Hey people just wanted to say a few words on my latest purchase, Demon's Souls. One word... well... more then one word Die Die Die Die Die.... and some more dying. That's pretty much what you'll be doing during this exeptionally hard game. Each battle requires you to use strategy and patience, and even then death is at your doorstep. I've just beat the first boss and made it to the 2nd. It's been a challenging run so far to say the least, and I gather this game is going to have me cursing and swearing for the umpteenth time but it is nonetheless a very, very good game.
I do enjoy the class I picked out "Knight" as melee appeals to me, I am also fond of magic users but because I've always picked magic users in the past in RPG's I've decided to go melee this time to see how that pans out. So far I'm loving it. This game is not for everyone, I spoke to the guy who sold me this game at EB Games and he said he quit because he just couldn't take the constant "restarting" from dying constantly. You see you build up souls as you kill your enemies and if you die you lose all the souls that you've accumulated during that run. Souls are used to upgrade and repare your equipment as well as purchase new equipment among other things. So you could say it's the currency of the game.
Well I pretty much am loving this game despite it's insanely difficult gameplay. I do encourage anyone that likes action/rpg or any medieval elements in their gameplay to try this out. There's an online element where others can leave you messages that give you tips before you forge ahead in the adventure. Also you can team up with your friends to beat a certain boss, I haven't tried doing that just yet but it does sound like there is some online co-op play involved. At any rate just wanted to give you guys the heads up on what's going on with me in terms of gaming. Take care for now.
