Holy shit this looks like the best PS3 game ever. I want a PS3 now.
Yeah, /v/ hyping it so much has made me want it too. Although, I wanted a PS3 long before Demon Souls. It was a prize on Lockerz, and I was going to get it, and I was entering my shipping info, and as soon as I pressed "order", NOPE, SOLD OUT HAHA FAGGOT.
And no store near me has it.
The multiplayer stuff is worth buying the game for alone
Looks extremely generic, even if it's well done.

Demon's Souls is one of the best games I've played in along time. It gets very frustrating at times, but it is hard to put the controller down... The difficulty is quit hard but that's what makes it addicting. I'm going to go play it now, bye.

I didn't say it was a bad game, it just looks generic baddood;
I've been reading about gameplay and stuff. The use souls to upgrade stats thing reminds me a lot of Etrian Odyssey, and I love Etrian Odyssey. I can't wait to play so at the very least I can see which is harder.
ETRIAN ODYESSY OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT GAME.
I need to go play it now.
Every PS3 owner should get this game.

Yes. I think I'm going to do the same. Either that or just ask for a few games and get the PS3 myself so that I won't feel spoiled by getting a $300 present.
Well I started as a thief but then decided to try Royalty. It's so much easier right now. So far, I beat 1-1 and 1-2. At the moment, I'm level 17. I love this game.

PROTIP: Just stand back and fire at that demon with magic. Just make sure your attacks don't hit the crap piled up in front of him.
but world 3 overall is really easy, aside from the parts in 3-3 where a reaper corners you and you get ambushed by some ghosts

Which level was your favorite?

uh i forget what exactly i used
I just had some light body armor and pumped endurance to equip the flute gauntlets and other flue stuff from 3-1. As soon as I found the Dragon Long Sword and Adjudicator's Shield, I just upgraded them and used them throughout the game.
also oh god wait
I accidentally mixed up 3-3 with 4-2 (I don't know how). World 3 is easy throughout, and world 4 is mostly easy aside from those reapers.
World 3 was scary as hell, but overall I'd say it was my favorite due to the color scheme and overall design. 5-1 is my overall favorite single level because it's just so creepy, but the boss is retardedly simple. 5-2 was complete shit so I hated it.
World 4 was pretty cool too and I loved the arch demon.

Right now I'm using the flute armor set as well with the Dragon Long Sword and the Purple Flame Shield. I didn't know whether to use that or the Adjudicator's Shield.

Adjudicator's Shield is only good if you upgrade it 3 or 4 times. You missed the Halloween event I guess so you really can't upgrade it now.
My main focus in the game was to be highly mobile, so I never bothered with heavy shields or anything and healing was more important.

oh, there was a halloween event that upped the difficulty about 5 times and threw the world into pure black tendency
Primeval demons were everywhere, and you slay them to get colorless demon souls which are used to upgrade the Adjudicator's Shield and loads of other stuff.
And that's really the only way to get those souls, aside from that crow in 4-1 that gives you one.

I don't think Spirit Tracks is worth buying even for the story since it seems the DS Zeldas do nothing to add to the overall story of the zelda series.
They're basically LOL BUY ME, WIND WAKER WAS GREAT AND THIS GAME IS CEL SHADED TOO SO BUY IT
you can GUIDE THE FUCKING BOOMERANG
also there is no targeting system. you just click the enemy to kill it

it's funny, because I look back fondly at this game, but I tried to play it recently, and the more I think about it, the more this game drops on the list
there are just too many examples of the game severely punishing the player for being anything short of absolutely perfect in your playthrough
permanently locking off content for dying one too many times, non-essential as it may be, is ridiculous
fool's idol dead

On NG+ though every boss was super easy tbh, I still fucked up here and there tho. I would still say that this game's NG+ is a lot harder than Dark Souls NG+. The difficulty jump is a lot steeper.

well me neither really, i didn't even get hardly any of the spells on my first playthrough
on ng+ though, to make things easier for me when trying to platinum the game, i used some spells and miracles. mostly just the firestorm spell and the second chance miracle.
i used melee tactics on everything in my first playthrough and still did on ng+ for the most part. i just wanted to blow past leechmonger and dirty colossus asap

