So what part of the world is this actually effecting? I know JP but what other countries played off those servers?

Everywhere. They're totally shutting it down.

Making a new character. I feel like I should start as a Knight for auld lang syne but it's a bit generic.

What starter do y'all recommend?

I heard it was just japan.

I don't understand why they would even bother. The servers only help establish connectivity between players and sync bloodstains and messages. They're probably extremely cheap to keep running.

Atlus and the official DS twitter confirmed it's everywhere.

I'm not him but I'm starting to read conflicting reports on the matter. Now I'm confused.

that would depend on your build

usually royal or temple knight or anything with as little luck as possible

Suddenly stones of ephemeral eyes are more important eh? Nah - everyone played offline to mess with world tendency anyway.

>SHUTTING DOWN
I played through this twice online in 2013 and never had any player interactions, apart from the messages.

So uhhh western port when? I played all of the souls games except DeS and I really want to buy this game but I don't want to make a nip account

Anyone who wanted to play online should've done it by now, it's dirt cheap anyway and you're not missing out on much except for you usual funny messages and scraping spear players
2009

>So uhhh western port when?
Are you just pretending to be retarded?

Demon's Soul PS4 confirmed?

>he never got invaded by Japanese Gregors that stomped his shit

emulation

it will be up to emulator developers to bandaid in multiplayer, probably in the form of direct peer to peer with no intermediary server that manages initial connections.

>there will soon be a time where the only way to play Demon's Souls online is on pc

...

I would actually be ok with this

who knows, considering Sony is shutting down their servers including atlus

its pretty weird that both are on the same day when Sony wouldn't have control of theirs unless Sony bought the publishing rights back or a remaster is coming

>atlus confirming the shutdown too

If they announce it and the title-flash has any fucking music other than the Character Select music I'll be pissed off.

not gonna lie, the demon's souls menu when you boot up is awesome.
so is dark souls 1 and 2.
Bloodborne and dark souls 3 added music and ruined the mood

Agreed.
DS3's reflects the rest of the game though, overly dramatic anime bullshit.

RETURN TO BOLETARIA WHEN?
Come on guys, this game deserves the last hurrah before the servers shut down

Matthewmatosis and his girlfriend are not going to be happy about this...

weapon arts fucking suck and so does the ashen estus

>demon is souls
dropped

Demon's Souls didn't have cross-region servers. Shut the fuck up.

we need to make an online gathering, maybe if enough people get online they will postpone it

Well maybe now I will go back to plat that game finally.
After spending hundreds of hours in pvp I tried farming the pure bladestone for days and got nothing.
Think anyone can drop me one for the plat?

but I got invaded by Japanese named players that stomped my shit multiple times.

Fucking now.
Play more Demon's Souls.

no. keep grinding.

You had weebs invading or you had chink version of the disc, which had english texts

Nah thanks
It’s not worth and dead game now

Bloodborne 2 when

This is Exactly why I hate all these new games that rely on online for important stuff : once their servers die, you're often left with an incomplete game... (still sad for MH3, I'll never be able to farm Alatreon again!)

never gonna happen, DeS is stuck in licensing hell between many different companies varying region-to-region.

the game doesn't have online exclusive trophies but it does have an online exclusive hat

Temple Knight's always been my jam, and the extra faith is a good jumping off point for cheesing the game without resorting to magic.

im gonna make a full on mage next run through

>>demon is souls
What?

STOP KILLING GAMES!

>killing
>still perfectly playable offline
>literally costs the devoloper money to keep server up that hardly anyone plays on
>wah wah waste money for the handful of people still playing

>playing games online
What kind of normie faggots are you guys?

Epicnamebro who's a big Soulsborne content creator just today speculated that this might mean they're doing a Demon's Souls remaster.

As far as the servers getting shut down goes :
If you haven't actively been playing this game online recently then how does this even affect you?

...

i will do anything to become less and less like you, so i will now play it online ;)

Which one? Can I get it right now?

It's a weird feeling not being able to go to the pantheon anymore, It was neat to find this thing hidden away at the top of the map where most people wouldn't go unless they explored it. oh and seeing bloodstains and messages in weird places, seeing the spirit of one person still playing the game after all this time it just wouldn't feel the same if nothing after shutting down

the tall yellow one. wiki it.

it has, one trophy (collect every special item, or something like that) requires that hat
And I don't have it. Tried a million times to be summoned in the monk fight, but fucking never did it

PS4 version WHEN

Fuck. My friend has my PS3 and I never got around to beating Demon's Souls. I'm gonna have to get it from him now

Can't you also be sometimes summoned by the monk to defeat an AI "player"?

now imagine this game being on PC, somebody would just make something like DSCM and online would continue

this.
Demon's Souls created those mechanic, it's gonna be so empty without those bloodstains revealing big danger or somebody else mistakes, or without those creepy messages made by players on obscure locations

It's been speculated that all 3 publishers shutting it down simultaneously would mean that they're planning on unveiling a ps4 rerelease / remaster soon.

