This game is $10 right now on the PSN store
Worth?
Yes.
>>258423187
it has the most fun weapons out of the whole series
go for it
Absolutely.
I wanna try it but the art style looks so shit
>>258423187
Maybe
>>258423462
Your artstyle is shit bro...
>>258423462
>artstyle looks so shit
>>258423578
>>258423592
I don't know it just doesn't work for me. The art style is too Western oriented for my taste and I pretty much enjoy anything
>>258423462
>art style looks so shit
Fuck you nigga
The thing I liked about Demon's souls was that it had heavy weapons that actually felt like heavy weapons, Brandt or the DBS fucking knocked nerds the fuck away, not to mention they hit super hard.
>>258423719
Are you some hardcore weeb who only buys those colorful games like lets say Akiba's Trip 2 at the moment? For fucks sake Demon's Soul IS Japanese
>>258423992
No don't have any interest in akibas trip either. Like I said I play anything but the art style just puts me off
>>258424240
Well ok
Weird of you
>>258424240
I think you probably just think it looks bland. Unlike the DaS games the world in demons souls is essentially 'dead' so the washed out colors and stuff kinda fit the theme.
Anyway go ahead and get it for $10 you cant go wrong
SOUL OF THE MIND
KEY TO LIFE'S ETHER
>>258423187
Yes.
>>258425106
SOUL OF THE LOST WITHDRAWN FROM IT'S VESSEL
>>258425106
Soul of the lost, withdrawn from it's vessel.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended.So the world might be mended.
Is the online active again thanks to the sale? I never beat this game it would be nice to go back and get at least somewhat the full expierence with invasions and summon signs.
If you played DaS or DaS2 it will play like shit
>>258425367
I DBS'd some fag to death yesterday in 1-4, the first attempt at invading as well.
I think you'll have more chances to be invaded in the earlier areas though, and the invaders will be shitter scrapper twinks with baby's nail and poison cloud
>>258425526
not really, the weapons in particular feel a lot better, as >>258423431
said, the large weapons are actually fun to use
>>258425106
MEY STREENGTH BE GRAANTEDart thou done?
>>258423431
GRIFFITH!
>>258423719
> The art style is too Western
What do you mean western, like it's medieval? Demon's Souls is one of the least western looking games on the planet.
Quick, what's the best worldbesides Latrias?
>tfw no PS3
I really want this game, but I don't think an entire console is worth one game. Are there any other games on the PS3 worth getting?
Best Stage/Lore/Overall design in the Souls series.
Combat could use some work but pretty solid too.
My favorite Souls game of the 3 is Dark Souls, but this one has the best and most memorable areas of all.
>>258427203
You should wait a bit for the super slim console to go cheaper.
>>258427416
How cheap are we talking here?
"The best game ever made is $10 right now on the PSN store
Worth?"
-OP
>>258427350
For me it goes Demon's>Dark 2>Dark.
>>258423187
only if you hate fun and like backtracking
story is shit too
>>258423187
Definitely my favorite Souls game, and I was introduced to Dark Souls first.
I like it but it has way too few weapons and armors.
>>258427502
I don't know, what's cheap to you?
You could go get an AC4 (a good game apparently) bundle right now if you felt like it.
>>258427687
>DaS2
>better than DaS1
>>258427515
>>258427745
I never was in a position where I needed to backtrack.
>>258423187
It's worth at least 5X as much
>>258428646
>I never recovered lost souls
>>258428106
Name a better game
Don't say Dark Souls 2
>>258428982
>i died 50 steps into this level
>respawn 75 steps into it
>i gotta backtack 25 steps now!
That's not how it works at all, you have to move forward when you respawn.
>>258428982
>I don't want to be punished for dying
Also, I just remembered 3-1 has a bit of backtracking if you're looking to free Freke.
>>258429009
Dark Souls 2 is a better game, though. 2 handing katanas is actually useful, where I just did it for aesthetic reasons in the previous installments.
>>258429971
>Souls
>Slow and Clunky
Maybe if you're using a tank build in which case you should stop.
>>258429971
You are cancer
>>258430220
>>258430247
gotcha
>>258429971
>Loli shit
>Using heavy armor
Get out
>>258429971
i want to fug her armpit
>>258430220
Well, I was planning to give it another chance seeing how much it is loved in here.
Maybe I'll do that, to see if now I "get it".I still prefer animu girls to western shit, so yeah, the style is shit.
>>258430470
its kawaii you fuck.
>>258429009
But Dark Souls 2 is superior. Demon's Souls is great, but Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 immensely improved on it.
>>258430953

