Review: An amazing gaming experience. Tips for first time players inside... - I finally came around to purchasing this game and I am so glad I did. I used to play RPGs a lot growing up, but lately as my gaming time has been severly shortened I pretty much only play online FPSs (COD, etc). With those i can easily get 4-5 games in under an hour. Yet I still missed the occassional good single player game, so i decided to take a chance on this game after hearing endless praise for it. Here are some things that I found helpful to know / wish i would have known before buying the game (some of these contain "spoilers" ... these things all happen in the beginning of playing and I highly recommend knowing them before playing): - EDIT*: I just wanted to let people know that the community is still pretty alive for this game!! For example, last night I decided I wanted to help people in World 4-1. ... laid down my blue stone (lets people summon you to their game) and I was immediately summoned. THroughout the night I was summoned 5 times, each with very little downtime waiting in between. Atlus has said they will keep the servers open until 2012 (did not give an exact date), so hurry up and play! :) - the game saves CONSTANTLY. Do anything of significance (use an item, kill an NPC, whatever) and it saves. This is good because you can literally quit anytime and when you come back to the game it loads you at the exact moment you stoppped playing...it is also bad because you can't really undo anything! (no going back to previous saves). This is great for me b/c I have limited game time so i can stop whenever i want (no playing until i hit a save point) - when you first start the game, you will play a really simple tutorial. You'll probably think "this game isnt as hard as everyone says it is!" ... You will reach the boss of the tutorial (Vanguard) and immediately die. (you are supposed to die...there are hardcore players who can beat him though). Once dead, you will go to the "Nexus" which is sort of a safe haven where you can talk to NPCs (and kill them...but you dont want to do that so be careful where you swing your sword!) or choose which world you want to travel to. - You can NOT use your souls to level up your stats UNTIL you beat the first true boss (world 1-1, Phalanx). - Once you beat the 1-1 boss, return to the nexus, talk to the maiden in black. Then go up the stairs in the nexus until you reach the upper level with all those bodies sitting around in a circle. Talk to the one with a candle in front of it. (I had to press talk twice for some reason). She will tell you a story, then ask you to say "yes" to something. THEN, you can go back to maiden in black and use your souls to level up stats. - When you die, you lose your body and go into "soul form" ... your guy looks the same (same armor, etc) but has an unhealthy green glow and outline. You have 50% of your HP (that sounds bad but its really not...just think of this as your normal HP). To regain your body, you either have to defeat a boss or help another player out online. Lots of people recommend always keeping soul form, so once you get your body back just go to the top of the nexus and jump off to suicide. - Playing online -- you dont have to if you dont want to. Just hit "cancel" when it asks you to sign in. Playing online enables you to: see messages left by other players (some helpful, some not), join another players game to help them, invade another players game to annoy them - Playing online -- you can NOT be invaded by another player if you are in soul form. You can NOT summon another player to help you if you are in soul form - starting at the first world portal (world 1) going clockwise around the staircase is how people refer to the worlds. Then each boss marks the "end" of a world level. (Phalanx marks the end of "1-1" ... once you defeat phalanx, a pathway opens up and you can either continue to "1-2" or go back to the nexus) - If you want an "easy mode" - start the game as character type "Royal" ... they are equipped with a magic spell "Soul Arrow" right away, which kills most starting enemies in 1-2 shots. - This is not your traditional (or in my eyes traditional) RPG where when you increase a stat you see immediate effects. For example, if you increase your strength stat by one point, you do NOT necessarily see an increase in damage done in this game. In this game, equipment primarily determines how much damage you do / how much defense you have / etc. Your stats enable you to USE the equipment. For example, a sword might require you to have 11 STR (strength) to equip it. The sword's damage will not change whether you have 11 STR or 20 STR. There are however some weapons that have damage bonuses that scale with your stats, so in that regard increasing a stat CAN have an impact, but not always. - my tip: read a FAQ for the first world (1-1). It will enable you to get two very important items you may have otherwise missed (Cling Ring -- 75% HP in soul form instead of 50%, and Thief Ring -- harder to detect by enemies). It will also give you some sense of how levels work/shortcuts work/etc. If you dont want to read a FAQ, well let me just tell you --- dont go through the first fog gate you encounter unless you have found the cling ring. If you encounter a knight with RED eyes, go the other way -- you are not ready to fight him yet. Once you get a feel for how 1-1 is laid out, etc...you can play the other levels with no FAQ and only refer to a FAQ if you are stuck. Well i hope those tips helped you. There is one final tip i will put at the end b/c it happens a little later in the game. THis is a great game, but there are a few cons. Here they are: 1) Equipment stats are shown in confusing symbols instead of words (why can't you just say STR, DMG, MAG, etc?). You will probably have to refer to the manual multiple times before you get the hang of what they are trying to show 2) If you die at a boss (and you will), you have to go back to the start of the level with all enemies respawned. Lots of levels have shortcuts to the boss, but this is still really annoying. Not annoying b/c it is hard necessarily, but annoying because it is time consuming and makes boss fights less enjoyable. Some of the bosses are fantastic looking and unique, but you dont really get to appreciate them because a death in a fight can cost you a lot of time in the game. 3) Camera angles / targeting system can be wonky, especially if you are in tight spaces. Sometimes this can lead to an annoying unjustified death. 4) Not really story-driven. This is not a con for me, but i know lots of people appreciate good story-telling and cutscenes. I particularly like that there are not really any long cutscenes to break up gaming, but just FYI. All in all, even with the above cons, this game is worth your time if you have any remote interest in RPGs. Highly recommended. *** the next final tip is for a little later in the game, but still is one of those things that if you never heard about it before, you probably would never have known to do it *** - in world 3-2, there is a mean looking dude in a cell you can free. He has black armor and horns on his head. He is Yurt the Silent. IF YOU FREE HIM, he will return to the nexus and start killing NPCs!! Either do NOT free him, OR once you free him KILL HIM right away. If you kill him you get his armor too which is pretty cool.