>tfw this is my favorite nip game by far

Fuck. I haven't even started the game.

How hard is it to get?

Someone give me a quick rundown on what the fuck "World Tendency" even means.

I'm still in the middle of Platinuming DS1 & 2.

it does not give you the hat that way. I've only beat monk fight that way (It was fucking imposible to be summoned by other player in lately)

yeah, it IS weird that even atlus is shutting down the servers.
I bet Sony bought back the publishing rights and will rerelease it...

yeah, but the community would be so shitty no one would want to use it

I'd recommend making a magic character now if you haven't, as you will be unable to get the Monk's Headgear after this.

Also good luck getting your platinum if you haven't already.

I'm pretty sure I got the hat this way, playing through the game a few months ago. I was summoned by the monk to defeat something I'm pretty sure was an AI and not a real player.

Yeah Dark Souls 1 showed me what DeS would be like on PC, no thanks. DeS doesn't need Cheat Engine users.

I'm so glad that I have the platinum.

Fuck I need to replay this gem then

Is 3 months even enough to Platinum it?

I've only played AI and never got the hat. AI is a guy with dual claws, you fought that?

Me too, friend, me too.

Nah, I don't mean beating the Old Monk. I mean being summoned by him to defeat an AI player, since a real one is unavailable

Yes, the hardest part is getting all the rings, special weapons and pure bladestone. You'll either have to play online and be extremely careful with world tendency or play offline and be extremely careful with world tendency. You will have to do NG+ and ++ if you fuck up. Follow a guide and you should be fine.

yes. but expect HELL when grinding for pure kinostone I mean blade stone

Getting platinum hard to do?

>All these people who still need to farm the pure bladestone

Don't you still have to go to NG++ because Astraea's soul can be made into several things?

yes, but enough dedication and you can get it. just have to be careful with world tendency

You can dupe really easily in DeS so it isn't necessary.

>cheating

>Console plebs always shut down Demon Soul's on PC for not having online
>Now Console plebs don't have it either
PC ALWAYS WINS

>not playing on comfy ps3

>tfw you don't have trophy autism

Fuck the online. It made the game too easy. Literally spoiling every single traps and hot zones in the game, what is this shit?
>b-but muh pvp!!!
Autism

>not squeezing out every last bit of fun
>being korean

but its fun if you really love the game and want everything

What?

>Had to wait 8 years to play the game in the first place
>PEEE SEEE ALWAYS WINSSSSS XDDD

Hey man, I'm just telling you the truth.

I only have it for Souls games since it encourages me to find everything.

You dont need online at all the get the platinum. The only thing in the entire game locked to the online mode is the monks headgear.

Is it ever going to be remastered?

DEMON SOULS REMAKE ANNOUNCED IN PLAYSTATION EXPERIENCE

YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST FOLKS

Yes. Probably bad to say this, but the shutdown makes it an option to know. There is an item duplication glitch with the NPC's storage that allows you to duplicate any item in the game. I forgot exactly how it worked, but you would do something like switch the item count of one item for another item you want duplicates of. With this, you will be able to dupe boss souls, materials, and other items and make the necessary items you need without relying on new game plusses. You don't have to do it of course, but I think it would make it less stressful to do everything before it all goes down.
Also, I think it is easier to do everything with pure black world tendency first and then go for pure white world tendency. There are somethings that require pure black world to do. When the world becomes black, there are these specific enemies that will spawn in random parts of different stages. When you kill them, it will push the world towards white world tendency. I don't recall if those enemies are required to do everything, but at least keep that in mind as you plan everything out.

You have a heart of gold...
Don't let them take it from you.

thanks for beta testing tho ;)

>Want to play online? Buy it again, wagecucks!

How is it a beta test when we got to play the full game and you only get to play a fraction of it?

>8 Years
>15 fps
My sides

source?

I mean, when it's basically the only reason to have a PS3, they pretty much DO win. Demon's Souls turned the PS3 from a "no gaems" machine into a "weeb gaems" machine.
Now to wait for an OG Xbox emulator. It still hurts
