Ninja Blade.. just let me get that straight.
That's one of those games that go like "PRESS X TO FUCKING NOT DIE!!!111" every five minutes but the freaking QTE sequences are like a minute long?
Fuck games with that amount of QTE. If I wanna play Simon says I play Stepmania Guitar Hero or something like that.


yes it has rather long QTE sequences, in most cases for those epic boss finishing moves. ffs, god of war had them too for the same reasons and that game was a system seller. indigo prophecy/fahrenheit? a 10 hour quicktime sequence and still an epic game.

you shouldn't condemn a game just because you have to press buttons during cutscenes. and the amount isn't that much anyway Wink

I just looked, I have Ninja Blade lying around so I was fair and gave it a go, I guess. Must have been the whole shabang that turned me off, setting + QTEs. Maybe it reminded me too much of Ninja Gaiden which is still a bane of my existence...

Oh and, that might be a personal opinion, but to me the QTEs in God Of War felt way more epic.

I'm starting to really wonder why I actually like this game. Part of me is like "Why am I playing a game so much when the game itself rages me to the point of throwing things around the room? Life is too short to intentionally piss yourself off." but then the other part is like "why are you complaining at a game thats hard for once, you bitch when games are too easy.

ARgh. Endless frustration yet somehow completely compelling.

I find myself being scared shitless in the Tower of Latria because it's so freaking dark. Then you've got all those screams that sound like the guys in there suffer from some really bad gastric disease...
Normally I'm not easily scared but this game has me fearing for my life.
While being dead isn't all that bad in this game it still annoys the shit out of me and losing all your souls is anything but desireable so I find myself almost sneaking through the levels so nobody will get the jump on me.
Damn, this game makes me paranoid.

I'm not that far into it, I finished 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1 and of all those bosses the 2-2 boss was the hardest up to now.... Annoying son of a bitch. Got him in the end with the help of two blue phantoms Very Happy

Btw. had my first run in with a Black Phantom on friday. Guy pissed me off so bad. Running away from me while casting magic, only reason I got him in the end was because he walked up to a wall and was out of magic Twisted Evil

fucking agreed! Its one of the only games ive actually been truly shitting myself, this and the original silent hill are the only ones to ever achieve it. What makes this fucker worse is that you cant pause Laughing just run, run away!

last night I was huddled into a corner with my dagger, there was a strange noise up ahead and i was actually taking baby steps and spinning 360 every 10 seconds like a scared sheep Laughing It draws you in compeltely

i suppose you didn't learn any magic as a knight? well then it's patience and riposte (preferably with a bit of grinding beforehand), or try rolling past him and then backstabbing him (gotta be quick tho).

there's also this little bug that if you lure him back to the staircase on the other side of the castle, with bit of luck he'll take the "more direct" way towards, you-->falling down and dying Wink

Wait, what? What red eyed knight? I remeber seing one in the Boletarian Palace in front of some huge ass door that needed a key that I didn't have. There are more of those fuckers? That freaking spear carrying asshole killed me so many times that 's not fun anymore.

of course there are more. and if you proceed a bit more, you'll find the upgraded, ultra-fast version of knights - skeletons! good luck especially with the red-eyed, dual katana wielding variant Laughing

That's true but I was kinda disappointed by the artbook in the collector's edition.
It's rather small and rather thin. Was expecting more :/
Well, it's still worth the 10 bucks extra for the deluxe edition Very Happy

btw. I still think those Octo-men look kinda like Cthulhu
I mean, come on. There is some sort resemblence.

I just found a fucking weird bug in the Phalanx boss fight Laughing

Take a turpentine ready, run straight into one of the corners of the inner pillars and keep sprinting. When your green stamina bar hits 0 and you stall, press your Use Item button. Infinite flaming weapon Laughing had to restart the ps3 to get rid of it, it stayed on for more than 5 mins (even after nexus visit) :/

Quote:
An ominous warning from Atlus indicates that online players of Demon's Souls for the PlayStation 3 will find the Demon's minions much more powerful on All Hallow's Eve.

The Kingdom of Boletaria is a pretty dark place, so reports of it growing darker over the Halloween weekend are disturbing to say the least. According to Atlus' Aram Jabbari, the tricks are getting tougher, but the treats will be worth it.

"Early reports from the Kingdom of Boletaria indicate that the Old One's power grows," announced Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus, shuffling awkwardly under the weight of his full set of fluted armor. "We've discovered that the nefarious Demon will seek to descend the land in pure blackness on All Hallow's Eve. His minions will be more powerful, but the rewards for those who seek to challenge them will be greater as well. We don't know how long this dark tendency will last, but we do advise those prone to controller-into-LCD syndrome to proceed carefully."

Are you up to the challenge? I'll be hiding until this thing blows over.


Sounds Great !

Thoroughly deserved.

Beating Dragon Age: Origins shows you just how innovative it is.

And a timely notice to it's detractors, game play is and always will be King.

Thanks for the update Mr King Wink

and to think it almost didn't make it to the us and europe...
I guess the original publisher didn't think it the americans and europeans would appreciate the difficulty.
thank god for atlus Razz

didn't matter to me that much though, as I had alraedy bought the korean version before atlus announced they would publish it elsewhere.

How do they match Demon Souls in the sequel though?