Can players in different game cycles interact with each other? befuddlement
apparently i'm still no match for maneater, though :(
maneater is just a battle of being as aggressive as possible for the first one so that it's dead/almost dead once the second shows up
btw if you have the dark silver shield you should be using it (i mean you always should anyway except maybe for firelurker) because it has 100% magic reduction and the maneater's magic is annoying
i won't have that shield until much later on lol :(
and since any other shield would prove mostly worthless, i think i'm going in shieldless

anyway, as i feared, i hecked up and now i'll never be able to activate the tendency events in the tower of latria
welp, there's always new game+ awdood;
and actually i did somehow still manage to achieve white world tendency in latria despite this
which means i still don't understand how the h*ck world tendency works, lol goodjob;
world tendency goes up every time you kill a boss, a dragon (red or blue in boletaria castle), a named black phantom (but these only appear in pure black world tendency or near pure black), a primev[a]l demon (only appears in nearly pure black tendency), or an invader
your world tendency also goes up when you "resurrect" (effectively banish) a co-op blue phantom from your game, basically because it gives them their human body back, but nobody does this and it's stupid
and of course, your world tendency goes down if you die when human or you "sin" by killing a named npc that's in body form (including old king doran)
[spoiler]i forgot about that ev[a]l error lmao[/spoiler]
i'm just surprised that it apparently takes significantly less to get to pure white than i initially believed
i thought i'd have needed to beat every boss in any area (aside from boletaria because it has the dragons and a few other extras) to get to pure white from neutral, and so i assumed that my death in body form in latria ruined my chances for that area in this playthrough
but death apparently didn't hinder me and i got to pure white anyway even after killing only two of latria's bosses lol
sure is going to be fun wasting dozens of stones of ephemeral eyes to get to pure black after i'm done with all the pure white events, though
[spoiler]
i suppose that's where duplication comes in handy #cheater4lyfe[/spoiler]
yeah i just self-duped the ephemeral eyes
also maiden astrea's soul and a couple other things to make getting the platinum less painful
did you dupe any of the pure ___stones
depending on your soul level, would you be willing to give my sorry cheating ass a few once i'm finished with everything else lol (in the very likely event that i don't end up obtaining the rarest ones legitimately)
i duped most of the materials that i actually had, but i never had pure bladestone or pure darkmoonstone. snowy gave me the +5 weapons he made with them by way of online phantom duping. i can do the same for you at some point for those, and give you materials i duped for others.
sounds good giggle;
took down old hero with no damage lol sillydood;
not that that should be impressive as he's blind
yeah he's super easy even with just melee strategies
i swear to the old one, i'm going to bomb from software hq if ever i have to witness another kkkrystal lizard that carries an otherwise unobtainable ore thrust its idiotic self off a cliff
thief's ring + bow
but regardless of strategies to kill those crystal lizards, it's still a very rare drop, and the lizards have a limited spawn so it's still utter bullshit
i tried that (because it's exactly what the wiki suggests)
it ran off the precipice and died anyway the second time i shot it
dirty colossus dead
at this rate, i'll be finished with this playthrough in about 2/3 the time it took me originally, and that's despite the fact that i'm collecting every single item and killing (or just losing) every lizard and doing all tendency events this time around
One of the crystal lizards in Dragon God's arena ran through a wall to its demise. (http://boyah.net/forums/Smileys/default/999999999.png)
anyway, dealt the finishing blow to dragon god with the dragon bone smasher rofl
The Penetrator has become the penetrated. THE POWER OF GOD
did u fight him w/biorr
but of course
and there goes the old monk phantom
did u fight the invader version
No, unfortunately, and I tried three times to get a human invader rather than the boring AI phantom. It doesn't seem like there are too many people invading these days. :(
black phantom lord rydyell is ridiculous
i hate black phantom selen vinland more than any of the others, since you have to fight her in 5-2 and she'll run away into the swamp to heal. where you can't run.
goodbye storm king
you were always my favorite boss fight :'(
pure moonlightstone get
pure darkmoonstone (x2) get
sillydood;
if my luck continues, the only pure stone i'll really need to worry about is pure bladestone smithicide;
did you get those pure darkmoonstones legit??? what the fuck tec
"legit" in the sense that i didn't go begging strangers for them online, yes lol
but i did use a bit of an exploit that (like virtually every other souls glitch) takes advantage of certain gaps in the game's saving patterns
basically if you're extremely careful, you can kill a crystal lizard and check to see what it's dropped without the game autosaving the lizard's death
if it turns out not to be the item you're looking for, you can quit the game through the psn menu and try again, and repeat as many times as it takes before it drops the needed item
that's what i did
and i sure wish i had known about it earlier lol
[spoiler]
#cheater4lyfe[/spoiler]
anyway if anyone would like any pure stone aside from bladestone, i can now afford to part with a few of each sillydood;
you can afford to part with an infinite amount of them considering that you can just dupe them
lol yeah i was understating for comedic effect, i made sure to duplicate those pure darkmoon and moonlightstones the instant i got them
too bad i can't cheat my way into a pure bladestone smithicide;
it's no wonder i had such a difficult time with this game in my first playthrough
my vitality was only 16 befuddlement
rip maiden astraea
may the old one forgive me for my sins
the crystal lizard genocide campaign is well underway :)
i now have at least one of every stone in the game except for pure bladestone smithicide;

