[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"]Don't get Demons Souls, everyone says it's great because they want to brag about how they beat it but what they're really thinking is how incredibly repetitive the game is.oldkingallant
Uh ya that's why I was saying it was my favorite game ever when I only had half of the levels done and was getting absolutely worked in the next level up right? Even when I sucked I loved it. Every game is repetitive, in Mario you jump form platform to platform a lot, in Half-Life you shoot things a lot, in whatever random JRPG is in your avatar, you choose attacks then click on an enemy a lot. It's all about how fun the core concept is and Demon's Souls has a very fun core concept and it's incredibly addicting. I would go full 10 hour runs just to beat a few levels and even when I was getting my ass kicked I'd keep going back for more. Ya I beat it but I don't wanna brag about it... only once when I was arguing with someone and they were saying I sucked at video games (note: idgaf if I suck in the first place...) because I was saying Modern Warfare 2 is unbalanced.... then they said Demon's Souls was the hardest game ever... then I said I beat it... but that's it. Everyone who owns it here has beaten it pretty much, it's not a life changing achievement, you beat a frickin game.
Oh wait... opened your profile... you are a Lemming or something who trolls PS3 games judging by how inFAMOUs is rated a 6.5, DS a 6.5, and Killzone 2 a 6.0. Nothing to see here, just another troll. Or someone with very very bad taste in games I'm not quite sure. Also, you called Demon's Souls shallow... that's very funny, you must not have a good mind for RPGs if you find it to be cheap. Combat is nicely varied by the way, magic, archery, and hand to hand combat are all existent, not just hand to hand like you seem to say. Enemy models are extremely varied, they don't all have swords and swing at you.... and unfair deaths? Translation: "I suck at this game and will blame it on the game not my crappy skills," I've logged well over 100 hours and have yet to encounter a death that wasn't my fault.
Before I get started on your fail of a post, I would like to point out that the "random JRPG in my avatar" is in fact FF7, why are you even on GS if you don't know this? You said every game is repetitive, yes but not to the extent where I play a level for half an hour and then die and have to repeat the whole thing over again, at least shooters or whatever else you think is repetitive have varying level design or in online play it's not always exactly the same. And just because I don't like certain PS3 exclusives which GS judges to be good I must be teh trolling leeming, despite barely ever playing my 360 (check out all my reviewed games). Demons Souls is not hard, anybody could beat it if they continuously played it, I had beaten about 5 bosses when I decided I couldn't be f****** doing the same thing over and over again, does that make me have crappy skills? I'm not like GS, I don't consider an 8.5 a flop so when I give a game a score of 7.0 I would say that game was 'good' as the score says, just because I don't give all your favourite games 10.0 doesn't mean I have bad taste.
demons souls is like having a job, and not a good one either. the only reason it does not get called out for the horrible experence it is because to do so means you lose your coveted status as teh hardcore.
seriously rent it first.
Ummm I WISH my job was playing Demon's Souls... it took a while to get everything going in Demon's Souls but once you've got the hang of it it's like crack and playing levels over again in New Game + has this strange quality that makes it feel fresh every time. I poured hours upon hours into that game and it was all fun. You must not be a very patient gamer, must've started gaming recently. Seriously, you just assume that if somebody doesn't like Demons Souls they are somehow inexperienced or have teh crappy skillz, grow up.
Demon's Souls is awesome once you figure out how to play it properly. Even then, it's still miles above the Transformers game, even if you are a fan of the show.
