mind dark and grim, but please give me a happy place to explore once in a while.
I mean, I'm still going to buy it because the first was overall amazing, but still...
Well... It was an alternative to being EXTREMELY cautious. The game punished you for rushing forward into unfamiliar territory. Still, some areas required you to be heavily aware of details like a dragon flying in the distance. Anyway, trial and error is avoidable, but chances are you will die at some point and be able to use that knowledge to avoid dying again.oppp7 said:
I love campfire conversations, some will share horror stories, some will share dirty stories, and hoping for mic support so we can chat.
Male Knight: "Do you know any story?"
Female Bard: "Well, this one time, at bandcamp...."

Yup PC raging ftw, I thought PC gamers were a master race, they are content playing Crysis and FPS with 999 sensitivity. Games don't need modding to survive. In my opinion a game SHOULD DO WELL without modding. Half Life 2 awesome game, have it on PS3. Even though I don't have 6,000 mods for it.DaHero said:
As for the post
The campfire part sounds amazing. Grab a priest and a mage and you are off to raid the nearest dungeon.
