That’s good to know but we’re talking about Demons Souls here, not your personal life...
Looking forward to getting this week and learning to ‘get gud’.
Don't worry you'll get tentacled in 3-1.

Don't worry you'll get tentacled in 3-1.
1-1 is up to the first boss in the first area. Once you've done that boss the other areas open up.

Cheers I thought it was some sort of build or something 
makes sense though now I’ve just completed the first boss so all other areas have opened up

Friend of mine is getting his ass handed to him and asked me for help but I can't seem to put my summon sign down?
Got it equipped and hitting square but the sign isn't going down - the character just isn't doing it.
From what I remember I think he needs to be in body form to summon and you need to be in soul form to put the sign down.
I've decided to play properly tomorrow when my new TV arrives, you know so I get the 'best' experience. I didn't get far on PS3 version, think I killed a boss with lots of eyes and that was about it. Rest of the time spent stressing what I should do with my souls and wondering wtf world tendency meant.
Not even close, distinctly puts Bloodborne in last gen graphically.
Absolutely massive step up.
It's more the resolution and framerate than straight up graphics that impress me.
Bloodborne would look much better at a higher res and framerate.
Not sure I achieved much this evening. 4-1 now spawning a phantom skeleton at the beginning who's pretty tough. I found the merchant underground and stocked up on meds. Made a flame resistant set and still got owned by the flamelurker.

You’ve probably died lots (from human form) in world 4 and pushed it into black tendency.

How are you finding it? My plan is to get through MM and ACV first, then maybe pick up Demon's Souls. I've kinda been put off it by how many people say its ridiculous hard. I don't want to drop £60 on a game that's inevitably going to just **** me off.
It is tough. I'm definitely a more casual gamer than I use to be. Despite that there is a draw to keep pushing and trying. The combat and the way it looks is amazing. I was in the same boat and thought worse case scenario I sell it and lose a tenner. I'm pushing on from now as still enjoying it but sometimes it really does test your patience.
I just think of the tough enemies and bosses as little puzzles that I have to figure out how to over come. Most of the armour sets you find will help you out with poison, fire and magic resistances etc. Some bosses hate fire and some aren't susceptible so try the weapon resins on them to see what really hurts the most. It's just finding out what works the best. If you just try and hack your way through it you will get frustrated. The last boss in Dark Souls I was getting wrecked until I saw someone say 'just parry him' and I was like really? I suck at parrying. Turns out he's the easiest enemy to parry in the game and I killed him in about 10 seconds.
I don't think it's the puzzles and enemies as such because you're right it's fun working out their weakness. It's the complete lack of any guidance of systems etc. Weapon resins - please elaborate.
Resins you pick up or buy from vendors - for fire it is turpentine which is readily available in world 1-1 - because the boss Phalanx is susceptible to fire. The game is actually helping you but it's just not telling you it is. If you click on them you can then 'use' them and your character will apply them to their weapons for increased damage.

Ah yes apologies I know about the fire resin. Didn't realise there were others. Assume loot only and you cannot buy.
