Dark Souls Trailer: Massive Bosses Will Test Your Mettle
Dark SoulsIf you're craving a challenge, there can be only one game for you this fall.
It's the successor to From Software's award-winning Demon's Souls, and this pseudo-sequel might be even harder. Dark Souls looks fantastic but you'll have to buckle down and do your damndest to prevail; the mammoth bosses you will face are designed to intimidate and ultimately destroy. Several of them are highlighted in the new GamesCom trailer.
Scared yet? Or do you welcome this ramped-up difficulty in comparison to so many easier games? However, all that being said, I think the inherent challenge is what so often grabs our attention; we should also remember that Dark Souls could be a legitimate Game of the Year contender. From Software did it once...why can't they do it again?

You'll hafta let me know if you can hang with Demon's Souls whenever you get to it. That game needs to be part of a psychological test for people.

A lot of DS fans love to claim how the game is all easy just because they are so pleased with themselves that they beat it. Sickens me because it isn't at all true.

Don't worry, not everyone can see greatness when it's two inches in front of their face. =^.^=

For example, for the flame lurker boss there is this homing beam type magic that somehow takes a LOT of damage from him but is very weak against every other enemy. THe gargoyles are know to be one of the hardest bosses of the game but for some stange reason the inferno magic spell destoys them.
Basically you find out what the best way to beat the enemy is and you'll have DS mastered for consecutive gameplays.
@ World
Now with all that said, DS isn't going to be everyone's cup 'o tea so by no means am I trying to convince you to like this game. Just making the point that I've been were you are and of how I came to enjoy Demon's Souls.

Takes a while to get over a wound like that so I am a bit wary of going back for another serious kicking...
Good luck to all that enters but for me it's a pass for the moment... For those that have never tried Demon's Souls and are waiting for this. You are in for a real treat!!!

Every Boss fight in Demon's Souls gave me that feeling, and I am looking to getting it again when I take on these b**ches!

last game that seriously scared me, was, well cant remember its been that long!
last game i could call slightly scary was doom 3, but the last truly terrorfying game would probably have to be the suffering back on the ps1.
now that was just f*cked up 6 ways from sunday!
made hostel look like a freaking pixar movie!
im still a little iffy on this though.
octobers so full,so its not exactly the best month to release a game like this.
might pick it up in the bargain bin come drought time.

My Demons Souls still sits on my shelf in it's shrink wrap. I want to play it, I do. But because of Fallout 3 and Lost Odyssey, I cant start it up just yet. Sorry, two activily played RPG's at one time is already too many. I think I'm close to the end of Fallout 3, though.
