Hah, nice, my memory held up perfectly. Now as for my attention to detail....

Thanks for the reply. What I meant was how some people said the attacks are independent of your lock on, so you can attack to the left even though you're facing an enemy. Maybe you can disable that?
It keeps delivering.

This has been confirmed as permanent and there is nothing you can do to make them re spawn? I did hear about this, but only from people who haven't explored the full game.

Hey everyone, here is some footage of Demon's Souls from when I played a few days ago. The location is Stonefang tunnel, the place the Souls lightbulb went on inside my brain where I said, "this it, this is the game I was waiting for!"
Hope it helps keep those of us avoiding spoilers preoccupied, and for those who never tried Demon's or didn't figure out world tendency etc. this vid may help. I will try to get more vids up as I have about five hours of footage, that magically appeared on my hard drive while I was fooling around trying to get my avermedia card set up and working.

These are desperate times and content like this does help a lot. Thanks!
I've finished demons and dark, but it's good to see some original souls related stuff either way.
Are they complaining about the same stuff that we've been discussing for weeks? Respeccing, bonfire warping right from the start and so on?
There is a finite item that you can use. The finite part makes it still shit.
what are the complaining about?
At this point I am uninterested in more complaints over accessibility until I've played the game long enough to have my own opinion on the matter. We've already hashed out respec & warp from start for many pages each and with the game so close and the core challenge still present, we know they've made a real Souls game, just one that is again different in flavor that DeS and DkS and it's going to be really hard to know how that difference really plays out until we've played the game for a lot of hours.
I have only seen people saying it's actually harder, but I've been avoiding reddit and spoiler threads. No one has come to this thread to say it's easier, have they?
You can
respec 3 times if you find 3 soulvessels.
I still don't know how respec works,though

I literary didn't find anyone who is not complaining about the much easier bossfights so far.
heh, cool I've been watching it. Nice vid. I need to get back to Demon's Souls at some point.

No way dude from what I have seen the boss fights are just as hard as the first dark souls.
I don't know who to believe anymore. The most wise thing now is waiting for the release and judging myself, something that probably i should have done from the beginning.
Seems like it depends on who's playing, and what tactics they normally use. That Kenneth guy seemed to have a hard time with a particular boss but he made a lot of dumb mistakes.

well we have known this for quite some time:
1) Respeccing
2) Bonfire warping
3) Health items
Yep real desperate....especially when Jeff Green goes out and gets Diablo to tie himself over instead of streaming his final Dark Souls run for us. :0
Thanks!

Kind of what I was expecting unfortunately. It just looks like a much faster halberd with a third of the range.
(Not that it doesn't look great or anything, just was hoping it wouldn't be exactly that.)
Is it confirmed whether or not they will have stat comparisons for kills and deaths? Would probably be cool for PvP.
Maybe something for deaths per new game?

For anyone who has played or been spoiled to death.. Are there any Bed of chaos, ceaseless discharge level crappy bosses?
You can spoiler tag if the answer would bother people.

It honestly seems like they've gone too far the other way. Like they heard everyone saying how great Artorias was and just made loads of the bosses like that.
i have heard that there are no bed of chaos/ dragon god style puzzle bosses. Ceaseless is beatable without the falling trick, so I dunno if there are any like that where there is an optional method to kill them fast.
I'm pretty sure that From has said that the death counts will be tracked in some kind of accessible log. Not sure the details, I'm sure someone knows what they said exactly. But it's cool I think to do that, so you can see just how it adds up.

I hope the early game doesn't have anything as hard as the Capra Demon.

Haha, I hope it does. Capra wasn't all that bad.
Lol I never understood why people have such a hard time with Capra Demon. I killed him I think pretty easily on my second try. But I'm a careful shield user, and that is one instance in a game where having a shield will do you a lot of good.
Capra's my favorite early game boss. It seems impossible/luck based at first but I have now killed him first try with at least four different strategies and builds. Aural decoy, magic shield, running right at him as you go through the door so he doesn't do the jump attack, rolling to the right to hide behind the columns to take care of the dogs... It's a brilliant bit of design in that it just feels unfair or brutal at first but there's really a wide variety of viable strategies to make it consistently manageable.

Probably because if the dogs RNG isn't in your favor you get cornered and ganked within 5 seconds of entering the arena.

I loved it when people got stuck at the graveyard section in dark souls. So early in the game as well!
Also the people who are playing the game right now are playing offline and they don't have to deal with invasions so even with life gems the game may be a lot more balanced when you play online.
As long as you act as decisively and aggressively as the Capra demon you will be fine. Or if you use aural decoy (they will all change direction mid attack) or hidden body or fog ring or slumbering dragon crest (isn't there a walk silently spell as well? I can't quite remember), the dogs will ignore you at first and you can get to the stairs ASAP.
My strategy was just to strafe around the room in a circle, all the while separating the dogs one by one and taking them out. Doing that was fairly standard fare really, the only issue is the tight quarters. Really, Capra Demon is only tough on first encounter because of the surprise. After that though he was pretty easy to me.
It really would be interesting to see how far you've progressed. I remember dying all the time in my first run through of the game.
I remember getting destroyed by him. However that was mostly due to me not thinking
to kill the dogs first and then focusing on fighting him. After that though it was just a matter of dodging
his attacks and then promptly going berserk on him. I really wouldn't mind another fight like his.
Felt great when I beat him. Feels better now that I can destroy him.

I ordered a CE from Amazon and there isn't even an estimated delivery date. How long do you guys think I'll be waiting? I'm scared!
