Demon's Souls: Purchase or rental?

I'm a new (last 6 months) PS3 owner and just got into the great games on this console. Not big into multiplayer, but big into CRPGs (Bioware) and the old JRPGs.

Should I buy or rent Demon's Souls? Basically, is it more than 30 hours? And are those 30 hours worth owning?

Demon's Souls in anywhere in between 40-60 hours to complete. Of course, the game can be played multiple times because different events are unlocked depending on if you play as a good guy or bad guy, or if the world is "bad" or "good". This is known as world and player tendencies and they essentially unlock special events and such.

So yes, Demon's Souls is a very good purchase. There is no way in hell you will get much out of it from a rental.

I am just like you-- I dont like really short games, but long games can also be boring. Demon's Souls is certainly not boring and it's the first RPG that I've become addicted to

Nevermind the multiple play throughs b/c of pure black tendency or pure white... while cool, they only support the REAL reason for multiple play throughs. New Game +, New Game ++, and New Game +++. When you beat the game, you start over with the same character, all of your inventory, all of your magic, and all of your char levels.... so you're building up your character even more. And b/c of the world tendencies, and the choices you have to make on spending Demon Souls... it's impossible to get everything in one play through... you'll have to make choices b/w ultimate weapons or magic... or spending a Demon Sould might limit you to just one ultimate weapon & you miss out on another... Plus the enemies get tougher on subsequent play throughs and give you even more souls... so the game just gives you multiple reasons to keep coming back. It truly is addictive.

demons souls got goty on this website beating out games worth buying like U2, MW2, AC2, L4D2, BAA, DA:O, InFamous, KZ2, SMBWii i mean the list goes on and on....so you tell me if its worth a buy

I'd venture to say purchase. It's the only game I've traded in and regretted doing so. It's a great RPG and is a hybrid of games like Zelda and Resident Evil/Onimusa (sp?).

If I had ran into your thread a couple of days ago I would have definatley say Rental at most. I hated the game for the first couple of hours/bosses. It was hard and irritating. Kept dying and losing my souls. I was on the edge of taking it to gamestop to trade in. When they only offered me $15, I decided to keep it and take another crack at it.

I gotta say im glad I stuck with it. I finally get the hang of the game and its super fun. Add to the fack that I was able to summon other players to help me out with the boss fights and vice versa. This game turned out to be something special. Definately a buy.

I've currently rented it, and I'm pretty much going to buy it. Basically there's just so much in the game it's hard to do much of it during a rental. I think you can power through the game in 20 hours or so, but it really takes some knowledge about what you're doing.

it's worth buying i bought it twice.
