  • Here is a question for serious Demon/Dark Soul players.

    How does the multiplayer in Dark Souls compare to that in Demons. I have double platinum UK/US in Demons 500+ hours played, and loved the multiplayer (Invading, being Invaded ;) PvP in general)

    The problem is i bought Dark on the day of release and thought it was shite, No nexus/central area being a major gripe amoung others. Thing is i heard ages ago that the multiplayer is piss poor in Dark compared to Demons, was that accurate info.

  • yet to find any hard pc games like dark soul/ demon souls

  • too bad it only for ps3 :(

  • @TheRaveous ikr

  • Add me on PSN to play! KillzoneEFFECT

  • I tried demons souls and I think the critic over rated this game. The lady with candle wax on her eyes is a souls grubbing bitch! The only real way to get around this game is to be lucky enough to get good drops form enemies. Also enemies all around the game world get stronger when you upgrade your stats. Graphics and gameplay were great though. After 3 days of playing this game, I'd give this game 2 out of 5

  • @MultiGG2 Are you crying because this game was too hard for you?

  • @sandmanhardstyle If by "cry" you mean the old meaning of the word in which I tell everyone that the game had great potental but the creaters fucked it up like what has been going on lately with games today, then yes.

  • @MultiGG2 No I meant complaining on how hard it is. But thanks for clearing it up!

  • @sandmanhardstyle Hard nothing! You remember that wax eyed bitch right? She's a soul grubbing hore! Thousands of souls for one piont increase on stats.

  • @MultiGG2 Uh, yeah, that's the point. It's not supposed to be about the leveling. It's dependent on your skill. If you seriously want to whine about that then go somewhere else.

  • Mage is a way to go in this game, don't even bother with melee character.

  • skyrim is the best of all

  • @iaml3642494 you're just a mainstream pussy. gtfo.

  • @iaml3642494 Skyrim is Demon/Dark Souls for children.

  • @iaml3642494 Skyrim is Demon/Dark Souls for children.

  • Just finished dark souls and im going to buy this one :)

  • When he says you lose all of your souls does that mean you go back to level 1 (or whatever the equivalent is)?

  • @gameman64141 No, you just lose souls you haven't spent yet.

  • dying alot is a minus because its frustrating...regardless of how a game plays frustration can stop you from playing it entirely

  • low score for diyng a lot... that's like giving a -1 to meatboy... and everyone knows it's a perfect 10!!!!

  • JESUS CHRIST ITS A VIDEO REVIEW. THEY'RE GOING TO SAY SHIT LIKE "You will die, lots." IF YOU WANT AN INDEPTH REVIEW READ THE FULL THING ON THEIR SITE, THEN IF YOU WANT A REAL REVIEW DON'T EVEN LOOK AT IGN.

    Caps lock is cruise control fer cool.

  • I'm a PC gamer but this is one of the best games this gen

  • Comment removed

  • these graphics are beast for 2009... i'd play but im into skyrim a lot lately.

  • @miffification played dark souls yet ?

  • I don't think that dieing a lot took away from the score, that is something that will discourage a lot of gamers who are use to having their hands held through out all modern games, that is why it is a negative to the game, it did not get a ten because it was not a perfect game, as few games are. It is flawed, deal with it.

  • We want pc please

  • If every game was rated a perfect 10/10, we would have to create a new scale that determines how much more perfect one game is over another.

    So we would start back at 1.

  • People are getting pissed at the "low score." Are you fucking serious? 9.4 is a SPECTACULAR score!

    Not every good game is OMG BEST GAME EVAR PERFECT 10 OUT OF 10! Calm the fuck down, people!

  • At $15 dollars New.... this game is a must!

  • so i wonder if people still play this game, because i just bought it(haven't played yet) and he makes the online features sound fun.

  • @loveabldemon Not anymore... But if you need help with a boss sometimes, just "answere" this comment and hope im in. (in youtube so i can play, so we can meet sometimes)PS:I think alot of players stoped playing this year because they got new games, for christmas... By the way: sorry for my bad english.

  • @AnthonyLongboarding well, you're "bad" english is fine, i live with people and their first language is not English. and yeah, i'll comment back some other time when i do need help. thank you.

