No worries.

This is a day one purchase, regardless.

If there was a demo they should make it so hard that no one could actually get to the end of it.

@UsernameOfTheDead

A demo could possibly ruin the experience. I remember the first time I played Demon's Souls.

"Wow, look at that boss! Now I'm going to jum-"

YOU ARE DEAD.

"..."

I enjoyed making all my friends go through that and seeing the look on their faces.

@UsernameOfTheDead I'd be game for a demo of either, just to try it out.. I know I'd find it too annoying :D

Four years later and I still don't get the Elebits thing, and by the look of the comments nobody else does either.

True. But you're also not British so you likely wouldn't get it anyway. I'm American myself and think it's kind of dumb. I mean calling a woman a 'bit' is different from 'Elebit.' Whatever. Anything to keep potential problems at bay.

Anyway, I think the developer's strength is definitely in creating captivating gameplay. I mean, "Dark Race" and "Dark Ring"? Really??? o_O I like "Dark Souls" A LOT better! Here's to the game's release!

@General Bison I know. I'm British too and didn't get it until I looked at that link above. But a "bit of skirt" or "bit of that" is NOT the same as just saying a bit! and when it's elebitis or whatever tf it is, that means nothing to me at all..

Anyway, I think Dark Souls sounds a lot better than the other names, but think this causes confusion for some people and makes them think it's a direct sequel to Demon's Souls.

As this will take twice as long as Demon's Souls to complete it should take me 2 months. Then factor in the extra difficulty and hopefully it's 3 :D Just wish it would come out sooner!

Dark Souls is significantly easier to pronounce than Demon's Souls 2.

Wonder what they'll name the third one...

I just hope it has the same MOOD as the first one. You know? That oppressive evil that sinks into everything.

God, I just loved it. The way the people even LOOKED bleak about their own lives, knowing what they have seen. Its so perfect. Give me that again.

Thats what made it such a great game. Knowing you are SUPPOSED to fail, and reading it on the faces of those you meet, having seen so many fail before you.

I've circled the dark ring of the dark race, and it left all involved with dark souls.

30-40 hours for Demon's Souls? I am near 40 hours and I have only fully completed one area, I would estimate I am a little over half way through. They must be talking about 30-40 hours of productive game play where the player isn't dieing and losing all of their soul points over and over...

I can't friggin' believe they are leaving out voice chat and the ability to play with friends.. AGAIN (source: gamespot preview). WTF. What are they smoking? They put those features in and their sales will double at the least.

Why is it such a crime to voice chat and play with people you know? Why?

I hear ya, but I think for me personally it would completely ruin the mood. Like trying to play Dead Space while holding a conversation. Just doesn't work, for me at least.

Yeah I remember playing the beginning of Demons Souls and having that first little boss destroy what little bit of hope I had... then later on when I beat the game I went back and beat him. However, I was reminding that I was SUPPOSE to die and what do I get as a reward for beating that opening tutorial? They take me STRAIGHT to the DRAGON GOD. So here I am:

*Dragon God ahead* I take two ste-

YOU ARE DEAD

@Farseye - Is this...is this a real thing? Can you win the tutorial level?

Just googled. Apparently you can. I thought there weren't any secrets to Demon's Souls that I didn't know, and apparently I was wrong. Granted, there is no real reward for beating him (other than a view of a slightly modified Dragon God area, and a small cutscene) but it still would be cool to do myself.

I hope Dark Souls has little secrets like this.

It makes sense, considering the previous game it's not likely a title that lends itself well to demoing. Games with such a hard road to success don't usually make for satisfying or rewarding experiences in the short span a demo provides.

40 hours for demon's souls? Yeah right, it took my friend 4 days to get to the mid boss of the first level (Phalanx).. and he loved every minute of it. I am finally jumping into this game after waiting over a year to play it.. i bought it but was incredibly scared about what people said about its difficulty.

And yeah, It's true.. It is a brutal game.

Brutally hard. And It's addictive as hell. If you can find a sealed copy for $20 grab it. I am loving it
