ProductReviews: Although you may have heard reports about an upcoming Demon’s Souls sequel as far back as September last year, it wasn’t until last week that the Dark Souls game – which was previously known as Project Dark – was finally confirmed as coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

No demo? How else am I supposed to try the game BEFORE I decide to buy it? That says to me that they're not completely confident in their product, why else would they refuse to let people play before spending money?
I'm just glad to get news about the game not relating to how difficult they plan on making it. I mean ok we get it, it will be hard
No demo since people would rage over it.
I don't really care about a demo since I'll be buying Dark Souls regardless. What interested me was that tidbit about the game being bigger than Demon's Souls, by 50%!
Besides throwing noobies into the world of Dark Souls might give a very bad impression. They could try to do a demo of the tutorial (if there even is one in this game...) but it might seem too easy and generic. If they place the demo later in the game the proper difficultly would be there, but it would seem crushing to someone new to the series.
who cares if there is no demo! You can get Demon's souls for cheap now. Buy that and if you like it you will love Dark souls. I know I will love this game without needing to play the demo.
