Eh not worth it other than if you just want some cool looking stuff early on and the heavy red knight armor set looks identical to the blue knight set you can farm as far as i can tell except i guess the face glows red instead of blue.
The big ritual blade sword is powerful early on and has low stat requirements so you can use it with just about any class right away.
You really should just go back to Bloodborne, it is the superior game.
Asked this earlier in the thread but no answer. Does Deluxe have an option to switch to the original OST like, for example, Resi 2 Remake or something along the lines? No, right? There's no 'original OST' option in general available, right?
sounds like a pass. Thanks for the feedback. Was really only waffling on it because of the soundtrack, but I could probably get the vinyl eventually.
Love, love, love the game. Only played a few hours of the original so it's basically a brand new experience for me.
My only complaint - BluePoint could definitely add an option to turn down the soul form effects a little. It clashes too much with the amazing environments (and it doesn't let me appreciate the awesome player character model), to the point I'm legit sad when I get killed :(

Hey friends, getting my PS5 today so will be playing this game. Didn't play the original but I have played Souls/Sekiro/Bloodborne, platinum'ing the last two.
I've never played a From game online, mostly because I played them years after release. Now that I'm finally playing one when it comes out, do you think it's worth it? I like the idea of helping people but invasions/PvP is really not for me.

Also any good early equipment for a Dex build? Thanks!

Really glad my dumb ass completely forgot about what affects world tendency and how using every single Stone of Ephemeral Eye every time I die in Latria is a bad thing.
Oh well, time to re-roll a character that can actually use at least a little magic here and there for once, I was only 4 hours in. I've only ever gone sword and board with zero spells, so a little variety will be nice.

Dragon God fight is glitched or something. I'm dying (about 50 times now) by getting hit by nothing.
No there is no original OST. The deluxe edition does come with a seperate dowload of the new OST though.
Falchion is usually a dex weapon but the crescent version scales more with magic.
Has anyone experienced a bit of left analogue drift? I had some moments where my character would walk without me touching the controller, and I'm worried that it's the controller. I haven't had this happen in any other games.
lol, I forgive you, though I'll admit I got annoyed when I kept being summoned for it and the hosts all died 3 times in a row. Anyone wants a free headwrap? I got lots of spares 👀
Hard to say, they're both good. Dex might struggle against enemies weak to blunt damage, but outside of world 4 it's not a huge issue, and as a trade-off they get the strongest bows and highest DPS. Strength gets the best weapons for crowd control and just raw power.
Faith is also excellent and is melee-focused too. Honestly, for PvE, it's probably faith -- which is similar to STR but with passive HP regen and magic damage. Overall STR will end up being stronger in terms of DPS, but the advantages of faith builds cannot be understated.
Magic. The "Crescent" part of the name refers to its upgrade path, which scales with the magic stat, adds partial permanent magic damage, and gives it passive MP regen.
Can use the character creator again to update your character's appearance
Rock worms: Shoot at its head when its mouth is open with crossbow or bow
The rockworms will get one-shot if you manage a projectile in their face when their mouth opens. As bad as crossbows are, they are actually useful here, though a bow also works.
Flamelurker is tough. Make sure you can fast-roll. Stay in front of him at all times but at a fair distance, try to bait his slam AOE, then get one-two hits in and quickly retreat. His attack pattern is actually really simple, but he's pretty aggressive and the AOE might clip you every now and then, making him the hardest boss in the game to melee.
Projectiles are the best for worms, but you can totally get them with a melee weapon that has vertical slashes. I'd just avoid fighting them at all if possible.
You can either fast-roll through flamelurkers attack, or you can get a good flame resistant shield and block everything except the big two hand smash which you should avoid.
Honestly feel that post game DLC in that vein is honestly more likely than not.
DS1, DS2, DS3, and Bloodbourne all had extensive DLC, added in post game.
Doing a "6th Archstone" that way allows BP to be 100% faithful to the original game while still adding extra content that stands on its own and doesn't mess with the balance of the base content.
Damn I've barely put anything into magic and I'm like 8 bosses in. Been focusing on dex.
Not worth it at all. The best items are the sword and shield, and the shield is similar to another one you can find in 1-1, but with a smaller stat requirement. The Boletarian armor is trash too aside from fashion souls. The Red-Eyed Knight armor is decent, but very heavy, so you wouldn't really be getting much use out of the entire set for most of the game anyway. The ring is pretty weak too.
Go get a dex weapon. You possibly already found other curved swords that are dex weapons.
yeah i agree... i would love to have some DLC in the short term... BP could make original content of theirs and prove themselves even more to do a proper sequel.
There's not really a good reason not to do it unless Sony hates money.
The 6th Archstone seems suspiciously placed in the UI for an area that will never be used for anything and that secret locked door implies extra content no one has found yet.
I think it's a "when" more than an "if"
I can understand how Demon's Souls unique approach to what would become the souls genre would make it some people's favorite. As somebody who didn't play the original, these elements feel like an interesting twist in the genre to meThat said, for my taste? It is easily my least favorite of 1, 3, and (especially) Bloodborne. Sekiro too, I guess, but the gap isn't as large there. I'm enjoying it, for sure, and I'm so happy to be playing a souls game that is entirely new to me (on a brand new console, no less!) but... yeah, I'm just not feeling this take on the structure, mechanics, and systems.
I'm probably 20-25 hours in and still thoroughly hooked, sometimes truly thrilled. In general though, I'm haunted by this light sense of... boredom? Lack of fulfillment maybe? Idk.