  • How the fuck do you level up your charecter?

    I have looked everywhere on the start menu and cannot find an option!

  • @BaRtMaN2466 you could always google it, or look in an instruction booklet instead of wasting time posting your irritation

  • @BaRtMaN2466 You must´ve cleared the first level to level up.

  • hmmm, just bought this game today while on a trip. can't wait to get home and try it out. ;D

  • If you show the game the respect it deserves you will do fine. My first full playthrough I finished with around 20 stones of ephemeral eyes because I only died 2 or 3 times through the entire game, that's not me claiming to be a master, I just play carefully.

    Quick tip for those who don't like having to re-start levels after dying...

    As soon as you die hold down your PS button on the controller and quit the game as fast as you can, reload the game and you'll be at your last auto-save... Alive.

  • @LeeJody I rather start over the beast way and learn from my mistakes. It adds satisfaction.

  • @demonnogo I'm not sure what's satisfying about playing through the same level over and over again. If I make a stupid mistake I will hold my hands up and start the level again.

    Other times though like falling down that pit before reaching Flamelurker and trying to land on the little ledges, it was partly down to luck, and if I fail because of bad luck I don't really consider it to be my fault. So for that I will 'cheat'.

    If Flamelurker had killed me I would've done the same, to avoid the pit.

  • @LeeJody I guess that's just me then.

  • It's a very good game but I don't think it's as difficult as a lot of people make it out to be.

    I see a lot of bloodstains showing people charging in headfirst, wielding a massive axe with both hands, and they drop like flies. You have to play DS slowly and carefully, play defensively ALL the time, retreat to heal and try to dodge attacks instead of blocking, you'll save stamina. Attack from range when possible, wear light armour so you can roll away faster and upgrade your vitality!

  • Guys i'm looking for a little help. I just got a bow to try and get the drake sword, but when I try to equip it, it says "Unable to wield this weapon efficently with present stats" how do I know when my stats get high enough? Is there some kind of menu I can't find that says required stats? (I'm a sorcerer btw, just in case it's relevant)

  • @LolWutThxBai oh i though this was a dark souls review, i misread the title xD

  • @LolWutThxBai If you equip the weapon and then look for that weapon in your menu you will see the stat requirements that you need to wield it. If you don't meet the requirements I think the stats that you are short on will appear red. Don't try using anything that you don't have the requirements for because it's performance will be terrible.

    Instead of 'Strength, Dexterity etc...' Demon's Souls uses symbols so you'll have to check your booklet to find out which ones are which.

  • I just ordered a ps3 just that i could play this game, i played dark souls on xbox and it is just amezing.

  • Downgraded score because of "You will die, lots." That's like giving amnesia a lower score for it being scary....

  • @TheJackson4eva but amnesia isnt scary

  • @idontcaremovies It's scary if you're playing alone in the dark.

  • I love this game..not as hard as the critics say.I found it harder just figuring out where to go than actually fighting...died probably 6 times 1st playthrough...king allant and fucking maneater only bosses that really tested me

  • demons souls is an awesome game because, the character itself is not overpowered, ye you can level up strength, magic, and other but for example you can die with one blow if you are against a boss, that makes the game hard. when i played it you really felt like a real knite like in the past, avoiding the magic and stuff.

  • Can someone clarify for me Should i get demon's souls or dark souls?

  • @codybird344 try demon souls first just to get a taste of the game, cos you can get it cheap on ebay. If you like it, get dark souls too.

  • Wait I wanna for my 360 you ps3 people get mass effect :)

  • after playing dark soul's this game is a cake

  • @drakath55 ...No.

  • @demonnogo really? cuz i think demon souls is just cake to me. i beated game twice. and just to think of it,its like it was a test to get us prepared for....Dark Souls.

  • @drakath55

    the only way anyone could say this game is easy is if they used the strategy guide... or played dark souls first and knows how to fight and what is the best way to lvl up.

    also, if this game is easy then does that mean there are no hard games...?

  • Are newer made us pussies?

  • This game reminds me of Devil May Cry 3.

  • This game sucks at being the worse game I have ever played :D

  • @combo153 Double negative?

