[@juicejooos]

@@orangesoda4535 Think of it as the first 20 or so points in a stat are more or less the amount that a human could ever hope to achieve. With the power of souls, however, they can develop further than that, exactly beyond human imagination. It's how you manage to wield weapons from powerful beings who are way bigger than you when they require 40 STR or something. It's like when in other RPGs you have caps on stats because if you go more than those numbers it'd be incredibly unbalanced and nonsensical because there's no way your character, which is usually more or less a person with "normal" capabilities, could do the same things big bad enemies can. In Souls games, however, they already give you medium to high stats for what would be other RPGs, and instead make you level up beyond the "standard" stat cap for the whole game. It's pretty cool.

I think part of the beauty of Demon’s Souls is that intimate knowledge of the game and its quirks can get you exactly where you want to be as soon as possible. Let’s say that I make a ton of hard progress in Demon’s Souls PS3 and my little brother screws up my file somehow. It’s no real bother to me because I know where all the gear and items I want is, and I know how to deal with the game’s bosses so I can burn right through them fairly easily. It’s an annoyance to get back to that point, sure, but it’s knowledge that I kept with me from the start all the way to the end, and I’ll always have my favorite setup no matter what version of the game I’m playing.

The boss fights are a little underweling compared to Sekiro, Darksouls 3 and Bloodborne bosses that have multiple stages. Also it looks like the AI is a little bit all over the place with this boss.

[@alenezi989a3]

I don't know if you know this but the boss is supposed to be blind and will attack based on the character sounds or attacks, that's why the AI looks weird

[@ags8507]

its a sound based boss, he is also using the thief ring, which mutes all sound you make, basically breaking this boss. And this was the first ever souls game released, and they didnt bother to upgrade the ai, so its the same game from 2009, with a coat of paint, expecting multiple phases is kinda absurd when that wasnt a thing until bloodborne (was used a bit in ds2 too, but not much)

[@Carphil07]

It’s a shame you opted to go with a overpowered build just to finish the game early and upload all bosses before other channels, I understand what you’re trying to do but I think it hurts the quality on the videos and even the image of the game itself. I hope you consider reuploading in the future

Personally, I feel like the Hero either inspired, or is the Blind Swordsman from Elden Ring. 1: The obvious blindness 2: The hero has patches of hair coming from his blindfold, which is very similar to how the warrior armor and curved sword talisman from Elden potentially portray the Blind Swordsman 3: The Blind Swordsman was said to have come from an ancient tribe of warriors with a fierce reverence for water. The Shrine of Storms and the ancient warriors within it also worship water and the sea very similarly. 4: Their connection to curved swords and their proficiency with flowing movements and techniques (admittedly a bit of a stretch as the Hero kind of bashes his sword into the ground barbarically, but this could possibly be explained by the Demon possessing the Hero lacking the skill he had in life) These probably don’t mean anything, but it’s fun to think about

[@consciousnesshidden]

I was... underwhelmed. The OG Old Hero seems much, much, MUCH more intimidating than this variant. And I think it has to do with the removal of the shockwaves from his sword slash: everytime he slashed, he would force a shockwave at you, crumbling columns in the process(read: geometry cannot save you). The range and damage from that were both insane. Combined with the narrow arena, you were forced to hit him like a coward with arrows/magic, or crawl like a rat, stab once or twice, then repeat. This fight seems nerfed 🤔

[@danielarchibald9409]

It was still easy back then, rightfully so as it was the first game of its time which I played dark souls 1 first. Dark souls 1 is a much harder game than demon souls so that is probably why

[@consciousnesshidden]

@@danielarchibald9409 That is beside the point tho. Of course it would be easier, as Demon's Souls was still experimenting with this genre of action RPGs: as you said, it's the first game. However, my point was this fight is even easier than the original, not just like "I remember him whooping my ass", but as I said, he lacks THE move which forces you to go stealthy. I think you should check out a video on this boss fight. If you compare the *range* of his attacks, you'll find this one cannot hit too far out, while the OG can cover most of the arena from corner to corner in a single hit. Of course, the only "Soulsborne"-like bosses here are Flamelurker, Maneaters and the Old King Allant. The others mostly have a make-or-break gimmick. But this fight in particular is even more pitiful than the OG.

