Just got announced today and from what i read sounds like it's going to be hard.

"Notably, the sources indicate that Dark Souls will be substantially more difficult than Demon's Souls" [MOG]

Dark Souls will be multi platform Xbox 360 people will also get the chance to be owned this time round.

just unplug ur internet.
I am yet to have any invaders. Mainly because I don't use my humanity.
I can't figure out the benefit besides kindling the bonfires...

if you are human..
-you can summon others to help you (plus get invaded)
-supposedly better drop rates? (depends on humanity level)
-not sure if you do more damage...
My thread was better. [Shifty]
Where is the damn strategy guide for this game!?

Released by Future Press it still isn't available here in the UK, are you guys having any troubles getting it?
Not seen it in any shops here but they have every other game around like Rage!

Didn't know there's a printed version. If you happen to get the Limited Edition, there's a download code for the strategy guide for your PC. If not, then look up online guides such as the one from IGN is your best bet.

Yeah theres a hardback edition from Future Press available but try finding it.
The code that came with the Limited Edition gives you 'part' of this guide in pdf format hence 'mini guide'
The guide at IGN seems like it is written by nOObs and is incomplete.
...and some times have the worst strategy mentioned :|
For anyone who is interested but still doesn't have this, I found a gif that pretty much sums up the entire Dark Souls experience...

Wait till you get to sens fortress, traps everywhere. Although I have to say no matter how tough the later levels get I still hate the blighttown swamps more than any other place.
so people with the 360 version help me out, it says that kick is left stick + right bumper but my guy isnt kicking

same goes for jump attack
...what's the game like??? Eg, baldurs gate style, etc...
"hey whats down these stairs"

"oh god the black knight"

"ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod"

then he kills me again before i can pick up my souls

Left Stick Forward + Right Bumper. You cant hold the stick forward you need to tap it with the bumper at the same time.

Kicking things off cliffs = WIN!
enjoying thinking no one is behind me, then i turn around and 3 mobs are chasing me while i battle 2.... those fire bomb throwing mobs are pissing me off ;/

those fire bomb throwing mobs are pissing me off ;/



LOL aint they the most annoying mobs ever!!

Think God of War but on Steroids. Lots of hacking and slashing but used correctly as you have a stamina bar that goes down every time you do an attack or dodge. Stuff can 1 hit you and you die A LOT

It does have some RPG elements such as NPC's to talk to, leveling up and boss fights.

It's not like final fantasy at all, if I had to compare I'd say it's like a 3D Diablo with way more intricate combat and a better story, oh and tonnes harder of course.
Thinking about getting this though I get easily frustrated, is it that hard?

For customization, they have tons of weapons, armors, rings, 3 classes of spells (and tons under each class), various stats to make a completely custom character.
