Demon's Souls

[Atreides]

gonna play it a couple times, whats a good noob friendly setup to learn the ropes on my first run?

if you pick Royal to start you get an MP refresh ring, as well as some max mp+ gear, and they start at soul level 1 so you can pretty much build the character into whatever you want.

Knights are a solid choice for starting out a melee character (you can get the ring the royal gets later anyway, in 4-1), as they're powerful enough to make the first mission a great deal simpler.

Like I said earlier though, classes are relatively unimportant since you can build any character any way you want.

Should have gotten this version then would of liked that book

[Kyo]

Could he handle those items with less care at all, lol.

[Atreides]

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who loves to smell new games

edit: Kinda wish I hadn't imported and gotten that version instead too, meh.

[Kiarax]

Fucking lol at sniffing them, I must say it's a guilty pleasure of mine but saying and doing it like that on YouTube cracks me up to no end. Tempted to import that version since still no sign of an EU release.

Glad im not the only one who sniffs new games.

Any idea how they handle people wanting to pvp? Seems pretty broken if some really high level can join a low lvls game and gank them.

[Kyo]

That video tells a little about it.

The bosses are incredibly hard, I'm only able to beat them because I find spots that they get stuck on.. lol

Is this in stores today? I saw the release date was yesterday, but Gamestop is still listing it as a pre-order on their website.

Yeah I got the automated call yesterday after I called and the guy they said tomorrow.

I'm not sure but I may wait till tomorrow if that's the case. I hope they don't do this shit when Uncharted 2 comes out it better come out on the day it's supposed to come out.

[Qalbert]

the call I got said this evening, guy in the store said tomorrow. Gonna call tonight 30 mins before close and ask
Edit: manager called me. I have the game in my hand now. Don't know about your store, but you can call and ask.

[Cephius]

Well I went in to reserve Modern Warfare 2, asked if they had it and they did. Only got 3 copies though, and I'm in a pretty high traffic area. I guess it depends on when the truck gets to your store, but it's definitely out today it seems.

Maybe I'm just imagining it, but I played through the Asian version 5 times and I swear in the U.S. version the monsters have less HP and do less damage.

I started out as royal(the power play for starting out), and there's just monsters that die to one soul arrow that used to die to two.

And I got hit by the tower knight and it only took 1/5th my HP where it was 1/2 to 3/4 before. Asian copy is lent out atm so I can't check, but man, I'd be super pissed. I thought we got over the "wahwah game is2 hard for Americanz!" back in the 90s...

[Elcura]

Probably thought it would affect sales if the game was too hard. I know that's the main concern people have when it comes to this game, most of what you read is "IS THE GAME HARD?!" or some other bullshit.

A hard game is the unpopular choice.

[Kwijiboe]

Soul arrow is way strong. Has let me beat so many bad guys that would have been impossible.

[Kazen]

How good is Barbarian for a starting melee class?

[Kwijiboe]

Just don't go without a shield.
