I need help!!! ive been reading reviews about ps3's demon's soul so i decided to buy the game and i think ive bitten more than what i can chew. this is hands-down, bar-none the hardest game ive played in the playstation series, i must have died more than 100 times in the first level, heck even the tutorial will kill you. im now at soul level 42 and have been grinding (leveling up) by repeatedly defeating the skeletons in level 4-1 but now a new enemy pops up at the start and i cant even reduce his life to 3/4, i take two hits then im dead. why do these black phantoms appear? they dont seem to be part of the usual enemies, do they appear to stop you from continuing with the stage so you can finish others first?

hope someone else here plays demon's soul cause i need all the help i can get, but beware if you buy this game, ive almost thrown my controller at the tv it is that frustrating
