I loved Demon Souls. You know, I beat my first playthrough without sprinting... I shit you not. I had no idea you could sprint until my 2nd playthrough when I accidently sprinted... I was like, "What the hell did I just do?"...

Anyway, great game, and I'm really looking forward to this one.

epic Dev pimp slap to players that got a copy of the game prior to release date:


Dark Souls isn't meant to be out until September 22 in Japan. That didn't stop certain retailers from selling it early anyway and now, unfortunately for those who purchased the game and are already playing it, a nasty surprise awaits early palyers.

According to Esuteru (and translated by Edge), developer From Software is systematically murdering those playing the game early. The game allows for players to invade the world of other players and kill them. So what From has done is take a max-level (145) character with 1900HP and abilities maxed out at 99 and sent it out to attack players.



It's a guaranteed death for any player who run into it; even with 60 hours played

that is one of the coolest Dev moves I've heard about. Ranks right up there with the Devs who leaked their own game to the torrent sites but made it so if you're playing a pirated version your characters have pirate hats on

If only they'd do something similar to all the CoD hacks.

Oh man that sucks but funny at the same time and I really hated the black phantoms in demons souls
