Dark Souls is ok

[Sophist]

[Gaming Princess Luna]

I can agree, Demon Souls and Dark Souls are very different.
Even I liked the mana of Demon Souls more, but the tendencies were pretty annoying. :/
The hardest one is Dark Souls 2 for sure. You mostly die, till no enemies are alive. (\s/)

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

Decided to try again, the dude decided to jump off a cliff, for some reason.

I spend a little time grinding for stats and souls. Raised 6 stat points, and the gargoyles were far easier.
Now I just got to figure out what the hell I do next. I know I have to go down to that blight place, but I have no clue where it is.

I guess it's time to wander.

EDIT:
Some wandering later, found the Capra demon.
Also those damn ninja assholes. I hate em.

EDIT 2:
Killed Capra, and the rat dude.
Next is the gaping dragon.
shit

[yuyu!]

you all are ok

Gaping Dragon appears imposing, but it is the biggest pushover once you learn its attacks. If you have some spare humanity, there's a helpful NPC phantom right near the fog gate.

But that was the area I decided to quit my human low-level run. Some WotG jerk invaded me there, and I called it quits. I can only endure so much as every time I go through SF while human, some incontrovertible ass invades me and hides to the left of the final walkway.

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

Ok.
Also I have some resin, I should use that.

Dark Souls is one of the only games I love to do horribly at. Haven't played in a while, but last I did I was dual wielding an off-hand estoc with a main-hand balder side sword. It's like a no-shield run. Forces you to learn how to dodge lol.

11/10 would die again.

Also Gaping Dragon scared the hell out of me when I first saw it. I don't do well with horror themes 
Sun bro and lautrec are not boons during that fight either. They add more health to the boss bar than they manage to take off *facepalm*

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

I know, but I tried to go in without them and I got destroyed.
I couldn't dodge any of it's attacks, and it only took 3 of them to kill me.
I need them there to distract him. ;-;

[SirJackRex]

Having never done a heavy armor character, all I can say is that you gotta bail as soon as it prepares an attack. I would usually sprint away, then sprint up to a foreleg and mash away at his head. Its dash->body slam attack hits like a truck (if not kills instantly?), but iirc its path swerves very little, so you can sprint off diagonally in the direction it goes, then wait to recover stamina, then go back and attack for a few seconds. I recall the dash and stomping attacks having an annoyingly misleading range and then applying stagger/knockdown.

edit: Oh wait, I'm remembering more about this fight. I think the head takes much more damage, and if you stay near its head, it'll try to body slam, which has a longer recovery time for it. IIRC, you can bait it into doing that attack a few times in a row to get some good hits at its head.

It's honestly the most disappointing fight in the game, considering the trailer's reveal of was so damned magnificent.

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

I'm about to fight him again.
I'm really bad at dodging. When I try to dodge it just kinda ends with me flopping around like a dead fish, then dying like a dead fish.

EDIT:

Well shit you was right. That was a pretty damn easy fight when I removed my head from my anus.
No real point in block, so I went two-handed.
No good reason to hump the dragon, so I kept my distance.

Run away > It charged and got tired > Smack it's face > Repeat

Now I'm in blight town. Are the dudes at the beginning supposed to be so hard to kill? They're about as hard as a black knight. I don't feel they should be this tough. I think I need to do some grinding or som'tin.

EDIT 2:

Killed Quelaag. tim 4 sens fortreess

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

screw these anal rondo archers they need to screw off and eat shit and die then eat more shit then die again

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

they need to eat all of it all of the shit and die
all of the death

[Sophist]

take off everything but your pants so your equip load is light, and then roll roll roll roll your dreams away

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

i got past them
i really don't know how
there was a lot of flailing and swinging then he died and i wasn't dead

when i got to the bonfire after that i turned human to kindle it, and of course got invaded instantly
i stay dead to stop people from invading (why the hell can't i just turn that off?) so i didn't bother actually trying to fight him
instead i just circled him for a while hoping he'd get bored and leave
when i realized i was being a dick about it, i just walked over and turned my back to him
instead of back stabbing me he stood there for a bit, dropped a titanite chunk and left

[Irock]

Nobody invades me because I don't have Xbox Live Gold

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

I wish you had an option to turn it off on PS3.

Also, irock where you at?

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

a/s/l?

(ability, soul level, location)

who the fuck would pay money to have their game ruined by some random asshole

seriously, i fail to understand this concept, yet most of the biggest game franchises these days are built around it
it makes no fucking sense

[Sophist]

I wouldn't say it's ruined, not at all. Sure, an invasion may be at a really shitty time and you lose a lot of souls, but it's an integral and understandable part of the game. There's a point in Demon's Souls in which you either have to be invaded, or invade someone else, to progress. Playing offline means you fight an AI spirit, which can still wreck your world.

You can lose your souls to any enemy, and so there's not much to argue against that for invaders. Other than that, and the rare hacking/lagging backstab, fighting invaders can be fun and nerve-wracking. It's another player, so they are unpredictable at best, but often enough you can win as much as you lose. Once you reach the point of invading someone, you'll know how it is.

[Sophist]

Winning is a lot of fun too:

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

except i lose 100% of the time in pvp
and im not ever going to start invading

i just want to play the game in peace yo

[pacdiggity]

i'm kind of opposed in general to personal progress being hindered by other people's involvement in an otherwise single-player game

it seems unfair that i should be penalised for being bested by someone who might've played the game for much longer than me when i just want to play by myself

[Tsunokiette]

I want Scholar of the First Sin to go ahead and come out so I can play DSII -_- ... might as well wait at this point since I didn't buy it when it came out.

[Sophist]

Alternatively you can block dark souls on your router/firewall and prevent it from accessing the internet, but you'll also lose bloodstains and messages

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

im just going to start signing out of PSN when im about to fight a boss
