In less than a day now the first Souls Game ever will lose its online functionality for good. Now is the time to make your final memories in this magical game. Get your old monk invasions in, get your pure bladestone trades done, go troll some people one last time with the scraping spear.
The End of Demon's Souls Online
DeS was in more need of a remake than DaS1.
DaS still looks and plays good at 1080/60fps.
DeS on the other hand truly aged like milk.
hopefully they use those servers/funding to host the DaS remaster servers.
If I could actually pvp against my own region I would clum
but isn't DeS a sony exclusive like blood borne tho?
DeS still looks and plays great what are you talking about?
Played this game a lot with my brother when it came out.
>Lost our fucking minds the first time we destroyed a twinked out bitch.
>Always admired the game for rewarding bravery and taking risks.
>Still to this day the first game to give me an adrenaline rush after defeating a boss.
>Learning lessons from the Black Skely's was a great time.
I haven't been able to invade as old monk any, but I've found 4-1 to be a pretty happening spot for red stone summons. Ran into somebody abusing the same cursed weapon glitch + rats ring + morion blade + second chance build as me, was fun as hell
2kat a bro afterall I guess
I hope I didn't duplicate the post.
When EXACTLY do the NA servers shut down? Will it be precisely at 12:00 am on the 28th? What timezone then? Atlus USA is in California, so will it be that timezone? Or the Japanese?
It is the end of great Boletaria as we know it
;__;
Yeah but they'd actually have to do work remastering that.
>16 hours 51 minutes 37 seconds left
I will be at home in roughly 7 hours. I think I'll be able to get to 3-3 from 1-2 in several hours.
Umbasa, lads
Anyone in EU want a Monk's Head Wrappings? I have three spares.
My ps3 is hacked, what happens if i go online?
Miyazaki personally invades you and deletes your saves
What year is it that servers for games are still getting shut down?
>some kind of fc at 4-1
>seeing the same guys over and over
>get gg even though I suck
I'm fucking feeling it, goodbye DeS
Damn, that's sad.
I'm PVPing and a dude just messaged me saying 'Use SC', what is that?
Second Chance miracle possibly?
How much do i lose out on playing this game offline?
Sad. I've had good memories with it. But it is nearing 10 years old, kinda expected.
That makes sense, shame this is a pure Int build
It's a good bit lonelier. No messages, no bloodstains, no ghosts, no coop or invasions, may be a blessing or not since shit like Scraping Spear. It's perfectly playable but that online component does make it unique.
Not much. Signs are nice, co-op can be laggy but can be fun, though it can make boss fights far too easy. A lot of invaders make specific builds that fuck you over really hard, no idea if that's your idea of fun.
At the other hand you only need online for one single head gear, which is good for mages, but not required. World tendency can be annoying when online, it's best to actually play offline if you need to manipulate world tendency for items or enemies.
Not that much, the multiplayer was long dead anyway. Main loss are the messages I guess, they really made a tremendous atmosphere in level's feel
tremendous change*
Anyone free NA later tonight? I wanna fight, and trade. Need pure moonlightstone, can drop whatever else except bladestone (bc I used it before I knew about the duping glitch And fuck getting it again)
Am I missing out on this game? I love the series but it seems kinda disappointing in videos. And someone whose opinion I trust said the bosses are worse than DS2. Don't know much about the rest of the game
I just finished it for the first time last night. Still holds up really well. Penetrator was my favorite boss.
It just really has a wonderful feeling that the other souls games lost. Bosses are *easier, but I think they are much better designed because they are more like puzzles, and they all stand out.
>have every achievement
>farmed bladestone for 1 week
>not 1 fucking drop
The bosses are a mixed bag. Some of them are more like puzzles and can be pretty memorable, but not so fun to fight if you already figured it out. Some are basically just great set pieces or have amazing atmosphere that later titles couldn't really replicate, but are not that great when it comes to gameplay. Won't spoiler you.
It's a very raw, unrefined feeling, but in my opinion that's what makes it charming and interesting. The combat is faster than Dark Souls and the overall speed is a little faster. It's biggest issue is variety in armors, I think, and some weapons. As other anons said, there's a certain feeling and atmosphere to the game and especially its bosses that was lost for the most part and make each Archdemon encounter quite special. Whoever told you they were DaS2 bad is memeing because they aren't all Artorias clones. Walking into Storm King's huge monolith forest and seeing it glide overhead looks so fucking good.
If you can get a PS3, I would wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a great game with all kinds of bullshit you can pull. I'd honestly recommend using the dupe glitch for rare shit, too.
servers die twice.
I'll take one nigga, what SL you at? I have a 120 and a 94
I'm SL121, where you wanna go? Also this is my first time, do I or you blue stone or red stone?
>anything worse than Das2
lmao
When the fuck is news coming about that?
4-1'll be nice. Either of us can use a blue stone to summon for co-op. Just give me a few I'm locked out of my house. I'll be ten minutes.
user is breaking into his own house lmao
Any chance of fan servers?
Got Monk's Headwrap on my 4th character last night. 350 multiplayer sessions completed, it was a blast playing with you guys.
Lmao nigga please, even worse is its during a snowstorm making its way here.
