Okay, so I remembered a very important game that I did not mention. DEMON'S SOULS! Okay for those reading, no matter how few there are, this is seriously an amazing game. I'm not sure I agree with it being GOTY, however, in some respects I would agree with that. I have reviewed this game so for those desiring a somewhat more in depth review you can go look there. But for the purpose of a blog that isn't ungodly long. Anyway, the story of the game is somewhat lacking, and the ability to explore is definitely left something to be desired. However, as far as gameplay, sound, look, enemies, armor, etc... is concerned, this game is definitely one of the best in a long time.
Yea so it's difficult. God forbid you have to be GOOD at a game... you have to plan, stratagize, prepare, and properly execute... is that REALLY so much to ask of a player. If you ask me, the difficulty is one of the best things about this game. If you really try your best and you beat the game, you will feel far more pride for what you have done than you will for any other game at least in a long time. Seriously though, in order to beat this game you need to be smart, cunning, quick, and a little bit of a glutton for punishment.
Remember that "You're dead" screens you got in Resident Evil. Well it's the same here but it's "You Died" and you're gonna get it WAAAAY more often. Also you're gonna do the same maps quite often. However, there is much to do, discover, and best of all KILL. I strongly suggest anyone who owns a PS3 to get and beat this game at least once... oh yea, forgot to mention that after you beat it you get to do it again, but you keep all your cool equipment... and everything is INFINITELY harder! lol! It was awesome surprise to be beafed out in gear and get killed by the first trash you see... LOL! Anyway, that's my rant on demon's souls... I'm sure I'll think of more games later! Have a good one!
