The reason I love this game so much is that, it takes so much effort to beat the game through one playthrough (I've gotten to new game+++++ since I've started) but it seems like the type of game that only the people who are persistent will see how amazing the ending of the game is (CGI, Story, Events). I feel as if not many people are going to see the end and I feel privledged to have been able to make it that far. Those are the kinda games I like :>

As for reviews, I see many mainstream sites like gamespot giving it a low score due to difficulty, however, I have a feeling IGN might know what's up and might rate it pretty high (7.5-8.5ish).

I will get this on day one, but it sounds like it will take me forever to beat, and i know i am going to get very frustrated, but yet i cant wait for the game.

If there's any game that makes the PS3 stand out, it's Demon's Souls. Not worth 400 dollars though.

What makes the 360 worth $300 + $50 per month per ID, $100 to add WiFi, $200 to add a HD Movie player, $15 per controller to make it rechargable etc. The PS3 gives you $700 worth of hardware for $400 and free online to boot.

You don't need Live, Wifi, and or HD player to play games. They're options. Unlike what Sony gives you.

yeah, but the 360 is virtually useless wthout this particular feature. You can still play games without live, but you wouldn't be getting the bulk of what your money was spent since m$ basically built the 360 around XBL

Why don't you add a TV to the 360 list, and a couch, maybe a house while you're at it. Anyway, Games I can play with my friends is the hugest factor for me, besides the fact that I buy a console soley for gaming purposes, and the 360 seems to do the best job in that department in terms of consoles.

And since a lot of games follow the trend of going Xbox 360 first, and then PC, I don't like waiting so I just have that option available

then you m must find Twitter, Facebook, and Netflicks add-ons very useless

Sorry, I don't like this game. It's just a chore to play. Glad others do, though.

People who have trouble using their brain while gaming are the ones complaining that it is too hard.

What isn't all that about it? I mean, I'm not saying I believe you imported it yet since you had a hard time answering simple questions about it in other threads but what makes this game a chore for you? What weapons have you tried upgrading or what method did you use for spending souls? what dungeon did you finally decide that this game was a chore?

I'm not surprised, I just don't believe he imported it.

every time someone imports the game there's many things that need clearing up since there's no english manual. Like world and character tendencies and how to upgrade weapons/invest stats/how to get to 1-3. Never seen him once on the demon's souls forum and the only real reason I can see this game being a chore is you can't button mash or rush through like many action-rpgs...you have to be strategic with each type of enemy.

Demons Souls is the best RPG ive played this Gen and it should score off the charts IMO. It wont beat out UC2 for GOTY though.

They are two totally different style RPGs, having played both, Demons Souls is much better for the hardcore RPG gamers. Its really hard to compare these two games due to how different they are. Demons Souls is a AAAE game and will score at least a 9.0 here on GS.

The tile is grammatically correct and it means the souls of a demon. English is not even my first language and I can understand that.

itll score A-AA tops on gamespot. Its a good game, i wouldnt say the best rpg this gen, but a good one at least. not much in ways of customizing your character, and all the classes end up being the same in the end. Difficulty ranges from stupidly easy to insanely difficult, very noticable when you go against the bosses, as some are complete cakewalks and others you have to almost get lucky to beat. not a big fan of the online system they have, being able to see how people died is cool and stuff, but when you are playing and someone breaks into your game and kills you or makes you waste time, you start to get tired of it.

yea i must have got a little lucky or something, I also think world 4 is the most likely for you to be invaded. other then part of world 3 (for obvious spoilerific reasons). I could see it getting annoying it it happened a lot though and I'd just play offline for awhile though. I can't really put a finger on why, but this is one of those rare games that slows my plat trophy whoring habit.:lol:

How about Eurogamer? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/demons-souls-reviewI suppose you know better than they do as well, aye? Better yet, I bet you have not even played Demon's Souls, therefore, how can you judge either way?

that's a very promising review, and one of the main reasons i'm so interested in the game

It's an opinion not a scientific theory.

Not a reputable opinion.

It's metacritic listed, that's all that matters (to publishers). Did you even read the review? It's an opinion. You either agree with it or you do not. Try reading different websites, broaden your horizons - you might even surprise yourself.
