Has anyone else partaken in this morbid game of brtual proportions? Picked it up off eBay the other week and it has slowly began to consume me with frustration & rage :D.

In my top three PS3 games I've played but I imagine it's probably escaped the attention of many gamers :(.

Re: Demon's Souls (PS3)

it hasn't been released anywhere but japan i'm pretty sure...

if/when it comes out in aust might pick it up
 
Re: Demon's Souls (PS3)

Yep, I have it. Great fun, but frusturating sometimes.... like getting one shotted by a giant goblin. Almost got the platinum trophy, just need to make Insanity Catalyst. Really good game, would recommend to those with a PS3.

All PS3 games are region free. Just want to watch out on which versions you get (As in they would want to be in English obviously which I have heard that Demon's Souls is).

Some Blu-Ray's are region free, some aren't. There is probably a website which tells you which are and which aren't.

Would recommend to anyone who has a PS3 and isn't prone to mental breakdowns? :D

I only just killed the Phalanx :o

Wait till world 5, you're in for a world of pain.

That's nearly enough to make me want to quit now before I break both myself and other more physical things :(.

Running around aimlessly after killing the Phlanax trying to work out where I can go without getting r*ped constantly :o.

Any suggestions?
 
Re: Demon's Souls (PS3)

World 2 or 1-2. Using a spear makes it a fair bit easier, as you can still have your shield up while you attack. There is one on the bridge (winged spear), but you have to dodge the dragon. It's on the first section of the bridge. Try summoning people if you're really stuck. World 4 has great experience (souls), but the skeletons are pretty hard early on. They're weak to blunt weapons.

lol.....that sounded so nerdy.

Just to add to what HBK said, if you import games, you'll also want to make sure that you can get any extra downloadable content for them.

US games, you will need to buy DLC from the US store.

EU/UK games I'm not sure. Many people from Australia seem to buy games from the UK, and I haven't seen anyone mention having trouble with Aussie DLC for a UK game (buying DLC from the UK is a lot harder than US), but other than Rock Band 2, I haven't been able to find anyone confirm 100% it does work with any other games either. I've also asked at different places a few times, but with no reply. I assume it does work, but yeah, can't say for sure.

For Blu-Ray region codes, these sites are handy...

The Mirror's Edge DLC worked for me, however that was one on the AU store that didn't state which BLES code it needed to work like some games do (eg: FIFA 09). Haven't had a look personally at the QoS DLC but that could be region protected to certain BLES codes.

I dream of a world where posters will look back and see this thread and rage as it brings forth memories of giant goblins (Let alone those of the black phantom variety) and Maneater(s).

On that subject how the hell did you beat Maneater on new game+? :(

I had help from a blue phantom. Basically he just spammed fireball, and I hacked away at it with my North Regalia. The 2nd one arrived shortly before we killed the first. The BP then died, and I just took my time using a bow (Viscous Longbow +5). You should always fight on the middle platform when the 2nd Maneater arrives, so as to avoid being knocked off.

The key is to be patient. You'll probably need help from a blue phantom. If you have firestorm (I didn't), you can kill the first one extremely quickly. I'd also recommend fighting in body form. Although you do less damage, you probably won't get killed if they happen to get a succession of attacks on you.

TBH Flamelurker is much harder imo. Unless you use the stair glitch he absolutely monsters you (If you're melee).

Got it a long time ago. I flew into a gamer rage and gave up on it. Will pick it up again this coming summer holiday.

Ahahaha.

Know how that feels but I didn't have any other games that took my fancy so keep coming back :D. Common cycle, die then get angry, then die quicker :o.

Cheers!

I actually found the Flamelurker a dolly surprisingly, just Purple Flame Shield and Ring of Fire Resistance and wasn't that bad :D.

Killed Maneater last night solo...stressful as though.

Then started on world 5 again and despite taking my time killing the three giant goblins I was then set upon by a pack of mosquitoes who r*ped me :(.

God I hate New Game + :D
 
Re: Demon's Souls (PS3)

As the local release draws nearer (Although nothing confirmed as yet) and is now releasing in the US Demon's Souls has reached a 90 on Metacritic from 32 reviews and is getting a lot of publicity for it's brutal, no holds barred gameplay.

Can also buy the US Version of the game from PlayAsia. 2 US versions available are the 'Deluxe Edition' for $90AU which includes a strategy book, slipcase, artbook and soundtrack CD. Also a more normal version for $73AU which comes with the Artbook and Soundtrack CD.

It's gone up a score, it was 89 yesterday. Into the star (90s) club it seems.

Any news of getting released in PAL territories?

Nothing as yet. But the import versions are getting cheap enough now with the dollar so strong against the US.

I'd like too but it looks too hardcore for me

I'm having a hard enough time trying to finish Dragon Age on normal :o

Console or PC?

DragonAge on PS3 is more annoying than Demon's Souls (PC it's a good game though).

DragonAge PS3 combat is terrible and annoying.
 
Re: Demon's Souls (PS3)

PS3

and yeah, it is frustrating, so much so that I've taken a break from it for the time being

I'd get it, but I don't know if I could stand dying over and over and over and over, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

I love a lot that I've seen about this game (through numerous reviews), the online element to this game sounds wonderfully innovative and awesome and the game looks like it would be fairly good to play. But I really don't know if I could stand the grind that I know would come with it as well.

I'm rarely a grinder in a game and I find myself putting games down for far too long if I get to an annoyingly hard part, which this game would have shitloads of. And I feel I'd end up forgetting about it if I did that.

Also, the thought of missing out on re-collecting your souls after dying before getting to them again sounds devastating!
 
Re: Demon's Souls (PS3)

Is this ever going to be released here? I want the game but for some reason, despite awesome sales, it's only in Japan and America.
