Quit pricking your eyelids with rusty nails – a much more masochistic pastime demands your attention. Sony has teamed up with From Software to launch a beta for Dark Souls II on the PlayStation 3, and all that you need to do to participate is register your interest on the PlayStation Store. European readers will find a special ticket available to download now – just complete the free transaction and you’ll be in the running to test out the game.
Of course, if you’re looking for something a little less taxing, you may want to try starving yourself for a few weeks, or freezing yourself in a block of ice David Blaine style. We’re pretty sure that those would be much more palatable pursuits than banging your head against gaming’s most unforgiving franchise.

After playing Demon Souls I got to the conclusion that this game is not for me xD.
I don't like the fact all the money/exp that I got go away after I die.
@Epic Yeah, I'm not a fan either.
Dark Souls is this gens Battletoads??
@LDXD Agreed, I beat half of Demon's Souls without dying even once. After some grinding and equipment , spells updates. it's just some people play this game as action, not knowing that it has RPG system. And half of levels are super easy with right equipment, spells. Or maybe I just played Monster Hunter a lot =(...And also, death in DS isn't actual death.
Think I'm going to skip and wait for demon souls 2, just personal preference
Another series of games the critics praised and i thought was horrible. I sold the original copy after trading in a huge amounts of games at Gamestop just for this turd and it was sucky and unfair to boot. I got the shaft on that one. No i am not a fan got a bad bad taste in my mouth from this game, glad others enjoyed it though
Awesome! Think im going to skip Beta testing though, that way I can enjoy "finished" product.
The game it self I fell in love with (I played the dodgy PC port), I thought it was the most unique non indie title I had played in ages.
Personally, I think the difficulty is mainly hype, I didn't die nearly half as much as I expected... that being said, I am familiar with the concept of "grinding"
oh i spent quite some time with it, and the battles were epic too , i did enjoy that aspect. maybe its just the other mechanics of the game. Im sure they have tweaked them out for this one, i wont totally turn my nose up at this one.
i too have played games dating back to Atari so yea as far as fair games go you do make a valid point there haha
Yeah, Dark Souls wasn't that hard. I died a lot, but I never felt as if dying was unfair (aside from maybe that Smough and whatsamajig fight). I never did beat Demons Souls though. I didn't enjoy it as much so I guess I didn't have the motivation to see it through to the end.
Demons & Dark Souls are both excellent RPG's, in fact Demons Souls difficulty wise was dumbed down for the west which says a lot in itself. Anyway cannot wait for Dark Souls II.
@banacheck Demons Souls and Dark Souls is for ppl, who hate them self and want to punish, but don't want to feel physical pain.
