Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 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.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Oh, right. Lol. Hungover and not reading everything properly. In that case, agreed, p2p is a turn off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The name n platform. It's essentially a sequel, just with none of that pesky Sony-owning-the-rights-therefore-prohibiting-a-multiplatform-release stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/09/apologies-to-whoever-i-played-dark-souls-with-i-summoned-monsters-in-your-game/ "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!

Mercurial Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 ASSUME THE POSITION! Just 3 more months for us normal people and 2 months for those crazy fuckers in Japan :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) 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!!

toxicitizen Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 IGN are doing a 24 hours live stream of them playing the game. http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/09/28/ign-live-24-hours-of-dark-souls 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercurial Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I am going to be going on the midnight launch on Monday. I'll post pics of any swag I get especially since it's 4 games coming out on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRan Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 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.

Mal Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yeah, I'm holding off on this as well (Sorry Hakidia) since I KNOW it will rape my time. Too much is riding on my performance in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
