Dark Souls: Prepare to Die (PS3/360/PC)

[Doombear]

I was much more interested in gameplay details, and just the look and feel of things. I don't want to ruin everything 2 weeks out so I am kind of happy I missed some bosses.

There are tons of things I am liking so far though. The invasion items being consumable should curb griefing. The seeming lack of a carry limit. The cunning mobs, hiding, luring into traps, etc. The difficulty! Looks amazing. I cannot wait.

I'm pretty sure I've seen an archer pull out a shield and sword once approached, that changes things.

Apparently From Software is sending this nasty piece of work into people's games that are playing Dark Souls online before street date.

[Viserdes]

Huh? do you mean theyre putting super powerful BPs into peoples games who are playing it early? I hope they do that for the NA release that'd be awesome to fight those things.

I wish I knew more, this was just posted in a GAF topic. Original image/discussion was here: http://blog.esuteru.com/archives/4933477.html

Still no new streams? I am disappoint.

Must not break street date! Must not break street date! Must not break street date! Must not break street date! Must not break street date!

By the way people are reporting (and the image up there may be the reason or the proof) that once again Map HP is 1900 and Max Stamina is 160. The icons in the lower right are the spell slots. You can apparently have up to 8 eventually, and you can clearly use the same spell in multiple slots. Spells have different spell counts/uses too.

That black phantom thing is awesome, lol. Would want to fight it though, just out of morbid curiosity.

The guy playing on the stream sucks so bad... Someone who isn't terrible at this game get a stream, kthx.

[Doombear]

Bah, not a fan of most Nico streams, but here is one if anyone is awake: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv64627773?ref=ser

Ah here we go, another non NicoNico stream currently live: http://www.twitch.tv/teakdoc

UGH ok both of these people suck, and I seriously wonder if they have any idea what a Demon's Souls is.

[Cichy]

couldnt help myself and took a look, so far all of them suck balls at this game

[Doombear]

It makes it almost comedic to watch, and since they suck so bad the likelihood of them getting too far and spoiling too much is very low. =) I can't take anymore though, I have to get some sleep. Wake me up in 2 weeks.

[Cichy]

lol he walked down some staircase and the dark knight came out to toss his salad

[Doombear]

Haha, yeah that is right where I stopped. If I don't I am not going to. That was hilarious though, well the spear knight death before that was pretty funny. "Oh, another skele knight, I got this" ... YOU DIED!

[Cichy]

This will be way harder with the way enemies appear and crowd you. I like how some of the zombies just climb up from behind the walls and get in your path.

[Zeb]

Yeah, seems like a lot more multiple enemies at once in this one.

[Celeras]

What gives with potions in this one? Watching some baddie die on stream, 10 pots. Uses down to 2. Dies, releases, has 10 again?

He's not too far in, he's only beat the Gargoyle bosses. And he's not an awful player, so that's a plus.
