Endsights: Demon's Souls Review (PS3)

Endsights' Nate Seites had this to say about Demon's Souls: "Demon's Souls is an action RPG like no other. This game will challenge you on every front, but if you stick with it, this will be one of the most satisfying games you play this year."

The PS3 has such an incredible lineup it's almost disgusting. M$ is in trouble

He actually quits playing Demon's Souls because he can't pass the first boss (not the one that supposed to kill you; the one after that)... LMAO!!!

Earlier in the walkthrough, you should hear how pissed he got when he found that he lost all of his souls after he died. Ahahaha!!!

Demon's Souls broke him!

EDIT @ Sarcasm

NO! Do not resist... Give into your lust... for Demon's Souls beckons you... Mwahahahaa!!

Sarcasm5310d ago

Must... resist... urge... to buy...

Uncharted 2 is only a week away!!!

thereapersson5310d ago

Buy both of 'em, Sarcasm! You can safely say with pride that your PS3 is getting all of your hard-earned gaming dollars this fall. :)

Consoldtobots5310d ago (Edited 5310d ago )

got my copy today and started with a templar knight and a HUGE swing ax.
Haven't put the game down since. Not only is MS in trouble but I think Bethesda better bring the noise with the next elder scrolls or they will have been officially dethroned as the action RPG kings.

Consoldtobots5310d ago

lmao @ the guy in the video, WHAT A NOOB, my kid beat the first boss on his first try. Just set his sword on fire and slashed and stabbed the crap outta him. some people fail so HARD....lmao.

Sarcasm5310d ago

I'm resisting the urge now, but I know once I walk around the store and browse the PS3 section, I'll end up buying it.

jut4205310d ago

@ jaces
I know, 2 more days, I can't wait. 2 weeks ago two days from now seemed like an eternity, plus with all the great reviews it's been a painful wait. The only bad thing I've heard about this game is how unforgivingly difficult it is, but I love challenging games which has me even more excited.

The Killer5309d ago

its almost like they forgot about it!!!

not many people know about it, but i guess their money is on uncharted 2 now and later they will shift the focus to this game, also word of mouth will help.

JoySticksFTW5309d ago

Sony's hasn't really been at the top of their game when it comes to advertising their gems. Though it could be argued that Sony would rather allocate that money towards first and second party exclusives, which I think we've been seeing the benefit of.

Heck, Uncharted looks to be a monster GOTY candidate - but there's people who can't decide between it and Demon's Souls (so far exclusive third party) to purchase first. Then you have games like the new Ratchet around the corner. Wallets are suffering this year.

Though I think word of mouth will help, there are those gamers that are getting scared off by this game's rep.

At the end, I think that this may end up like one of those slept on / under the radar games that people regret not picking up years later. And search for on eBay like Ico, XenoGears, Vagrant Story, and Marvel v Capcom before the online re-release

Raf1k15309d ago

Any word of a UK release?
(a PM reply would be welcome) :D

nix5310d ago (Edited 5310d ago )

yup.. one of the 8 exclusive titles that sits in Top 20 in metacritic.

one just has to compare the quality of exclusives PS3 and 360 has irrespective of how biased most of the industries are. does the so called "voices of the gaming industry" want to take the industry back or forward? worst is seeing the GTAIV topping the list with 98. even a kid knows that game was a failure. tch.

Noctis Aftermath5310d ago

I couldn't care less about GTA4, i think rockstars next great game will be Red Dead Redemption, it has you playing as a sheriff set in the wild west or something similar. http://www.rockstargames.co...

JonnyBigBoss5310d ago

Awesome game. I gotta get it ASAP.

Robearboy5310d ago

Does anyone know if or when this is due for a UK release, its not listed on Amazon

MazzingerZ5310d ago (Edited 5310d ago )

nop, it's not and I don't think it will never be, with so many version you can now import only a fool wouldpublish a game that you can even get at online retailers as an import.

I've preordered mine at Ebay UK to deliver to Scandinavia next week. Fair price.

Anyway, if you buy the imported copy makes sure it's the US copy the one published by Atlus otherwise you won't be able to play in the same servers as the US...and even receive future patches I think.

gamejediben5310d ago

Okay now I'm officially impressed. This game wasn't even on my radar but after so many perfect and nearly perfect reviews, I am forced to pay attention. 2 more days to go!

dalibor5310d ago (Edited 5310d ago )

Same here I wasn't planning on getting Demon's Soul but now I have to check it out. Oh by the way since I am a gamer who likes to help others, I will leave helpful notes for everybody(cool feature imo). I will even address one saying.. "Dalibor was here... who posts on N4G.com" for the hell of it.

gintoki7775310d ago

I was going to get this game as an import but it was constantly out on play-asia so then gdc came along and demons souls was announced and now ive waited till up to this day.

The game was backordered on play-asia for 5 months!

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC3d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier3d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k43d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy853d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga3d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS72d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

RonnySins3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Killing it my a$$! The 1st party is still MIA and no... Remakes and remasters don't count.

andy853d ago

I mean they literally do count. Imagine saying FF7 Rebirth doesn't count 😂

Tody_ZA3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Andy85 Don't forget the remakes for Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, two of the best PlayStation games around!

And beyond PlayStation, what about Resident Evil 2 and 4? RonnySins wins the award for dumbest opinion!

raWfodog3d ago

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto3d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies3d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS72d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast3d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo3d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.

The 7 Best Co-op Games on PS5

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.

Cacabunga96d ago

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg96d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga96d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