>>258430953
Alright. Also, when picking armor, don't worry about physical resistance. Dodging is far more efficient and light armor makes it easy to do.
Demon's souls PvP is some of the most fun I've ever had. This is my character.
lvl 99~ female thief with miralda's armor. +5 fatal secret dagger in right hand for increased riposte/backstab damage. Parrying dagger in left hand for easy parries. Cloak constantly active (invisible to anyone outside 5m range).
invade people and watch them freak out as I cast plague cloud and poison clouds at them and pick them off one by one.
>>258431315
no bully anon.fuck you.
>>258431525
>Demon's souls PvP is some of the most fun I've ever had
This
remember the times when you didn't need to hack in order to ruin people's playthroughs?
>>258431674
If you're going to disregard a game just because it doesn't have an anime style, you're a faggot Seriously. I like them too but come on
>>258425021
>you can't go wrong
I read that in his voice
>>258431525
Is the online dead?
>>258431919
THEY'RE MASTERWORKS ALL
>>258431845
And if the exact same game have had loli pantsu designs, you would have hated it, whats your point?
>>258431958
kinda, unless you invade in 2-1 as a low level or 1-4 as a high level
>>258431958
Actually, no. Dark Souls 2 has the best online of the three by far, though, if you're looking for a game with good PVP
>>258431958
I've had 6 old monk summons in the last hour.
Feels good man.
>>258431919
Every time
>>258431919
Is that the guy who duplicates your items in Dragon's Dogma? Or the guy who sells the weapons/armor. Can't remember
>>258431919

>>258423187
It's the most atmospheric and tightly designed game of the bunch (if you don't use magic or pick a Royal).
Buy it. Love it.
>>258432385
isn't magic overpowered in DS?
>>258425282
LET STRENGTH BE GRANTED SO THE WORLD MIGHT BE MENDED...SO THE WORLD MIGHT BE MENDED
Just saying I've had this game on disc for years and if any of you faggots try to invade me on my ng++ in the swamp I will report you to From you piece of shitsplease, I'm so lonely smurf accounts are the only way I get interaction

>videogames
>realistic
>real life
Anon, s'il vous plaît.
>>258432452
Yes, which is why you shouldn't specialise in it.
The game flows together so much better if you play with a non-magic character.
>>258431674
If you dislike a game because it has western style you're just as bad as people who don't like games because of "anime" artstyle
>tfw blacksmith Baldwin is an enemy in Dark souls 2
>>258432482
I tend to invade people only on stonefang
>>258423907
>wielding the Stormruler in 4-3
>>258432978
lmao 2kat!
>>258432034
I wouldn't totally disregard the game, I would give it a chance. If it had good gameplay then for sure I would play it. For the same reason you should try out Demon's souls
>>258432540
Well, weebshit here is too dumb to understand that gameplay isn't equal to style.
Also why would someone over 18 like anime artstyle?
>Females have superior equipment minus the Ancient King set
why
>>258432978
This.
Demon's Souls PvP is great IMO, but only at the surface level that is being invaded when I really don't want to be.
>>258433452
Because the ancient king set is the best set
>>258423187
Oh Hell yeah.
This is before the Dark Souls series was casuallized.
>not trolling, stating facts
>>258432713
Yeah, he's a total fucker in Demons anyway

http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/armor-sets
Dull Gold set is superior in every stat minus weight and fire resistance.
>>258433452
Why would you wear anything but fluted? If I'm knight mage or archer, I always wear fluted.
>>258432713
I didn't play DaS2 was he really?
>>258434304
Does dull gold impede stamina regeneration like most of the heavy sets? I can't seem to find it on the wiki
>>258434304
Enjoy your plague.
>>258434636
Yes.

