Rather demon's soul2?
Demon's soul the game that forever changed the prospective of many video gamers (and developers) on how a challenging game should be. well it loudly sceamed 2 years that the game should be punishing hard, dark, sad and unfair. all u could ever hear was the echo's of agreement among many gamers world wide and I was one of them.
BUT, the main question remains unanswered, does Dark souls, the soul successor of Demon's soul compare to its origin? well It's rather more of a demon's soul 2. meaninng that the game sticks so much to its soul predecessor, in a way that makes you love it and hate at the same time. The begininng is similarly vague and unclear, there is a HUGE castle and ***SPOILER***
a dragon flying over it, the class system is pretty similar, Heck even the noises are?!!! if u were planinng to replay the original then u got ur chance except this time the replay got harder (The best imprvement in Dark souls), bigger that u get lost easly, and faster. hopefully the game will show some sign of change as I venture deeper into it (Finger crossed), and will give me the shiver that chilled down my spine in the end of each mission (just got killed by a Boss 20 mintes ago and lost my souls):
P:S. health bar wont decrease after death (:
