I really really want to play this game, but the only things that bugs the hell out of me is that it wont support party chat or private chat on the 360 version. It's like WTF I'm not allowed to communicate with my teammates playing co-op??? If you do join the party session it will kick you to the main menu. Just a little FYI to anyone getting the 360 version.

This is why Dark Souls should just Xxclusive to PlayStarion. Your the 1st 360 gamer to say, matter fact its the most common complaint of the Xbox crowd. Demons/Dark Souls is not coop or a Multiplayer game... its a primarily Single player game with online elements. communication/teamwork without words is a Big Theme for these games

What the hell type of reason is that? Guess what, no cross game chat it's a legitimate reason to be annoyed by something like this. I understand PS3 owners don't give a rats ass because they don't have Party Chat so it's no skin off their bones, but for someone that uses cross game chat nearly everytime they jump online, it's pretty annoying especially when you want to comunicate with teammates.   

You will not have "teammates" in Dark Souls, this isnt a shooter game, this isnt get you buddies and play Gears.. no no no. Dark Souls is a single player game with a theme of "Lone warrior" yea theres multiplayer but notice ther is no true multiplayer.. thats for a reason. You and rest of 360 owners who are also complaining,dont understand the concept off this game. This is not buddy game. Having chat would completely kill the tension and fear aspects.

while i totally agree on your explanation, and the fact that your average 'Gears Guy' may not be the customer Dark Souls is aiming for, i still think the 360 has an audience, capable of appreciating this game properly. it should be almost a fact that the Ps3 version outsells the 360 version for the obvious reason that Demons Souls, its predecessor (We all know that From Software is saying that for the single reason not to get sued by sony) was an PS3 exclusive game, but still, i think we will see a nice Lifetime  Number for our fellow 360, that makes the Efforts of a multiplatform development an investment well worth the effort. And more customers are never a bad thing, it raises the Userbase, makes the 'Souls Series' even more famous among core gamers of either Console, and raises the chance to see a sequel, the third 'Souls' game. (before some BeatEmUp Maniacs go mad - Souls: From Software. / Soul: Soul Calibur.. and no, i wont accept any other term for the combined naming for From Software's best RPG Franchise ever. <.< deal with it :D )

.. oh gosh, i hope its halfway understandable what i mean, my engurish is totally broken when it comes to the proper use of some of the words above lol.

 

edit: Since it looks like Bosses will be capable of killing the player with a Single blow, i really think about wearing heavy armor.. which i didnt in Demons Souls, since it wasnt THAT relentless.. at least i dont remember bosses killing me that quick. (Or, IGN and most of the Youtuber are total NOOBS.. :X)