Wouldn't it fun if the boss actually reacts to sound? Ya'know? instead of just blindly walking around. Imagine if you could somehow lure him by using the sound of your weapons hitting the pillars. I'm pretty sure that's a huge missed opportunity.

[@thebulbamachine4789]

He does tho

[@TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

@@thebulbamachine4789 He really doesn't if you play. You damage him and he autotracks you for a solid 20 seconds.

⁠Dude, you must be as blind as the Old Hero himself. He DOES react to sound; without the Thief’s Ring, this motherfucker’s gonna hear where you are, since his sight is nothing.@@TheAwesomeDarkNinja

Honestly the best boss in the game.

[@michaelmannix1604]

Not saying it's a bad remake, but it's definitely... off. If I showed this to someone who knew nothing about Souls games, it would give off a wildly different impression, I think. Not as tough, not as somber, more focused on tech than atmosphere. Still excited 2 play tho

[@mitchellgoldstein1573]

It look fuckin horrible and it’s too damn bright. The ost is bad it just looks like dark souls 3 the list goes on

[@michaelmannix1604]

@@mitchellgoldstein1573 Doesn't even look as moody as DS3 tbh. This is clearly just Sony telling Bluepoint to ramp up all the color and lighting to show off the system power without taking into consideration the unique atmosphere that hooked the player. Without that, it looks no better than the clones it inspired.

[@robo003d]

I hope dark souls 3 gets this treatment, I want to fight sister Freida, Gael, Midir and nameless king again.

[@comeandgetyour187invitatio6]

@@robo003d so you want them to alter their design and soundtracks as well? You know, this is what you would get: bosses that lose everything that made them great!

The only real stealth boss in the entire series I just hate how they did not sufficiently program it enough so people just brute-force it

[@alejandroespinoza4247]

When I played the old demon souls I didn't know that he was blind and he attacks when I make a sound

[@robo003d]

I like this remake version, he's looks intense and badass

[@williamhofhansl736]

He's got hair like a super saiyan and wears what looks like ancient roman armour

[@williamhofhansl736]

@Ornithocheirus in my opinion it looks like roman armour without shoulder pads. What does it look like to you? 🙂

[@williamhofhansl736]

@Ornithocheirus thanks for replying no your not being rude I genuinely just wanted to see your opinion I believe the old hero is a traveller as his sword is the curved sword of searching. I hope have a nice day 👍

He sort of looks like Joshua Fireseed from Turok 2:Seeds of evil.

old hero looks like Wammu, and has hella piercings like wammu, and has his hair. Is Old Hero a JoJo's reference?

yes we should all just consume product and get excited for next product my fellow sony fan, bluepiss can do no wrong.

[@McCreepeh]

@@As_Expected_of_Pieck There's a subtle difference about being against a consoomer that defends a shitty product (I.E. Nintendo and Pokemon Sword & Shield, or even Sony with The Last of Us 2) And complaining about EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING, which is what you see on most comment sections of Demons Souls Remake. Like, goddamn.

[@chrismichael_music]

As a souls fan this fight disappoints me to see how easy it looks. I loved the original demon souls on PS3 but was hoping that the remake (especially boss fights) would be more challenging. This looks easier than Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

@@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop1000 The fact that you're so butthurt by someone simply saying "I prefer the old soundtrack" really proves what a fucking moron you are. Grow up, people are allowed to have different tastes and opinions. You have no right to tell someone to shut up or what they should say about a game when expressing their opinion. Maybe if you can't handle opinions you should get off the internet.