I vaguely remember some user creating boss guides for a bunch of the bosses in ms paint comics or something like that, anyone know what I'm talking about?
Bosses are very gimmicky compared to the later games, which I personally love about them, but many people don't. They're easy and not really "epic" like in later games, but very unique and creative.
Overall I've been late to the party with DeS, played it for the first time only last summer after having played all the DaS games already and I've absolutely loved it, in many aspects it became my favourite part of the series. Although if you're judging it purely on gameplay merits then yeah, it is somewhat worse than the later games
I actually think these servers are dying only so they can push a DeS Remaster/Remake on us for the end of the year.
On fucking ps3?
Do keep this thread alive. I need your business.
There are a few of those in this goldmine of an archive

>Just give me a few I'm locked out of my house
kek no worries. I think there's some FC going on there I fought the same guys a few times, my character's name is Sabbak
>snowstorm making it's way here
God damn it's already 80 degrees where I live. Godspeed burglar user
>All those cute waifu in black pics
Oh boy!
It's cool, I got in. I just need to speed through 1-1 on NG+ real quick. My character's name will be Homer
Cool you summon me then? I'm all but done this NG+ cycle
I finished the game with Level ~63, was I over leveled? Between the last 5 or 6 Bosses combined I died once, meanwhile the game was kicking my ass in the beginning?
What Level did you finish the game?
>dev shuts down servers
>doesn't open source them so community can carry on
Why is this allowed?
Sure thing
50-60 range is a normal level to finish the game. 80 and up on new game is what I'd consider over leveled.
>Never got the plat
>Never bothered to get the forged weapons from other players
>Don't have the patience to grind rare ore drops
Rip.
Actually, I'll go with my OG character ready on NG+ for convenience and since he aint a dirty magic man. His name is W33B Trash.
>all these goddamn logos on the EU version.
It's an existential hell
So that they can remaster the game on ps4 and it will sell.
That's normal, DeS is hard at the beginning, but becomes easy when you build up a bit and simply learn how to play better. This actually applies to all Souls games I think.
Down in 4-1 now, by the archstone, I can go through 1-1 with you, too, I'm up to me eyes in Monk wraps
>DeS was in more need of a remake than DaS1.
You know very well that's not getting a remake because they can't make it multiplat
Fluted armor is the most aesthetic plate set in all Souls
Cool, I'm summoning you now I think, I hope
Don't see your sign, summoned two random yahoo's by accident
Why not? The PS3 is hacked to shit
I suspect it'll be the first game to give you an adrenaline rush for the rest of human existance
Yeah someone else got me, sign's down again right by the flagpole near the archstone, dunno if location matters like that
Are you Dow the Organic? That's all I see
>everyone insists Demon's Souls is actually the best Souls game
>Bloodborne releases
>Now everyone admits Demon's Souls wasn't as good as Dark Souls
>But now Bloodborne is the best. For real this time guys.
Yeah that's me!
Oh shit I actually got you then, sorry user. Goes by PSN
Shut up.
how new? this same exact thing happens with every series with a new installment here. it's like a big cycle of contrarianism
You have 4 better game to play online. No one gives a fuck
>nobody gives a fuck
>except for all the people ITT who clearly do, but they don't count cause I say so :^)
DeS > DaS >= BB >> DaS3 >> DaS2
>remaking the first game after the second game
when did this ever happen
Who gives a fuck? We'll have multiplayer on the PS3 emulator by end of the year
is this game any good?
DS1 = DS2 DLC > DeS > DS2
haven't played the others
I'm pretty bummed out as nobody can really experience the online modes anymore starting tomorrow in DeS and the rest of the Souls games are next on the chopping block.
>people new to DeS will never experience being invaded by a red phantom or being able to summon a bro to help on a really hard boss
>No surprise the old monk is a actual player
Meant to eat grass not spice, got skellie'd
I can come drop another sign if you'd like
>emulated servers
Is this even a thing? I'm not saying it's not, but I've never heard of it for console emulation
It's one of the better designed Souls games.
It's cool brah, I was gonna suggest we 1-1 or do a proper Monk Fight after for shits and giggles, though I think you'd destroy me with dem fireballs
Oh boy here come all the faggots to share their opinions on which souls game is the best. No one gives a fuck.
I mean, it was pretty much dead for at least a few last years anyway. DaS will probably quickly follow now that the remaster is coming
Literally the worst souls game. Every single other one including 2 is better.
Cool thanks for sharing your opinion. You can leave now.
I'd be up for 1-1 no problem, I'll break out a silver catalyst so I don't nuke everything, or just my crescent broadsword
Who Dragon Bone Smasher+5 here?
Good stuff, in that case I'll switch to my Intfag, and if you have some Pure Bladestone to trade I could offer some half decent pure ore
Soon Demon's Souls OC will be all we have left
Nobody fucking cares about your autistic rankings, I've seen them a hundred times already in all possible combinations, this user is right. You faggots should just start a general by now in which you could spam your retarded initials and signs combinations and call each other shit taste all day long, while we can have some actual sensible discussion without you.
>pure bladestone
I wish, man, I wish. I can drop a Monk's for you here too if you'd like. Where should I put my sign?