>>258427203
Oh yes
for how much time will it be for 10 dollarinos?
>>258435193
this, this is why DeS is one of the best games ever made
>>258435801
Either its all month or next week when they change deals
>>258435801
Its been $10 for awhile now.
>>258435882
oh, thanks
just needed one day anyway, will probably buy it tomorrow hoping to meet more people in the NA servers than the dead EU ones
>>258435475I still need to play that
I paid $20 and that was worth it. Fantastic game.
DeS = DaS > DaS2
>There are people in this thread RIGHT NOW who haven't played Demon's Souls.
>>258437321
almost all people on the general on /vg/ didn't play DeS
>>258437956
Jesus Christ, that's awful. Do they suck DS2's dick?
>>258437321
PC plebs
>>258438185
unfortunately yes
I feel bad becuase I bought a russian key of DaS 2 thinking it might have been a good game. it wasn't, and I didn' finish it because I got sick of it halfway through it
yes I'ma faggot for judging a game I didn't finish, but seriously it's the most boring crap I have ever played, also
>easy bosses
>lame settings
>shitty weapons
>shitty hitboxes
>godawful online system
>>258438185
no they actively try to ruin the game for everyone by creating nasty hacks
>>258438706
You're not a faggot, it's a plainly lackluster game.
>>258438949
>>258438706
I liked it.I just didn't like it as a Souls game.
>>258439276
Well, I'm happy for you, but I was massively disappointed.
>>258437321
I could hurt somebody right now.
>>258429971
I hope you realize how fucking stupid you are.
What was your world order, /v/?
>>258441301Kojima world order
>>258441301
Oh yeah forgot to add:
Did 1-1, and 1-2, then 5-1, then 4-1, then 3-1, then just did everything in numerical order after that.
DeS is the only one in the series really worth playing, plus it has best waifu.
>>258441301
>>258441301
Almost every run is the same now for me
1-1, 1-2, 5-1, 4-1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 1-3, 4-2, 4-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 5-2, 5-3, 1-4

>tfw no ps3, and I couldn't hire it out when going to my mates place who had a ps3
>>258442572
>tfw I have 3 ps3
Kill me
Demon's Souls is the best Souls game, but sadly the dead online makes it not worth it if you've played it already.
I'd gladly take grass munching back over backstab fishing any day
>there will never be a Demons Souls 2
FUCK Bloodbourne.
>>258443317
>tfw no more tower shield or purple flame shield or brushwood armour
>>258443686
Purple flame shield carried my scrub ass through flamelurker.
>>258423187
not realy
you can get better things with 10$ bucks
buy it if you already bough all the worthwile stuff
>>258426942
What does that image have anything to do with Spax3? Seriously, what the hell?
>>258445470

