Game Ranking sucks. Being trolled sucks. Get back to /v/.

not bad

The irony is that there's a Western knight on the cover.

>implying ps3 has games

>>3995894
but he's obviously dead

It's not really a JRPG unless it's 2D. This is an impostor.

Well, the White World Event is over, not it's time to go and explore and do stuff that isnt white eventish...

Anyway, Dragon Age is clearly superior

Shitty game.

>>3995894
The irony, and troll, is that Demon's Souls is very western in design. They basically took Oblivion then made it fun and challenging

>>3995910
I'd buy a PS3 for that.

>>3995970
There is a Berserk game for PS2. It's pretty good.

>>3995933
I just played it for 3 days straight.

Just can't get into it, after the lesbian sex I deleted it off my harddrive. Stupid DS spoiled me.

I hate what western games have become.

>>3995978
What? Really? Goddamn, I need to go find my old PS2 and import that shit.

I'm tempted to buy a PS3 for Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles, too bad there's nothing else I want.

>>3995991

a never ending bald space marine/Conans parade?

>>3996004
Well, what else are you doing these days? Browsing 4chan?

>>3995986
It's an action game. Look up a game mechanics guide on gamefaqs and you can play it just fine.

>>3995871
I can believe it. JRPGs became famous by copying WRPGs(see Wizardry 1) years ago and it makes sense they gain popularity by copying WRPGs again today.

>>3996004
Well form the thing I have I can recommend Disgaea 3, the Battlefield BC2 company beta is awesome, I liked Ethernal Sonata, FFXII is going to be okay I guess, White Knigts Chonicles, Atilier Rorona and Ar Torelico 3 are going to be awesome too, also Tales of Vesperia. I liked Killzone 2 and Ratchet and Clank is surprisingly good. Also Fat Princess is okay too.

>>3996002

>>3996002
It's a blast at first, but repetitive and gets old fast. It plays roughly like DMC or Onimusha, but with a lot more, but weaker enemies. It's common to hack through 5-10 enemies in 2-3 seconds with a huge slash or two.

>>3996057
This is clearly our fault for ever straying from the winning formula of Nintendo Hard.

>>3996073
Eh, sounds like one of those games you'd pick up and drop. Thanks for the info, anyway.

>>3996086
Look at this loser using TVtropes idiocy

Personally, I would rather a return to more turn based roleplaying games, and I do not like this current turn of events one bit.

>>3996112
That's not what your dad said last night at 3 in the morning

>>3996104
You know what I called it before I read TVTropes?

...yeah. Nintendo hard.

>>3996130
What does this even mean?

>>3995881
what's funny is this troll makes more sense in /v/; most trolls here say how Japan sucks and we're all pathetic weaboos

>>3996152
it means he had sex with your dad

>>3996162

I HATE THEM, first it's like hey YOU LIKE POISON?, okay 2 hours later, man am I glad to be over with that shitty poison swamp, 3-3 PLAUGE SWAMP FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Was Vesperia (PS3) dated for NA?

>>3996086

That image made me laugh harder than it should have

Too bad it's on PS3.

>>3996175

Not to mention the PLAGUE BABIES WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE THEY SO HARD TO KILL FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Of course then you learn you should just avoid them....

5-3 was still great though. Really enjoyed the little Maiden/Garl plot

>>3996175
Who's that on the left? 5-2 is the worst map,fucking hate it. It's not hard or anything, just fucking retarded.
Best is how I almost rage quit the first three times when that Black Phantom massacred me because I didn't see him just after I saw where to leave the area.

>>3996179
Nope, they just hinted that it will be released.

for the longest time i thought the guy in the cover was riding a horse

Cool story bro. Never saw her in-game so I bet it's one of those characters you need to lurk FAQ's for

>>3996238

She's in 5-2 you colossal faggot. At the beginning of the "second half" of the swamp.

Only there during pure white or black. Pure white world 5 should be easy as hell to get.

>>3996238
Yeah shes Pure White, she gives you the quest to kill mister I WILL PROTECT MY PRIESTESS.

>>3996251
Stop calling me names on the internet .....
I said that I hate 5-2, so obviously I won't participate in any events on that particular stage.

>>3996204
Good thing I picked up that shitty raged clothing in the beginning has nice plague defense. But christ 5-3 is even more irritating then 3-2 for some reason, should I make a Lava bow and just rape them all?

