Dark Souls
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Sep 22, 2011
A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.
Ready To Die For Dark Souls?
The people with the personality type to enjoy this series should apply that patience, work ethic and never quit attitude to things like scaling Everest, curing cancer and fixing Sony security.
After playing Demon's Souls I think anyone that can finish that game and love it can do anything, ANYTHING, they want.
Demon's Souls is one of the greatest games I've played this generation. Few games bring such a range of emotion and accomplishment as Demon's Souls did. I am very pumped for this game.
Funny. I finished Demon's Souls and loved it and can't for the life of me get past a single encounter in the original Gears of War without getting killed at least once.After playing Demon's Souls I think anyone that can finish that game and love it can do anything, ANYTHING, they want.
I really want to and everything :(
Speaking of Dark Souls though, I'm really worried that they are going to make this unfairly hard, instead of "Use your shield, don't be an idiot" hard. The first game wasn't marketed with stuff like "Prepare to die" and didn't have interviews with the developers saying how they are going to make a really hard game. It just happened to have an above average difficulty level.
With Dark Souls though, all I ever hear about this game is how they made it real hard
It totally feels like they went "People found it hard and then liked it? Well, let's put Super Meat Boy level design in the sequel then! Special for them!"
Are you prepared for Dark Souls? Because Dark Souls is prepared for you, and it'll tear you a new asshole.
Don't go Ninja Gaiden II on us Dark Souls! NGII was a great game, but it was really cheap in certain places.
@Ventilaator: Hopefully, it'll just come down to a greater variety of traps i.e. ways to die. Difficulty wise Demon's Souls was fine like it was, I think.I agree with that, but the game developers don't
"Prepare to Die."
"A lot."
"No, seriously. Order in."
And, multi-platform release programmed by 2 different companies? Has that ever happened before?
I can't say I'm too hyped for Dark Souls, but I will buy it, play it, and probably enjoy it. I'm just a little concerned that it will be too much like Demon's Souls (ie exactly the same as), I don't think Demon's Souls is without faults, and to say "here is more of the same" and not talk about improvements (specifically tutorial and narrative wise) just seems off to me.
What this really needs is a good way to play coop with a buddy. Demons' Souls you had to go through so many hoops to try and play 2 player with a friend that it just wasn't worth it. The game actively dissuaded trying to play with a buddy.
Other then that, I loved Demons' souls, will probably love this too.

Lawl... I am on my fifth playthrough on my second character >.< Muahahahahahahahah and im starting a third!
The real Dark Souls' begins now!
Aaaah, how I have waited for this; how I have spent many nights replaying Demon's Souls, over and over again, teaching other players just how annoying a vicious enemy can be when he can rust your equipment with spells.. Yees..
Finally a chance to be sadistic and masochistic, all at once, all over again!
How about we stop talking about how bad Dark Souls is gonna kick out asses and start talking about HOW BAD WE'RE GONNA KICK DARK SOULS' ASS!!!