  • @combo153 yes it does :)

  • please help, I want one of the Souls games but I don't know which one of them to buy first Demon Souls or Dark Souls

  • @sagizilla Get demon souls first because the 2nd one is even harder and more expensive and you might not even like it , you should get demon souls first , i got my copy for like 13 bucks :p

  • @scott8861 plus the demon souls servers are shutting down in march

  • This game is not for me as it has too much sexual innuendo coz u can take the penetrator's sword apply sticky white substance and go forth and touch the demon inside the maiden in black.

  • I already beat Dark Souls twice, and I'm thinking of buying this... Should I?

  • @EliteTarget definitely its just as hard and rewarding as dark souls and a lot of people think it's better than dark souls me included. Dark souls is still a fantastic game though. 

  • Should I get this game or dark souls

  • @MultiGuest7 both :P

  • @MultiGuest7

    both + Uncharted 3

  • This game is so good and SO hard

  • If anything happens to my ps3 or controller tell the police it's dark souls from Namco bandai

  • demons soul and dark soul are the HARDEST games out

  • This game may be a Hard Son of a Bitch but if your a patient gamer you have a higher chance of completing the game. Cause I found my self replaying levels that I have finished a lot to level up. It may seem repetitive, but in the long run it's rewarding.

  • wait, you gave it a lesser scored because you died alot? That's the whole point of a making a game hard....

  • @howlingwolf5213 Actually, he has a point. I bought this game, i play it and i love it but it's very annoying to be constantly dying. Yes, it improves your game style as you learn how to proceed but sometimes it seems that the game is simply trolling you. And in dark levels such as dungeons where enemies can pop out of nowhere, well... you just got yourself the perfect recipe to get screwed. A lot. -.-"

  • @howlingwolf5213 Remember, there is a fine line between difficulty and cheap frustration.

  • @dragoniguana but everytime you die in this game it's fair, it is always your fault not the games. You can't take points away from a game that is made to be hard because you died alot, that's the whole point of any hard game

  • @howlingwolf5213 I guess you are right. After looking so more, I agree. It is fair, and every time you die, you learn.

  • @howlingwolf5213 Well, he said that the game is fun, and not "cheap". He says it's very rewarding. And I don't think he took off much for the difficulty. 9.4 is great. Were you expecting a 10? Anyway, hard games are fine and all, but who wants a game that's so difficult most people will never be able to beat it?

  • @Warghost1000 I personally think it should get a 10 but I'm not mad about the score, I 'm mad that you would deduct a hard game for being a hard game. Also, I love those extremely difficult games that most people will never have the patience to beat, it shows your true skill under pressure and you always feel better after beating them than you would an average game

  • @howlingwolf5213 It's still a turn off for a lot of casual gamers.

  • @howlingwolf5213

    9.4 is still fairly generous, so ill let it slide

  • Demon's souls i will always love you more than dark souls.

  • lol, those people that complain about no pausing probably arent very good and throw a fit everytime they die... MOM I CANT PAuSE THE GAME AND I DIED AGAIN WHAAAAA!

  • @TheSxNKnight Or you know... Need to answer the phone or go to the door?

  • A challenge is good and all, but you can't pause? That's not a challenge, it's "unfair and cheap".

  • @niceone63 It adds challenge, think of it this way. Personally if I get scared in a game I pause i to get my bearing. You can't pause life so why should you be able to in a game? 

  • @ThatOneGamer97  maybe because its... NOT LIFE?!

  • @ThatOneGamer97 So you can take a fucking piss break or go do something that you need to do.

  • @niceone63 most online multi player games dont have pause. able to pause will not save you from death in this game. i dont know why ppl are even talking about pauses. there arent many enemies in each area, if u want a break just stay in a safe place.

  • @niceone63 That's the only damn thing that piss me off about this game. the only way for you to basically pause is if u go back to the Nexus.

  • @niceone63 No it doesn't it makes the game more fun plus you cant pause online games

  • @justmedawg Thats's 2 words...

  • 136 people suck at demons souls

  • This game looks really fun and challenging which i love, nd it may be hard but not as hard as they say it is cuz eventually you'll get more skilled in the game..i really wanna own this game, ima get it for christmas:)...can't wait to beat it and become a champion.

