Dark Souls, Demon's Souls successor Options

So yeah, From Software has revealed "Project Dark" as Dark Souls, which is officially NOT Demon's Souls 2... But we all know it is.



As much as I fucking rage and hate Demon's Souls, I always said I'd gladly play a sequel. This looks damn good, if not just as brutal as its forbearer. Word is they actually have "normal" co-op now too, you can play with your friends, not just random dicks. The world is more open and focused on exploration, and its now multiplatform.

After about 20 hours of play, and lol, not even scratched the surface (according to reading the forums), I understand what you guys are saying here. I've gotten used to it and actually look for anything I can exploit. A new thing I noticed is the framerate dips below 30 even to sub 20; where it is like a slide show. My eyes have adjusted to the blurriness of the game, but the performance is really bad. I guess that is why the graphics are not better, hard to maintain a decent framerate and still have an open world with 256 mb of video ram. . . Does not hinder combat, but I am spoiled with high-end PC gaming. I like constant smooth framerate.

But man I was up playing all freaking night until noon time when I finally rang the first bell. OMG was it so satisfying when I finally did it because it took a lot of work and death to do. And I hear this part of the game is the easy stuff from what vet Demon's Souls. I got lucky bit later on though because someone invaded me and I managed to kill him, he dropped over 12k souls. I was able to level up by a lot and upgraded a ton of gear. I can now take on most anything encountered so far without much trouble unless I am at a part where the designers are just trolling lol.


This game is excellent though. I am actually enjoying this more than Deus Ex, at the top for GOTY for me. If this game keeps it up I can see it stealing Deus Ex's spot. I am already anticipating playing New Game+ in Dark Souls after I beat it. Whereas Deus Ex did not care so much for playing again.