Jesus christ this game must have been nuts back before it's online died.
>>258446487
it's still alive kinda if you go to 1-4
Chain knocking down people is the best feeling
Demon's Souls is the best game in the souls series
>>258423431
I love DeS as much as the next, but why do some of you guys force yourselves to believe this shit?
>>258425106
>They got some QT hispanic chick off the street to voice.
Whether you should get the game depends on whether the psn version allows you to do the infinite souls glitch. If not, don't get it.
>>258447562
>infinite souls glitch
Why?
>>258447524
go ahead and tell me how the DBS or Bramd aren't fun as fuck.
The only other fun moveset in the series is that kung fu shit from das2 that you can get with CE
>>258435475
It's fun because i bought my ps3 only to play Demon's Souls and Dark Arisen. Best decision of my life
>>258423187
This game would've been worth it when it was still 30 bucks plus.
Don't like digital copies, though. If you don't care for it, go for it.
>>258441712
You retard.
>>258446487
This is why I'm dead set on having a PS4 by the time Bloodborne comes out, right at release will be the best possible time to experience it, I just wish I could've done so with Demon's Souls.
>>258429971
Indulge in too much of the same thing and you will eventually get sick of it. You gotta mix it up anon.
>>258447837
>not wanting to skip all the reaper grinding and get straight to your build right away
>>258446840
Might try it, don't like das2's pvp and combat and not sure if I can go back to das after das2 so might go play on a magic+phosphorescent pole kung fu character I had planned
>>258429971
>all these responses
why
I liked how simple it was.
You got yer co-op stone early.
You get yer invade stone early.
Go nuts.
None of this covenant bullshit that splinters the online.
Didn't DeS go up for free for PS+ a while ago? I think I heard recently that it may be up again soon.
I'm doing my third playthrough of DaS right now and I've been itching to get my hands on DeS for a while.
If it's not coming back to PS+ for free anytime soon I may just buy it now.
>>258448340
Because /v/ is fucking stupid
>>258430953
I'm surprised that the only thing that bothers me about this picture is the stupidly over-sized pommel on that sword.
>>258448324
it depends on the time of the day i guess, i wish it wasn't region locked
>>258448389
>yer
The middle ages called, they want their word back
>>258448604
>swinging a katana edge on right down onto a straight sword that's been braced up
I'm not some kind of turbonerd that thinks katanas are the best fucking blade ever because 4000 folds of steel or whatever shit, but this is fucking stupid.
Well, can someone confirm if the digital version has the infinite souls glitch?
>>258448773
>yer
>middle age English
>not Dwarven common speak
>>258448959
it has the thomas glitch
dunno what the glitch you're talking about is
>>258448959
Why wouldn't it? They never patched it out.
>>258448879
they do the same thing with the swords reversed and the longsword still wins. Face it, kantanas are weak.
>>258448389
this, you can get your black stone as early as 3-1
simpler times
>>258449195
Like I said, I'm not some weeaboo katana lover. I'd need to see the other test you mention though.
>>258448389
>simple
>world tendencies bullshit
No thank you
Is Demon's Souls big? I bought only a 120 GB PS3 and I don't want to take up too much room in it.
>>258449480
hello?
>>258423187
Bumping thread with obvious answer.
Of. Fucking. Course.
Best game in the series. Best waifu too.
>>258449421
Play in soul form
>>258448490
Googled it and apparently Japanese PS+ got DeS for free when Bloodborne was announced.
Fuck it, I'm gonna buy it. I'll be mildly disappointed if it goes free on PS+ soon though.
>>258450000everytime
>>258449531
I'll assume the lack of responses means I'm the only one aware of this glitch.
You guys didn't think those players at level 999999 that you can see at the nexus got there legit, did you?
>>258450000
Quads don't lie
>>258451287
>wanting to ezmode
Fuck off
>>258448490
It was free in May of last year in NA.
Has any other game been on PS+ more than once?
>>258452676
You want it to skip the reaper grinding and get straight to your build, not to overlevel. It's a real timesaver that you'd be mad to not want.
>fluted armour fags
Top lol. Venerable sage armour is best. It's light and gives sweet magic resistance for no stamina penalty.
>>258452931
I have no idea. I got a PS+ subscription from my brother as a birthday present a year ago, and I don't use it for much.
I check it about every two weeks, and each time I'm disappointed with what's offered.
The only really nice thing about PS+ is cloud storage. That's crazy convenient.
>>258423187
Is it on special? I have PS+ and have it for free but I'm cancelling next month. I just want to own a legit cheap digital copy. How can I do this?
>>258453759
Just buy it from the PSN like normal. Worst comes to worst, when your PS+ cancels, you may have to delete and re-download the game, but you should still have your saves and everything.
>>258423187
No.Get a physical copy dumbass.
>>258454236
>Sold out errywhere
>>258454164
That's the thing though. You can't buy it if you already downloaded the free copy from PS+, it just says you already have the game. It's really fucking stupid when you want the game while you have PS+, game goes on sale and you're planning on cancelling PS+. Does anyone have a work around this?
>>258454527
>Not using amazon
Fucking retard
>>258454528
Only thing to do would be hope your account runs out before the sale ends.
>tfw not on sale in Australia
>>258454527
>Amazon
>eBay
>>258454528
Seems like a pretty jewish way to keep you subscribed.
I guess the only thing you can do is wait it out and hope it's still on sale next month.
If you have any other accounts on your system you may want to resort to buying it using another account right now, and downloading it through that account when your PS+ expires.
>>258454871
I was thinking about this, I may end up doing that. Is there any way whatsoever to know if a game is ending it's sale next month?
>>258450000
Anyone got the gif of MiB swinging her legs?
Oh look at that. A DeS thread.
I just bought a BC PS3 and DeS yesterday too.
Game is pretty great, and it has the best waifu of the series. Think I might prefer DaS to it but I'm still not very far into DeS yet so we'll see. I have to admit this world tendency mechanic is rather obnoxious though. Started playing offline today after reading up on it a bit.
Rolling a str knight build with fluted armor, sword and board. Fuck magic, I'm still wrecking shit. Managed to take out Vanguard in the tutorial tooafter a few resets.
>>258423187
>buying shitty old meme-games

>>258454236
>buying greatest hits
Special edition or go home.
>>258456119
Something even better, sir.
>>258456632
Who said anything about buying greatest hits?
>>258456298
No, no it doesn't
>>258457510
Yeah it does.
>>258457726
Then tell me sir, how long does the sale last? Because it does not say on my screen.
>>258423462
you're shit
>>258423462
Wow. Just fucking wow.
>>258458114
I dunno. I'm not checking. Just read the description. It tells you how long "special offers" last.
>>258459048
Yeah I thought so, lying piece of shit.
>>258459160
Well there's no saying when it will end but it will jump back to $19.99 anytime soon. It happened some time ago too. I don't know why PSN does this.
>>258459160
Enjoy not catching your own fish.
Why is it that all my favorite games have relatively sane threads?
Oh shit more players coming back to play demon soul's. Time to get them scrapping spears

