As much as I fucking loved this game I just can't bring myself to pick it back up. Every single time I just go "Nghhhh" after about 10 minutes of play and put it away again. That said, man I'm excited for Project Dark.

[TXTSWORD]

I imported this way back when, the version that had a full english option. Wish I had held out though so I could enjoy some quality PvP. Seemed WAY too laggy all the times I tried to PvP on asian servers. I remember making two +5 blessed guillotine axe's only to realize having a second one was entirely unnecessary v.v

[TXTSWORD]

Finally got my copy back that I loaned out. Decided to play it again for the first time in like a year. I imported long before it came to the US B) I'm sure a lot of you did too so who am I bragging to? Anyways, started up a new character... played around glitching it's shitty character build system in order to make wacky colored characters. Decided to make a priest, my favorite class. "Decided to play up to the Nexus" so I could beat the vanguard and get the EZ start bonus. Sucked tho, got wiped down by the vanguard. Can't believe how bad I am now at this videogaaaame. Made it through 1-1 though without any deaths... not like that's a big deal thoooo. Reminiscing over what a great game it is, but unsure I want to continue since I've already made my ideal build... a character wearing miralda armor and using her guillotine axe with +5 blessed. Miralda<3 I have a crush on her I like the way she talks eheheh. I even made TWO +5 blessed guillotine axes... a fuck ton of work only to find out that dual wielding them doesn't really benefit me in any way D:

[TXTSWORD]

ngh project dark be mine now

[TXTSWORD]

Yeah maybe it's more like the backstab from dsouls.

Anyways, I thought I'd share some lovely words I picked up from the kotaku comments section :)

"You know, I really, really wanted to like Demons Souls. I bought it even. I tried to convince myself I liked it because other people said how awesome it was.

I just couldn't do it. I found it frustrating difficult, and not in a Mega Man or Meat Boy way but in a "why the hell am I wasting my time with this poorly designed nightmare" way. No story, no narrative, no real characters to speak up, nothing compelled me to keep playing it other than just wanting to be in the in-crowd.

Ended up trading it in for God of War III after sinking about 20 hours into it, still wondering what everyone loves about it"

[TXTSWORD]

I think I speak for brkrd! and I both when I say that if there is a fully translated Asian version again, we will import it again. Ain't gunna wait on no US release. I always imagined the PVP was so laggy because I was playing on Asian servers or sumn, are you saying the pvp in general was laggy?

[TXTSWORD]

Hehe well color me pro the. B)

[TXTSWORD]

Y u so mad that I speak good for u idiot. I know I certainly wouldn't wait even a month for localization.

[TXTSWORD]

An obvious hope for me is a more dedicated PvP type of area or mode or somethig that isn't player-created (like 4-1 was) I mean something separating the invasion mechanic and more serious PvP. I'm not articulating myself well but I assume you understand my meaning.

[TXTSWORD]

AnD I want to punish the people who heal in PvP. Oh we both bowed to signify a serious 1v1 and I'm losing? Let's make it take forever by using up all my potions and then still losing. Or the guys whose phantoms jump in on the action when they're losing.

[TXTSWORD]

Ah definitely I don't want the invasion to go away, it would just be nice to have PvP that wasn't forced using the invasion mechanic that's sort of flawed for serious PvP. And yeah, I never really minded the revival spell, it was pretty standard practice and I used it as well. I feel like I'm constantly trying to build a great PvP character while playing d souls, that's always my motivation, so I guess that's why a better more legitimate pvp system would be nice.

[TXTSWORD]

[TXTSWORD]

Idk if I totally agree with that school of thought. And honestly if they don't put in a more serious dedicated pvp I'll still be happy.

[TXTSWORD]

Yeah what's he's saying sounds like it comes from the same place as people saying games that are made more casual and sacrificing their interesting qualities are just "more streamlined".

[TXTSWORD]

Oh man, when I went to invade on 3-3 or w/e and accidentally became the boss and got myself that fancy tornado hat. What a great feeling.

[TXTSWORD]

I remember in my first playthrough a phantom invaded me in the mines of 2-2. That phantom was like going invisible, clouds of crazy shit were filling the area, then suddenly he would appear and break my armor with that bastard spear. I always kind of aspired to be that dude from then on. Completely terrifying and life wrecking.

I think we can all agree the "arena" concept sucked and just move on. I don't even know how I feel about the friend invite idea.