kaz or snowy, whichever of you has the lower soul level, would you be willing to let me hold your bladestone weapon and foe's ring for a few seconds :'(
i would certainly be willing to sometime yes
what's your level lol
I'd help, but Kaz is a lower level than me lol
kaz, i should now be within your range if not very close to it
i'd like to borrow your dexterity weapon whenever's most convenient for you lol

now all that's left for me to platinum is dark souls 2
should i just kill myself in the nexus whenever i regain my humanity from killing a boss? doesn't dying as a human make the game harder or something? i always waste being human by dying to something stupid anyway awdood;
yes, always
losing your humanity outside of the nexus reduces your chances for achieving white tendency (and thus inhibits you from partaking in certain white tendency events) and does make the game slightly more difficult per human-form death (by bringing your tendency down)
the only time it ever makes sense to die in human form outside of the nexus is if you want darker tendency for black tendency events lol
oh ok >_<' Demon's Souls: Prepare to Kill Yourself Edition
basically
but at least i can fulfill my desire to leap from great heights to my demise vicariously through my character happydood;
plus i mean the scream that male characters make upon falling to their death in human form in this game is hilarious
so if you're too overburdened too pick up a weapon and then you leave the level, it's gone forever right?
yes
thats shitty
i lost the crushing battle axe
make good use of stockpile thomas on every return to the nexus so that doesn't happen, you should only ever be carrying with you the absolute necessities
also i'm willing to bet you had some consumables or lesser gear that you could have disposed of, you should always prioritize new gear over things like grass/arrows/abundant ore etc.
oh yeah, I think you can leave all the stones with him and still upgrade stuff? It's been a while since I've played but I think you can just give all of them to him.