Is it even worth it?
>>258460656
OH, GOD, PLEASE NO. PLEASE!
>>258461212
I don't think you even know how to fish.
>>258460656
I can't believe I actually farmed for that for my Dex character and because I was a trophy whore back than.
>>258461298
No
>>258461298
How long would it take to get? Because I never get sick of smashing skellies.
>>258461783
I always wondered if it would be better to upgrade my spear as sharp instead of basic. You loose lots of base damage, but that dex scaling... surely it can make up for it?
>>258461942
A long, long time.
>tfw you finally beat world 3 and can finally move on
Fuck man, I was starting to get really annoyed with that place
Fuck all those BP Mind Flayers
Fuck the man eaters
Fuck the old monk unskippable cutscene
Also what are some good weps for a sorceror?
What should I be putting my points into? I've put it into magic and intelligence and a bit of dex.
>>258447560
You have no idea what an hispanic person sounds like, everyone around me is hispanic including myself.
She sounds Austrian to me, like Arnold

"For me"
Can you be any gayer? you're not the world's authority on good shit faggot. Wah someone likes a game I don't! Wah! I like DeS over the other two but thats me other have their own opinions too nigger. DeS DS crowd always defensive.
>tfw you missed out on the heyday of DeS
>>258432248
It doesn't matter once you reach a certain SM
>>258462630
Have fun in 4-2 :^)
>>258462630
Do you have a blunt weapon? Because if not, you should pick up the blessed mace from 5-1 before moving to world 4. Also, Vit and Endurance are always good choices.
>>258450000
Impressive.
>>258462630
Mind Flayers are pussies if you use the magic jamming miracle. You can kill one of the man eaters by sniping through the fog gate with a bow.
>>258462630
Transition to a Blue Blood sword build. It's easy from a mage build.
You can also go hyper mage. Use a Kris blade to increase your default magic damage until you get a Morion Blade and the ring that increases your sorcery output/ damage output.
Get your HP below 30 percent and start one shotting most things.
>>258463005
Well I didn't mention VIT and END because I thought that was granted already, I mean, offensively, what stats should I put my points into?
And I have that sword that the Oscar dude has since it does magic damage and I'm a sorceress

You're doing it wrong, then. The magic jamming miracle completely neuters mind flayers, since all their attacks are magic. You can just run up to them and beat them to death with your fists as they fruitlessly ring their bells like idiots.
>>258462771
Why would you ever, just ever, consider Dark Souls 2 to be better than Dark Souls 1?
Let's not count the new features of the game, but let's talk about it in general.
I've been playing DS2 and was really disappointed with the ending, and the story in general, I think everything was pretty hacked on and poorly planned out with the whole "forgetting" aspect, but I don't think this game at all is better than the first, why do you?
>>258463746
I bet they had sex all the time. Those babies in the pool are their spawn.
>>258463890
B-but muh soul arrow and that one spell that protects me from damage
I don't have that many slots for magics
>>258463746
I felt bad for killing them
And the music that was playing
>>258456119
>>258436889
Game of the generation for me.
Make sure to get dark arisen version though.
>>258463000
>4-2
Goddamn.
4-2 and 5-2 are the absolute worst.
I wouldn't wish PBWT in world 5-2 on anyone.
>>258464323
Just switch slots for when you want to take on the flayers.

The challenge in 5-2 is the poison, not the enemies. You can go around everyone in 5-2 if you have the theif ring.
>>258464949
I never thought of doing that, but I was trying to go from the boss all the way to the girl you should kill and there were about 4 giants all over the place.
I couldn't stop crying, anon.
>>258423187
>You will never touch the demon inside her
>>258464121
>Those babies in the pool are their spawnThose are aborted fetuses that people threw into the filth
I don't understand the implications of world tendancy. Some NPCs turn into black phantoms when the world tendency is pure black. Were they corrupted?

