Demon's Souls releases on October 6th, fella's. Expect some unexpected high reviews from US reviewers. Get ready to get your butt beat by this one. This game is not for the weak.

Now it's one of SW most anticipated RPG's thanks to positive player/press reactions.

I don't know. In the interviews at E3, the dude from Atlus was talking up its insane difficulty - and believe you me, it definitely has that as far as the import version goes.

I haven't been following this game, but I recently looked at the videos of this thing. I looks really cool, and I want it :).

Finally, and PS3 WRPG worth getting!

Where have you been? Have you seen the majority of import reviews and player reactions (other than my own ;))? There is no other PS3 exclusive RPG that has done this well and/or is this deep.

I'm concerned about it's difficulty. Is it challenging or is it just stupid design decision tough? While I don't mind a challenge, games that are hard just to be hard are annoying as hell to me. I like to enjoy my RPGs, not get beat over the head by them.

Not very interested, but interested enough to keep my eye on it, it does look enjoyable but I am turned off by the immense difficulty, or the rumored immense difficulty. To anyone who has played it, is it hard like NG:B or NG2? If it is that type of difficulty I'm in, but if it is just cheap enemies around every corner and the save points are far and few between I might not bother.

Oh, I'm wrong. You posted the specific date it is being released, before it was just "around october-ish" my bad.

Its not THAT hard. you just have to be smart and think about your tactical decisions. For example, you can't just run without thinking. you need to plan how to take out enemies because even one hit can hurt you. you'll need to read guides, etc. you don't need reflexes AS MUCH as you need in NG. this game is more about learning to play.

I don't play games to get punished. I play games to have fun. Punishing people shouldn't even be part of a game developers goals when making a game..

Define mistake, like a mistake whilst fighting enemies or falling into a trap. Back the beginning of a level? No checkpoints during levels?

I can't lie, this game looked like complete ass the first (and second) time I saw footage of it. But then it was getting all these high reviews and after reading them I changed my posistion. Being able to go into someone elses game and kill them is awesome.

Thanks for telling me that. I am officially disinterested. That is exactly what I was talking about when I said stupid design decision hard. That doesn't sound fun at all.

Mass effect barely counts as a RPG, and this game will score equal to or higher than it on gamespot gaurenteed.

BioWare is a godly dev but Demon's Soul is better than Mass Effect IMO.

Hopefully Dragon's Age turns out better.

some enemies knock most of your health out in one hit so if you run at it and dont block its attacks your going to get killed. The levels are not very long at the end of each one you fight a boss ounce you killed it you unlock a new respawn point and level

I doubt you'll be modded. He was just flaming for no reason. Cookigaki is a pretty good poster, as he isn't biased and posts alot cool news.

Now that's more like it :) After playing NG2, I'm sure this game's difficulty has nothing on me.

Looks awesome, but is it really as amazing as people are making it out to be?
