OMG FINALLY got my pure bladestone :woot: Must of farmed this dual wielding black phantom skeleton just over 100 times. Not a bad amount according to some people online, considering the drop rate is like 0.5% and people are in the 100's.

I was about to give up as well seeing as I lost 640k souls not long before this :pinch:

Incase anyone wonders what you need to go through,

Around the corner there is another 2 black phantom golden skeletons that are worth soul sucking for exp (they have a chance to drop chunk of bladestone also, the rare category under pure).

I just saw some videos and now I'm looking forward to get this game. Looks interesting.

Me too, but I'm most likely gonna wait for it to come out here officially. I don't wanna pay ~?50.

Paid ?45 for my copy, I know it's not much under the ?50 but that's how much the local retailler was selling fo:) :)

Call me fussy, but I prefer a localised version if possible, so I'll prefer to wait at least until the American version comes out. The only PS3 game I've bought outside of Europe is Initial D Extreme Stage.

EDIT: OK, I may change my mind after seeing the Deluxe Edition pre-order on Amazon.com. Just over ?40 and you get an artbook and the soundtrack CD, which is a pretty good deal!

Does anyone know a way of ordering an Amazon.com item outside of America? I mean actually shipping it outside of America. If there isn't a way, then would an American on here be kind enough to let me order one to their address then they ship it out for me in exchange for a few quid in their pocket:p :p

EDIT 2: It's looking a bit more promising. I looked at all the sites linked on the official Demon's Souls site, and three of them will ship to me: Videogamesplus.ca, Gamestop.com, and EBGames.com (which on close inspection, looks fairly similar to Gamestop's site; it uses the same shipping pag:p :p ) In terms of Gamestop and EBGames, they both charge the full $70 retail, and they charge only $15 shipping for the UK, so $85 in total, which is roughly ?50, which isn't bad, considering it's the deluxe edition and it's with shipping included:); :) I'll bookmark the links, but I'm not fully decided yet.

This game is only out in Asia?? The game is in English with English subtitles???

I believe it's out in 2-3 'Eastern' Regions. But yes there are English Voice and Text versions out there :) It's currently underway for US release form Atlus and still no word of an EU release that I'm aware of.

It's been a long journey but I'm closing in on the Platinum.

Should be able to do it in one more playthrough, just finishing my second now :) New Game Plus is much harder, I'd recommend any newcomers level as much as they can first time through and try to do as much as they can completion/trophy wise. I've lost hundreds of thousands of souls this playthrough from dieing, probably easily over 1 million :(

I badly need a Pure Moonlight stone, however it only drops from the crystal geckos who have a limited respawn count meaning if it doesn't drop, you need to wait till your next playthrough :( Although drop rate is fairly decent, I've just had bad luck.

Each further new game only ramps difficulty by around 8%, new game ++ shouldn't be as steep as new game +.

Number 1 video walkthrough from Atlus is up, explains what the game is about and it's features (these aren't gameplay walkthroughs, more information for a buyer)

Hope people buy this when it hits America, my favourite RPG this generation, one of my favourite games also. It's not a mass market appeal RPG though. I'll update this topic with each video walkthrough as it pops up.

Not yet, I started playing other games. Still have around 10-15 hours till I get my plat, need to pretty much complete the game once more, but I'll be doing it quickly without caring about loot and the likes.

Demon?s Souls PS3 Video Walkthrough Part Twob>

AtlusA.R.A.M. here with part two of our Demon?s Souls video walkthrough series. While our first part served primarily as an introduction to the game for newcomers, focusing on basics, this second video dives headlong into the most significant, most discussed, most acclaimed feature in the upcoming PlayStation 3-exclusive action RPG: online functionality.

Where most games offer multiplayer as a separate mode, something detached from the main experience, Demon?s Souls takes the single-player games from online PS3 owners across the country, treats them as individual worlds in an interconnected universe, and allows the worlds to bridge from time to time, leading to some exciting cooperative and competitive interaction between players, in addition to the awesome messaging and bloodstain features.

There?s never really been a gaming experience quite like Demon?s Souls, and we?re excited to be able to show you, in detail, exactly why that?s the case.

Demon?s Souls releases on October 6 in two flavors: standard ($59.99) and deluxe ($69.99). The deluxe edition nets you a 160-page strategy guide (not sold separately!) and a beautiful embossed slipcase with foil accents. Pre-order EITHER version at a participating retailer (while supplies last) and you?ll also receive a 40-page, full-color art book and the game?s full soundtrack CD ? all at no extra cost to you.

Thanks for all your support!

Another good video walkthrough to watch if you're interested in the title.

Does the new NA version have any extras/upgrades/fixes to the EU/Asia version?

There is no EU version :p

I think it's just a complete overhaul of the rather average English translation in the Asian copy, which is why they're offerings lots of free content with the US version, to try and tempt importers to double dip.

Well that and the USA copy has it's own servers for the online component, you'll be playing with fellow Americans, not Japanese/Chinese/Asians.

why cant these games come with japanese voice, and eng sub... the eng voices are just horrible...

Have you even played the game?

English voice acting is pretty damn good, every character has their own unique accent, Scottish blacksmith ftw :p

Man will everyone stop talking me into buying this game.

I keep telling myself, with a new born, that I only have about 1-2 hours a night to play vids and catch up on all my other games. After hearing all the talk and reviews I don't think I will be able to keep myself away....even though I'm going to be spending 6 months trying to get past the first level....

That made me think of a question. Can you save the game at any point? I'm just wondering if I can only play for an hour and I have to quit am I going to have to start the level over or anything like that?

Wherever you quit you will automatically load there again, even if it's half way through a level :)

Another review, 9.5/10

Just got this e-mail from Atlus. It's the unboxing video for the North American Deluxe Edition.

Video:

I await my copy. :)

Makes me want to double dip badly :(

    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