I never got why anyone would live in the valley of defilement in the first place. It's a shithole. I mean, it's better than New Jersey, but still.
New player here.
When do I get new armors? I just beat the Dragon God and I still haven't found new armor.
Am I not looking hard enough?
>>258465704
but DeS online still up and active, only on NA because EU is dead.
>>258465838
Probably people with horrible diseases that were outcast by society (lepers). I'm pretty sure they didn't want to go there initially. Although they probably want to stay now because of Astraea.
Is it best to kill Yurt straight away>?
i just started playing this and just found out from reading this thread that it's not a good idea to go in level order?
I did 1-1, 1-2, and then all of 2, and now I'm going back to 1-3.
Also having this guy's >>258465938 dilemma.
>>258465938
You aren't looking hard enough. You can fucking buy armour from the vendors if you're that blind.
Remember, go for the armour that gives the most protection while still letting you fast roll. Never pick an armour over a weapon if there is a weight issue.
>>258466208
Yes. If you let him into the nexus he'll begin killing everyone.
>>258466281
I always go 1-1, 2-1, 3-1
And so on.
You should make sure that 1-4 is the LAST area you do, though.
>>258466208
Yeah. Well, you actually get a little leeway; he kills two random non-important people before he starts killing important NPCs
>>258465938
killing some NPCs will give you some armor
So why do you get revived in the nexus whenever you die, but most of the other people there die? If they aren't bound to it why are they even there?
>>258466281
By all means, do 2 early. It's very easy and you unlock the master smith. People do the worlds in different orders primarily because of the equipment they want. I go to skeleton world early because I can't live without the compound longbow that you find in the first section.
>>258466683
I mean most of the other people there don't
>>258466683
You bring in most of them.
>>258466918
What do you mean?
>>258466281
Go to 4-1 as soon as you get a good blunt weapon. You can find the ring of regeneration and the abjudicators shield there, which stack for nice health regen.
>>258466918
>mfw I just realized that the kings son probably died a few times during his journey, and it's why he ends in the Nexus
Why doeshe "die" for real though later on? I don't get it, I mean the Nexus is supposed to be a placeholder for people that die, why didn't he come back to life?
>>258466992
They only go there after you meet them. Some others probably got sucked in there because the maiden or the monumental figured they would be useful to you.
>>258466683
Nexial Binding. You gots it, which binds your soul to the Nexus, they don't. As for why they're there... it's pretty safe compared to anywhere else.
>>258466801
>>258466474
>>258467076
thanks for all the tips.
>>258467076
Don't forget the compound longbow. Most powerful ranged weapon in the game when upgraded to sticky compound longbow +5.
>>258467134
You mean the crestfallen warrior, or Ostrava?
>>258467370
One thing I should say to help you out some if you didn't already know, but in order to have PWWT in all the stages, make sure you lose your human form in the nexus only. In other words, as soon as you become human, teleport to the Nexus and jump off a cliff.
Only do the worlds in soul form.
>>258467559
Both, I guess.
How does World Tendency work?
Do I just keep killing bosses until it's white or something?
>>258467610
Also, don't turn off your PS3 or leave the game. When you log back in, the world shift closer to the average, which can knock you out of PW with no bosses left.
>>258467731
Well, they both give up hope. Neither had the will to go on and so they both kinda just died.
>>258467853
I didn't even know that.
>>258467610
Wouldn't it be better to not be in pure white world tendency as the game gives better drops and such things if you play with black tendency? Or is it not really a worthwhile trade off?
>>258467852
Killing bosses makes it turn whiter
Dieing while in human form turns it blacker
White world tendency reduces drop rates but enemies are a bit easier
Black world tendency makes stronger enemies but better drops
And there are certain events, NPCs, and enemies that only occur on Pure White or Pure Black
>>258447892
DeS has special and fun weapons, but after you used all, like, 4 of them you're left with the basics. They weapon pool is very small and often over-looked by tryhards. Not saying you're one, just a general observation.
>>258468052
Certain things are only available at certain world tendencies, like the Dragon Bone Smasher.
>>258467852
Killing bosses and BPs makes it whiter. Dieing in human form outside of the nexus makes it weaker. Pure white WT makes enemies weaker and unlocks certain areas on maps that have great loot. It also makes loot drops shitty. Pure black WT makes enemies stronger, increases rare loot drops, unlocks the same areas as white tendancy, causes more BPs to form, and causes the ancient demon to spawn in that level.
>>258465675
Reporting in, based and patient anon.
>>258468821
Every time this motherfucker gets me and I've killed him a million times.
>>258467134
Ostrava hadn't died. Only the player characters and the Crestfallen Warrior have a Nexial Binding. The others are just travelers who found the Nexus or were brought there by players.
>>258468821
I cheesed him to death with thief ring and arrows.
>>258467610
>Only do the worlds with half health
wut
>>258469114
>being a pussy
>>258469114
Read between the lines, mate. You aren't the only one weaker in soul form. Enemies take more damage from you as well.
>>258469114
>not using Cling Ring
>>258469114
You can get a ring that makes it so you only lose 25% you know?
>>258469136
How the fuck do you deal with that fucking baby pond? I want to see what the items in it are, but the babies and the plague rip me to shreads in seconds.
>>258469263
Wut, are you sure about that?
It takes the same ammount of hits to kill enemies when in human or soul form for me
>>258469228
I'd prefer not to die in 1 hit to almost everything
>>258469317
>>258469342
i don't wanna waste a ring slot
Do I have to babysit Ostrava everytime I run into him and after I finish helping him?
He got killed on my previous playthrough somehow.
>>258463746
Does anyone else just think Tom from Toonami whenever they scroll by the cover art of this game?
>>258469474
Put some points into vitality so you're not a frail little flower.
Alternatively, stop getting hit.
today i beat the penetrator, but that king boss after is so dicks.
also I beat the fool's idol.
digging this game
>>258469624
in short,yes
>>258469421
Lots of arrows and lots of patience. Also, try manual aiming since every nanosecond counts with their diving and surfacing i-frames.
>>258469624
The only time you need to help him out is after world 1-3.
When you save him from that laughing fuck and those two red eyed knights, he'll go hide in a corner.
Make sure you kill all the enemies up to the boss door before you fight the boss.
Other than that, you don't have to babysit him anymore because he'll finish his job in world 1-4.
You shouldn't hate him too much, he has it hard ; ;
>>258469474
I'm positively sure that soul form makes both you and enemies die faster. It's meant to be a final destination type mode. Look it up on the wiki if you need confirmation.
>>258469624
You'll generally have to clear out his patrol routes, yes. Dude has full-on escort mission AI. Bright side is that he'll often stay far away from your fights though.
>>258469421
The plague babies don't stop respawning if you haven't killed Maiden Astraea yet, just a head's up.
>Hey anon, why don't you let me out? We can slay demons together.
>>258469624
No. Have you not read any guides? Kill him the first time after you help him. Just backstab him to death and take his key.
BTW, has anyone else noticed that after you type the capcha, it sometimes disappears and you have to type it again?
>>258469474
Wat?
The only useful rings in the game are the ring of avarice, cling, cat's, eternal warrior's, fragrant, regenerator's, devout prayer, magical nature, sincere prayer, and great/herculean strength
Pick the cling ring and one of these random ones. Having two without cling isn't useful at all unless you're doing nothing but pvp
>>258470307
>killing Ostrava
You deserve whatever captcha trouble you get.
Is the limited FOV in Souls games a design choice or the result of hardware limitations?
>>258470475
You are such a clown. The thief and clever rat ring are infinitely useful.
>>258432639
Oh geez, where is that from?
>>258470708
As a third person game, DeS has tons of FOV. You're crazy.
>>258468821
>Get there the first time
>See a massive pool of bloodstains and dozens of messages saying not to fight him
>Fight him anyways
>You died like a bitch
>>258470792
Why would you ever want to use those unless you feel like living on the edge?
Just kill every enemy in sight or run away from them. You need the souls, you don't need to hide and backstab
Yes. Go get it. No excuses.
>>258468821
Any weapon other than a spear and I would have been fine.
Fuck spears. Spears are for fags.
>>258471141
I don't get it.
>>258471141
>>258470992
Thief ring is useful because you will almost always see enemies first and you will not get tons of agro from the flying manta rays and moscitoes. It's also useful for cheesing.
If you don't know how OP the clever rat's ring is, you simply haven't used it. Hyper mode is insane.
>>258470992
Not him but the thiefs ring is incredibly useful in pvp if you build around it on one of my characters I used it with the cloak spell and I was like the predator picking off phantoms and hosts and backing off and being unable to be found.
If I remember right with thiefs ring it was an 8 step distance to be invisible and with cloak spell it was 4 step distance.
>>258471294
>"try blue phantoms"
The guy thinks he has to look for an item called blue phantoms.
Get it?
>>258471127
Spears are the best melee weapon. I use them on glass cannon builds and never get hit. Also they don't make you step forward while doing a defensive stab. Very useful on those high towers in Latria.
>>258471712
>Spears are the best melee weapon
for being a fag
fuck you and fuck spears
>>258471685
I still don't get it.
Why is the guy readying his spear?
>>258471809
someone had a traumatizing experience with their daddy's "spear" when they were younger, didn't they?
>>258471983
It's a scraping spear. Get it yet?
>>258472073
No, I get that, I know what a scraping spear is and what it does, I just don't understand the joke this is trying to convey.
The third panel has the guy readying his spear, which I assume he's readying for battle to fight the guy, which ends the joke, but the guy hasn't passed the line, or brought any blue phantoms.
I just wish I could do a play through with max level everything and 99 of all items from the start. Can you do that on Dark Souls PC version at least?
>>258471809
>mfw invading at SL14 with a Scraping Spear and Babby's Nail
I made it specifically to invade DSP, but I never got in before he unplugged his ethernet in rage
I still got some use out of it
>>258472269
Well the joke is obviously that the guy is gonna die.
>>258472269
He's not readying his spear, he just has it out.
The pose doesn't mean anything, it's like a closeup to the guy's face, except that's hard to do.
It would be awkward to just end it on the second panel.
>>258472335
You can use CE for DaS PC. Just stay offline, or you're a dick.
There's probably a way to do it on DeS, though. At the very least, you can use the Stockpile Thomas glitch to just clone every consumable you have (including boss souls).
>>258472464
He didn't pass the line. Why would he die?
>>258472269
The joke is the guy is fucked, he can't get help and he's waiting there ready with that spear to rape him.
>>258472437
What's this about babby's nail? It rings a bell, but I think I never used it because it seemed to be weak.
>>258472523
Well shit, I get the joke now.
>>258472269
World owner thinks he can't pass the line because he doesn't have blue phantoms, like the game will physically not let him pass it. Third panel is red phantom being in a state of "you've gotta be kidding me" shock.
>>258472681
Toxic dagger, easy to spam
>>258472549
>CE
Hm? What's that? You have to understand that I don't own a PC, though I might cave in very soon because it looks like the best platform right now.
>>258472890
In /dsg/ I thought it meant Collectors Edition.
But in reality I think it means cheat engine.
>>258473028
> you're so in love with a game you think CE means the beautiful Collector's Edition
> /dsg/ is so plebeian it hasn't even played it for the most part

