I vaguely remember one of the first reviews for the game being 7ish. Now I don't see any review like that listed. Is it just me? or was that review taken down or something?

whats this game about? just got my Ps3, looks like a good game from the reviewsMkavanaugh77

It's a JRPG. Said to be very very difficult, like no matter your level even the weakest enemy can pwn you, and "makes you feel it was your own fault you died".

Story?? who knows!! lol

That, or I probably confused it for another game. Most probably the latter.

Oblivion gameplay wasn't that great either. But we all know how well that did :P OT- Nice to see the game get so much praise. Can't wait for release!

doubt Demon's Souls will do well on Gamespot.

they gave Need for Speed Shift a 7 for being difficult for crying outloud.

I think what is going to greatly punish Demon's Souls is the difficulty of it.

i've already pre-ordered the game and i'm looking forward to it. fully knowing that the game will kick my butt.

it ought to have a sticker on it saying "NOTE: this game is epic and will kick your butt!"

I'm forcasting it will get 7 or 8 here on GS.

I think it will be - in my book - a 8 or 9.

sorry had to change the A word to 'butt'. so someone doesn't have a heart attack. (i mean c'mon everyone knows i was talking about the animal... not the phrase).

Story?? who knows!! lol

the enemy difficulty is exaggerated unless you are terrible at gaming, and the story is pretty much nonexistant, and what is there isnt very compelling for what you would consider a rpg to be

It seems your interested. You should read some reviews. Or are you asking the question in a "I know about the game I'm just not interested, so when I ask what's so special nothing will really change my view of the game" kind of way?

They'll probably give it a 6.5 and say "it excells at nothing!"

looks good, hopefully it comes out in the uk around mid next year so that i will be in need of a nice long game and this can fill the void. if it comes out soon, then i'll probably wait to get it.

___gamemaster__
Could someone tell me the difference between the version that is coming out to America and the version that is already out, the asian copies. Because i really want to import it, does the asian versions have english audio, etc? I live in Australia, so it's not even coming out here (I don't think). This game just looks to good!

I think that this is the GTA effect GTA is massively popular despite its horrible story, driving, shooting, fighting. etc mechanics What attracts people is the freedom the game gives and eventough nothing really excells, the freedom and ability to take things at your own pace while always feeling you are progresing in some way makes it great.

There's an asian version with english audio. I think it's the Hong Kong version. The american version will be the same but it will use different online servers so you can't play online with the people who have the asian versions and viceversa.

It's not your traditional JRPG. It's more of a WRPG made by a Japanese developer.

Will buy after price drop most likely, unless they have a demo which is solid. Extreme difficulty and frustration doesn't sound like my cup of tea. I enjoy challenge (Ninja Gaiden on Xbox is one of my favorite games) but I dont remember the media thinking NG was THIS hard.

this game will get marked down for being too difficult on GS, when it is purposely made that way for teh hardcorezzzzuh! on the other hand, it might score big due to high replay value and addictiveness!!!