[TXTSWORD]

Well, Dark Souls is coming to bro box... and those people think all games are about beers and buddies. I wonder if that will affect the decision to include or disinclude those features. I can't help but be really wary of when one of my favorite games gets boxed. I've seen the results disappoint me far too many times :|

[TXTSWORD]

Gunna start up dsouls again when I get home.

[TXTSWORD]

No you're making yourself look like a huge idiot right now brk just stop man c u @ home hehehe

[TXTSWORD]

Man I was so busy playing D Souls that I didn't notice all this arguing about D Souls. I'm pretty with everything Remote is saying, though. D Souls brought a pretty unique experience, why do you really want to make it more similar to every other videogame when you could just go play every other videogame instead? And to the guy who said that Demon's Souls is like Adobe products... what the fuck man. "OK" Also, I like world and soul tendency. It really has an impact on how I choose to play the game or how thoughtfully I plan my level path. I opt not to die in the nexus to exploit and attempt to go 0 deaths to get pure white when I need it. (Then I guess I suicide to get pure black...) I dunno it's fun it's interesting... changes the reality of each area, which i think is pretty cool. Man. The only thing that I would have wanted MORE out of Demon's Souls... is MORE Demon's Souls. I played through it so many times that whenever I went to pick it up I would go "nghhh" and put it back down because I was going through the same shit over again with the same areas and the same enemy locations etc. Just like... a bigger demon's souls would work for me! One that I can't wreck in a day! Oh and yeah, lag.

[TXTSWORD]

But L4D is bad????? :|

Please D Souls, do not listen to this man for he knows not of what he speaks.

[TXTSWORD]

Uh I don't think the person who just invaded me was anywhere near my soul level, and was likely in new game+

I made a new priest character and went to 5-1 to get the early blessed mace +1. They broke in wearing miralda binded gear, used that cloud thang to break my weapon, then she used that fucking sword to blast me off a ledge. You know, the one that's only good for blasting people off of ledges...

[TXTSWORD]

Top Tube just like... play a different videogame, dude. There are plenty of games that are "streamlined" enough that you won't whine about it. I enjoyed Demon's Souls exactly the way it is and I don't want to see it going down a slippery slope of removing everything interesting about it because top tube cried on the internet about trivial shit that made the game worth playing. I don't want a game that tells me how to do everything. I want the experience of learning and figuring shit out for myself so don't run around saying shit that would ruin the spirit of one of the few games that offers a truly pure gaming experience for me. Just play a different videogame if you don't like ESSENTIAL demon's souls.

[TXTSWORD]

Alright perhaps I waa being a bit silly, but my point is that joy of discovery is an essential part of d souls, and top tube's suggested changed aren't in the spirit of that. I just get upset whebi see people trying to mold games I like into the games thy like instead. I always am reminded of the time istymbled on an ign article about monster hunter where the writer was saying that mh should have more story, be easier, be a fps, etc. It's like, "hey you already have that game 1000x over, leave me mh."

Gunna ask that everybody check in and confirm they've seen these screen shots^

I would hate myself if I allowed any of you to miss out.

This is the good stuff, boys.

[TXTSWORD]

Dang. Why is everyone trying to one up me?

I'm trying to make a name for myself on this here forum.

[TXTSWORD]

I was joking man haha.

I def think the best possible shit should be shared.

I can't even imagine being upset about something like that.

[TXTSWORD]

[TXTSWORD]

You haven't seen miralda? :O

You dufus.

I really like her introduction sound clip :)

I have a crush on her.

God, get yourself a character that uses faith/str and get miralda gear and the meat cleaver.

[TXTSWORD]

[TXTSWORD]

I pretty much know everything bout everything in d souls so just count on me B)

[TXTSWORD]

[TXTSWORD]

[TXTSWORD]

yeah I mean it's not like tendencies are required to enjoy the game, they're simply an unexplained bonus that you can feel really good about finding out on your own or look up if you really just need to get cool shit.

[TXTSWORD]

Dragon Bone Crusher. Jesus Christ. It's the Keel Smasher. What an embarrassing name change.

Hey, is the item that makes your weapons do magical damage still called "sticky white stuff" is the US version?

[TXTSWORD]

Nice B)

[TXTSWORD]

What? You can trade weapons and shit???? Uhhh...

Or I guess items? Or what...