I used a guide on my first time. I beat everything and every boss with thief ring or posion exploitation.
>>258473924
Go on.
>>258471294
Scraping spear breaks all your shit, also fun fact: that is a female only robe
>>258474141
I'm pretty sure that's the only part.
>>258472549
In DeS, the only real cheats are the bloodstain multiplier glitch (patched, plus it didn't work on all games to begin with) and the item duplication glitch. I never used either. Just how practical is the item dupe glitch if you want to get super powerful fast and early?
>>258473935
OK. F-f-fuck you.
>>258423187
considering it was once "free" you dun goof'd
>>258474610
I can't believe some people made it through the game the hard way. It must have taken forever.
>>258474812
>It must have taken forever.
So?
Why is it bad that people enjoy playing a game they like for a long time?
>>258474896
I took like 50 hours and that was with a guide. I think a lot of that time involved me being idle while I was reading it, though.
How long does a blind first playthrough normally take?
>>258473935
>Using a guide for the first playthrough
Ew
>>258474547
With Stockpile Thomas's, infinite souls/upgrade materials/grass/spice after you get some shards of archstone.
Of course, you have to get at least one of each item to be duped. But if you know what you're doing, you could be finished anywhere between 1-5 hours, depending on where the stuff you want is.
>>258475062
Took like 50-60 hours for me I think
>>258475062
It took me 80 hours. I searched fucking everything. Died a lot too. I never had so much fun with a game.
>>258475278
Is it a "one item at a time" style glitch, or an "infinite items instantly" glitch?
>>258475585
"99 items in your and Thomas's possession" glitch.
>>258475585
it's 198 items instantly kind of glitch.
i.e. thomas still has 99 after you take out a certain amount from his glitchy stack to make 99 in your own inventory.

