Guardian: "The story behind Demon's Souls is almost unheard of nowadays. Released 15 months ago in Asia, it has travelled the world by virtue of nothing more than sheer brilliance and word of mouth. It inspired such passion in its players – and in critics – that thousands bought import versions before the game's western releases were announced. I was not immune." -

Shame on Sony for not seeing the potential of the IP and getting it out sooner everywhere, but kudos for Atlus and Namco for bringing it everywhere else.
I think once DS2 get announced you will see Sony publish it WW. Sales were great, they wont let Atlus or who ever get their money again.
I believe so
I feel the same way. I've just bought it, not played it yet. I know I will find it difficult and fustrating, but I just heard so many good things about it and it seems to be worth a shot. :)
I was suprised why Gamespot gave GOTY back then,but when I got my own copy,I was a very happy man.Interestingly the most people I know who bought this game doesn't have a Ps3 beforehand,and most of them are Pc gamers.
Demon's souls vs NES games comparison fall hard since most NES games are difficult because of their bad game design,while Demon's souls is intended to be very difficult but also very fair.
The game just sat in my Ps3 for a month,before I changed it to something else since I bought new game.Even that,I go back to Demon's souls not long after it.The last time I'm ever obsessed with video game is back when I was playing Fallout 2.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't get past the first sentence of your post without deciding to reply to it.
"Demon's Souls is the best rpg ever released this generation,hands down."
I know that this is all subjective, and far be it from me to try and change someone else's views about what is good, but then you say,
"Stop complaining about lack of JRPG this gen when the best JRPG is already here,and its name is DS."
And that's where I began to think that maybe *you* don't consider your opinion to just be subjective. Now, there has been quite a few RPGs released this generation, and many of them have received far greater acclaim than Demon's Souls, and far better sales. And even though critical reviews and sales don't really mean anything, they do act as supporting evidence for a claim. So, if you are to say that Demon's Souls is the best RPG of this generation without any evidence other than, "I say so" and then tell other people to stop complaining about a lack of RPGs, then you're just doing it wrong.
I played Demon's Souls for about a month before I submitted to the reality of the game. It's not open-world, there's no in-depth story, and too much of my play time is spent recovering my souls and making up more my mistakes, which is not exactly fun. It's a chore for me. But hey, if you guys like Demon's Souls, that's fine. I just don't like it when people say, "It's the best RPG, and if guys don't like it then you're pussies."
After you beat the first boss just leech off of online players lol.
If you REALLY suck (and I doubt you do, it just requires a little patience), then play with other guys online, it's real fun.
Anyways, beating the first boss is a tremendous joy unlike any other. Don't give up on Demon's Souls.
Demon Sous is a very rewarding game even through its extreme difficulty.. like say the dragon god in 2-3.
It's gone from a cult classic to a mainstream game. It's by far one of the best RPGs of this generation.
I purchased the collector's edition of this game and let it sit in it's wrapper for a few months...finally opened it and threw the disc in and was amazed......addictive game....took me two character builds to get it down...takes patience to play, but is one of the most rewarding games out there.
Is one of the most challenging and rewarding games I've ever played. Its toughness reminds me of those NES games that were so impossible they almost made you cry as a child.
i feel privileged to have played and beaten this lovely rpg(twice and counting lol). now this is a real hardcore gamer's game. it separates the frag heads from the true gamers.
i beat the first level in like 30 minutes lol.
the world is immersive, the gameplay tough and requires 100% concentration. its fun to traverse in the dark castles of boletaria, or the eerie valley of defilement. ive died soo many f%*%en times that any other game would have me using the blu ray as a coaster. but for some peculiar reason it draws me back into it and refuses to let go. still on my first playthrough, and i definately see myself going through all that hell again on new game+...
I kept hearing how difficult the game is and also how good it is too, making me want to buy it just to see for myself. I'm not afraid of hard challenges and i do like RPG'S and Zelda too. I haven't yet but this could be my next purchase, i saw this for $25 used at gamestop.com
It's definitely way more difficult than your typical mainstream game but it is far from impossible. Concentration and some common sense will take you far in DS.
May it be the revolution that gaming has waited for. I could see myself playing a lot more games like it.
cause it didn't need hype to get noticed therefore no trolls. everyone here either wants to play the game or played the game already.
Lol, struggled on my 2nd playthrough and lost 200,000+ souls on the first level by accident. I'm currently SL 172 though. Magic is killing bosses with 4-6 hits (homing soul arrow). It was 2-4 hits before.
ENVY!..
i just got started and this game is incredible..i recommended it to all my friends and they're all getting it as well..
just amazing immersion and FUN...
i was getting burnt out on first person shooters so this game was like a breath of fresh air mixed with some nice spring water..
But is not at all a tru RPG, with cities, NPC's, unfolding story, quests etc
It is great at what it is though, one of the best
im pretty sure demons souls is obviously good
with that said..this game is just awesome..
not enough good things can be said about it...
i was playing during peak hours...
Demons Souls my face game this gen. A must buy in my books
I had a blast with this game got to some crazy level, but it was almost as entertaining watching my mate play it lol.
