Quoted for truth.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Oh dear god. I've died probably about 25 times so far and I've only just got to Undead Burg. Kept stumbling across places I really shouldn't be going at my level... I miss the nexus :(

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.
Seriously? It's 'Could have'. 'Could of' makes absolutely no fucking sense. Could've and Could have is English. Could of is just retarded. I cringe every single time I see this. It's infuriating.

Lol, it's not as bad as using "there," "their," and "they're" as if they were interchangeable isn't it?

Oh that's annoying but at least it kind of makes sense in the context of the sentence. 'Could of' means absolutely nothing.

The nexus only helped a little; once you beat Phalanx you were free to continue to 1-2, or try 5-1. Oh, and speaking of the 5th area of Demon's Souls, be prepared for some ugly flashbacks to 5-2.

I assumed Blighttown was gonna be the call back to the swamp (Because of all the poison and curses and shit). Is there something else?

Nope, it's Blighttown. All the rickety geography and the mutated inhabitants and the goddamn swamp.

I've played this every chance I've gotten - which, sadly, isn't much - but I finally beat Ornstein and Smough, and could not be happier. Getting the lordvessel makes adventuring much more fun. I think I went through 4 NG+ iterations on demon's souls (I didn't even get the platimun, too. Damn you, pure bladestone!), so I'm wondering if this will require the same.
