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 :(

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
