Demon's Souls is perhaps one of the most difficult games released in the past decade, and certainly the most difficult game on today's market. Players who criticise it for being too hard should perhaps stick to their health regeneration and constant first aid pick-ups. Demon's Souls is a true game for the Hardcore gamer.
A game where beating the game requires you to actually dedicate the time needed to master it. Where the endless setbacks & frustration are needed to earn the great satisfaction that comes with the rare privilege of triumph. Demon's Souls is the darkest, most sadistically fun ResumePlay has ever played.

Extremely addicting.
My #1 Tip:
Don't read walkthroughs or guides, it will completely ruin the experience. The messages and souls in-game are MORE then enough to help you. Thats why they put them there!!!
You're a Halo enthusiast and you have the gull to speak of difficulty levels and a challenge? I don't get it.
"No noobies allowed"
You've got to be kidding me. Since every 360 owner feels it's their duty to buy anything with Halo on it I'd say it's perfectly logical to assume it's the exact opposite of "noobie free". I like how you had to throw in there: "The most challenging FPS multiplayer on consoles", that's the equivalent of saying "He's the best 1 armed basketball player we know".
Halo has a thing called AIM-ASSIST. Lots of it.
And the sword lunges...
Hardcore my ass.
If anybody knows where I can get the Deluxe Ed. in Canada at a reasonable price PM me please.
(Amazon.ca has it for 200$ CAD..no joke)
"Players who criticize it for being too hard should perhaps stick to their health regeneration and constant first aid pick-ups"
Quoted for TRUTH.
Yes. No longer is having sex with a girl when boys become men. It's only after you play Demon's Souls after you get it on will you really feel like a man.
Just joking of course. Sex with girl > Demon's Souls
Sarcasm, with the amount of teenage parents out there who haven't got a clue, having sex does not equate to a boy becoming a man! =)
Woah, I just re-read what I wrote. Far too serious for a friday afternoon.
ON TOPIC! I so want this game, I love a difficult game and I love RPG's I can't wait for this title but I can't afford it right now. Hoping I'll be getting it for christmas... Scratch that. If I don't get this for christmas, I'm gonna be pissed! =)
is a slizzle
I've been playing it since April & I still haven't got any of the gold item trophies & have like 3 of the weapon trophies :/
Thats what I get for sucking and using the same stuff everytime I guess.
Now all I have to do is spend some time getting somewhere for myself! I seem to be stuck in the loop of 'offing' myself to help others, oh well tomorrow I suppose I run a gauntlet of killing two bosses. The one in Latria is easy and can be done by myself. Then I think everything else will be on part 2..
Fun game everyone must get it!
This game is taking over my life. cant stop playing it, iv found it really addictive. normally i would have beaten it by now if it was any outer game .i like helping people for points , i don't much care for playing as a black phantom tho i tried it once and i won the battle tho went on for like 15-20 mins i was a royal and the other player was a knight,great game tho i want to play it right now :P i really want a demons souls 2!! in the future.
and it's sitting there unopened
and i'm playing Demon's Souls tonight
if i havent already played and beaten the asian version of this game. i even picked it back up and restarted a new char a few days ago while awaiting my uc2 preorder to arrive from newegg. this game(DS) is just an unbelievable awsome experience. of course now that i have uc2 in the ps3, i havent downgraded my gaming one bit. :)
Demon's Souls is built upon "You're by yourself, now go and get em Son"
Much like trying to get laid for the first time. It pays off once you get there and thus find yourself wanting more.
i beat two bosses. (phanx and temple knight) i only have 2% completion and two trophies for 10 hrs of game play. i died alot and learned alot by ever death. lol when i first seen the Temple knight i almost shiated my pants.... i said to myself . how in the Rcvker can i beat this muther Rcvker. i beat him on my first try. omg all i want to say to all the people who play this game is to stay frosty/endure the learing curve of this game. i never feel so alive after beating certain sections and boss battle in a game before. demon soul is the shiat!
DON'T MISS IT!
Yes I love this game.
And started playing months ago like me. Then again it's no middle of october and I'm playing little else so maybe that isn't enough =/
Hoping it should turn up in the next few days [import].
I can't remember a game that swept in out of nowhere and really took so many people by surprise. It's a joy to see that folks do still want an absolute challenge, to better themselves and then the game - and it's been a real treat hearing tales of those learning curves and battles on here.
^-^
It's been a long time since I locked myself in my bedroom, put the phone on silent, and lost myself completely in the game. The combination of the difficulty and there being no pause really forces you to immerse yourself in the world. It's such a great experience.
I laugh at those buying games with 6hrs of gameplay for 60 bux (you know who you are) while I embark on a quest that's going to give me hundreds of hours of gameplay for the same price.
-_- not shock, it was a really big hit in Japan an the only thing people cry about the most is the fact its hard and I mean harder then any game out on the market right now.
But it keeps killing you and you keep coming back for more and 2nd time threw the game isn't going to be easy to, everything is two times more powerful and after the 2nd time things don't get as strong.
So yeah this game has alot of gameplay.
However now after beating it the first time, I have such a sense of satisfaction, as it will help you develop skills needed to master it. I am willing to say that the challenges this game threw at me, helped me develop further as a gamer which is how the game presents itself. It becomes apparent when you reach the Tower Knight that you will rise to the occasion or be crushed underneath it and fairly quick. Come check me out in the pantheon as I have ranked 1rst for most black phantoms slain in North America...cq842000 add me, but dont dare invade my game. Im waiting for you.
This game is a total gem! I am so glad I bought the Deluxe Edition. The artbook is FANTASTIC.
there are no check points or endings. There is no place in the game that feels like,"Ok, this a good stopping point." Even if you defeat a demon, you are still alive (not in soul form) and can summon people and not to mention you just probably upgraded and got something new to try out. Addictive.
I got it month's earlier ;)
I will always put the disclaimer though that if you aren't in the niche that this game was gunning for you will hate it.
I didn't think a game could be hard and not cheap. With the exception of flamelurker and maneater, it is not cheap at all.
You died because you were stupid, got frustrated and/or overconfident.
I can't get my mind out of Demon's Souls.
Theres a boss fight I actaually feel cheap, two on one & so little room to work.
Take the second one on one. Makes this much more managable.
Either that, or blow the everliving eff out of them with the Wrath of God or Firestorm.
I still think the first strategy is the way to go.
I myself shove an oversized sword down their ugly throats and cross my fingers I block at the right times.
Fire storm will make it almost too easy tho
I was actually looking for the maker as it's becoming quite popular. Ty for such a wicked banner
