(+) Yeah! (+)

What is Dark Souls?

Dark Souls is the spiritual sequel to Demon's Souls. It takes what Demon's Souls did, and expands on it. Yada yada yada.

Here's a kickass -

There are already actual videos of how the game plays on Youtube. I've personally avoided just about all of them, because I don't want to know what I'm walking into.

Release date - Tuesday, October 4th (if you live in NA)

I tried Demon's Souls so many times but it's just too hard and frustrating for me. This game looks great but I'm sure it will have the same result =/

How far were you into Demon's Souls? I thought it was hard and annoying that I actually returned it. I decided to give it another chance a few months later, and ended up loving it so much that Dark Souls is probably the game I'm looking forward to the most.

Plus, it helped that it really wasn't too hard later on in the game, because you knew where enemies were, how to attack them, what weapons to use, ect.

My Guts run of Demon's Souls was such a jolly good time I just might do it again. Provided there's a slab of iron for me to use. >_>

debating on which system to get it for

was initially 360 but after looking around (and seeing how damn near everyone is getting it for PS3 + how Dark Souls was basically meant for PS3) I dunno lol.

Do Twilight Phantoms make prepubescent girls glee in adoration?

"Makes players **** themselves"

replace adoration with fear and that is probably more accurate =P