  • @tekkenwarrior00123 get dark souls its newer

  • @Jefnboy Yes it's newer. but also alot easier

  • @deetoxDK its easier just because u played demons souls bro.

  • @onebloodfool

    faggot

  • dude i fucking want this game so fucking badddd

  • @L3G1T0Sh1T Go buy it?

  • This game is not hard whatsoever. I beat this game and Dark Souls in two weeks. Many of you are just impatient little pricks who don't know what to do, or you just run in sword in hand and get fucked. Faggots.

  • @HolographicSpace Quit being an asshole.

  • @demonnogo Shut the fuck up.

  • So this isn't for the xbox? I really like challenging games. Not so sure about this one though because I prefer challenging games in the sense of hard puzzles like Myst and Zelda

  • My 12-year-old little brother wants this game for Christmas. I think I should get it for him, just so he can rage for a few months.

  • @THEONLYTACQ get hem dark souls

  • why does this game look alot harder than dark souls? don't get me wrong dark souls is a challenging game but the the bonfire system makes it way to easy to farm souls, which takes out alot of the challenge :(

  • @bonehead156 they aren't exactly difficult in the same areas - getting to the bells is easy, hunting down the lord souls in my opinion is what would be considered harder than the scenarios that demon's souls offered.

    also dark souls can be a much tougher game if you only use the firelink bonfire : )

  • Highly recommended 5 STARS**** I bet so many people complained and say this game is cheap with how the enemies hit you. LOL :D Bet you got owned Shrine Storm world. :) Noobs stick with Bolataria. 

  • Best game this gen. Even better than Dark Souls!

  • @Billitrance

    Is this game and Dark Souls related..

    Like is Dark Souls a Sequel to it??

  • @coolboy9991 Kind of. Its the next one in the series and the gameplay is very similar but there is no connection between the stories at all

  • @Billitrance

    Ok. Thanks

  • this game is so hard i died in my sleep and woke up in the nexus!

  • 135 ppl were pissed off playing this game

  • I remember leaving this game (which is one of my favourite games of all time) for around 8 months just because i couldn't get into many PvP and co-op games. I later searched online for advice on what soul level i had to be at to get into a lot of games but it was too late. SO ashamed. Never mind, co-oping Flamelurker dozens of times was fun while it lasted

  • this game looks like it would piss me off

  • dude relax! i only used the end quotes to exaggerate my point, get over yourself dumbass!!

  • I am convinced that IGN hires students in special ed high school English classes to do their reviews. Listen to this guy. He can barely read.

  • I dont see the appeal in this game yet, but i would like to see it and try it for myself to get a better understanding first though =)

  • @iceStrike216 how are the silvers down, because I just invaded 3 players worlds and killed them and I saw someone blue sign at the penetrator boss place and he helped me kill false king allant.

  • How difficult is Demon's Souls? It's been two years since I bought this game. And yet I can't beat it. T_T

  • @Jack2PointO beat it in a day

    

  • @BelgarionRiva101 neckkkkkkkk

  • Demon's Souls is my all time favorite Playstation 3 exclusive.

  • Can someone please help me with 1-5 boss(king alant), it's my 1st play through and he is pissing me off. I've killed the blue dragon, oh ya almost forgot, my level is 81 and my PSN is lonerangerkill. I'm begging you to help me, and I'll help you if you need to kill him too.

  • @Screaminbeamin The servers are down permenantly. You'll have to do it on your own.

  • @IceStrike216

    Wrong, faggot. They're still up.

  • @crazymiles Go get cancer you dick sucking faggot, your birth certificate is an apology from the condom company.

  • @IceStrike216

    Cretin gets caught spreading false information about the Demon's Souls servers being shut off permanently. Cretin gets called out on it. This angers the cretin, and he responds with a grammatically challenged retort, complete with an old and completely unoriginal joke. Goddamn, IceStrike216, just shut the fuck up before you embarrass yourself further!

  • @Screaminbeamin DO NOT MOVE at the entrance. He will take your arrows like a champ until he dies. As soon as you change weapon, move forward, any flick of the analog sticks or of any button other than aiming and shooting, he will rape you. Just stay at the entrance. Even if you don't see him, shoot at an angle, and you will see his health deplete if you hit him. After 1000 arrows or so, he'll die. Make sure you maximize damage for each arrow by equiping the correct gear. Cheers!

