Gonna pull the trigger, Ebay member will ship as a gift.

?46 it is!

Hope I enjoy it and can play some Co-Op with you guys:DD

Gotta buy inFamous as well this month though, gonna be poor:((

edit:> ?47 today, damn exchange rat:p:p

I'm still considering it, payday on Frida:):) Plus have about ?48 to come from quidco this month too so would pretty much be free:D :D

[gigatexel]

I started over as a Barbarian last night and managed to get far enough to find the Cling Ring. I still die every 2 seconds but finding the ring has made it somewhat bearable, for now. There's no hope in beating Vanguard by myself so who wants to do some co-op? :D

If you do end up going for it I found this to be the cheapest - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=220410937418 Due to free postage (delivery around 7 days) it makes it cheaper than others than tend to be around 60 odd $, but then have $7-10 postage.

Guy also confirmed he'll ship as a gift of low value to avoid tax.

I'll try helping out! Once I have this game all my exams are over so I'll spend some time trying to not die:pp Looking forward to the challenge, most other games are a walk in the park.

Does Demons Souls even have difficulty levels?:pp Or is it one default difficulty of "**** hard"?

[Waylander]

imo royal is a good starting class you get a ring that regenerates your mp and a decent spell but his hp is a little low (enough to get though the first real level without dying) and as that class starts as soul level 1 its cheap to level up the first few times, just attack at range with the magic then wait for it to regen, once you finish 1-1, grind it a few times so you can buy 150-200 arrows (to kill the dragon in 1-2) spend what you get from the dragon, then move on to the 1-2 boss, hes easy(er) with a magic user

Have to say I am intrigued by the game, really fancy it but not sure because of the difficulty. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge but when it feels like I am bashing my head against a brick wall the game controller generally gets bashed against the wall :p

Anyway do you guys reckon its worth the money or should I wait for the eventual translation of all the other PAL languages (be hopeful there is a translation)?

Well I decided to import because

a) I'm unsure if it will see a western release, although it being fully English....

b) If it does it won't be until the end of the year, maybe 2010

c) Also if it does we dunno if the devs will dumb it down for the western audiences, but this is quite unlikely. However it tends to be the Japanese who love crazy hard games, the west are too busy drooling over their gaming pads playing in "god mode", aka easy (waits for Sethos to show up and say "**** YOU AB I PLAY ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY")

[WastedJoker]

I originally started as Barbarian but I'm going back as a Royal..and to try and beat that Vanguard bugger :angry:

Also...handy hint..your choice of weapon is critical in more ways than is usual in a game!

Basterd* Sword + narrow corridor = deady mcdeath

*not the real name, damn swear filter :angry:

Some english maps

Don't exactly look like the most useful but I assume someone is going through the process of translating all the Japanese maps, more as I find them.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Holy ****, apparently this is the "Keel Smasher"

Apparently you can even dual wield it LOL

No idea how you get it but.

Yeah that's me:pp

I started over again as a Royal and got much further than my other characters. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I didn't realize you could lock on to enemies by clicking the right stick heh. Now I'm stuck at that big ass dragon. :|

I wish the manual was in engrish but I've found the wiki to be helpful.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Royal is a ranged character right?

I always prefer melee characters but if I get my ass handed to me I'll probably go ranged :p

[gigatexel]

Royal is more magic/melee with the focus on magic. The Hunter class is ranged and starts with a bow. You'll probably end up restarting a few times to play around with the different classes. :D

Did your game not come with a small English pamphlet explaining the various things?

[gigatexel]

Yes it did and most of that is explained while you play but I still wish that nice thick manual was in English.

[WastedJoker]

It looks like a lovely manual too :(

Wish we could get a pdf copy and have a friendly Korean translate :D

[gigatexel]

I think my manual is in Chinese, wanna swap. :p There's also an official strategy guide that's available only in .. what for it.. Japanese. :|

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Everyone's manual is in Japanese, Chinese or Korean.

The English leaflet is included in the Hong Kong version. The Korean version is also fully english in game, but it doesn't come with an English leaflet.

Some more Demons Souls love,

Dragon confirmed in Demon's Souls, breathes fire

From Software disappointed with Ninja Blade on Xbox 360, but it has a chance to redeem itself with the medieval-flavored Demon's Souls on PS3. This PlayStation exclusive looks really pretty, but the amount of gameplay we've seen is limited, despite the game being available over in Japan Land.

Luckily, one our resident Community Bloggers has set us straight and provided confirmation of a fire-breathing dragon that flaps around a bit during one point of the game. The twenty-four seconds of questionable-quality footage does not show or do very much of anything at all, but it's an exclusive console title, and that means fanboys will want to absorb any and all information they can, even if it's silly.

So, dig in and feast upon this hot exclusive video of a dragon that flaps around a bit for twenty-four seconds and then goes away!

Also, our CBlogger seems quite impressed with the game, naming the dragon's appearance as just one "oh sh*t" moment out of many. Sounds like Demon's Souls has a good shot of being far better than Ninja Blade.

Hit the jump for the hot, juicy, mindblowing video.

[Sethos]

Might have been mentioned but haven't follow the thread very closely, is there any plans for an English release or even better, a Demo so I can give it a spin?

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Asian/Korean versions are fully English (menus/subtitles and voices) which are why people are importing. Should get an EU/USA release based on that alone.

Don't think there is a demo on Hong Kong/Japanese store, I'll take a look.

[Sethos]

I did consider importing it but that's too much of a gamble without having more user feedback or a demo to try, game does look great.

[WastedJoker]

The best thing about this game is its replayability, imo. There's loads of stuff to go back to once you're stronger/better equipped.

Listen to the kid at the end of this video, crazy Japanese :p