wtf that phantom mindflayer :'(
Lmao yeah those black phantom mindflayers are awful. there's two of them (unless your world tendency is closer to black)
Aside from the spell that completely nullifies magic, the best way to kill any mindflayer is probably to make them miss with something and then run up to them asap and whack at them repeatedly because they have no poise and will be stunned by p much any attack.
Also, that electric green ball they shoot to stun you...even if it misses, they will still run up to you as if you were stunned, so you can take that as an opportunity to kill them.
none of my attacks stunned it tho psyduck;
anti-magic field is great but it also disables your magic goowan
holy shit the maneaters :'(
Did they eat your man?
i fell off the edge lmao
yeah, the real boss of that fight is the endless abyss beneath that narrow and unguarded bridge
what a horrible place for a boss lol
use the brazier in the center to your advantage, try to always keep the maneater(s) on the other side, only attack when there's an opening and keep off the rest of the bridge if you can
also, know that if you manage to cut off their tails they can no longer use magic attacks
thanks for the tips. ill definitely try the tail thing
Quote from: Nyerp on July 12, 2015, 04:19:58 PM
none of my attacks stunned it tho psyduck;
oh. idk then, i guess i just whacked at it and it died before it could counterattack then or smth, i don't even remember
flame weapons are especially effective against mindflayers, they flail wildly for a few seconds after being hit leaving them completely open to subsequent attacks
i would always take my trusty flame long sword with me to world 3, they simply can't retaliate after the one hit it takes to trap them in a fatal stun lock
yeah that sword makes those guys trivial lmao
ALSO I BEAT THE MANEATERS!!!! [glow=black,2,300]with the help of 16 half moon grasses[/glow] sillydood;
beating them got me pure white world tendency. thank god for the wiki or else i'd never know how to take advantage of it!!!
i wanna live in a white world...
well at least you didn't use the lame thymemethod of shooting the first maneater through the fog door sillydood;
that was also my method in my first playthrough sillydood;
Remember to kill yourself to maintain that tendency! nyandood;
though i think once you've activated the tendency event in world 3 it remains permanently unlocked even if your tendency should fall
my "method" was being lucky enough that the second maneater completely forgot about me when i ran to the brazier and i was able to finish off the first one before fighting it n_u i think the thief's ring caused it
yeah if one gets far enough away while you have the thief's ring on, it can de-aggro. there's a couple bosses throughout the souls franchise who can do that because of the sheer size of their boss rooms.
the last time i fought them, i actually just fought the first maneater right next to the entry fog door and just kinda strafed around it in circles and whacked at it, i've never had much of a strategy for them aside from making sure to cut their tails off and finishing off the first one as quickly as possible
WTF I FUCKING LOST MY PURE WHITE TENDENCY?? JUST BY TURNING THE FUCKING GAME ON???? FUCK THIS GAME how do i get it back what the FUCK
what world were you in when you noticed it'd gone down
this could be one of two things:
1. the internet is a variable in the game's tendency calculations - if the average aggregated tendency of all the players on your server is closer to black, it'll move your own closer to black; if the average is closer to white it'll move yours closer to white (though considering the game's mostly dead online, that really shouldn't affect you too much if at all)
2. you only ever achieved pure white tendency in the tower of latria but you've now moved on to a different world, note that changes in tendency are always world-specific (eg you can be pure black in one world and pure white in another and any tendency changes that occur in one world have no effect whatsoever on your status in the others)
i had just turned the game on and was in the nexus. it must have been the internet thing. i was able to free rydell but not do any of the other shit in 3-1. do i just have to wait for the random internet thing to get it back up to pure or am i fucked and have to kill the boss of 3-3? ugh

i'm not sure why that would have happened befuddlement
while it's possible it was indeed other players on your server dragging your tendency down, i kind of doubt it because of just how limited demon's souls' online activity is today
are you certain you didn't die in human form in world 3
what you could try is playing offline and see if that helps
also the other thing is that once physical barriers to tendency events/items are removed by achieving pure white tendency in world 3, they should never return even if your tendency falls later on, i have no idea why the other things would still be inaccessible to you
worst case scenario, yes, you may have to beat the boss of 3-3 in order to unlock everything else
i know i didn't die as a human. i killed myself in the nexus.
i never actually went to 3-1 with pure tendency, just 3-2. so i guess the game didn't count that to remove the barriers?
lmao i think i shot up 10 levels thanks to 4-2 goonish
what should i do with satsuki? his sword is garbage, but giving it back to him will just make him attack me. and killing him apparently lowers world tendency. should i just put his shit sword in storage and ignore him forever????
edit: fuck it i'll just ignore him

you shouldn't have to, once you achieve pure tendency in any world the effects should be immediate and worldwide
not to mention, there isn't even a way to get back to 3-1 from 3-2 without warping to the nexus
i honestly can't think of a single explanation for why you'd have been able to access some of latria's pure white tendency events but not others befuddlement
just beat 3-3's boss and hope that fixes it i guess lol
as for satsuki, yes, i'd ignore him until you're done with the white tendency events in world 4
lol i think the only white tendency events are to get his sword and give it to him
i'll ignore him just to make 4-3 easier i guess
that asshole attacked me while i was fighting an invader at the same time once
fuck satsuki
also, yeah makoto is only a good weapon to lower your health with to the point of being given a bonus with the clever cat ring, not to actually use as a weapon. you equip it, let your health drain, switch to desired weapon and cat ring, enjoy attack boost at the cost of your health being really low

