This is a day one purchase regardless of reviews.

As far as what they can improve, I'd say:
1. Rework the online component. It just needs to be easier to connect with your friends. All they need to do is make a party type system rather than making players drop soul signs to get summoned.
2. Less glitches, particularly how you can kill some bosses with cheap tactics (Maneater and the False King come to mind).
3. Improved balance- At first, Demon's Souls seemed very balanced, but, as I played more, some of the problems became pretty glaring, particularly in PvP.
4. Combo variation is always welcome as well. Demon's Souls is fun, but it would be better if there was some more variation in what combos you can use.

With that said, this is still my most anticipated title, and I plan on pumping a lot of hours into the game.


Definitely good points and I do plan on spending loads of hours!

Also, don't shun me for this, but I feel that voice chat in some way may be nice. Maybe like with people on your friends list who have been on your list for more than month or any other variation?

Because they give it a good score.

Apparently Japan (Those damn Japs(No racism lol)) gets it this month on the 22nd, and they can't just release a written review for us to translate too, it's like they want me angry =l

Lol well if thats the case i'm sure some American reviewers will get to review it early. So about a week more before you get an actual review you can read?



For comparison sake, Demon's souls scores are :

Famitsu :
9/7/7/6 = 29/40
Dengeki:
85/95/85/85

It Looks like Dark souls is a serious improvement over Demon's souls, and that's one of my favorite games of all time.

Ya I suppose that makes some sense, maybe 2 weeks at max? Still hyped, though this supposed to keep me busy until Zelda!

Well i'm sure it will keep you buys! Heard it was 5 times the size of Demon's Souls. 

 

Anyways I hope Vgchartz has Dark Souls as one of the prizes for next month.
