Demon Souls

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has played demon souls for the ps3 before?
Its a RPG ps3 exclusive and apparently its very satisfying to beat since when you die you lose your stuff.

I just bought it from https://www.game-lane.com.au for cheaper then i would be able to find it on ebay.

Also they are releasing a second game in this series has a different title though.

Discuss?

Remmeber, "Atlas Hates you because it Loves you." If you don't understand that phrase, don't play this game. Fans of the Digital Devil Saga, Persona, and Shin Megami Tensai have an idea of what it means. In Devil Survivor, you can doom yourself to the worst ending in the game by ONE action on Day 2, every action beyond that not mattering. Now take that level of sadistic dificulty, and apply that to every action in Demon Souls. Now multiply it by 3. You now know just how much Atlas Loves you.

Victor, I have nightmares about Demon's Souls.....@_@...now I can't sleep tonight. Damn you!!

I cant wait to give this game a whirl. Heard it was hard which is good.

No, it's good AND it's hard. Those are two different things. Hard can just be frustrating, or it can be a chalenge that makes triumph feel like an acomplishment. Just remember, dieing repeatedly is not only expected, it's a benefit.

As a side note, Atlus is making a "spiritual successor" to Demon's Souls, called Dark Souls. Good news is Dark Souls will actually have a tutorial this time around, instead of just plopping you in a level and watch you stumble through trial and error...at least in the beginning anyway.

Oh God an Atlas tutorial? Run!

This successor is also in development for the Xbox 360, so I am in rejoice as I cannot stand to play on my PS3 controllers for a game that involves such quick reflexes and steady timing.

I dont understand this game!!!

Edit: Im starting to understand this game now. I didnt think you were ment to die at the start.
Also the Magician is way better then the hunter. 2 Waves of the wand and a hard enemy is dead compared to a long hard battle with a hunter.
They do kind of just throw you into the game. They havent really explained much to me.
I do LOVE the fact that you can see other players fighting and also the messages left behind from other players. Ive left some myself .
Also i dont really know what to do with my souls. I cant seem to store them but if i go out and die with them then i might lose them. So i am feeling forced to spend them on things i dont really 100% need.

horde them until you finally finish the level. Also, if you die, just play upto the point where you died, you can collect your lost souls there. Trust me, you'll need as many as you can get because what everybody? ATLUS HATES YOU!!!

If you DO win your first fight, you die in an arbitrary cut-scene. Also remember, you're safer because there isn't a tutorial. When Atlas includes a tutorial because it feels sorry enough for you to do so, the game will destroy you.

you guys are useless.

Atlas?

Atlas...the company that makes the game?

its Atlus not Atlas. You can see why i got confused.
