Atlus: Demon's Souls Gets Even Harder For Halloween
I've got to hand it to Atlus USA, they've been sending out some of the funniest press releases this side of Tinycorp's weekly "Reasons To Be Glad Your Loved One Is Dead" mailings.
Apparently, hella hard Demon's Souls is going to get hella harder on All Hallow's Eve, and Atlus is warning all you heroes of Boletaria that the Old One's power will grow that night:
"Early reports from the Kingdom of Boletaria indicate that the Old One's power grows," announced Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus, shuffling awkwardly under the weight of his full set of fluted armor. "We've discovered that the nefarious Demon will seek to descend the land in pure blackness on All Hallow's Eve. His minions will be more powerful, but the rewards for those who seek to challenge them will be greater as well. We don't know how long this dark tendency will last, but we do advise those prone to controller-into-LCD syndrome to proceed carefully." Jabbari then cackled as he quickly put a Thief's ring on his finger and disappeared.
The quick and dirty of tweaking the world tendency is that you'll have lower health while your foes have more health and attack power - but the loot will be better.
So if you're like me and are intimidated by challenging gameplay, maybe play a little Flower this Halloween instead. Or if you're TOTALLY HARDCORE, you know, go do that.

I thought that this game was hard enough to begin with! My transgendered Royalty Princess stands not a chance. T_T
Woohoo! I remember the first time I failed an area into black tendency. Suddenly the puny enemies were flanked by huge glowing red reinforcements. Awesome.
Now my unstoppable (butch) witch will have foes worthy of her hotness...while my soul-hemorraging archer will be EVEN more useless.
I have this on order to be imported :( Ireland shafted again :(
Bah!
I'd really like to try this game, but all the talk about the dificulty puts me off it.
Is it really that bad?
@Nexus: It's definitely a good, solid RPG, but the difficulty is definitely up there above the majority of other games. I would suggest renting it first if you're concerned about the difficulty impeding your fun.
Hmmm, I just picked up Demon's Souls the other day. I guess this weekend would probably a bad time to dive in the for the first time.
