[quote name='j-cart']I expect Dark Soul's to be even harder if they add in check points.
Can't wait for more people to complain about how hard of a game it will be and thus say "hard=bad."[/QUOTE]
I'm imagining Demon's Souls with checkpoints and it's horrible. Half of the tension and atmosphere was caused by the lack of checkpoints. Imagine dying on Flamelurker and being respawned right outside the boss gate.

Oxy-moronic. Adding checkpoints takes out a portion of the difficulty -- no reason to learn the map and grind souls and such if you can just keep retrying until you beat it, even if you get lucky.

I'm fine with that. If the levels were short like say...Devil May Cry starting from the beginning after you died wouldn't really be a big deal. But they're not. At least not in Demon's Souls.
EDIT: Maybe they'll have penalties if you do restart from a checkpoint. That'll keep people who don't like the checkpoints happy.

Ding! What frost said.
Loved the fact that in DS there was only one game mode and it only got harder. Hoping that Dark Souls doesn't try to cater to a bigger audience by making the game easier.
The Fraternal Brotherhood of Demon's Souls was an elite fraternity. Only mentally prepared men and women were allowed through the doors of the Boletaria.

There's being difficult and being difficult in the wrong way, and having to repeat a whole level because you died is difficult in the wrong way IMO.
I mean, once again take DMC, in 4 if you wanted you could restart where you died, but lose all the points you've gained up to that point, but it let you restart at say...a boss fight that could still easily destroy you over and over and over again, even though you were restarting right at it. That lets you get better at the part where you're having trouble without having to repeat the level all over again in order to retry the part where you need practice, and eventually you'll be good enough to beat the whole level, including the boss without dying.

I feel the exact same way. Also, I'm actually looking forward to DS for the multiplayer. I think I might really enjoy it because of the mp.

Demon's Souls had a MP. It is basically the same thing in Dark Souls.
Next time whoknows, just don't die It wasn't like DS was a hard game or anything. It was just unforgiving if you made a mistake.

Best thing ever.

So I just got an e-mail from PUR which mentions the various preorders I have and it listed the codes for the DKR skin and the Penguin lounge in my Batman CE as "early access" codes. So I'm guessing this is like the whole Batman armor at Wal-mart thing where it unlocks after you beat the game or something. Also, I'm totally not sure of why they put a digital version of the game's soundtrack (or what songs are by "hit artists"?) and Gotham Knight on there...
Edit: Wait, I thought that Dark Souls had a Monster Hunter-type of MP? I'll be honest, I haven't actually looked at it but that's what my friend told me.

This is partially true. But in Demon's Souls, going through the level again did 2 things for you -- it tuned your mechanics and it gave you souls. Souls you could use to level up. To help you with that boss. It'd be the same way in DMC if DMC didn't have a checkpoints, keep playing til you can combo like a fiend and style like a mother
er and meanwhile, you'll earn a ton of xp to use in getting more life or stronger moves or better abilities.
And if you think the levels in Demon's Souls are long, you're doing something wrong. The game had checkpoints already (sorta), in that you got a new section/waypoint of a world to start at after a section's boss. But that's besides the point. A speed run of the game can be done in less than 2 hours. I've done it when I needed rare stones in world 4-3 to reappear so I could get my platinum. When I got tired of grinding, I beat the game, started again, then enemies were harder/more aggressive/basically 1-hit kills, but between knowing the game mechanics and the worlds, I was back at the end of world 4-3 in approximately 20 minutes.
A large majority of the game is taking the time to learn the worlds and learn the mechanics... the first time takes forever, because you are afraid of everything and afraid of losing souls. A large amount of the game time (120 hours for my platinum) was grinding levels or grinding rare stones. Granted, I was a dick and fought back against the game any way I could. Stealth kill of the boss of 1-4 -- using obstacles against flamelurker in 2-2 -- using the hit and run blindspot against the boss of 4-2, etc.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, however, was pretty sweet. I'll probably buy it.

Actually, I read that if it won't turn on at all, try charging it for a few days. Lights wouldn't even turn on, even when plugged in. PS3 didn't see it. But after spending two days attached to my PC, I noticed the lights were on. Working fine now. ^__^