Review: A great RPG title for the PS3! - Unlike its predecessor the PS3 hasn't been known for its extensive library of great RPG games however, in the last couple of years titles such as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dragon Age: Origins, and the PS3 exclusive Demon's Souls looks to change all of that. Demon's Souls might not appear to be anything special but like the old saying goes "don't judge a book by its cover." Demon's Souls puts you in the dark fantasy themed Action-RPG world of Boletaria, a kingdom that has crumbled, been besieged by demons, and where the sane have become insane and have allied themselves with the horrors of the land. This game is classic good versus evil and though the story might again not seem like anything special it is portrayed very well and it eventually all comes together. The game's difficulty at some points can be punishing but once you get the hang of how things work experienced RPG fans will find Demon's Souls to be quite rewarding. The main object of Demon's Souls is to slay demons and collect demon's souls which are the unusual currency of Boletaria. You can use these collected souls to buy weapons, armor, items and even spells but once you die in demon's souls you lose all of your souls and start from the beginning of the level though you do have the chance to find your body and reclaim your lost souls. Once you start a new game you will not only be able to choose from 10 classes but you will be able to fully customize the look and name of your character and there are several customization options. You also have the freedom to take your character in any direction you please because the classes only dictate what stats and equipment your character will start with. Once you complete or skip the tutorial (it is highly recommended that you play through the tutorial) you will find yourself in the Nexus, a sort of hub world where you will first be in "Soul Form". Throughout the game you will discover two forms in which your character will either be in, these are body and soul form. While in body form you have max health and you can active glowing blue runic writings which appear on the ground known as "Soul Signs". You can use these to summon Blue Phantoms while online (co-op). These phantoms are in soul form but once you and your ally or allies have destroyed a lead demon your phantom friend will be revived to body form and he will return to his or her realm. Now it sounds like being in Body Form is the way to be however, Black Phantoms (Player versus player aka PvP) can invade your game randomly and once there they will try to assassinate you because your death is their body form revival so be careful when you get an onscreen warning that you have been invaded. Soul form is a little different than body form. While in soul form your HP is halved however, you do more damage and you can join other players' games as a Blue Phantom and attempt to get revived, or you can enter a player's game as a dreaded Black Phantom. Now back in the Nexus you cannot be invaded by a Black Phantom and you cannot summon a Blue Phantom, it is sort of a safe haven and where you can enter 1 of the 5 worlds through portals called "Archstones". Each of these worlds are vastly unique and feature their own environments and enemies and each world features plenty of hours of play time. Now this game can have a crushing difficulty but if you are playing online there things that can aid frustrating players such as Blue Phantoms, which I talked about earlier, bloodstains, messages and apparitions. Bloodstains show the location of where another player has died and if activated they will show the deceased player as a red apparition in his last moments offering a warning to players online that danger is around. Messages are glowing pink runic writings found on the ground which are similar to Soul Signs. These are left by other players and offer hints but always beware because some messages may be false. Last but not least are apparitions which are players from other realms in a ghostly form who fade in and out between your realm and theirs. Sometimes watching them can provide helpful hints. Online Demon's Souls is definitely a bit less hard and a lot more fun but offline or online any RPG fan will find that Demon's Souls is brilliant masterpiece RPG and is a proud and welcomed edition to the PS3's library.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i create a character in this game?**
A: No. Don't listen to any of them. You can't make a character. It's all a lie. My son is trapped in the game and you're making him do all sorts of stupid stuff like killing the vanguard in the tutorial or sipping alcohol.

