Demon's Souls

Bosses are definitely easier. Killed Dirty Colossus without knowing anything about him. Don't know if it's cos they hadn't responded to people's tactics yet (he is a classic "hide behind him and hit him" souls boss) but I didn't complete any boss in DS without at least a few deaths.

Yep they definitely are easier, did the manhunter 1st time , the old monk ( although.... ) second time , its just getting to them that can be tricky.

I am very much enjoying it though.

Yeah, the normal monsters seem to be pretty tough still. I managed to get through the swamp but that was a bit of a bastard tbh. Especially when you press to roll and stagger instead . Been messing about in Tower of Latria today, that was fine until everything got covered in insects with human faces and those face hugger things can piss off.

I put down my summon to try to help somebody and was suddenly the old monk instead, which I wasn't expecting. Fella got the easiest victory ever

Just beat somebody as old monk. Cloaked myself by the door. Backstabbed him as he came in and then killed him while he was wondering what was going on

Struggling with Maneater though, killed me a couple of times now.

Finished it today. It was really good. The bosses were pretty easy, struggled with Old Monk just cos I'm crap at PvP but nobody else was that tricky. Felt very much like the first time I played DS. I don't think it's as good as that game but probably just cos I already knew what to expect.

43 hours (but I was dicking about improving weapons for ages) and 186 deaths

Well worth the 12 year wait and the 350 quid for the console to play it on

Yeah, I presume there is a way to not kill the king and get a different ending?

Where is The Groke? I miss him.

If he were still here (which he isn’t) I am sure the feeling would be mutual.

I finished this last night. All in all it was really enjoyable. Wasn't too hard once you've levelled up your character a fair bit. Went for a strength build with the knight which was fun. I'm nut sure I can be bothered to play through again with the same character in a + game though. I'd rather try a new character from scratch. I know it's not the Souls way but quite fancy playing through as a caster.

magic users are great fun in ds but It makes the game easier imo
