Double dip awwww yeahhhhhhh

[inky]

Glad I waited now, and in time for my b-day. Fuck yes!

[Zeliard]

I loved the False Allant fight from Demon's Souls. Out of every boss across the Souls games, that one has to be my favorite, outside of perhaps the Old Monk.

[Derrick01]

Tower Knight was incredibly easy. It was a stupid fight.

Was that the huge guy in the first world? That guy was 1 of the 4 I beat without dying so if he is then I agree with you! :p

[Dash Kappei]

So happy :'-)

Gotta sell my PS3 copy stat!

[Raw64life]

Oh my. I've only double dipped on games a handful of times ever but I might have to here. Just the thought of 60 FPS Blighttown....

[Coin Return]

I tried to play it then but the 10 fps killed it for me.

You are weak of spirit.

[astroturfing]

WHAT NEW BOSSES`?????

This. Demons Souls has better bosses. False King, Flamelurker, Tower Knight, Penetrator are all awesome beyond proportion. Plus, that atmosphere in Maiden Astraia boss fight, it just cant get more epic than that

Dark Souls does have equally memorable bosses IMO.. Gaping Dragon (dont say it was too easy, Tower Knight was even easier), Queelag, Sif, Smough & Ornstein, Nito, Gwyn.. loved all of them. absolutely brilliant stuff, i think From Software just cant fail with bosses as far as im concerned heh.

[gnomed]

Sweeet! Woke up to beautiful news today.

[Zeliard]

Was that the huge guy in the first world? That guy was 1 of the 4 I beat without dying so if he is then I agree with you! :p

I'm gonna guess one of the others was Adjudicator - the big fat guy with the axe in 4-1. :P

[Schweinehund]

Will be great.

I need gamepad though :(.

My favorite fight was Allant as a sword/shield strength character. Felt like there was a pattern to him. In comparison to Gwyn who just mercilessly beat you down and you had to roll or parry constantly, or just use iron flesh.

My favorite from Dark Souls was Sif. Love that fight.

Least favorite is Smough/Ornstein, literally the hardest fight in the game, atleast on my melee characters (wasn't too bad on my pyro). Ceasless discharge gets runner up, just the dumbest fight where I still don't have a clue whats going on.

edit: Solo on all the bosses. I'm almost 100% sure that they designed smough and ornstein to be done with one other person. Having both of them on you is just way too much.

[Setero]

Awesome news, any word on mod support?

[strafer]

PC once again shows its superiority.

[genjiZERO]

This. Demons Souls has better bosses. False King, Flamelurker, Tower Knight, Penetrator are all awesome beyond proportion. Plus, that atmosphere in Maiden Astraia boss fight, it just cant get more epic than that

I'm in agreement here. Towards the end of the game the Bosses in Dark Souls were very easy to kill. Overall I think I enjoyed the fights in Demon's Souls better.

[ponpo]

15 pages in a morning, wao.

New bosses, I wonder. I'm going to hope / assume they heard my prayers for a boss at Ash Lake so we can PvP there. I just want to summon people and stare at the beauty together ;_;

[Risk Breaker]

Stray demon easy? *Fall down, get smashed the second you land, repeat and hope this doesn't happen*.

Yeah, that's what happens the first 5-10 times haha. But apart from that, when you know what you have to do, Stray Demon/Demon Firesage can barely scratch you. The same happens with Gaping Dragon.

I'm not saying that you can't die because, as with almost everything on these games, if you lose your focus for a few seconds you are dead unless you are too overpowered, but Stray Demon is the perfect example of a predictable boss fight that can't do anything to you if you use the right tactics.

Hell, I wouldn't say Seath was hard either, but I still died a ton because after having missed a lot of tail-weapons I wanted to chop off his. After I managed to do that, the actual boss fight seemed a little too easy, and I don't see him being mentioned too often on these discussions for some reason.

[Imp the Dimp]

1000/1000ed it on Xbox 360 and regret it now. Will definitely double dip.

[Derrick01]

I'm gonna guess one of the others was Adjudicator - the big fat guy with the axe in 4-1. :P

Nah I don't even think I went to the 4th one at all. The 4 I beat (sorry I don't remember names) was the first blob dude in the very first level, the giant guy in the next one, the big spider thing and some girl/maiden in a church. I came close to dying a few times on those last 2 but I had plenty of healing items.

