@ axe/dragon: i think i sunk 20 to 40 hours into demons souls, not sure.  it just got so repetitive & as i said the only challenge i found was leveling up before taking on bosses i was unprepared for (bosses who were pretty well all the same to fight; dodge, dodge, strike, dodge, strike, repeat).

Yeah, don't worry - I didn't find it hard either. I only died once in Demon's Souls in the 30-40 hrs I played it but that was at the start and I bumped into 2 dragons that burnt me to a cinder. lol As Graph said, all you have to do is level up and then it's easy - I had ranged attacks (bow and magic) as well so I was just dropping dudes from afar. Basic stuff. I enjoyed it however - but I'm yet to go back and finish it. Will definitely have to start again as it's been way too long - I got an import copy before it was released in Australia.

yeah the dragon on the bridge got me.  walking along perfectly normal looking bridge.  oh i'm on fire.  'you have died'.  respawn 10 feet from where it happened & now there's a dragon sitting above the bridge lol.

Nah, it wasn't the dragon on the bridge, it was the ones sitting on the cliff edge above a grass area - I went to observe and loot but was too far in before it turned around and burnt me to a crisp. Went and got my souls back though - I just didn't know they did that - I was trying to be sneaky as well. haha. I killed a dragon on a bridge though, pretty sure it was the red one.

[GraphicX]

are those the blue dragons ?  if so i just used arrows on them, they just stand there & take it til they're dead lol.  i always carried max arrows for doing stuff like that.

[GasClown]

I can't remember what colour they were, could have been blue... it was so long ago - years ago in fact. haha. But yeah, that's how I killed the red dragon on the bridge (with arrows) - took a while though but pinch of piss to defeat.

Here's the image - it's that part where there are two.

Fun fact in demon's souls you can not kill the blue dragon  till you fight it as a mini boss before the false king so there is no way you would have killed it at the start Also I still have both games so if you want a hand let me know.

So finished demons a couple days ago, just PVPing and trophy finishing now.

A little on the easy side imo, though that could be all that asian pvp/ng+7 back on dark souls lol. I was all ready for an ass kicking since all the people i knew that played this said it was harder than ds but nope, easy. Was hard at first getting back into a souls game after a while but it all came back. Only boss to actually beat me was the gargoyles, oops i mean maneater since i was poorly equipped to take them on.

Deffo recommend giving this a try you ps+ people.

Oh it's easy - just need to do some farming and you're right to go.

In total, roughly 8 deaths. Most being the gargoyles.. One rather depressing death thanks to targeting a storm beast over the skele in front of me resulting in cliff diving haha. Think i killed the last boss at like level 55ish.

Unlike my trophy playthrough, ive got about 40+ odd deaths since im trying to do the whole pure black stuff haha.

Not even, i was beyond shocked how easy materials came about compared to Dark souls where you did have to farm for them. I've only hard to farm for 1 purestone (Blade) the rest came from either bosses or the lizards

Nice, my bro would be really into this haha.

[GraphicX]

so how would people get access to the beta ?  just through ps+ ?

[Saintsy]

Well from what i know its a closed beta so i would assume it'll be one of those "Submit an entry to win a chance at a code" comps. Keen as all fuck for this haha, will post more when i know more

Stuff your bro, if you get a code you give it to me!

[GraphicX]

if you could that'd be great.  maybe we could all enter for codes & any one that wins one & doesn't want it can share it.

Top stuff Saintsy, that's newsblog worthy .
