Enter a dark, dystopic world where you've gambled away your life a long time ago. Demon's Souls is the roleplaying game more exciting and terrifying than most horror games.
(Demon's Souls, PS3)
8/10
It's kinda funny... While playing this game at times it totally reminded me of the old King's Field games. I used to love King's Field, and even though these games don't appear to have anything in common, there was just something about Demon's Souls that reminded me of the old KF games.
In the most recent issue of Game Developer magazine they talk about the top 30 developers, and they mentioned that the maker of Demon's Souls was the same company that made King's Field back in the day.
Anyone else played both that can speak to why they still seem to feel the same despite how different they are? I can't seem to put my finger on it.
That game is awesome, the platforming and amount of customization is just great. The fact that all of this will carry over to 2 makes it even better and would be great for you and your GF to. Loads of content to play around with :p.
Absolutely love this game. My favorite game this generation hands down. Did this game remind anyone else of the SNES Secret of Mana? I mean think about it, both games are action/rpgs with a good multi-player element and an awesome weapon upgrade system. Granted that DS is a lot darker in its setting, but they have similar elements. Maybe its just because I enjoyed both games so much.
IMHO this game is more epic than God of War III ( and I love GOWIII ), it makes you feel so little and defendless at the start and so powerfull when you kill a boss ... It' s priceless!
First time I fought tower knight was EPIC. There is no other word to describe it properly. Granted I died the first time I fought him but still...EPIC. When I finally did beat him the since of accomplishment I felt was off the scale. The only thing I could even compare it to is when I beat the final boss in NES Zelda II: Adventures of Link. Totally exhilarating.
Get rid of your armor, first of all. Run and hit the first obstacle until it breaks. Run back and wait for his attack to be over. Then run, break the next obstacle and continue to safe spot. For the rest, just use the pillars to hide behind. If his eyes are yellow, he can't see you.
Here's a hint... Look at his eyes His eyes change colors depending on whether he can see you or not. No lie...
When you're in cover and they're one color, it's safe to sprint to the next hiding spot. When he sees you, his eyes will change - That means hurry your butt to cover
Also, dual wield your weapon to get through obstacles quicker

because the developers that made this game(from software)made king's field.