Do you ever find a weapon that's better than your starting weapon or is it best to just keep upgrading your starter wep?
make your uchitanga sharp +5 and never use anything else. You're welcome in advance.
Almost any weapon is viable so it's just your preference of movesets really. However, certain enemies are weaker to certain types of damage. Skeletons weak to blunt damage.
Are hybrid builds okay in this game or are they not very good?
I'm only three bosses in, kinda doing a hybrid dex/magic build but I'm wondering if I'm going to regret it down the line.

6th Archstone as a DLC 'experiment' so to speak would be absolutely a perfect way to introduce themselves, yup. I'd be totally into that.
So there's no rare sword or anything that's like double the dmg of what I have that I should look for then
There are def OP weapons if that's what you're asking but its not out of the ordinary for someone to go through the whole game with just a long sword.
I'm sure you picked up a dex weapon at some point. Uchi, kilij, war scythe are all very good. Pick the one who the moveset you prefer, visit blacksmith Ed and make it Sharp (though good luck on the bladestone farming lol...) and you'll start kicking ass. How high is your dex?
You always find better but it also depends on the class. Some starting weapons are complete trash. But, like, the starting weapons for knights or temple knights are fairly decent and can carry you into the whole game -- but there's also superior versions later. Feel free to keep upgrading your weapon if you like it though. What's your starting weapon?
Some hybrids can work if you know what you're doing but in general it's best to specialize. In your case, it might be salvageable, depending on your stat split and weapons of choice.
We should at least be able to de-activate it for photo mode :( that and the annoying auras like HP regen etc.
Yea that's what I was wondering, so I can't decide if I should put all my souls into upgrading my start wep or wait until I have a new wep to put all souls into it
The long sword, I don't know if I want to keep putting souls into it for upgrades or save my souls for better weps
I've been using my long sword as a knight and honestly haven't found anything better after upgrading it to +7.
You shouldn't really think about that, upgrade it and use it until you find something you like. You can always easily amass souls and materials later, especially if you clear the Shrine of Storms.
Haven't really planned much out. I just want to go dex weapons. Right now I'm using winged spear, will move on to another spear or a katana later.
As far as stat allocation goes, I started as a royal, and have mostly put my points into endurance and dex so far. For magic I've only put a couple points in to INT unlock the second spell slot.
