Yeah that happened to me too. It started as a weird feeling of deja vu and then I thought they were just trying to recreate the opening skit of UPF word for word as a joke.

Something about the upgrade system in Demons' just never clicked with me, both before and after I played Dark. Also for as badly labeled as Dark's menus are, Demons' is worse. All your attributes being designated as wavy lines in different formations is terrible.

Still enjoyed a lot of Demons', just not to the degree as I did with Dark.

I think Brad'll be fine. If you can get through the undead burg, you shouldn't have any trouble with Boletarian Palace 1-1. Especially if he plays that spellcasting class.

I'm trying to remember if Demon's is actually harder than Dark Souls. As I recall, it's not that difficult in the beginning or the end, but the middle is a bigger slog (loving 5-2). Is Tower Knight a bigger roadblock than Capra?

Demon's souls was full of confusing bullshit like world tendency, and stupid bullshit like the dragon in 1-4 and 1-2, and unfair bullshit like crystal lizards.

Dark Sould might be the better game, but I still prefer the atmosphere of Demon's Souls.

This is so not a Demons' Souls stream.

e: wait I had that weird bug where it was just playing last week's UPF. Hadn't watched it yet due to AGDQ so I had no idea.

I would say Demon's has harder levels but much easier bosses since so many Dark Souls bosses are 'aggros to your face and then sticks like glue'

Yes. Soul Level 1 means you can min/max more easily, his starting spell and equipment (a mana regen ring) lets you use spells more freely well before other classes would be able to.

Hahahahah min/maxing. This is GB and Brad with Vinny, I don't think he is going to benefit from min/max strats.

Also magic is super broken in PvE Demon's souls, even more than Dark. Which is saying something.

I dunno, False King is still probably the hardest boss in the series. You could cheese more of them in Demon's Souls, though. There aren't any stupid gimmick levels in Demon's Souls either.

Theres a level in Demons souls where if you invade, you transform into the boss for that level and fight the poor player that has been climbing a tower. And if you win you get this sweetass hat

There is that one boss who can suck out attributes though. When I fought him he took so much of my strength I couldn't use my sword anymore.

Not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.
I love demons souls. Me and my friend both got it when it first came out in the U.S. and played it for a good long time. I wanted to see the giants world so bad.