>>3996294
>But christ 5-3 is even more irritating then 5-2 for some reason
Also good thing the white event was on the executioner gear has really good DEF for all the other stages.

>>3996294
5-3? What's confusing there? I thought you killed the lovely pair already?
Didn't use special plague resistence on 5. The boss on 5-2 is pretty much the easiest of all x-2 levels if you keep the distance and use fire attacks.

>>3996204
I loled at the wiki entry
Trivia: See that nasty nail sticking out of their gut where their umbilical cord would be, that is if they weren't disgusting demonic spawn? Guess what the Baby's Nail is made of, the dagger that deals in Plague damage? "Eww…."

Question: So this is what comes out of Astrea?

>>3996304
That gear is female only.

I enjoyed it, but I raged when I realized I can't wear Garl or Ancient King's....

Then I raged some more when that faggot Oastrava bugged on me and I never got his key so I couldn't get to King Doran's event anyway...

>>3996330
What, the plague babies? I don't think there is any hint or confirmation that Astraea gave birth to them.

She supposedly set up a sanctuary to try to cure the infected, but ended up getting corrupted herself. So the babies are probably just the babies of people who tried to go to her for help.

>>3996271
Astrea is such a slut, she fucked almost all her knights to death and gave birth to all their plague babies.

>>3996304
If possible check out after re-login if you still have the tendency values from after the special event.
I believe I had this during Halloween for some time after the event should have ended

How did this shit win over dragon age?

>>3996362
She only had one knight.

Her and Garl were the only two who went into the fog.

Long story short: If it's not Ar Tonelico 3, I'm not fucking interested.

>>3996396
Who are you again

>>3996396
Way to be close-minded and shut off all options, anon.

>>3996327
Nope I get raped, before I get to them or when I get to them, I want to kill that idiot and get his armor not snipe the bitch,
>>3996332
Yeah my "main" is a male royal mage, but I made a Wandere female around the http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/wanderer
Blueblood build, seems cool to have TONS of luck and do damage from it. So I got all the Female only armors Old Raggedy Robes, Rogue's Clothes and Binded Cross.
I still need King Dorians and Dark Silver Armor for my male but I'm in no hurry I got all the White event stuff I needed for my male and female.

>>3996410
>>3996413

It's a matter of style my dear sirs. It's not that I'm closed minded, it's that I dislike anything that's not colorful and perverted.

>>3995868
please cease and desist with your spamming on our board ano
nta
lk.com thanks in advance have a nice day

>>3996445
Well Demon's Souls is perverted. Not in a sexual way, but in a sadistic way.

>>3996445
So you like Ethernal Sonata, Star Ocean: The Last Hope International and Last Rebelion?

>>3996463
Hey the Idol is sexy as hell, so is the Maiden in Black.

>>3996371
If you didn't log in after the event ended then you would still have pure white tendency. What I did as I just got the game the day before yesterday was create 4 characters and log in to get pure white on all of them then simply disable auto login and stay offline.

What followed was killing Executioner Miralda on a MALE soul level 6 Wanderer for her gear, I facepalmed but atleast I did it on the first try so I felt good.

Of course then all my skilled rolling and dodging went away and I died to a spearman.

I see. Vinland can be a bitch afterall. For melee fighters it's a power and reaction game. I killed him once with Demonbrandt and Firestorm (to lower his guard). So if you have both you should try it out. Stop wasting direct spells when he has his guard on (100% magic resistance)

>>3996477
It's alright, the normal enemies are much stronger than the bosses and special NPCs in this game.

>>3996486
For melee fighters, just use Mirdan Hammer or Large Sword of Moonlight. Then laugh at his useless shield.

>>3996477
We had this confusion before. That's not Executioner Miralda but Body Form Miralda. Executioner Miralda is on Pure Black Tendency. That's the one I fought on SL ~30-35 without using the bug and I didn't stand a chance back then

>>3996467

Eternal Sonata because it's an orgasm of color, and because Salsa and March give me a humongous erection. Not actually sure about the other two.

>>3996499
Difference is: It's Miralda as Black Phantom = much stronger and tougher
And the drop is different

>>3996524
owow I tried the demo and stopped after the first fight. Seriously now what the fuck

>>3996499
Where the hell did I get executioner from..

I looked at the wiki tab I have open to see how to spell Miralda but completely blanked out the "Body Form in Body Form" part.

