lol I played demons souls...but dark souls is wayyyy more unforgiving.

Checkpoints respawn all the enemies u killed (if u make use of the checkpoint).

I would advice people to think before buying this game, cuz its evil.

Though I have to admit I am enjoying it 100%

Whoever that is playing it is treating the combat like an action game, VERY big mistake.
Thats practically rule #1 of the "Souls series".

That's no different from how Demon Souls did it..

Well, first, I did not play Demon's Souls much last year, lack of time (and motivation tbh). I just completed a few "levels" and beat a few bosses before I turned to other games.

Then, I had four games to take care of this week end, for a total of 16 videos to edit and upload. You can easily imagine that did not leave me much time to improve my Souls skills. :)

So sorry about the way I play, I did the best I could. now I just hope I did not do such a poor job in the other vids. :D

Oh then I am sorry.

But dont treat it like a action game and go all in for the attack.
Check the enemy patterns and use your shield and roll alot.

Do like 2-3 attacks and retreat, especially with the low stamina you got.

I for one thought you did play Demons Souls, but if you didnt then its perfectly understandable considering thats what I did as well when I got it lol

Uhm no, DS had no bonfire checkpoints that reset enemies whenever u choose to use them.

Perhap u mean that DS resets enemies whenever u died? Yes thats true but it didn't give you any choice 2 reset the enemies while alive.

The bonfires present you with 2 choices:

-Receive a checkpoint, Heal and reset enemies.
-Don't use them and everything you killed until then stays dead BUT if you die, u'll be spawned wayyy back to ur previous checkpoint. (and end up killing the enemies again)

Its evil I tell ya.

sounds like the keystones in demons souls to me. only instead of being transported to the nexus you simply rest at a campfire. they work the same way, and are just as punishing as each other, since both methods reset the enemies in the level.

i hope so, didn't find Demon's Souls as difficult as everyone (ok, at least those who haven't been to videogaming for very long ^^) says

Dark Souls definitely looks nice, will be fun :)

I wasn't talking about the bonfires, I was talking about the enemies being reset when:

A. you die
or
B. You go back to the Nexus (which basically is gone now but replaced by these bonfires. They're just like the level stones in DS)

How the hell did you "beat a few bosses" and not play it much? i had to grind like hell to get anywhere in that game (still am)

I don't consider that playing a few hours is much when talking about such a game. I also had to grind a bit, especially the first level, but I got to beat the first boss as well as another one in the caves or something. I also took out a dragon and then I stopped playing. So I would not consider myself a pro at all. That's pretty much why I do not play Dark Souls as well as I should.

I knew someone would like it. ^^

Let's say, the first thing that went through my head was "get out of here". And when I realized I was stuck there, the second thing that went through my head was that giant axe. :/
