I just picked it up.  Game is starting great.

One complaint:  I preordered it at GameStop and they ran out of the artbook/soundtrack thing.  I really wanted it.

PS:I just finished the first stage.  I think I died three times and it took me about an hour to finish.  I'm definately going to be putting alot of time into this game.

I would ask them if they can get you one, if not then contact atlus, maybe they'll send you one.  I almost didn't get it, I had to ask them if there was something else, I knew there was a separate artbook for getting the deluxe and they almost screwed me out of it.

I've been playing all night and i'm still only on the second chapter of the Small King stone, the section were the dragon keeps setting sections of the bridge on fire. I cannot wait until I can kill the SOB!
 
The game is very tough but even still it's a game that I know I plan on getting a plat for no matter how long it takes, it's just an awesome experiance so far and I can't wait to see what comes further into it.
 
If anyone ever wants to do some co-op feel free to add me to your friends list (ReaperXL7) I havent really tried out the online yet but I will be doing so soon.
 
So far this is one of the best RPGs i've played this whole gen, whole heartedly recommend it. All I can say is be prepared to become this games b***ch for awhile.

does anyone know if they fixed any of the online on the NA version that people complained about on the JPN version?

it sucks that you can't join or play with specific players

Everything that people complained about, lack of text chat, voice chat, or inviting friends was done on purpose to make it more difficult.  I actually like that I could potentially invite someone to play with me but having them end up killing me for my souls.  Oh and I like your sig, very very true.

Great game; excellent thread...


Bravo Tetsuryu

and another thing..... ...you kept reading!...

Honestly most people here have probably never played it but Demon Souls reminds me alot of Ghosts and Goblins(Arcade/Nes) especially with the fact that when you beat it you end up playing the game again only it gets harder.
 
I just can't get over how awesome the game is, I  think just about every boss I have come up against with the exception of a couple have been more rewarding than just about any final boss in any game i've played this gen yet.
 
I havent beaten it just yet as i'm taking my time, but I would say King Allant, or the Old King are the hardest bosses i've faced so far.
 
It does amaze me though the comments some idiots make when complaining about the game. The main draw of the game as awhole has been the difficulty so it makes me chuckle when someone who clearly did not do any research at all complains because the game is "too hard" and makes them want to cry.
 
The other funny complaint is that it's not Oblivion, which if alot of those people had ever played morrowind they would probably have never touched Oblivion due to the steep learning curve in morrowind. The game is nothing like Oblivion so get over it.
 
It's just nice when a dev steps up and makes a game pretty much strictly for the "Hardcore" audiance without making any consessions for the casual crowed. I can't wait to see if From Software makes a sequel.

I was actually going CRAZY  over not being able to get the pre order bonuses cuz I wont have the money till the 20th BUT Amazon is actually giving them away with either versions REGULAR purchase  and you even get free shipping ....hopefully I will be able to grab the bonuses since they made it very clear that its while supply lasts

 

Ok in a double post rant
 
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
2 days to ordering my Demons Souls Deluxe Edition
 
Deluxe Edition GONE
Pre Order Bonus Give Away GONE
 
and both things were there YESTERDAY WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

 
 

 

That sucks, man, it really does.

This title is one of my all time favorites. Putting down extra for the Deluxe was certainly worth it. I would hope for a sequel (if they can work around the story somehow) or at the very least offer some form of downloadable content. I wish this game would sell enough (or just sell period) to warrant one.

At the moment, I'm doing a bit of farming for Bladestone Chunks and Pures. I want to do as much as I can before starting another game which includes picking the worlds clean of any loot. Hopefully getting the all rings is possible in the first playthrough. All I need left are the Friend's and Foe's. It's a bit frightening adventuring with over a million souls on hand (and not being able to level up) just waiting to be gone. Not to mention I still have two major Black Phantoms left to slay.

Dude, I would have hooked you up.

Official Demon's Souls Hype Thread

WOW things keep getting better and better
 
to add MORE insult to the injury Atlus has confirmed there will be NO more Deluxe Editions and that they were a limited run (I guess for a change the limited editions were actually limited) and now that I was looking to get the Deluxe Edition from a third party vendor at a slightly higher price I find that after this announcement that prices have skyrocket to the stratosphere from $5-$10 more to HUNDREDS
 

 
I should listened to you Tetsuryu