King's Field wasn't that bad. I'm looking foward to giving this a shot whenever I run out of PS2 games to burn and finally decide to buy a PS3.

And Japanese games always tend to be GOTY. Sorry, /v/.

as long as FFXIII doesn't become GotY '10 in either Europe, NA or JP I'm fine.
I bet ME² will be the successor of Demon's Souls.

>>3996536

Hmmm... See now, when I first started the game I thought the battles were kind of meh, but I stuck with it because it was cute, colorful, and because I wanted to polka Polka. Later I discovered that some of the characters are pretty cool, Chopin was an epic musician, and I was actually enjoying this game. That said, it has a lot of flaws. I would have added a bit more humor and dirty innuendo, because that's my thing.

>>3996498
I'm a level 37 Wanderer with
Vit:10
Int: 10
End: 13
Str: 18
Dex :18
Magic : 18
Faith: 18
Luck: 13

So any sugestions on killing him? Except trupentine and Baby's Nail or heavy weapons I cant imagine welding?

>>3996580
I just hope we get some DLC for the game...

>>3996585
Get the LSoM, it's in 5-2 near the end at the slugs nest.

Christ what the fuck is wrong with you kids?

Everything in this thread is shit; except King's Field, which is good but still doesn't belong.

>>3995962
>They basically took Oblivion then made it fun and challenging

You can't make Oblivion fun.

You lie.

Demon's Souls is like a modern WRPG, except good. For one thing it doesn't advertise itself as "OMG YOU MAKE CHOICES SUCH INNOVATION!!" that is merely the standard "Good Deed [rescue]/Bad Deed [kill]/Neutral [ignore]" (always laugh when WRPG fanboys use this as the #1 reason why WRPGs are superior to every JRPG in existence).

At least in Demon's Souls they said fuck all that and focused on more actiony, challenging gameplay.

>>3996599

>Christ what the fuck is wrong with you kids?

Do you really need to ask? Of course i agree with you that this mainstream normals shit doesn't belong here, but hey, it's the holidays.

>>3996609
>actiony, challenging gameplay.

But RPGs aren't supposed to be actiony. It's all wrong.

>>3996585
What good weapon do you have and able to use? Maybe it would be best to level up 20 levels and try again?
A strategy that would go for you would be to lure him into making his move, evade and then do your best attacks, then keep your distance again. And don't forget to allout attack him when he tries to replenish his HP

Or try the idea of the other anon with LSoM, however you would have to upgrade your Faith stats

>>3996610
Sure is delicous jealous butthurt in here

>>3996648

>jealous

More like sickened.

Speaking of games, is there anything worth playing on the wii other than Brawl and TP yet?

>From Software
>Atlus
>Mainstream
>said by frustated-chan

>>3996594
>The Large Sword of Moonlight requires 24 Faith to wield.
Well I guess I could invest a bit info Faith since the Blueblood sword uses Faith for magic damage too.

>>3996679
If you don't want to level faith, use the Mirdan Hammer.

>>3996686
Should I maybe take my time and upgrade it to dragon?

>>3996716
Yes if you do not intend to make it Crushing or Blessed.

>>3996723
Well I'm going a Luck build that relies on the http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/blueblood-sword

>>3996648
>jealous
I have a PS3, though.

>>3996738
Then you might as well use LSoM.

>>3996648
Good weapons for now, Cresent Rapier, Longbow, Baby Nail, Istarelle, Geri's Stilleto and thats about it...

>>3996750
Well then I shall try that.

>>3996676

Looking through From Software's catalogue, I don't see anything that leads me to believe they cater to a fringe audience like, say, Gust Incorporated. Fatlus is about 50/50 compared to NIS.

>>3996676
Atlus has been mainstream ever since 2003.

You kids wanting to be hip and underground are just laughable.

>>3996585
get meat cleaver or some other good knockback weapon, the Brand he swings is slow as fuck, wait for him to swing, step back and attack to send him soaring
repeat
be careful though, as one swing from that shit of his will most likely fuck you up in 1 hit

Mirdan would do it but I don't know with SL37. The first with my Hunter I did him with my superior speed (lure and attack with upgraded Spear) but this was only possible because I did the 5-x stages at last so my level was much higher. Almost killed him at the first time but I got to greedy and was at last lured by him into the plague infested swamp and died while I attempted the last blow.

I bet I could have beaten him pretty easily with a pole weapon but I didn't like the handling so I never fought with Mirdan and wasn't aware of the blunt attack capabilities.

oh hi! Japan just upgraded your WRPG.