4chan culture in general is pretty contrarion for the sake of being different so i'm finding it hard to believe the other soul games are shit compared to DeS.
I just finished DeS today and was considering purchasing DS +DS2 next week, anyone got a reason why I shouldnt?
>>258482126
Someone gave me two movies instead of games.
These are not good suggestions.
>>258481130
The Ratchet and Clank Future games are pretty good.
It is most definitely worth it. If you do not buy it then you are a faggot.

TLOU is not a movie. You rarely have cutscenes that last more than a minute. Uncharted is similar. Neither game is cutscene heavy, but people who were butt blasted over their exclusivity say it to themselves so they don't feel bad about not being able to play them.
Wish I was there when it came out but going from Dark Souls 1 to demons was great.
God I fell so hard for all the hype of ds2, I trusted them so blindly after these two gems, no one is beyond being filthy fucking jews.
Fuck dark souls 2 for being cheap and defiling the memorys of dark souls 1.
>>258482276
NO not ds2, it's the dragon age 2 of souls games.
Rehash garbage.
Dark souls 1 was great.
>>258432114

>>258484257
I'd say DS2 is kind of lacking in both regards
I knew it was going to disappoint when the first trailer didn't feature gameplay
>all these people who haven't played demon's souls
I bought a ps3 and played on release. I regret nothing. The demon's souls threads back then were the best /v/idya threads ever. Buy it now if you can. The pvp/co-op get revived during a sale but the game is worth playing even single player.
Of course it's worth $10 you fucking dingus. What a stupid thread.
>>258448879
The body of a katana is made of cold, non tempered iron that's easily shaped and bent. Only the edge where the sharp of the blade resides contains any actual steel.
You can basically destroy a katana by bending it with your knee like a stick.
I would play Loli Souls
