Dark Souls Preview | CheatCC

CheatCC - Demon's Souls was a hard game. Very few have actually beaten it, though I'm sure there are amazing people out there who have been able to conquer all of its ridiculously difficult levels. While you might think a game that has a reputation for being one of the most difficult games around might turn off regular gamers, Demon's Souls has earned scores of fans, becoming something of a cult hit since its release in 2009.

I beat this game multiple times. Amazingly though, on my seventh or eighth playthrough, I was tackling the game with pure black soul and world tendencies... and the game still managed to kick my @$$, even with me being practically an expert in the game and having 97% trophies in the game with one of the most difficult trophy hunts and one of the few I've taken up!!

I just bought this, Batman Arkham Asylum and some others. I played Batman on hard mode and I found it to be harder than what I have played of Demon's Souls so far. But Demon's Souls is less forgiving. I died a lot in Batman, a lot more than Demon's Souls. But Demon's Souls feels harder because you cannot make any mistakes. You can't even touch fire!

not that hard.being patient and observant allowed you to finish the game.now,playing new game+ without leveling up much was giving you proper challenge.

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
