Dark Souls


Recommended Posts

This talk of P2P has killed my interest.

 

Did you play Demon's Souls? P2P was basically a separate community than the rest of the game. Very much an opt-in sort of thing you don't have to bother with if you don't want to.

 

I think you're confusing PVP with P2P.

 

Player vs. Player, as opposed to peer to peer.

 

It's the dodgy nature of peer to peer connections that people are worried about, I think, not the player vs. player combat that was implemented so uniquely... although the PVP could suck if the P2P connections sucked.

 

So in a mish-mash kind of way, I guess they would be connected?

"In the E3 demo, the Pyroclast had an item that allowed him to curse another person’s game. The effect is similar to changing the world tendency in Demon’s Souls, but it only affects a single player chosen at random by Dark Souls. An immediate effect are larger mobs instead of a few enemies that attack cursed players. Cursed? You can break the hex by finding the item the other player dropped in your world.

 

 

A few minutes later someone else playing Dark Souls must have used the same item. All of the sudden my game was full of pink zombies that mercilessly tore my character apart forcing me to restart at the last bonfire I visited."

 

 

Sounds interesting! :P

Oh man, I only got around to beating Demon's Souls a couple of months ago even though I had it pre-ordered and have owned it since launch.

On the one hand, I can now look forward to Dark Souls with a clean conscience. On the other, I fear it might be far too soon for me to experience such punishment again.

 

But still, it comes out like a week before my birthday, so if I ask for it I'll only have one other game purchase to make that month: Arkham City. So that's nice.

 

November is going to hurt like a bitch, though. New Assassin's Creed, new Uncharted, MGS Collection... And I'm sure there's one I'm forgetting.

 

Thank God I bought Black Ops last year, though. I sure as shit am NOT going to make the mistake of buying a COD title at launch ever again.

And I have no intention of buying Skyrim until I AT LEAST beat either Morrowind or Oblivion, so probably like the week after never.

Pre-ordered the PS3 version about a month ago.

 

The closer we get to the release date, the more excited I get. It kinda snuck up on me, actually.

I pre-ordered because Demon's Souls was excellent, but a month ago I wasn't exactly shitting myself with anticipation. It was more like "Eh, this is coming out soonish. Cool."

 

Now it's more like "OMG!! DARK SOULS IN 2 WEEKS!! :bun-ohmagawd: "

IGN are doing a 24 hours live stream of them playing the game.

I personally didn't intend to watch and spoil the game, but I checked it out out of curiosity and it's actually pretty cool to see the game being played live instead of just watching pre-recorded gameplay vids.

Can't wait to get my hands on this!!

I'd actually love to play this, but I'll have to time my playthrough carefully. Demon's Souls CONSUMED my life last fall when I played it, which did a number on my college work even though I had a lot more freetime during that particular semester. This semester I'm much more busy, so for the sake of my sanity (and college career) I NEED to stay away from this until most likely next summer.

 

:(