**Q: should I get this, or just get Dark Souls 2?**
A: This game is amazing. I played this all the way through dark souls 3 in one straight, nothing but souls games in 3 months stretch (with bloodbourne as well before 3, that's why you gotta get a PS4 because of the exclusive access to bloodbourne). I say play this, then 1, then 2, then 3. They are all great and you can appreciate the little tweaks in the newer ones if you go through them, but if you go backwards you will miss features you've gotten accustomed to. This one was the most difficult I think, maybe 1 was more so, unless you are a mage because there is an no Regen ring for magic (dark 1, 2, & 3 have a set amount and 3 changes it up a little bit more where you have limited health and magic potions and you decide how many of each you take i.e. 5 risk could be 4 health 1 magic, 5 health no magic, 3 health 2 magic, 5 magic no health, and so on as you discover items that increase the total amount) and you can pretty much keep unlimited health items unlike in the other ones where the healing items are limited and only increase slightly the amount you can carry through the game. Play them all, the order isn't that important but I recommend either going in order or going dark 1, demon, dark 2, dark 3. The warping changes in 2 and then again in 3 were an excellent change from dark 1 and make the lack of warping in dark 1 until the very end a little aggravating if you've already used warping in 2 & 3. The warping doesn't really apply in demon because it is a level based area (1-1, 1-2, 2-1 etc.) unlike the rest which are open worldish 3d metroidvania layouts.

**Q: Can I play this game on the PS4?**
A: No i dont think so.This has been out for the ps3 for awhile. Dark souls 1 and 2 are also out for the ps3.the ps4 has a new game i think ite called bloodborn.

**Q: Does this game come with its original packaging?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Game Like No Other
*by D***. on April 24, 2010*

Sad to say some people will never experience this game. It is one of the best I have ever played and I have played a bunch, from Oblivion, DAO, RFOM to R2 to COD4, 5, MW2 to Killzone2 to Uncharted 1 and 2 to Halo to LBP and the Ratchet and Clank games and many many more. It is unlike any you will ever play should you decide to try it and yes it is hard, but to say that simply doesn't explain why this is important to the game. One only has to look at the wikidot wiki on it to see how deep the game is. It's good to address complaints a very few people have had with the game: No checkpoints No saves Lots of dying Ok, the game doesn't have a menu that allows you to save anywhere you want, but that means menus don't interfere with the game-the game is about immersion. It does save after you kill enemies, when you reach certain points (it autosaves a lot), and when you die. It also saves when you quit the game and any baddies killed where you quit will be dead when you reload. Certain traps will reset, though. The other thing to note is there's no pause in the game, so if you have to run off to do something, you probably want to quit so as to avoid having some other player invade and kill you-because one innovative feature in the game is that other players can enter your game (at certain times) to help or to hurt you. The online feature is amazing. The game does involve a lot of dying on your part, some of it is even required, because certain situations are only created due to you dying. As well there are certain ones that only come up if you are fairly perfect in an area. The fact that the game is rather harsh due to the dying a lot part, and the fact that you lose all the souls (the form of currency in the game) you've accumulated and have to start the level you died in all over again with all foes having re-spawned and made harder to kill helps to create a certain edge of your seat experience. When you are up on some extremely high ledge with very little room for error or when you've gotten the message that some player has invaded your game when you have just fought some tough foes and have to replenish health and mana, you will feel the game and some sense of fear and anxiety. No other game today can do that for you. In most games if you die, at worst you start the area over again, no real penalties other than having to go through some small part again and try not to die at it. Demon's Souls creates real consequences for dying in the game and really makes you sweat everything. To say it isn't fun is only true for those who want a game that coddles them. This is a game that will bring out true fear and sense of accomplishment like no other. Yes, foes can one hit kill you, even some of the lesser foes, but I find this refreshing after playing games where multiple shots from a shotgun only slows an opponent down. Games today usually allow you to go hide and wait for your health to replenish after being shot by a machine gun. Demon's Souls causes you to be more tactical in your thinking. What works for one opponent will not for another. Watching, listening, walking and evading, and ultimately thinking, not charging in blindly are paramount. Character creation allows you to choose a certain class (each one has its benefits with unique abilities and/or items that you begin with), but you can change your mind throughout the game and choose level ups that turn your mage into a melee specialist if you choose. Spells, miracles, special weapons, world and character tendencies, as well as online hints, bloodstain replays, PVP and coop play make this one very special game. I, like many others thought it was way too hard at first-hated it, but a few hours into it and I can't put it down, months later.
