Dark Souls (sequel to Demons Souls)[views:31266][posts:85]______________________________________ [Oct 20,2011 2:03am - frankovhell ""] So far I'm enjoying myself although Ive found out that lightning weapons are over powered and there are a few broken things regaurding the pvp. This saddens me and I really hope they patch them as the pvp in demon's souls was some of the better pvp I've had since well... ever... |

I'm still using the Drake Sword but I just found out that it doesn't scale with strength. I was wondering why it didn't look like leveling up had any effect. I haven't gotten any good weapon drops from big guys either. Pissing me off. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 20,2011 9:23am - Martins ""] Aril would love this game |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 20,2011 9:32am - arilliusbm ""] Im not huge on action rpgs unless it's Oblivion. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 20,2011 9:41am - arktouros ""] this game is a completely different approach. it forces you to learn patterns and adapt and repeat and change tactics and fucking kills you a lot, just like old action games. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 20,2011 9:45am - arilliusbm ""] zzzzzzzzz |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 20,2011 2:32pm - narkybark ""] oh Aril. You poopoo the game systems but the ones in the ElderScrolls games are a lot more basic, especially combat (and I'm not putting ES games down, I love them too for different reasons). This game nails the combat, exploration and fear vibes. Frank, I hear you on the pvp, I've been playing around with it, I got over the fog ring but the new thing I hate is the Tranquil miracle combined with that shockwave thing. It's horrible. The only thing you can do is block the blast but then you're too slow to retaliate. Havent been able to figure out how to deal with it yet. Martins, drake sword does not scale with anything, so yeah it's a great early game sword but you can make or find better. Smith a weapon you like up to +5, what you do from there depends on your build. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2011 5:54am - frankovhell ""] Still having a blast playing this and havent even beat it fully yet in a month. Skyrim will not be purchased until its patched and cheap in a year or so. Looks like Oblvion 2.0. ZzzzzzZz |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 12,2011 9:46am - the_reverend ""] Oblivion ruled, but I got lost in the weeds with it. After 5 months of playing it, I only did like 2 of 9 real quests. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 12,2011 11:33am - narkybark ""] I finished DS recently, the ending sortof comes out of nowhere. Wasn't happy with the one I got, I liked the way Demon's ended a lot more. I would still highly rate this game. The only things I thought were bad were the content for Covenants, and some aspects of PvP are easily abused. Other than that, it kept me engrossed the entire time, difficulty was just right. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 13,2011 1:49am - frankovhell ""] I prefer a game that focuses me and challenges me to finish rather than slowly looses my interest with little challenge other than "finding" things. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 13,2011 11:35pm - Randy_Marsh ""] I'm stuck on the Bell Gargoyles. So fucking hard once the other one comes out and I'm using firebombs too.. Moonlight Butterfly and Taurus Demon weren't too difficult though, only died a few times on both but these fucking Gargoyles kid! |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 13,2011 11:49pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Haha nevermind, just beat em both. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2011 6:01am - frankovhell ""] HAHA, those are soo easy man. You will get better at the game. Just need to be smart and learn how to read the tells of when all the monsters will attack. Just like old school games. You can beat the game at lvl 1 if you are good enough. Just wait until you fight Ornstien and Smough ha |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 12:24am - Randy_Marsh ""] Well they are harder than the Moonlight Butterfly that's for damn sure but I did manage to kill them with firebombs. I'm on Capra Demon right now, only fought him twice. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 2:58am - narkybark ""] Capra demon blows. I had the hardest time with him in the early game. Ended up summoning help. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2012 2:15pm - the_reverend ""] people are talking about this game at work a lot |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2012 2:25pm - arktouros ""] lol @ aril's posts, he would praise the shit out of these games if he tried them. they aren't just another game. i haven't even touched demon's souls in a couple months so i haven't picked up the newer one yet. me and this game have a serious love/hate relationship. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2012 2:39pm - narkybark ""] I love the crap out of these two games. I think I like the second one more just due to the sense of exploration and how all the areas are linked together. Altho I do think one particular boss fight in Dark is cheap as shit. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2012 3:20pm - arktouros ""] coming out for PC!! glad i waited to get it. "Dark Souls: Prepare to Die" ....my god, it's so hard http://pc.ign.com/articles/122/1222763p1.html "Our fans demanded to see this game brought to the PC, and the noise they have made was simply too loud and too passionate to ignore," said From Software creative director Hidetaka Miyazak. Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will be released digitally on August 24th. |

| ___________________________________________ [Sep 6,2012 8:10pm - floatingeyecorpse ""] Sorry didn't realize there was a thread for it already So sick though |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 4:03pm - Randy_Marsh ""] How many people actually beat this game, I gave up on Capra Demon :( |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 7:10pm - Garth Algar ""] I did beat it but I gotta admit I used a guide to figure out how to uncurse myself. I was fucked otherwise. Really fun though |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 7:12pm - Garth Algar ""] Wish PS3 got the downloadable stuff too. Need more. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 7:17pm - Randy_Marsh ""] I might start Dark Souls up again..Just got Monster Hunter Tri though. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 7:42pm - Garth Algar ""] I've been thinking about replaying it too, now that I'm not so frightened every two steps I take. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 11:02pm - narkybark ""] I beat it, it's not THAT hard. Capra demon does suck though, I'll give you that. Four Kings also made me frown. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 11:28pm - Garth Algar ""] I just slashed Four Kings and wooped 'em. Easiest boss battle for me. But I knew I got lucky. It was scary as hell and so dark. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 28,2012 11:31pm - Garth Algar ""] And yeah, the hardest part was the first 30 hours. You got the hang of it after that. |
| __________________________________________________________ [Apr 3,2014 11:05am - ark soul of a legendary warrior ""] I am making a serious try at a full run through this game before the sequel is released on PC in a couple weeks. I was stuck in the Undead Burg forever and put it down for a long time. I finally passed that plateau recently and am almost at Blighttown. I have done almost everything possible up to that point except right past the first bonfire in the Catacombs which is still too much to handle right now without a divine weapon. I made the mistake of killing the old blacksmith in the Undead Parish. Help me out Damon. Did I need him for weapon ascension? The snooty bastard below the Firelink Shrine won't do it. There must be another blacksmith I can get to now?? |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2018 8:43am - the_reverend ""] Just starting on the switch now. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2018 1:05pm - the_reverend ""] Wow... I suck at this game. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 22,2018 3:16pm - susurrate ""] I too just bought the remastered edition. Am so bad. I had previously beaten bloodborne with the dlc and it being one of the spiritual successors to dark souls, I thought I'd be decent at it. Nope. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 2,2018 9:55pm - the_reverend ""] Ok, I'm getting better at the game, but I really don't know what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to do |
