GameRager: The game in intensely hard, well unless you picm maybe the fighter types and go all armored up. I did a magician/rogue mix and needless to say I had to rely more on weapons at the start just to scrape by(for one, you don't get much magic at the start....and also your armor choices are limited as well at the beginning if you don't choose a fighter.).

RealWeaponX: You're better off with no armour at all in Demon's Souls. You can move faster, roll, and don't lose stamina as quickly. Freedom of movement is more important than the ability to take a hit. The only thing that should be getting hit is your shield, and that should only be hit strategically, i.e. if you intend to parry, or absorb then strike. Once you learn an enemy's attack pattern, that enemy is no longer a threat...
Bah, i'm not into strategy. I just want to hack and slash, rinse, repeat.
I would love it on PC too. My only problem is with how anal Namco Bandai got over CD Project removing the securom from Witcher 2. If they were that bothered by it then if they did bring Dark Souls to PC it would probably ship over with Securom which would then result in many people not purchasing it including myself.

Heck i only purchased Witcher 2 after the DRM Free patch was released even though i really wanted to play it day 1.

Well, at least don't brag about it.
Good article about the difficulty of Dark Souls. Warning: Some spoilers.

I heard Witcher 2 shipped with securom right? And it worsened the performance, hence CDPR tried to be nice to their customer and removed the DRM (eventually sued and lost the case). Expect the same thing with Dark Souls, for those who are interested.
Ah feck, just goes to show that I need to stop reading 'gaming news sites', since everyone seems to be aiming the petition at Namco instead of where it should be going, From Software.

I didn't mean it to sound so crude. I do SOME strategy(I guess you could call it.) by playing certain classes and watching the different enemies and gauaging my next move. Other than that though I dislike having to spend a shit ton of time in one small spot(beyond boss battles) because the next enemy can chew through my armor and spit bits of me out if I look at him the wrong way, even if i'm as tough as he is just not the "right kind" of tough to beat him.

To me, an RPG(or hack and slash game like this) should be challenging yet not to the point where you want to give up playing, even on the easiest difficulties. I also shouldn't have to replay an area 20+ times to beat it....maybe 5ish or so would be fine, but not "fall off a cliff due to baddie knocking you off, have to repeat entire area", "respawn", "continue past area of cliffs and then get gimped by a baddie hiding behind a doorway because he had armor ignoring magic and you didn't see him.", etc.

We have their attention. Now I hope they will make decision, whether positive or negative, quickly. They should utilize the hype!
It would be super.
I hope they go with steamworks or I won't touch it at all.

It's namco, so some sort of DRM is expected, nay, warranted.
So yeah, PC gaming community did it and made it reality, PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is coming in August!