  • listen little boy/girl i don't just make stuff up i make sure to get the facts first.ACCORDING to the producers ( i watched an interview with the games creators on IGN ) dark souls and i quote "is not a sequal to demons souls, it is more like a spiritual successor" end quote. so don't tell me i'm stupid i'm 19 years old and very much literate.do some research and you will see for yourself,you don't have to listen to me if you think i'm too STUPID!!!

  • @tricknick9211

    You're right about it not being a sequel, but you're still pretty goddamn illiterate if you don't understand that people only say "end quote" while speaking, not writing. That's what quotation marks are for, retard. Goddamn, I can't stop laughing.

  • Lol Ask a person who's played demon souls, ask them to sum it up in one word. Death

  • @souleaterfan1234 mine is firestorm abuse :/

  • @justmedawg Thats's 2 words...

  • All these bosses you saw in the video are easy to kill. Flamelurker and maneaters are the hardest bosses you will ever face. Tip for flamelurker, use water veil and purple flame shield. For maneaters, just kill the first one really quick......

  • @Jack2PointO Or stand behind the invisible door and shoot arrows at it before entering the actual room :3

  • i love this game, but i suck at it... i cant get dark souls until i finish demon souls. but people are saying its not so up to par with demon souls can anyone comment on this? please

  • the first thing i would like to say is this:dark souls is NOT! a sequal to demon souls.next is this:both games are good, but dark souls is slighty better according to a review at gamespot(which i encourage you to watch) next is this:both games are equally as difficult.

  • @tricknick9211 ur fucking stupid if you think dark souls is not the sequel to demons souls,it fucking is

  • @RIMOOREZ

    It's not a sequel, faggot. It's a spiritual successor. There's a huge difference, but one I don't expect a mouth-breathing cretin like you to understand.

  • @crazymiles i didnt even write that comment,my stupid ass uncle did,cuz he thinks he knows everything

  • @crazymiles i for one,do know that

  • Sweet I just got this finally!! lol. Black friday hit and I got Demon Souls, Blazing Souls Accelate, and Jeanne D'arc, I'm gonna start Demon Souls tonight seeing's how it's friday. And keep playing Crimson Gem Saga on psp. Wooohoo. Demon Souls looks so damn awesome though.

  • it's very hard for me to understand that guy

  • is there an easy difficulty?

  • @etwisabeta you cant choose the difficulty, is already preset.

  • @etwisabeta no...

  • @etwisabeta You start at the easiest difficulty. After you beat the game (5-10h if you manage not to die too much), you start again, with enemies having much more hp, much more dmg.

  • lol at the pc vs console comments.

  • just rented dark souls and i really want to get this game and beat it first

  • @billybobjimmyjobjr I haven't played Dark Souls but this game is one of the best I've played for PS3 and for what I've heard it's is pretty much alike. It's a total must play if you like challenging, rewarding, epic games!!

  • @billybobjimmyjobjr People still playing this game online?

  • @TheRedmondgore yes.. 'cause its still fun

  • @TheRedmondgore

    hell yeah!

  • "I beat Demon's Souls" in a correct world, those words would get you laid so fast.

  • @TheHorrorAnthem You are correct sir. The traditional reason for getting laid only requires normal human shit like pretending to care about womanly ramblings, but the Demon's Souls reason requires superhuman nerd rage powers that were entirely unknown to mankind until the era of Japanese gaming.

  • Question are the Demon's Souls servers still run?

  • @Gamer1990100 Yes, I think they are till mid next year.

  • @Gamer1990100 Yes they are !

  • @ANALKL0DA Thanks.

  • great review

  • I'm currently playing this game, and holy crap! I've never been so challenged in a game before.

  • bonchbonch = pc gaymer. PCs are 4 doing work not fr upgrading just so that you can look at hi res textues from 5 inches away from d screen while humping ur keyboard lol

  • Dark Souls is not as hard as Demon Souls!

  • Skyrim is better.

  • @ColderSubzero Because this game was released over 2 years ago you fucking twat. Go compare Skyrim to Dark Souls. Douchebag.
