I finally have beaten Demon's Souls, at first, I was happy. But then I started new game +, and you know what happened? I lost 300,000 souls in 1-1. And to top it off, I lost these souls trying to get the colorless soul near Miralda. So no, I didn't get beaten by enemies. Twice..in a row, I fell off the beams.

oh man.

I want to try out this game sometime but I feel like it would end up with my breaking something :/
 
Grats on beating it though :)

Oh so that's what's on those beams. I was trying for a full five minutes for that and just gave up.

What ending did you choose?

My mind converts the ocular viewing of 'playing Demon's Souls' to 'pounding nails into my dick'

The one thing probably being the most horribly painful experience a man could ever think of, the other: pounding nails into your dick. "

I still want to go back and finish Demon's Souls...

Since my dude takes a step forward when attacking, I've fallen of ledges accidentally. This is especially true when I am locked on a flying enemy.

Yeah, I got it about 3 weeks ago and played through it in ~30 hours with no problems, I was expecting to rage as much as I do on FPS multiplayer.  I never raged once.  Also, sucks that you lost that many souls, I would rage then.  I missed that colorless Demon's Soul my first play through though, so that sucked :( "

cool

NG+ is pretty nail bitingly hard. 
 
Not that it's impossible... I'm just stalling around where I need to fight the false king. Hate that guy.

Welcome to Demon's Souls.
 
I've lost upwards of 650k. You just need to deal with it.
 
What build are you playing?

Beat world 4, and 300k will seem like nothing to you. That place is amazing for grinding.

" @CL60: what build is that? "

Yeah. Well at least I got it! I just died getting down. Then I died trying to get to my blood stain again. I'm pretty angry at losing 300k souls. "

i have bought demon's souls but im at a loss at this game. I started a character the strategy guide suggested ( royalty ) but im at a huge loss. I managed to beat 2 worlds but im always at a loss. At which world should i go? what weapons should i use? is my level ok? where the fuck do i spend my stats. I was playing royalty in 4-1 and i killed everything with 2 spells. Then i relaized i was doing huge melee damage aswell. But then i died in like 2 hits.
I deleted that character and i want to start fresh this time. Thinking of going templar knight. Hopefully it will be better this time. Any advice concerning the game is welcome. The guild in the EU edition is shit, no offense to the guys that wrote it. It pretty much is a base of a guild but with no help in it.

Why would you start another playthrough?
 
I'm serious. As I've understood it, the only thing that's different in New Game+ is that the enemies' stats are higher, and since virtually all enemies killed you (well, at least me) with no more than (but often less than) 2 hits, the only real difference is that they take longer to kill. The sense of exploration and discovery is gone since you've already been there and done that, and you can never again experience the satisfaction of finally coming up with a strategy to get past that one fucking part you just kept dying on. 
 
So why?

I managed to do it flawlessly my first time. Not because I'm good, but because there happened to be about 4 different markers laid down that said, "Take a step forward," all in the right spots. The last drop was the trickiest. It wasn't until my fourth-or-so time through (not new game++++, just 4 different characters/playthroughs) that I died twice on it. I also had a lot of souls. Sucks. The worst part is when you get down there and realize you don't have enough room for the Brushwood armor, so you have to drop about a hundred grasses and other miscellaneous crap. Well, unless you have the Ring of Herculean Strength. "

" @CL60: can you please explain this build? "

I started a new playthrough because I want to platinum this game. Will probably take me a very long time.

As for a strengh build to be more specific...  
 
1: All builds are pvp builds, pve/just beating the game does not require "a build" to be successful so if you don't pvp your build is meaningless.
 2: Str build for level 120 (the popular optimum pvp level) is 40 endurance, minimum 40 vitality, minimum 40 str, 10 magic, enough faith to have 2 miracle slots, enough intelligence to have 3 spell slots, and as little luck and dex as humanly possible.
3: Gear uh this is sort of up in the air but you want crushing +5 weapons and or a +5 Dragon Bone Smasher.  Popular crushing weapons are Great Swords, Great Axes, Knight Swords, Mirdan Hammers, and Claymores.  A interesting alternative is fist weapons, they actually can be nasty if you use them right.
4: You will want some kind of shield "just in case"  Most prefer a +5 Dark Silver, +10 Purple Flame, +10 Knight Shield, +10 Steel Shield, or a +5 Brushwood.  +5 Adjudicator can be good to wear on your back since you almost always two hand your weapons anyway since it gives you some hp regen.  On the same Token wearing a Morion Blade on your back is also a nice way to get easy mode hyper damage.
 5: Rings, you want a friends ring or a foe ring depending on if you are a bp or blue, your other ring should always be a cling ring to get max possible HP in soul form.  If you are playing in body form use whatever you want, a clever rats is always handy though and a that ring doran drops (sorry name escapes me at the moment) can be handy.  With 40 end you really should not need the equip weight ring, just wear light armor, or no shirt, whatever it takes to stay under.   Even with the DBS you should have plenty of room for gear.

Congrats, surprised you picked the good ending, as people seem to really favor the bad ending, I think because of the curb stomp. But I chose the good ending regardless. I want to go again through it, but I really really didn't like Latria. I felt so miserable playing through it. Condolences on your fall.

Took you long enough BOOM!!
