Anyone hear about the in game guilds? I'm stoked about the anti-trolling guilds and such, never was a fan about getting invaded like 20 times in a single day, but my gear was good enough to fend them off.

Yes. Walking into GameStop is a mistake.


It could of been worse. You could of went to best buy or newegg and got no collectors edition. This is why "walk in" game store wise GameStop is the best.

You got me there. My pre order from the actual Namco Bandai store still hasn't shipped.

I'm planning out what kind of gear I want to have late game. I'm thinking I want to build a more tankish character. So I'm going to get heavy armor, a big shield, and a pike. And I'll probably get a whip for my weapon switch just because a whip is awesome.

I just read some reviews about how shitty the "collector's edition" is. Now I don't really care if I get that version or not.

On the other hand, really thinking about dropping $150 on the Skyrim collector's edition.

For anyone who's interested, I found a picture which gives a very detailed description of the nine covenants in Dark Souls.

So I'm finally getting into the swing of things. Beat the gargoyles with the help of a few friendly souls. Now I'm stuck on the next boss, who starts off way too close to you and gets a beating quickly. I'm hoping to summon a helper or two.

You mean the one with the giant swords and the two dogs? I hated him. If you run up the stairs you can get to a archway he has trouble hitting you on making it easy to take out the dogs then he isn't so bad. Still a bastard but do abl

Anyone else been cursed yet and gotten un cursed? I'm pretty close to starting a new character just because it just seems futile trying to fight thru new landons ghosts to get un cursed.

I never had this much trouble in demon souls but I just keep coming back for more.

I just started Demon's Souls a couple weeks ago and I'm madly addicted. Once I've had my fill of that and Dark Souls has come down in price I'm going to play the hell out of Dark Souls as well.
