I love how the reticle has changed. Instead of a black dot with a fine corona around it it's now more of a glowing circle. Easier to see. What I'm left feeling from the video is that it's more of the same...just with different enemies and locations. I think that's awesome.
Now I'm really intrigued to see how they've implemented MP this iteration.
Also we won't have the Nexus and any of the worlds. All open sandbox style

It's not a cheat. Just saying. And I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut the EXPLOIT has been removed.

Wiki
An exploit, in video games, is the use of a bug or design flaw by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers.[1] It is often colloquially abbreviated sploit. Exploits have been classified as a form of cheating; however, the precise determination of what is or is not considered an exploit can be controversial. This debate stems from a number of factors but typically involves the argument that the issues are part of the game and require no changes or external programs to take advantage of them.[2]
I believe here at NOM we ruled that a cheat.

Ok, I watched up until the start of the game.
What classes are you guys looking at being?Here is the Wiki which has all the atributes for each class Wiki DS Classes
Warrior – a fearless warrior and weapon expert with high strength, and dexterity.
Knight – a low-ranking knight with high HP and solid armor that is not easily toppled.
Wanderer – an aimless wanderer with high dexterity that wields a scimitar.
Thief - a guilt-ridden thief who deals high critical hits and has a Master Key.
Bandit – a savage bandit with high strength and wields a battle axe.
Hunter – a bow-wielding hunter who can handle close-range combat, but is vulnerable to magic.
Sorcerer – casts soul sorceries and from the Dragon School.
Pyromancer – casts fire spells and wields a hand axe.
Cleric – casts healing miracles and wields a mace.
Deprived – unclothed and starts the game with a club and old plank shield.
Ah, the poor deprived class with only a loincloth for armor. Dark Souls lets player customize their character’s face and body type. New characters don’t start the game empty handed. In addition to basic weapons, players get to pick a present.
Also what are some good DS names:

I like Thief over Wanderer. Thief is a level 6 as opposed to a level 3 with only a small sacrafice to Vitality, Endurance and Strength. The thief gets a higher faith, which will allow them to use faith based magic.
Thief seems to be a fast, critical hit kinda guy who can also handle magic.
The Deprived class is interesting no doubt. Level 6 with atributes of 11 across the board. Wonder how hard it is to play with just a wooden club and a loin cloth before you can get some real weapons and armor?

I'm wondering how the levels play out.
Is it truly an open world sandbox? Instead of the Nexus, we travel in game from it to the outer areas of the worlds? Or are there still loading screens / dungeons and map sections?
Been trying to keep away from media as not to spoil. Same with U3.

I've been watching that 41 minute clip I posted earlier from GamestopAU, and it looks exactly like the first one. There are white light doors you go through to get into a new area. The video only shows the first few minutes of the game, so if you watch it you won't be getting any spoiler info, really...

It just sucks that you can't be a pure melee character. You'll never survive without a powerful ranged attack of some kind.

I see what your saying but I was a Blessed (or whatever the faith based warrior was) Warrior. Tons of strength and I had it quite easy til about mid way through and then I started to have problems but I did finish the game and got to NG+. So, you can do it Benny. Strong shield, armor and a good sword or lance type weapon worked well for me.
I wanna go more speed, agility this time around but I don't know what secondary style I want. This is why the Deprived class seems so appealing to me right now.

Having a ranged attack certainly helps...especially early on. That's why I went to Royalty in DS. Having Soul Arrow at the beginning made it a cake walk.

Having that Soul Arrow made it silly easy. I remember you just walking all over those early levels. I had to fight and earn it but it wasn't throw your controller in the drywall crazy, that came later in the swamp levels. I just got chills

I do kind of hate how agility/stamina was mixed with the stance break in Demons Souls. You could have a beast of character as far as power and weapon wielding, but his stamina would be drained quickly and a few swings from a more balanced character and he would stagger his stance, leaving you open.
It was also paired with run speed, so it's how it needed to be, but separating the two would be something I'd hope for in Dark Souls.
A brute weapon wielder shouldn't be able to move fast/long at all due his power, but he also shouldn't stagger when hit, and be able to parry very easily.
