Drem, you want Dark Souls. Demon's Souls is not available for the Xbox. I play the PS3 version of Dark Souls.
Griever, that's not really true. While it's not a typical multiplayer setup, it's not that difficult to play together. It does take some coordination. You both have to agree on where in the world to meet. Someone is the summoner and the other person puts down their sign and it appears in your world. It may take a few tries and can take from 30 seconds to a few minutes to finally connect but it's possible. My son and I do it all the time. There are frustrations and randomness thrown in though. If you or your phantom (the person you summon) are killed, you have to do it over again. This can be frustrating when you are being invaded by other players while waiting for your friends summon sign to appear. If you beat the boss of that zone or instance, the phantoms are all sent back home so when you get to the next area, you'll have to summon them again. While frustrating, it also makes you REALLY not want to die. That's what this game has that pretty much no other game but old NES platform games and Everquest had. Dying has real consequences. I get really pissed and yell CUNT at the screen a lot because some fucker invades me at the worst time. It's a heart pounding experience to be carrying like 800,000 souls and have some asshole invade you while you're trying to navigate some treacherous terrain or getting fucked by a room full of monsters, knowing that if you die, you have to get back to this point to collect those souls. If you die again on the way back, those souls and all the humanity you were carrying are lost forever. That's why it's almost always a good idea to have a phantom or two with you. You never know when you'll be invaded and most of the invaders are going to be much more prepared for PVP combat than you are.
