Is that a question for me?!

Hey Jerry you should play Enter the Gungeon if you haven't already. It's in my top 5 of all time. It's a masterpiece. Though that might be PS4 or steam, not sure since I play on Switch.

I have watched a tip video or two about Demon's Souls.
I feel much better about continuing my play through now.
COOL!

OK!
I now understand the appeal!
For all of the shortcomings that I have previously mentioned, there seems to be an overwhelming sense of dread quickly followed by satisfaction during gameplay. The emptiness is now a feature!
WOW!
I entered an archstone that seems to be a prison with spellcasting guards. They are very ****in' scary!

I am glad to hear you are coming to appreciate some of the strange appeal of this series of games. Have you considered playing it on live stream using a scare camera?

What is a scare camera?!
Like, a Blair Witch kind of thing?!

It's based on an idea by a man called Pew Dewpee. You put a camera in front of your face and then every 30 seconds even if nothing is happening you scream as loud as you can to scare the viewer. You would probably need to warn your family and neighbors so that the police aren't called. I don't know how Dewpee avoided that.

Demon's Souls was definitely a relic of its time. Didn't really age well. Still play Dark Soul 1 a lot though. I resonates with me, the other two weren't bad but not as memorable to me. Love the characters though. Even if it took dozens of replay to catch all the story.
Praise the sun!
Playing through Fallout 4 a second time. Beat it a few days ago but rushed through it. Bethesda really needs to just sell it and the elder scrolls but not sure who would do
them justice anymore. Probably go back to Age of Empires 2 or one of the total war games after I get bored.

i tried playing some age of empires 2 a few months ago after learning that sandy petersen the creator of doom worked on it (i think specifically he directed the expansion).
tbh i could not get into it at all. going through the same beats of cutting trees, building barracks, building houses, building more guys had me dying of boredom before i was done the first map. i used to love this as a kid but every rts since has been the exact same game.
i feel like once you learn about the zerg rush you can never go back to pretending all this base building and resource management is anything but busywork. especially with such slow units in empires i'm not sure there's actually any tactics in play.

Ummm...
I watched a couple tip videos and now I'm ****in' HOOKED!
This game is AMAZING!

No offense to TW Danger who seems like a fine upstanding young lady but when someone says a game feels "Dated" or "Didn't age well" I think perhaps YOU didn't age well, because video games don't age at all! It's the exact same game it was in 2009 when it was released!

Yep!
Consider some humility and introspection before you start trashing a ****in' masterpiece!

Status update:
I have beaten the Adjudicator and now have the aforementioned shield and the Crescent Falchion.
I want to kill the Red Dragon in 1-2 with arrows but have become somewhat careless in my play resulting in numerous deaths.
****!

bowl of blood,
I have now beaten 1-1, 1-2, 4-1, and traveled deep into the Palace of Latria, among other levels.
When the hell do I need better armor?! I'm certainly having a tough time progressing but it doesn't seem to be for a lack of equipment.
WHOA!

Fluted Set is awesome but heavy. Early game armor that can last many new game cycles. Current build on the PS5 is Bramd hammer (possible spoiler if you google), I like the heavy stuff. Very fun game.

The Palace of Latrine? I don't want to know what's going on there!
Unfortunately I played Dark Souls, not Demon's Souls, so I don't have a lot of advice. Usually in these games, tanking hits is NOT THE RIGHT APPROACH! I'm guessing that if anything your armor is too heavy.
Are you aware of the Fat Rolling system? Rolling fast is more important than having lots of armor I think.

Between 50% and up to100% weight = fat roll, a slow, awkward like 1/2 forward, 1/2 sideways roll
greater than 100% weight = no roll, if you try to roll it looks like you sneeze and then do not roll.

Do you think you would be able to somersault while wearing a medieval knight's armor?
I think a lot of ITGs (Internet Tough Guys) who claim to be good at these games just watch videos on youtube of how to beat all the bosses. I'd rather lose honestly than win like a coward, but that's the attitude of a lifelong sucker!

Sorry!
Tower of Latria. OOPS!
