+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted June 29, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted June 29, 2010 Demon's Souls has only just come out in Europe, after an agonising delay. If you thought the wait would mean most of the target audience would have imported and passed on the local release, though, you're dead wrong. It seems people were willing to wait (or were convinced to buy it a second time because ofthe PAL version's fancy box), as the game has debuted on the British charts in seventh place, an incredible achievement considering its niche appeal. So well done, Namco Bandai, for having the guts to publish the game in the Old World, and well done to everyone that picked it up, because it'll send a message that stuff like this can happen more often.

Corris Veteran Posted June 29, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2010 I don't have it because I have no money, but when I do I am too lazy to import it due to not liking the UK box it comes in. Ah well, lol. It's great to see that it is selling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 After finally playing this. It's alright. Was a bit slow for me and I love my MMOs! :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I don't think I'll bother getting the PAL version. I've hardly played my US copy since I got it back in December. Way too difficult for me, and I'm not a fan of the controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsy66 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Well I'm pretty much an exclusive FPS player, but I'm loving this game. It's so damn deep! The difficulty is just a nice challenge. It can get pretty frustrating at times, but it's actually taught me how to deal with frustration in games a bit better. I was far too used to have a checkpoint every 10 feet! Edit: Wow the PSN Portable ID sure does like to take its time updating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReAnimation Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I picked it up when it came out. Read lots of positive stuff about Demon's Souls so was glad it finally got released in Europe. I'm about 4 hours in so far, taking things very slowly, but enjoying every minute of it. It did take me a hour or so to get in to because it is a really challenging game, but once you get over that learning curve it really does hook you. If you have a PS3, you need this game!

ramsy66 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 This game really is frustrating. I'm on the flame lurker boss and he's so hard. I got him down to quite low HP and he just oblitirated me, I nearly put my fist through something. I just keep telling myself that this is just how the game is though. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just go and try doing another level though. Fighting your way through 4-1 is a good bet for levelling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I tried Flamelurker a few times so I'm just doing what you said and trying something else. I have to say, I would really really like it if R3 didn't centre the camera. :pinch: The amount of times I've lost my bearings trying to lock onto an enemy just for the camera to spin around is silly.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted June 30, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted June 30, 2010 If you don't mind waiting till August you can get it for ?15 new when the Vanilla edition arrives - http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;0;-1;-1;-1&sku=713683&affiliate=buyat&lpgrp=network&batuid=1000&WT.mc_id=101233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex566 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The game is insane, but I really like it! It's a lot better then the mess that was Final Fantasy XIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsy66 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Just beat the leech monster and the dirty colossus. They were really really easy after I got the flame spell. All you have to do is dodge from side to side when they shoot anything at you and keep hitting them with the flame spell. (Or flame bombs if you don't have the spell) Don't really like the levels you have to go through on that stage though. Can't remember the name of the place, but it's really depressing. It's all sewery type bogs and broken up huts, with plague ridden rats all over the place! :unsure: Bit scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo2008jedi Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Picking up my copy today. After reading the topics of the US import I really wanted this game, but not pay ?50+ for an import. Glad they brought it out in the EU! Everything I have read just makes me want to play it, can't wait!!!! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
