    From Kotaku
    From Software's Demon's Souls is heading West, with Japanese role-playing game specialists Atlus picking up the slack for North American PlayStation 3 publishing duties. The action RPG, already released in Japan, will arrive this Fall.

    [soure]

    I guess you'll still be importing but there will be a higher chance of a copy now. Smart move by Atlus as the game is already in English.

    I really think Atlus are my favourite publisher/developer, they bring such great niche stuff over and I've fallen for the Shin Megami Tensei games as well.

    can the game be paused and saved?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,702 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    The game can't be paused due to the online nature of the game and it only saves what changes you made to the level automatically. You start at the beginning of the level each time but you open up shortcuts in the levels that make the journey shorter each time and there's a checkpoint after each boss. It saves those automatically.

    looks a sweet game... whats the best site to order this game from? - i've never imported a game :/


  • Registered Users Posts: 730 ✭✭✭Hygro


    Doh, I never realised that that gate I opened up during the first level would still be open when I went back!!! Cheers for the heads up, it's a pain in the hole getting done over and losing all your souls back at the nexus and having to fight through all those same enemies again. I've had a lot of my messages rated though ... which I guess is good.

    The thief is quite good if anyone hasn't tried that class yet, it's what I'm playing as.

    Definately like an FF game, really slow and tough to start with but once you get thw eight weapons and level up, its not as tough. Killed nine demons so far and the red dragon, plus the guy who handed you your ass at the start. i highly recommend sticking with the winged spear, keep all moonstones and upgrade it to the moon winged spear, also get the compound bow in 4-1 and upgrade it to the max, i'm taking on 3 red eyed knights at the moment with these and a purple flame shield +8 with no problems. Have'nt really bothered with magic, except total protection every now and then. You'll rescue 2 guys who will sell some good magic\miracles. Alot of the bosses are quiet handy by just using the bow and arrow and staying well away.

    mine came on a friday


  • Registered Users Posts: 730 ✭✭✭Hygro


    Am I right in saying that the only place you can buy firebombs is from that guy who's in that litlle building, hiding from battle? Halfway through the first level? I think I need a good few of them to kill that big blobby thing that has lots of other blobby things protecting it. Phalanx or whatever it's called.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,702 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Blobby thing isn't all that tough really.
    Get behind the small blobby things and you will do damage to the blobby things. Make sure you only go for the ones that have been thinned out. You need to take all the small blobby things out before you can damage the main blob who is a breeze.

    I wasted all my firebombs and the stuff that lights up your weapons on my first try but beat him without them afterwards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    Anyone find anything definitive on the world tendencies, i've just got the false king and the final dude to go. There's places\weapons on everyone of the levels i cannot get to(in particular that gate by the very first bit and the big blocked sword by the dragon god), purely because of the worlds tendency, i need pure white.

    You need to do some co-op work to get your world tendency up to pure white i think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 53,758 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Iv to really recommend this game,superb game


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,033 ✭✭✭Niall0


    Thinking of getting this, whats the combat like?
    Is there any disadvantage to buying the hong kong or whatever version?
    Whats the best version to get?
    Wheres the best place to get it?

    Thanks


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,702 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Check out the wiki for places to buy it from. Make sure you get the asian version not the japanese version since thats the one that's completely in english including the manual. There's an american version out soon but there's no point in waiting but if you want to it's being published by atlus so don't wait around to buy it, Atlus games sell out quick and they hardly ever reprint.

    The combat might look like diablo but it's nothing like it, it's completely skill based. It's like a much slower paced Devil May Cry.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    Does getting the Hong Kong version mean that you only see the ghosts of former players from that region?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,702 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    The servers seem to be worldwide at the moment and the messages left are built out of predetermined phrases so there's no language barrier.

    Heh, 1% skill and about 150 arrows. The only ones i had to get in close with were the phalanx, man eater, fire dude and the false king. False king is tough alright, he's the only one i've left, so i'm just leveling up like a mofo at the moment.

    For the white world tendancies, the best thing to do is, everytime you kill a boss and get your soul back, go back to the nexus and kill yourself with a fall. dieing in full form takes away from the white world tendancy. Killing a boss adds 1. Kill all 3 while in soul form and you should have a white world tendancy. to get black, quickest way is to keep dieing in whole life form, use stone of Ephemeral Eyes to revive and repeat. In pure white you'll need to die 7 times to get pure black. There's enough eyes, i got around 50 so far.

    Pure black is handy for rare weapons from the black phantoms, namely the talisman of beast(can use magic and miracles with no side affects). And primeevil demons which drop rare souls, colorless demons soul etc. Pure White unlocks some paths, namely the gate at the start of boletarian(pure back opens it as well) and it unblocks a powerful sword in 2-3 after defeating the dragon god.

    BTW do not be tempted to use meltstone, it cost me my Quality compound long bow +5. Its stronger than the white bow. BTW buy as much heavy arrows as possible of the hyena dude.

    Game just arrived in the post there yesterday.

    Perhaps I picked the wrong class but already I keep dying on the first level. I'm a Knight, is there a better class to start with for a beginner?

    I can understand the point behind the lack of a pause feature but it's an absolute pain if the phone rings or I need to get up for a minute to do something, especially if I'm being chased down by another knight.

    Also, If I attack someone in the Nexus how do I stop them from attacking me every time I go back into the Nexus?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,702 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Keep at it, it took me ages to get past the first level but it's do able. It's like an old school 16-bit game, you think you aren't making progress but you are getting a little bit further each time. As for your problem in the nexus, haven't a clue.

    Yeah I usually like to test the water to see what I can get away with, so the first guy I had to talk to in the Nexus I attacked, and he started attacking me back. Then every time I died and came back to the nexus he would still attack me meaning I could never talk to him. As it was at the start I decided to just restart the game.

    I was just wondering if there was a way of stopping them from attacking you.
