I couldn't take it anymore and really wanted to see what this game had to offer. At this time of posting i have defeated the first boss, i wouldn't know his name but it looks like a big pudding like demon.
 
First thing i noticed when clearing to the first boss is that you as a player need ALLOT of patience! Lucky for me i have allot of patience when it comes to games i like, but i also think it's the learning curve and the n00b like behavior that's killing me 90% of the time.
 
My first impression of this game is actually really good! I can't explain but this games has a special attraction to it... The plan was to play this game en decide within 48 hours to keep it or return it to the store. At the moment i think it's a keeper! The way this game plays is just awesome, I can't think of a better control scheme than Demon Soul's already has. Everything reacts pretty fast and accurate. I like that for a chance instead of controls that control poorly like in other hack & slash/rpg's.
 
The stats of this games are how to put this? Well really deep i would say. Now I'm no RPG veteran like many other so most of these stats are like Chinese for me... Do i know what's important? I think not :P I took a magician as my first character and i know from my WoW history and other side rpg's that i probably need to put my souls in to mana and magic, as for the rest i have to find out i guess.
 
Well i think this is the end of my first post about my new addition, just wanted to put my first thought about Demon's Souls. Check back to check out my progression in this epic journey of death :P

I wish I was back to the point where I dont know the levels well. Man I love this game.

Wait until you get to the second boss in World 1. That guy's a pain to kill. The first time I saw him I had no idea what to do, so I just ran around until he killed me with one hit.

" @InfiniteStateMachine:  I wouldn't know :P I'm still like OMG at every corner haha. How many times did you like finish it because that's telling me it's totally worth it :D "

Good luck - here's some advice: don't use a faq or any of that nature. It will make the game much easier to know a trick or two, but it removes the point of the game: the great feeling of defeating a difficult level.

I know a way of killing the dragon,. if you want I'll tell you. oh and he's not the boss btw.

Good luck,

" Good luck,  
 
@onarum: There's a fucking dragon!?   I got up to the boss that does stuff and I said to myself fuck this game.   "

" @onarum:  Delete your comment I've put mine in spoilers tag,  "

Well now i am getting curious :D Gonna check that right now, time to get pwned i would say :P

 I really want them to do an ER of this game, I want to see a grown man cry,  "

" @Gamebite: Maybe I should start being more impulsive. Too bad games are awfully expensive around here. It's better to import them and that takes some time. "

@onarum:  
Try this store. It is British and sell in pounds, which are more expensive than the dollar, but after the conversion it is usually cheaper than buying through eBay. And the transport fees are always cheap.  
 
Several of my friends have bought from it without problem. I'm gonna look for this game there.

Heh, if the deadly premonition one wasn't the end of all ERs this one would definitely be, it would be awesome tough.  But the reason I don't think a game like this would be a good candidate is because there's a fair amount of grinding involved. "

 Really? In my experience, the only reason peoplle "grind" DS is to get the trophies or get another weapon for pvp.  And that is really more farming than grinding.I guess there are those who do actual level grinding, but for a regular playthrough it really isnt a requirement. In any case, it would be over after one episode of 4-2 reaper sniping which could be funny in itself.  What am I missing? "

you are going to be playing for a very, very long time.  if you have the patience to actually beat the game, serious kudos

I just started playing yesterday.  Really enjoying the combat.  My favorite thing, though, is the blood stains.  Every one i've watched was someone charging into a room with crossbows or running up a staircase with a boulder at the top.  It's funny until i realize someone is going to see me walking up to some explosives (thinking "these look like explosives") then blowing up when a firebomb is thrown.
