I'm officially farther in the Demon's Souls remake than I ever was in the original, now. It's all uncharted territory for me, now.

I've beaten the entire Stonefang Tunnel archstone, as well as 3 stages in the Boletarian Palace. I've also done the first two stages of Tower of Latria, which is where my new progress comes in. I've gotta go look at my trophies to see what bosses I beat in the past, but I'm pretty sure I'm farther now than I ever was. I just beat the Fools Idol and the Maneaters for the first time, and I beat Penetrator (Don't laugh) earlier today. Still gotta do the entire Valley of Defilement and Shrine of Storms areas, plus the last archstone of the Tower of Latria.

I am loving it but the fact that every boss is unique in some way is a hard balancing act. Sure, every boss is interesting and requires a different approach so it's not just 'tank the damage and you win' like you could get away with in other souls games...but if you don't know the trick or it's not working, the bosses can be an absolute mess. Plus, many of these levels have an absolutely absurd run-back to the boss arena. Flamelurker and Fools Idol both have been unpleasant, to say the worst. and I hear 4-2 Shrine of Storms has a really bad one, too.

Still love the game, I'm sure once I have one playthrough under my belt it won't be so bad. Every Souls game has suffered in my eyes on my first playthrough. Takes me a NG+ to really appreciate it all. I'll keep you all posted. Right now I'm struggling to figure out how to fix this database error I'm getting for Rock Band 4.
