Demon's Souls is the best RPG I've ever played.

Im not sure I will buy it seeing as devs plan to kill it in 2010. You need a connection to play but that connection dissappears when the servers go down :(

Its the most pure hardcore RPG i played this gen so far. I played Fallout 3, both Mass Effects, Oblivion, The Witcher (havent beat it yet), FF13, Infinate Undiscovery, Lost Odyssey, Dragon Age Origins, Fable 2. It really isn't a contest this gen. You want a movie with talking or a hardcore RPG? Demon Souls is the only REAL HARDCORE RPG i played all the other you talk and watch movies with too much story etc etc. Ohh and i'm working on my platinum with Demon Soul's level 119 Royalty with 24 hours clocked starting NG+. Yes i'm that good at farming lol.

FriendlyGaimz

You bet and with the Avarice Ring equipped farming is nice ;) Some people say do the black tendancy 4-2 route but i saved so much time this way lol.

I didn't give the game a chance so I can't say if it was bad or not.

I felt like quiting so many times early in this game it was sick. At this point, i beaten the game 3 times and now working on my platinum. Keep in mind. You can play it offline or online your choice.. If you play online and get a strong co-op partner for help they can run through a level while you watch in awe lol. But in online you can be invaded by a guy with advance spells weapons etc. Its an awesome game and i pray for a sequel with minimal changes.

How long it is? I've been struggling a lot with time so i don't know if i'm going to have enough time to finish it.

it's a lot of trial and error. I consider myself good at video games but i never could get good at this particular gameGunSmith1_basic

Just best RPG?, IMO its best game of this generation so far:)

Its great. Some of the bosses were lame though, like the Dragon God. And cheap trial and errormoments are lame too.

[QUOTE="FriendlyGaimz"] Should take you around 30 hours, probably more, I had a TON of hours but I would leave the game on a lot while I was idle on the pc or eating or whatever. It's like crack lol. BrunoBRS

i wanted to be a dual sword character, but didn't take me long to realize how pointless it is in this game. about 2 deaths later and i was back to my trusty shield :P

[QUOTE="FriendlyGaimz"][QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] it actually depends on how much time you want to spend with it. the main adventure is relatively long, but you can play it over and over again with the same character (difficulty increases with each new game+, to a total of 8 i think), and you can start over and go with a completely different approach. played as a melee character with strong attack before? why don't you try a mage?BrunoBRS

Haha i never use shield so many ways to play i'm level 119 with Old Durans armour and level 10 schimitar no shield, always 2 hand sword or talismon in left hand. I have have all swords but i'm trophy hunting so the stones are sitting lol. But i have like 30 endurance and when i equipt the Dragon Bone Smasher with full armor i can roll like 25 times fast without stopping. Its just cool to switch armors swords shields etc.. So many different ways to make your character look. Quick tip guys, get your luck at 30 and farming will be a breeze and all the rare stones will be yours fast.

Its a great game and all but not the best RPG. Tbh your position on the game seems a bit extreme.

I agree, but threads like these bring out the haters. I am also currently enjoying Valkyria Chronicles. DS is a very rare type of game and an instant classic. It's a shame the server will eventually go down but it's still a superb game offline. And I agree about some WRPGs like Bethesda games and Fable 2 feeling empty. Still like ME2 though.Deathtransit

I have no problem with it being your favorite. Just you threw me off with claiming DS had soul while all the other games you played felt "soulless and pointless' and you cant describe how DS makes you feel. Seems a tad extreme in my book. No offense to you of course.

Bland World, Bland Characters, Lacking content, poor online system (not poor mechanics), and just genuinley not half as hard as mentioned, buggy, abusable. Most overated game of the year ever.Birdy09

other than calling it 'buggy' (i never had any trouble with that), id agree. i thought it was a pretty good game but certainly nothing amazing.

[QUOTE="hamzah1235"] ...So much fail...:/. All of the points you listed are the complete opposite of what all reviewers sayhamzah1235

Yeah, reviewers only do say facts, not things like opinions.

Demon's Souls is one of those rare RPGs that I love. So that either means two things -It's either the most amazing RPG ever- hence my love for a game like Planescape Torment -It's probably not a good "RPG" but it's an exceptional game and blends another genre well with its RPG Mechanics- probably why I love strategy RPGs.jg4xchamp

Its not an RPG...but yes I agree.

I agree that it's really awesome. I love the atmosphere and the enormous amount of bosses. I'd say it's in my top 3 RPGs

Seeing as this has turned slightly into a DS general discussion (at least on the last page, which is the only one I've read), I've got a quick question:

If I want to get the luck bonus from the Large Sword of Searching, do I actually need to have it in one of my hands, or can I just have it in one of my off-hand slots and have a shield equipped instead?

On topic: Er, yeah, I love DS too.

I think he's just trying to show off that he's very intelligent in the ways of RPG by saying DS isn't a trueRPG... Even though it is. And btw, I love Dexter :)

Definitely the only game worth beating more than 10 times.

i think you have to have it equiped on your persona, as in on visible on your character, i'm not sure though you can check this site though

I've played ME1 and 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion, FF13 and I think that's all this genFriendlyGaimz

You are missing the point, DS is a hack and slash action RPG, not something of the likes of Dragon Age, or something as polarizing as Fallout (not the abomination third). It sets out to do very different things, and it certainly does them well.

In a lot of ways I think it's a great RPG for people who don't really like RPGs all that much. It's a fantastic game. While it does have very deep RPG elements it focuses on the action more, and you can figure out the other stuff as you go, rather than the stats and crap being the focus and the combat failing hard, like in most RPGs.

I'm guessing you haven't played very many RPG's, then. I mean, Demon's Souls is great and all, but better than Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Knights of the Old Republic, Chrono Trigger...? Hell, no.charizard1605

Off-topic, but your sig's FF13 (360) link is linking to your Prof. Layton review.

And how dare you forget to include Tales Of in your list.

DS is probably the most addicting game I've played this gen. I must have had at least 6 NG+ on my second playthrough and I'm still missing that best bladestone weapon trophy. :P