Makoto is really good for PVP since it has really high bleed on it, but that's about it. Hiltless could even be used.
5-2 was the hardest level yet thanks to those 2 fucking giant guys holy shit smithicide;
also is it just me or was the boss fight literally just a mobile version of 5-1's boss lol
yep, 5-2 and 5-1 have pretty much the exact same boss, except 5-2's is even easier because it's even weaker to fire. you can literally kill it with one cast of firestorm if you run right up to it and cast it.
dragon god was...interesting befuddlement but it was kind of anticlimactic since 2-3 was just a hallway and the boss fight

yeah, it was pretty disappointing that he was essentially just a gimmick boss....
track down the catapult, use it, you win!
looked cool though i suppose
still to this day don't know how to reliably avoid his punches tho tbh
almost every final boss in every world is just "a hallway and then the boss"
3-3 you climb up some stairs from the maneater bridge and then you're at the boss, 4-3 you leave the boss room from the old hero literally into the 4-3 boss fight immediately, 5-3 you walk through a short hallway and then the """""boss""""""
(btw all of these are gimmick bosses too, just all very different types of gimmicks)
1-4 is the exception, as while the distance from 1-3 archstone to 1-4 boss is pretty short, there's a ton of enemies and a pretty major stage hazard/miniboss
guess who accidentally let ostrava die in 1-3!!!! smithicide; FUCK
at least i killed penetrator in one try but it was a hollow victory
did you get the mausoleum key from him at least
you'll miss out on a few words of late-game exposition and pure clearstone, which sucks, but the key is by far the most important of his rewards
ya i got the key :(
when you fight the guy that the mausoleum key unlocks, if you actually kill him instead of just taking off the required half of his health, you get a trophy. godspeed nyerp
bassir;
yeah good luck with that fight should you choose to kill him lol goowan
well im probably not gonna try that until right before the final boss lol

He's "supposed to be" the final boss, but I don't think the game ends after fighting him. I think if you're able to fight him, but still haven't beat other bosses, then the game goes on.
I can't fully remmeber though. I might say look it up to be sure.
1-4 is not the final boss by any means. You can fight him at any point after you've killed another area's last boss (as 1-3 is locked until you do so). Cinematically, he is best saved for last because he's story-important and stuff. That's all. Also he can be pretty fucking hard.
The game progresses to its finale after you've killed every boss demon. At that point, a new area in the Nexus becomes available, and you can end the game at your convenience whenever you choose. You can do as much as you want before ending the game.
ok thx!!!!
lol i got an npc for the old monk fight oh well
it's virtually impossible to get anything but the npc these days :(
Yeah, pretty much. DeS online scene is almost nonexistent at this point, pretty well restricted to a handful of players seeking PvP on 4-1.
killed storm king (THE POWER OF GOD AWESOME) and maiden astraea (:()
[spoiler]i fell into the pit of babies and died sillydood;[/spoiler]
allant is complete fucking horseshit
is this even possible without the ability to roll fast?
what do you mean "roll fast"
you're not fat rolling, are you? a roll with your equip load under 50% or your max is what you should always have at the very least.
there are movement speeds faster than below 50% equip load, but the differences are less noticeable than under 50% vs over 50%, and generally unnecessary
some simple tips to kill allant include:
-do not use magic weapons or spells as allant is highly magic resistant
-keep moving so as to not get caught by the soulsucker grab
-use your shield a lot, most of his standard strikes are easily absorbed by your shield
-when he points his sword down and starts glowing, he is about to do his AoE attack. if you are a good distance from him, you can run away from this, if not, instead attack him because you can interrupt the attack with your own.
-since this is a generally close-range melee fight with an aggressive boss, you're going to be dodging a lot and absorbing a lot of hits in your shield, so good stamina management is a must. you can use the eternal warrior's ring to help, but mostly you just need to be good at knowing when you can leave your shield down to get stamina back faster. and remember that blocking his rush of combo'd strikes takes more stamina than simply dodging out of the way and avoiding the whole combo in one dodge.

