Were you there in 2011?
>>732272523yeah, while playing this for the first time I thought that all the casual games that had been made for a while at that point had made me shit at video games and I was probably right.
no, 2012a friend I made through TF2 started playing PTDE on Steam a bunch and I asked him what it wasended up getting the collector's edition a month later and the rest is history
>>732272523I played demon's souls on release.
>>732272523i remember seeing this on the psn store in 2012 or 2013 and constantly confusing it with darksiders. thought the name was cool, but ended up spending my allowance money on medievil and soul reaver, both of which i played the shit out of
>>732272523I was there when the OG Demons Souls released.

>>732272523>Were you there in 2011?I was there in 2010. True story, I had a couple of friends who loved Elders Scrolls. They would never stop talking about Morrowind and Oblivion. They would on several occasions borderline force to play the games. And i always thought they were the biggest snoozefests in history of gaming. I was thinking "why are you not playing good, fun rpgs like Diablo 2?". So when Skyrim came out, everyone was talking about and i was feeling the peer pressure to play it. But I happened to find another game that had knights and dragons... Demon's Souls. It was like I was looking for an excuse not to play an ES borefest. And i thought, I will scratch the medieval RPG itch with this one. Oh boy, Demon's was a special game. And I still remember I didn't even have high hopes for Dark when it was announced. I thought Demon's was a passion project that you can't replicate. I remember reading that Dark was going to be... 3 TIMES AS BIG! And i was like no fucking way. Then came the Bartholomew trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93LFz_j5fQA
>>732272523Nah i was doing monkey madness
In Uni doing drugs and playing DeS till DaS came out for the PC.
Demon's Souls hits different
>>732272523Did oldtroons really play this at 20fps on the ps3 and 360?
I was playing Skyrim instead as I didn't have a console to play Dark Souls on
>>732272523Nope
>>732275747yes and it was KINO
>>732275747Yes. Before the official release, blind, and yes it was glorious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYwCIc0UjQThe prerelease hype was insane.
>>732275747>on the ps3to this day i maintain that the absolute definitive way to play this game is on the PS3 because of the atmosphere. when you run a game on a much higher resolution it just feels stretched and overly sharp. it ruins the ambience, you see the edges of the world. this is not a competitive game. it's more like a silent hill game, it should be a little blurry and dark.
>>732272523>I started with 1 after 3 came outCrazy that I've been a souls fan for a decade
>>732272523I played it in 2011 and got hardcore filtered because at that time I was a huge FPS faggot, mostly CoD. I literally couldn't get past Taurus demon. I wish I got to experience early souls invasion, that must have been the most fun possible. It's the only regret I have in video games.
>>732272828same, and I remember thinking>heh what a wacky game this is never going to catch onand quitting after like the 3rd boss. For some reason it never clicked for me until DS1
>>732276303No it wasn't lmao. DeS wasn't a big thing so there was no real hype for DS1.
>>732272523I got Demon's Souls in 2010 because some Gamestop employee recommended it to me, but I didn't love the game, so I haven't played a Souls game since. Kinda want to give Dark Souls a try though.
>>732276761>DeS wasn't a big thingyou were not there
>>732276608Early Souls was amazing. Everyone was shit and using whatever random weapon piqued their interest so you never felt like you invaded the same person over and over.
>>732272523The cancer of videogames... Patient Zero...
>>732276761>DeS wasn't a big thing so there was no real hype for DS1.I do remember that /v/ had generals for DeS you know before /vg/ was made.>>732276901Yea it sounds like soul and kino. I'd imagine how fun it must be invading in Sen's Fortress.
Never left
>>732276868I was there and it was not a big thing>>732276940The general public did not know what DS1 was until it released. DeS was a niche weeb thing, on par with something like NMH
>>732277126>The general public did not know what DS1 was until it releasedYea the general public but /v/ talked a lot about these games otherwise I would have never tried Dark Souls in the first place.
>>732277126>The general publicpls stop embarrassing yourself. the hype was absolute insane.
>>732272523I was busy playing the superior game, Skyrim
