The changes that From Software made to the traditional JRPG formula with Demon's Souls are astounding. The pressing question is, though, does the sum of all the odd components in this title equal up to an enjoyable experience?
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
Soulsborne games are infamously difficult. But why has that difficulty been the secret sauce to success for many of these titles in the genre?
Rewarded effort feels good.
Starting out bad at something and getting better with practice makes accomplishments meaningful.
Getting through these games feels like a journey of self improvement, lol.
You only have yourself to blame if things go poorly, but in a similar way overcoming challenge is similarly a function of your own growth.
I think because the games are fair. Gamers can tell that it’s due to their own abilities and not some BS.
I've always loved the sense of adventure and wonder in these games. There's no hand holding, there are surprises and traps everywhere and you have to figure out what some items do. Beating a heide knight was like an accomplishment for me the first time and it felt good to earn that sword he dropped. I've spent hundreds of hours in souls games ever since Kings Field on PS1. The lore is incredible and it makes you think about the history of the world you're in. I can't wait for Shadow of the Erdtree.
It's the recipe of fair difficulty, presentation, boss battles and lore that attract me to these games. The From Souls games have always had a nebulous quality to them that I find fascinating. Demystifying them is a big part of the fun.
I think its the atmosphere and gameplay. Each of these games unique ways to play and unique settings/atmospheres that are in a league of its own.
There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.
8.0-8.5 is actually more where I was expecting this game to fall, all of the 9 and 9.5s have been blowing me away.
Either way I am very excited to get my hands on this bad boy, and am pleased that this game that I have been waiting for (over a year now)
shaped up to be a high caliber action RPG.
most of the people who gave it below a 9 B***h about how hard it is, i thought people wanted a challenging game, now when they get 1 they complain
cant wait for this to come out in america maybe it will cost less to ship to england than from hong kong
I really want it but cant find a good importer.
yes the chinese (hong kong) version of demon souls is all in english except manual book