uhhh getting that ring is harder than the final boss lol
the main problem i have with this fight is that sometimes he starts that fucking combo RIGHT after i attack him and he destroys me. so i guess i really do need the fast roll
also he soulsucked me once and i got really pissed and ragequit lol. that move is bullshit
Quote from: Thyme on July 28, 2015, 06:25:54 PM
and there's always the "thyme is a fucking faggot" method of [glow=black,2,300]shooting arrows at him from a distance right when you enter[/glow]
tbh if i get soulsucked again i'm trying this
oh damn you've been avoiding rolling? tbh rolling well is the ideal way to play any souls game. i mean shields are great but a balance between the two is what you want. and you'll want to be good at rolling if you ever play bloodborne cause that one doesn't have shields and it's faster-paced
anyway, i mean yeah you have to sacrifice some armor strength to be able to roll better. it's not a bad switch if you do get better at rolling, as being able to dodge and take no damage at all is certainly better than being able to withstand slightly more damage.
i think for my demon's souls build i wear pretty heavy armor but i use the ring that doubles max equip load so that i still stay under 50% of my max. ring of great strength. very easy to find, it's in 1-1 under the dragon's tail in the dragon nest area.
yeah i have that ring. guess i'll try it. thanks
BEAT THE GAME AWESOME i give it a 9/10
i beat false allant in one try after putting the ring of great strength on lol. i can't believe i played through most of the game without rolling. i didn't even have to sacrifice any of the armor i was wearing
thanks for all the help & advice guys. i'll be sure to spam the dark souls thread someday too :)
yeah rolling is probably the single most important mechanic of the entire series lol
glad you enjoyed, def play dark souls soon too. it's even better imo wrench;
congratulations nyerp giggle;
i'm amazed you even made it as far as you did without rolling lol, it's one of the most essential abilities in the game
even well before false allant, i can't imagine how difficult it must have been to take down earlier swift and agile bosses like flamelurker (well, the legitimate way at least)
how did you feel about the ending lol
and i very much look forward for seeing you spam the dark souls thread, it really is better than demon's in nearly every way
tbh as adamant as i am about mostly playing souls games "legit" as in mostly with melee tactics and a lot of rolling, for flamelurker i still mostly hide behind my purple flame shield cause i just don't really like that boss
i was determined to fight him legitimately in my second playthrough after cowering behind a rib cage in my first
i didn't even use the purple flame shield (mostly because i couldn't yet wield it), but he's really not so bad as long as you stay on the move and pay attention to his move telegraphs so that you know when to roll lol (((and really that strategy could apply to pretty much any soul boss)))
honestly i would even say i think he's pretty fun now

yeah for flamelurker i waited until i was able to use the purple flame shield and i also switched to the crescent falchion because my longsword just wasn't cutting it and he's weak to magic. it just involved a lot of running in and hitting him right after his explosion attacks and then backing off. this method also worked well for penetrator since you can just duck under his pentetration attack and get a hit in. allant was the first boss to be so aggressive as to immediately punish me for attacking him.
i liked the ending. poor maiden in black :'( allant's motivation for doing what he did was pretty lame though
if nyerp can beat this game.....
play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he's fine, i just think his design is boring and as far as aggressive bosses go he's actually pretty tame, plus i just hate 2-2 in general so i'm already annoyed by the time i get to him lol
imo dark souls 1 and 2 have way better quick, aggressive bosses. especially when the dlc is included.
and obviously bloodborne because there are tons of bosses like that in that one but i haven't played it so
demon's souls is mostly for cool, weird bosses or interesting gimmicks and really good worldbuilding and atmosphere. its the dark souls games that have all the funnest boss fights to me
