I think I might have figured this game out! So you die 5000 times and each time you die you get a little bit better at the game, right? And then by the time you die of old age in real life you're good at the game.

sub "die of old age" for "in-game hour 20" and you got it.

coincidentally am reminiscing with a friend who picked this back up recently and is burning through some of the later stages. so many golden memories. would love to play again but the torment is still so fresh in my mind that just thinking about it gives me the Fear.

The difficulty to overcome is within you, not the game...
compare those adverts where a whole family is playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii and laughing and dad comes in and he's brought snacks... and everyone laughs more...
now look at yourself at two in the morning, when an end of level boss pounds you and you have to walk through the entire level again...YOU CRIED

So I beat this on accident earlier today. I killed the boss with minimal effort when it just sat there when I shot it with like 15 fireballs..
― mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 03:55 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, the end guy is an odd cakewalk; especially when compared to some of the other final bosses.

actually that could also be 1a
I actually didn't die that much! I may even still be in the single digits. I'm using a Thief, playing slowly + cautiously, and making sure to take some time blocking and watching enemies to figure out attack patterns. After that it's just been a matter of using the right weapon (I have a scimitar for soft things and a mail breaker for hard things) and counter, stab, Bob's your uncle (and is also dead). Groups can be a pain, though, and that first boss (the big writhing fuckpile of shield-spear-blob-things) is a GOD. DAMN. ASSHOLE. It doesn't help that I wasted all my firebombs on my first attempt and I'm too lazy to grind up a bajillion more souls so I can buy more.
― a black white asian pine ghost who is fake (Telephone thing), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:40 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, you know I watched somebody play this when it was all white tendency and it's about, oh, half to a quarter as hard as it is on all black. Good luck with that.Btw, do NOT try to grind before you beat the first boss. You start grinding after that.

fyi for anyone who has been keeping up, ^this is rebranded Project Dark. seems like they started out making something 'similar but different' and as Demons Souls kept blowing up (comparatively) the suits told them to make it 'similar but very similar' instead. The Cursed Crusade, due out this summer from Demon Souls' publisher, is also a notional successor, supposedly with some themes/elements retained.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link
"Dark Souls is not a sequel to Demon’s Souls by any means. However, it’s created by the same producers and director and so the ideologies, concepts, and themes have carried over and are similar. It’s a totally new game with similar concepts."sounds like a sequel to me
