The Perfect Game

For those that have played any of the games in the "Souls" series, especially the latest entry, "Dark Souls," it is easy to understand what is meant when saying the games provide a refreshingly frustrating experience. Frustrating gameplay is, of course, a bad thing, but frustration in games isn't inherently bad. In fact, when used correctly, it's quite important in providing a great gameplay experience. However, it's only one aspect of many design elements that, when combined, provide the makeup for the perfect game.

Especially Demon`s Soul`s you mean, since it`s slightly better of course.

Hmm, debatable. They're both awesome though. It's the unique online aspects that make the games so good.
"Amazing Chest Ahead" etc.

I prefer Dark Souls for it's world design. Specifically how it's pretty much all one seamless open world, and how much variety there was in color with Demon Ruins and Anor Lando.

Why don't people realize that naming your game Demo Soul is probably beyond generic and tacky ?

Why don't you realize that your naming sense means next to nothing in the eyes of many others? Demon's Souls is a simple title, which is all that's needed, sometimes.

I don't know... Tried it and the fact that the character couldn't jump in any way really turned me off about this game.

I think Dragon's Dogma would be the less known but more interesting brother when it comes to well designed action RPGs of this generation.

But that's just my opinion.

"Is Dark Souls a perfect game? By no means no!"

Um, both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were about as perfect as perfect can get, those are my two favorite jrpg's this gen. To me both games are damn near perfection and works of art!