>>3996780
The only one playing the silly underground argument are you. Get back to playing with your 2hu and come back when you left the underage world

>>3996585
with those stats try to use either a kilij or a falchion to bleed him to death, just wait for an opening of Vinland and strike 1 or 2 times and retreat
he will fall quite easily after a while
you can do the same with his BP version, just expect a longer fight as he has more HP

>>3996813
Then Atlus is mainstream and thus is /v/.

I hear they even like Atlus games now.

>>3996802
My problem obvious is that my build is based on the Blueblood sword and I need to kill the maiden in order to get it, but I want his armor too...

>>3996831
vinlad's armor? fuck no, its fucking heavy and restricts a lot stamina regeneration
stick with black leather

Anyways thanks for the tips, 4am so I'll go sleep, guess I'll level up a bit in 4-1 and then try it with the LSoM

>>3996848
Actaully I was thinking more of sticking with Binded Cross set, since it has good weight, no stamina pentality and good def.

>>3996854
LSoM is awesome in a faith build, although it gets outclassed quickly by stuff like meat cleaver or a blessed +5 weapon (I use a great sword myself) slicing through shields is awesome, love shredding invading BP with it

OH WAIT FFFFFFFFF Dark Silver Armor is MALE ONLY!?

FFFFFFFFFF, fuck this then, I'll just arrow the Maiden to death... when I make the blaze bow or whatever it's called.

>>3996862
oh, if you are female then do so, it is a great set although personally I don't like how it looks like lol

>>3996876
Yeah I'll kill that fucker with my male mage later...

>>3996873
ah yeah, that lol
if you want an armor Gloom's is quite good, thanks to its high resistances to everything

>>3996869
I got absolutely dominated by some Scraping Spear BP two days back....

It was like bam bam my equips are useless I'm dead...

>>3996869
blessed great sword +5? holy shit, how many faithstones did you need for that? I'm also aiming for it but fuck, I hate 5-2 and those globin shamans are the only fuckers that drop that kind of stone

oh you, Dark Silver Armor is awesome. Later when your character becomes awesome. Stamina regeneration penalty? Who fucking cares if your stamina bar is big enough and your equip burden good enough and increased with the Great Strength ring

You all need to grow up and realize that this board is not for posting threads that you like and then calling it /jp/ related.

>>3996894
either try to parry that fucking spear to go in for the kill or use spells, I hate being trolled by that weapon lol

>>3996901
We are talking about a japanese video game, retard

>>3996898
If you get so awesome as to do that you might aswell go with Brushwood Armor

>>3996895
you need like 50 shards, 20 chunks and 2 pures, not to mention the hardstones you need first to make a great sword +6... but its worth it

>>3996909
Game with Nasu's SEAL OF APPROVAL

>>3996909
Does that mean FF10 is /jp/ related? It's a Japanese game. No.

>>3996902
Yeah he kind of destroyed my Catalyst, he also had a Rune Shield...

>>3996912
>Brushwood Armor

CANT FUCKING MOVE

>>3996916
If anything is easy to come by it's hardstones...

>>3996924
ostrava the suicidal?

You guys can't even support breaking the rules and thinking you guys run the place.

Thus, grow up, the all of you.

>>3996934
That godamn faggot you have to watch his ass all the time, and all that for a fucking Pure Clearstone and Key to Dorian...

>>3996931
the problem are the fucking shards, in PBWT the shamans tend to drop about 2 or 3 and if you are lucky, some chunks, but you must be careful in 5-2 due to the BP giant goblins
best advice is go to 5-3 archstone, turn back and kill the first shaman you see and exit, repeat as necessary
also, any tip with killing BP Selen? the fact that you can't run/roll in the swamp is the real pain in the ass of that fight...

Why are you guys continuing with this thread when it obviously doesn't belong?

>>3996948
try to bring her health down with a bow, at 50% more or less she will either cast heal, antimagic field of both, thus making the fight drag on forever, so you have to get close, grab your best fucking weapon and go 2 handed, as her blind also ignores shields like LSoM
try to cream her ass quickly and don't give her the chance to get up

it took me 2 tries but this is how I did it, BP Selen is possibly the hardest fight of the entire game

>>3996912
That one is still too much. Dark Silver Armor is pretty good if you have a male non melee character and yet not acquired the King's Breastplate.
I fought only once against Doran, proved my worth but didn't kill him. Learned only later about his drop .... but he's pretty good against normal magic attack, so I doubt I would have stood a chance without equipped non-elemental spells

>>3996962
Why are you continuing to bug us? You arent obviously doing anything or trolling anyone?

