It's more the fact that people are going to buy this game without really knowing what they're in for. They're going to charge at a group of 3 minion enemies thinking to despatch them without taking too much damage and wind up dead. It's no arrogance on the part of people who've played the game, it's knowing that people like the one who asked about multiple game saves are going to be surprised by what they find. Those people will either end up hating the game or loving it.

People who've merely even read forum threads about Demon's Souls and understood the nature of the game without every having played it will be going in with their eyes open. So it's nothing to do with having played DS. 360 / PC only gamers can prep themselves for Dark Souls easily enough without having to play Demon's Souls first.

Telling people who've never played Demon's Souls that it's easy is not very good prep. Because people who hear that it's easy mostly have the standard ARPG frame of reference for what's easy so it's not really all that helpful to tell people who've not experienced Demon's Souls that it's easy. Sure, it's easy when you know how to play it properly and you respect the game. But if you don't play it properly then you get your arse kicked.

I never got the thief's ring on the first time. It's not needed for a soldier either way. Prior to actually starting out the game at 1-1, I gave the Knight, Wanderer, Royal, and Soldier a test run in training. I liked the soldier best thanks to the spear.

NIce attitute though. "I suck, so he MUST suck as well :D :D :D :D, anytyhing else is either checking stuff out on the internet or lies XD XD XD XD"

It's more like "many people gave up and here we have yet another (boring) champion claiming he went straight through it". The average player found that game very hard if not impossible. Playing Demon's Souls like one plays Oblivion is sure death. You passed 1.1 in two rounds? Very good for you. You must be naturally skilled. I still find hard to beieve that just the training session gave you the clue about the game mechanics. I passed it myself without dying and then I failed 1.1 miserably. But that's ok. Still this doesn't change the fact that Demon's Souls has a long learning curve. That experience is made through death. And that anyone bragging "I made it in a couple of rounds, thus is not that hard" is annoying the least.

Regarding starting online, not having checked any guide apart from hints about which was the best class to start (so since I like magic I chose Royalty, but I believe now Temple Knight is much better for beginners), I could have no clue that there was such a thing like world tendency: Even less that it could change "as a gift". I nearly ignored the message when it appeared. Only after days I understood what it meant. Oh, now I remember: it was the Halloween special event. Bloody Pure Black World Tendency since the beginning. Check my trophy list (PSN: Michelasso) if you don't believe me. First trophy: November 3rd, 2009.

Now feel free to brag away. Thank you.

No, there still isn't one.
