well you sir are better then i. idk if its the class i chose (cleric/priest) or maybe im out of my groove. but im doing 10 dmg a swing and get him down half way before i die....died twice so far.

 

EDIT: lol i assumed i must have missed picking up my mace somewhere since thats what i shoulda started with, i restarted and BAM there it was lol. dk how i missed it my first time around, but the boss was much easier this time :P

Fight Taurus Demon. He's a meanie. And boy does being a knight with an iron shield help sooooo much. Taking little to no damage while blocking is a life saver especially on the bosses :happy:

Sorry hoof, if I came off as rude, I didn't catch your spoiler. And yeah haha I'm sure the weapon helps a lot. Can't wait to get farther in the game.

 

And Hawke, I'm not far in the game at all yet, but I'm sure that's helpful. I plan on experimenting with the classes a bit more before I get going. I'm currently playing as a Wanderer, and the other classes look great so I may mess around a bit more before I start sticking to my Wanderer.

i went priest. starts at sl2 which is nice. i like starting low.

 

its amazing how boring the game is though, until you know it. im taking a break right now and playing FF13 (im near the end, so its hard to just stop, even for Dark Souls) because honestly, Dark Souls (and Demons Souls too) is boring until you know what your doing and/or get to a big boss fight. the steps in between not as thrilling lol.

 

ill prolly be putting in a few hours here and a few there. instead of just all at once BOOM playing.

Platinum trophy awaits :geek:

FF13 is the epitome of disappointment in what Square Enix has become for me. FF3 was probably one of my favorite games ever, and that was two dimensional. I had such high hopes for FF13, too. But it really was not what I had expected. The battle system is cool, but gets boring. I ended up modding my gamesave and giving myself spectacular equips and stats, and maxing ATB Bars. I preceded to skip past enemies and kill bosses standing in my way, JUST SO I COULD FINISH THE GAME. I just wanted to be done with it. But no- apparently you can't have more than 6 ATB Bars, so if I unlocked another one, the game would freeze during battle. Being too lazy to fix my game save, I just said, fudge this, and decided I was done with the game. But yeah. Sorry to get so off topic. Good luck beating it though.

lol i platinumed Demons Souls...i have to platinum this too. but itll be awhile. liek i said i wanna finish FF13 first. and i wanna play Resistence 3 on superhuman, on campaign coop...ill be putting a few hours here and there into DkS i bet, but i wont rly get into it till next week im guessing.

 

 

in all honesty, it to me, just feels like a ripoff of Demons Souls. they changed enough things for it to be new, but ya. i would just rather have had a Demons Souls 2, set in the same universe, with maybe some returning characters, or appearances/cameos. its like im playing Demons Souls, but its different enough where most of the feel you got in Demons Souls is gone. to me it doesnt FEEL like Demons Souls, it just is like Demons Souls. which bugs me. it even looks so similar but different. like i cant explain it, the graphics seem to be different idk. maybe its cause i played DS for sooooo long and now its like im getting some extra levels to it, but with different mechanics. just kinda lame.

 

ill get used to it lol

I may have to get both :geek:

idk how much longer Demons Souls will be up. they have had like 4803 dates they were gunna shut the servers down. but with it being so popular (more then i think they expected it to be) they kept postponing it, for like 2 years. October is the Demons Souls birthday, so i wouldnt be surprised, especially with Dark Souls out, if you see the servers for DS shut down by the end of the year.

 

DS is fun, but without online play, its a lame duck tbh. i mean even with no coop, there are still no white ghosts, blood stains or messages. :/

Dark Souls is so much harder than Demon's Souls. The only truly hard part of Demon's Souls was the Maneater fight, but this game is just ridiculous. I'm having a bunch of fun, though. I may buy the 400 page hardcover guide since it's fairly cheap and the wikis are no good yet. I know the whole point of the game is to explore, but sometimes it's frustrating which makes it less enjoyable.
