    wait before you get it. if the PC port's good get it there. if not, try the 360 with a gold subscription (not recommending the PS3 because there are just too many high-leveled tweaked up japanese super players that will immediately wreck your shit)

    then you will game online for free and get routinely destroyed by pyromancers wielding katanas three times the size of their bodies and wearing a metal pig head as a helmet

    are you suggesting that doesn't happen on the 360?
    I feel sorry for xbox players then, they aren't getting the real dark souls experience!

    Yeah, getting invaded wasn't too fun last night when we were trying to clear Gargoyles out and do lower undead burg

    which reminds me that I am in no way looking forward to doing the capra demon

    I never "got" the capra demon fight

    almost all other boss fights revolve around figuring out the tactic you need to take and then trying to pull it off

    but that one seems to be all about exploiting a glitch in the environment where it can't reach you and you can throw fire bombs at it

    it also requires just random luck

    will you survive that first blow and subsequent follow through? lets see this time

    not looking forward to him or the two dogs on my wizard character

    There actually is a strategy for the Capra demon that doesn't involve glitching

    You just can't fuck up

    Like there is absolutely zero room for error on that one

    I remember the Capra demon going from really hard to really easy as soon as I could one hit his rat buddies and didn't have to worry about them too, didn't do any exploiting

    Killing Capra with my bow only character was probably the hardest boss fight in the game

    I think the hardest fight in the game for me was Ceaseless Discharge

    I spent so much time trying to actually hurt him before I found out what I actually had to do to beat him

    @Matey you on ps3 or 360?

    also ceaseless discharge is such a hilarious boss due to the falling glitch

    also the hardest boss fight besides capra demon would probably be smough &ornstein

    can you link the crystal lizard picture


    also, if you think something is nsfw link it instead of posting it with img tags so it doesn't get registered in work filters

    It should be up there, unless I've cached it somehow and it's not showing up for anyone else.

    And it's really nothing, I spoilered it just to err so far on the side of caution that I'm... ok this analogy is getting away from me.

    But I've changed it into a link just in case

    I want to play this game pretty bad based pretty much only on Giant Bomb coverage

    I heard some dude did a crazy speedrun of this game. If I watch it will it spoil the game for me? If not can someone link it? I gotta see this shit.

    Yeah don't watch that. A lot of the fun of the game is heading into areas not having a clue what to expect, then getting utterly destroyed by it.

    oh god

    I have fallen in deep with Dark Souls lore videos on youtube

    stayed until 01:30AM listening to people debating what differentiate Souls from Humanities and who's actually Priscilla;s mother

    i watched a few video reviews and that's all i have watched, pretty much. I've bought, finished and put away (i can't bring myself to sell games after the shafting Gamestop gave me once) three or four games since I first thought about buying this game. It has been a long wait. That isn't ending any time soon. Goddamn vehicle needing shit

    Not to mention great heavy soul arrow taking out 1/4 of its health each hit, that's also pretty awesome

    Hey guys I just got this video game after putting it off for forever because I could not really get into Demon's Souls despite liking things about it.

    It is super rad!

    Getting cursed really sucks and also the Capra Demon is a shitfucker.

    I do not know anything about builds or what the good weapons and gear are. I am using guides a bit because I would like to have some fun here.

    Yeah, I figured out (kind of with help, but mostly just confirmed what I thought) that you just need to get the fuck out of his way and kill his dogs. Dude is so much less dangerous when they aren't constantly keeping you from moving.

    His super big hits can't be blocked, so you just have to stay really agile.

    Being able to quickly one-hit each dog is super important here

    do you mind if i cut in, art?

    I wish this game would hurry up and get here!
    i guess there is no way to play with your friends, right?

    pretty much everything i have read about this game fascinates me

    Yeah I have no idea how the pvp or anything works.

    I do not know of any way to get goin with other people.

    Come on more people, discover this game with me and then post in here about the awful things you find.

    I guess more people might be grabbing it once it launches on pc, despite them trying their hardest to make the PC version not worth getting

    i don't know, they did pretty much what they said they would do with the pc release
    it's basically a port, just like they said it would be
    if it sells OK, maybe the next game FROM makes... demon, dark... dire? will have a better budget for the PC version or something