I also beat that optional dragon in the first world, it took like 40 minutes of me shooting arrows at it though lol.

[Zeliard]

I was disappointed in the Nito fight in particular. For such a great visual design, he should have been a total motherfucker to beat, but he ended up one of the easier fights in the game. Felt like a waste of brilliant visual design. :/ Especially since he's also one of the final four guardian bosses.

[Jtrizzy]

I see I got beaten to the Jeff Green cameo joke. Expected news about the controller support. Which developer would be so braindead stupid to remove the existing controller support that's already in the original game? hahaha

Surely no one would do anything that stupid.

Aw that's too bad, if you had no problems with Tower Knight you would have wrecked Adjudicator. He follows a similar concept in terms of strategy.

Dark Souls bosses are about killing them quickly or be killed; nito, 4 kings, s and o, all are like that

Demons Souls bosses are not like that, each party circle the other, size their opponents up. It totally add to the atmosphere of the battle

Fuck Nito, I lost so many souls on that fucker because of his unkillable fucking giant minions and his underground ass raping spike, fuck that guy.

Yeah, hit it until it dies.

Seath was a boss thats easier the first time you meet him, since he goes into a long stun after you break the crystal. But if you die and fight him again, its much harder since sometimes he LOVES to spam his smash everything with my 3 tentacles attack where you get up just to get knocked down again.

[oracrest]

Can't wait!

I'll buy it for sure with new content.

[mesmerMAN]

my nipples got hard when i found out

[Zeth]

I'd give my soul to /noclip fly through the world just to see the massive interconnectedness from a different perspective than my tiny worthless humanoid self.

[UrbanRats]

Nope. Both had fairly easy bosses, but Demons Souls had Flame Lurker and False King so it wins by default.

Uhm, i'm a shit player, but going through DeS felt a bit easier.
From the top of my head:

Phalanx was pretty easy.
Tower Knight was pretty though.
Penetrator was also not that hard with help from the dude you save earlier (forgot the name).
False King was a nightmare, nothing against him, lol.
-
Armored Spider had the fire blast that could trick you the first time, but aside from that, it wasn't that hard.
Flame Lurker was a motherfucker, but constantly got stuck in shit (thank god, cause i was shitting myself).
Dragon God is basically a puzzle.
-
False Idol was tricky, but if you stayed behind the columns with Thief Ring, she was doable.
Man Eater was nightmare fuel for me, goddamnit.
Old Monk also was a pain in the ass.
-
Adjudicator never hit me (melee) i stayed on his left, wacking away and i was done quick.
Old Hero, with Thief Ring, also never hit me once, a joke boss.
Storm King was hardly a boss fight (maybe i was lucky though).
-
Leech monger and Dirty Colossus were annoying, but there wasn't that much strategy involved, so eventually i just wacked them away.
Garl Vinland also got constantly stuck on shit, so it was fairly easy.

Dark Souls also had some piss easy Bosses (Gaping) but i can remember much more infuriating stuff (Sif, Nito, Four Kings, Seth, Smough&Ornstein, Capra) mainly because of the estus flasks (can't stock up on those), and because of tricky side effects (curse with Seth, unkillable skeletons with Nito, Dog with Capra).

[makingmusic476]

New bosses? Making me double dip. >=(

Will be well worth it, though.

[aznpxdd]

I hope this game supports 16:10, the real screen ratio for PC's.

1920x1200 >>>>1920x1080.

[Risk Breaker]

Did you Iron Skin him? I know I did right before the patch and after he kicked my ass three times, and I regret it. Dat Tomb of Giants is too much for me though, gah.

[Zeliard]

Fuck Nito, I lost so many souls on that fucker because of his unkillable fucking giant minions and his underground ass raping spike, fuck that guy.

If you stick closer to the start of the level you can keep from pulling his giant minions and then it's just a matter of circling him and smacking him around.

Did you Iron Skin him? I know I did right before the patch and after he kicked my ass three times, and I regret it. Dat Tomb of Giants is too much for me though, gah.

Nope, just had a divine weapon with me to remove the smaller skellies and Nito was dead fairly quickly, honestly. I wanted that fight to be rough!

[Persona7]

I'll get this at bomba price.