>>3996923
EVERYTHING ABOUT JAPAN

The crowd wants to discuss DS, so go away

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1321-Demons-Souls

I don't know guys... Doesn't seem moe enough for me. It wouldn't fit in next to all my games full of little girls.

>>3996962

Why are continuing complaining when obviously no one cares?

>>3996981
As long as they are two dimensional in origin or Idolmaster. 3D games leave this place.

>>3996967
spells barely do anything to him, your best bet is cast poison/death cloud and run away like a bitch
if you wanna melee him, you need a knockback weapon, lure him to where the ballistas are, he will follow you for a while before turning back, the key point here is that he won't attack, so you have to put yourself in front of him to block his path and swing to send him soaring to the catapults area
he will never attack here, so you can keep hitting him, just don't let him go back to the small room of the tower

>>3996967
I think now that armor is just for style

unless some one proves me wrong

>>3997005
nothing of Doran's set restricts stamina regeneration, still, the mask looks retarded

Pretty fucking good, considering everything about it was westernized.

Proves JRPGs are universally shitty.

personally I prefer gloom's helmet and armor, using black leather gloves and boots, looks quite cool

>>3997005
in NG+++ its pretty much useless, as most enemies can still 1hit KO you or are very close to do so
try to run around naked

>>3997029

Just because it's grimdark and you create the character doesn't mean it's not a JRPG.

>>3996976
Because this is obviously /v/ and the mods don't give a shit about this place (or 80% of the other 4chan boards).

>>3996981
Because the crowd doesn't know order and assumes that it belongs since they like it; this place turned into a schoolyard with the ones wanting stability and decency getting shunned and picked on by the pathetic cool kids wanting to act tough.

>>3997075
>implying he gives a fuck about an imageboard and wat gets posted in it

What the hell, /jp/?

I haven't been here in months and I see a 150+ reply Demon's Souls thread on the front page.

Don't get me wrong, I really love the game but COME ON.

>>3997005
I don't use the helmet. My Hunter build turned into a magic centered allrounder. I can equip it with increased speed and the defense values are the 2nd best of any armor. If ever I would switch to Doran's armor, because then I could use another ring for buffing.
I don't have any issues with stamina as my endurance decent and I always had my Shield upgraded according to the enemies strength.

The decent armors have a stamina regen of 2/4, DSA 3/4 but superior defense values.
As said, only Dorans Armor would be better for me

Ancient King's Set and Binded Set are pretty much the best armors for males and females respectably, since they have no stamina pentality, well theres Black Lether that comes in usefull for poison def, but all the other no pentaltiy are pretty much useless Wizard's, Rouge's, Shaman's.

>>3997074
The only acceptable westernized JRPG is Dark Law.

>>3997092
That's what most asocial and actual "pathetic" people have come to since they are shunned everywhere and have no where to go.

> Doesn't belong here

It's not Japan since it was localized here.

You're not helping your case.

>>3997154

I wish this game had DA:O's character creation builder, as well as the same underwear instead of tank tops and shorts. Nothing is better than being bashed to death by a beautiful woman in her underwear using DSS+5.

ITT, people not knowing what /jp/ material actually is because they have been here less than 2 years.

I wish this game had DA:O's character creation builder, as well as the same underwear instead of tank tops and shorts. Nothing is better than being bashed to death by a beautiful woman in her underwear using DBS+5.

>>3997058
Only the red knights (2 hits) and the big fags from 5-1. However why should I lower my defensive values if I don't gain anything? Stamina is not a problem as said before because of my allrounder build. Doran's armor would be much better because of my speed and I will get this one the next time I decide to play DS.

>>3997149

I got mine for Christmas. Two trips into the hidden passage in 4-2 and I got it.

This was after days of trying, mind you. Also, playing offline in PBWT.

A Christmas miracle.

how do I climb a ledge in 5-1 to get to items?

You're supposed to fall from a higher ledge. Seriously.

Or maybe you have to lower a plank on the opposite side of the ledge.

>>3997419
just try not to kill yourself doing that

>>3997386
Then from now on, as an example, you go and discuss your disney crap on /v/.
