This game worked me so hard that I am scared to go back.

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.

Dying sucks. Im also having a hard time figuring out just wtf is going on in the menus. I spent a bunch of souls on some shield I cant even use because I didnt understand the notations.

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
― الله basedأكبر (forksclovetofu), Monday, 7 February 2011 06:35 (thirteen years ago) link
apparently no online play as they dont want to have the upkeep of servers.....
I might have read that wrong....though.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Monday, 7 February 2011 09:50 (thirteen years ago) link
servers offline May 31. if you haven't played it yet, now is the time.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 12 April 2012 13:12 (twelve years ago) link
is the combat in dark souls better than in demon's? i have no problem with pointless numbing difficulty (much love for etrian odyssey) but i felt like the camera and getting hung up on the environment contributed to way more frustration/death/soul loss than the deliberate system quirks (which i really liked).
― adam, Thursday, 12 April 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
via brief stints w/ both, i can say that they're the exact same game. almost. the sole difference is that demon's is set in a continuos, "open world" map whereas in dark you have a hub in which you select levels to travel to. it's like purgatory, kind of and is actually sort of nice just to set the controller down within and let the music play while you toast your freeze-dried egg mcmuffins you bought from costco
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
also, most people say it's easier in dark souls considering that when you die you don't restart w/ half-life
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
yeah no pause is a dick move (i know it's for online purposes but still)--there's a tension in having inventory management in real time and i appreciate that but no excuse for not having a regular old pause no-menu kinda option.
― adam, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
there are a number of significant differences in terms of world and mechanics but the gameplay is very similar in each.
no pause is great. coming back from the bathroom to find yourself being invaded by some asshole is a key part of the experience. you can always just quit to menu if having no pause is really riling you.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:28 (twelve years ago) link
hmm... can you pause with the PS button? I never tried that.
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:28 (twelve years ago) link
game still runs. using the ps button will at least stop you accidentally hitting a shoulder button and jumping off a cliff tho...

― thomp, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:58 (twelve years ago) link

― thomp, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
The internet-enabled parts of this game are nice, but are they crucial? I never got far enough into the game for it to really matter.
