I traded in my false idol soul to Sage Freke for Soul Ray " so you rescued Sage Freke? how hard is that to do?  I have been holding off on Tower of Latria, going back and forth between the first level of Shrine of Storms and Boletaria Palace 1-3. both those levels are hard as sh*t, i keep ...

OK before this thread gets hijacked into reflex strategy vs. order of battle strategy let's talk a step back from the abyss :)  Demon's Souls vs. Dragon Age? as many have said, these games are so different it's difficult to compare  demon's souls is the most exciting 3rd person action game i have ever played. this game gives you visceral highs and lows like nothing else. you actually feel the ...

he has two dangerous attack patterns, the charge and the 'splosion  watch out for his charge, dodge out of the way and strike from behind. don't let him pin you in a corner  the 'splosion deals damage to everything around him in a 360 degrees. but range is short. you can do a dodge, get out of the way, and then strike back.  he also does a melee attack but ...

@DonPixel: i think all the things Destructoid points out are true -- especially the fact that enemies sense you telepathically and attack with pinpoint accuracy -- but i still think it's quite fun. I didn't go into that game expecting to be an unstoppable killing machine; just have fun with the movement and combat. it's definitely enjoyable

The dragon age commercial presents his spitting image at 12-13 seconds in   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-JYMWtjtxU   for Baldur's Gate!

That's kind of depressing. What an awesome game. " Yeah that's another thing i love about this game -- TOTAL IMMERSION in a bleak world of despair. I love when the Woman in Black tells you ...

The Royal is a great class to play for less experienced players. The Soul Arrow ranged attack makes the first level a breeze.  Starting equipment is also crazy stacked in your favor -- almost unbalanced.  You get a Rapier and the Fragrant Ring which automatically restores MP's. On paper it seems like they have the best starting equipment in the game.  As you level up you are free to develop ...

dude i tried to "follow" you but the link was broke we should trade more tips about demons souls! :)

is this hillarious or what?! not only is the guy a dick for invading my world but his PSN handle even says so  after an EPIC battle i lost :(  what i learned: 1) be aggressive in PvP, don't let them runaway and heal 2) should have summoned a blue phantom for backup 3) hand of god is a nice weapon but why can't it hit something after you knock ...

one thing to try to do while using fist weapons is after a knock down, immediatly get behind them and try to land a back punch right when they get up.  And yeah, one-use revival is a far better "healing" spell to have than actually chopping on herbs.  Too bad I went with anti-magic field in my first play through :\

@Gylfi: yes! i love the "weight" of this game....the sense of accomplishment is a great reward for the difficulty

@Atlas: there are certain items and NPC's that only appear in pure black world tendency -- it could be fun just  to explore places you've already cleared and look for new sh*t  thank you deluxe edition strategy guide!

this is so freakin' awesome:    An ominous warning from Atlus indicates that online players of Demon's Souls for the PlayStation 3 will find the Demon's minions much more powerful on All Hallow's Eve. The Kingdom of Boletaria is a pretty dark place, so reports of it growing darker over the Halloween weekend are disturbing to say the least. According to Atlus' Aram Jabbari, the tricks are getting tougher, but ...

Too late........I posted this already.

@aliss: and the winner was..........INFAMOUS!  Borat says -- Great Success :D

hmm, no response for Borderlands, interesting.........  it's a toss up between InFamous and Batman!

i got Arkham Asylum; InFamous; and Borderlands in best buy's buy 2 get 1 free sale.*   which one should i start first?   *uncharted2 = SOLD OUT

I'd say Batman first due to the longevity, it's not the longest, then Infamous, as it's replayable however it's pretty short for that type of game, but still a fair length to get your teeth into, side quests aren't a chore to do either. I'd finish up with borderlands, partly because it's probably going to take the most time up, but also because I still think it needs a little ...