I never beat Dark Souls on PS3 because of that stupid save corrupting glitch, I instantly shelved it after that.

[obonicus]

I guess we have no idea about who's porting this. Does anyone know what N-B PC ports are even like?

[UrbanRats]

Nito easy? He was one of the worst for me. :(
I know i'm not good at it, but to consider it easy.. those giant skeletons were constantly ganging on me, i had to switch weapon, cause i had a lighting main weapon and a cheap ass holy claymore to dispose of them skeletons, goddamnit how i would've loved a paused inventory right at that moment.

[Mxrz]

I can't take a shield and a sword and go brute force on every boss in DaS and win, but I can do that just fine in demons souls since little to no bosses do health damage to you while you're blocking.

I was blind. I two handed a +5 lightning claymore (Sometimes a fire great scythe) and was always shocked how quickly it chopped through the boss' health bar. So yeah, you can exploit either game. But elemental weapons are far and away more pve breaking than anything you can do in Demon's. iirc, shields got buffed with the stability changes. Blocking Gyn vs Blocking Allant, etc.

It was mostly because of Giant Ornstein. I would be able to take out Smough on a consistent basis without much of a sweat, but then big fucking Ornstein with his ridiculously long spear and fucking annoyingly insane reach would inevitably catch me with that lunging attack and basically one-shot me.

I had issues too (wanted his ring) but then I realized you can just sort of stay under his legs and he usually will miss you outside of his ass attack.

Ohhh, c'mon, I didn't know you could 2 on 1 Penetrator, that kind of sucks.

I went 1 on 1 on him, beat him on my first try after 15 minutes or even more. As an almost pure melee character, I have to say it was SO GOOD. One of the best boss fights in general.

Both Sif and Seath seemed kind of easy to me. Sif destroyed me when I met her barely 12 hours in, but 40 hours later I (sadly) kicked her ass. I still died to them more than once.

I'll say that everything looks easier once you've done it, I remember wanting to choke a bitch while trying to beat The Four Kings, but now I look back and laugh :D

[Zeliard]

It's Ornstein and Smough who I had quite a time with.

What an asshole. I wanted that sweet armor though.

[ColossalLazy]

I am ready to die a lot.

[Crunched]

Yes. Great news. Couldn't deal with console performance. Looking forward to this.

[Shard]

Sweet, this will make for an excellent birthday present.

[Ashodin]

After selling my PS3 and everything, I'm so ready. Thank you based Namco!

[Raw64life]

I generally hate any and all DLC but I always thought it would be awesome if they put a Demon's Souls boss rush in this game.

[MetatronM]

I'm a little late to the party here, but all I have to say is

[H_Prestige]

Too bad there's no patch to let us throw a nuclear bomb on lost izalith and bed of chaos.

Just to find out it sucked :(

[EasyMode]

Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in.

Day 1.

Yeah, the dude also helps you with the blue dragon (it died in my play through, though) after that.
Seath may not have been that hard with the Thief Ring but dat curse made me so fucking nervous.
Also Crystal Cave was a pain in the ass to traverse everytime (at least, until i learned how to run on the invisible bridges, without shitting myself).

I did Ornstein on NG+, couldn't be bothered on the first run.

[Risk Breaker]

Too bad there's no patch to let us throw a nuclear bomb on lost izalith and bed of chaos.

You dare diss the dragon butts?

Seriously though, Tomb of Giants was harder, cheaper, longer and more cruel. I simply wanted OUT of that place asap. Lost Izalith wasn't so bad.

I wouldn't want any part of the game out anyway.

Seath may not have been that hard with the Thief Ring but dat curse made me so fucking nervous. Also Crystal Cave was a pain in the ass to traverse everytime (at least, until i learned how to run on the invisible bridges, without shitting myself).

Yeah, that's true. Running like a maniac, jumping on top of the golems' heads a la Mario and praying I wouldn't fall (I still fell a lot :D) was something.

[Snuggler]

Fuck yeah! There was a small part of me that was still worried there would be no port...glad those fears have been put to rest. As a huge Demon's Souls fan, I hate to admit it, but I shelved Dark Souls about halfway through. Ever since the PC buzz started I couldn't bring myself to get back to it, but I'm so fucking back on it as soon as this bitch hits Steam.
