Neoseeker Demon's Souls Review

Heath Flor writes, Every once in a blue moon a game comes along that challenges your abilities as a gamer. Demon's Souls is one of these games. With its enemies that one-hit kill you, and traps that are hell-bent on seeing you dead, Demon's Souls pulls no punches. It is by far one of the most difficult and challenging games that you will ever play. However, I will not declare that it's a game only for the hardcore. No fellow gamers, this is a game that is only for those with an abundance of patience and devotion.

Nothing I hate more than a reviewer who starts his article "Every once in awhile a game comes along..." So unprofessional.

SolidAhmed5727d ago

"Ugh Nothing I hate more than a reviewer who starts his article "Every once in awhile a game comes along..." So unprofessional."

Funny coming from the Lion King.

"before i start this review, i want to state that i *am/am not* a big fan of this game".
as soon as i read that in a review, i know it's no longer a review - just a fanboy ranting for or against the game they are "reviewing".......
that is the wrong way to start a review. if a reveiwer is biased for or against a series or genre......they shouldn't be reviewing the game.

@Aquarius

"...coming from the Lion King"

"Mufasa...

Mufasa...

Mufasa, Mufasa-Mufasa-Mufasa... *giggles* guhahhaaha!"

"I am the #1 biggest, most ultimate fan of <insert name here>" ... and then they proceed to totally trash it to oblivion in an juggernaut smack down of Gargantua proportions.

The one kills me every time

shadow27975726d ago

"I wasn't a big fan of the first game..." Comes to mind. Haha.

JoySticksFTW5727d ago (Edited 5727d ago )

I read this -- "No fellow gamers, this is a game that is only for those with an abundance of patience and devotion." -- and was like

uh oh, what did I get myself into preordering this game. Demon's Souls is gonna kick my a$$. I'm not that patient and will drop a game in an instant if I'm not having fun.

But it seems that this is the rare game that you really don't mind dying over and over again, because it is so fun -- and dying is just expected. Weird... and I know that I'd kick myself if I passed on the chance to experience a game like this

Someone said it earlier...

You don't choose this game. This game chooses you.

So true

cfountain5727d ago

just payed of my pre-order today.

El Botto5727d ago

And this game is on my list to buy and own. I was going to skip this for Batman AA but DAAAAAJJJJJJUUUUMMMMMM this game is fine.

blackbeld5727d ago

^^^Yep^^^^ PS3 is moving more consoles with this game too... 360 days are over!!

Aquarius5727d ago (Edited 5727d ago )

This is one of those games that you just don't sell.

(Pre-ordered and Bought Deluxe Edition in August BTW)

@below I know what your speaking about man.

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff110d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga110d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast109d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion110d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion110d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha110d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z109d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

I see absolutely no difference with base performance mode..

MrWood204d ago

Well yeah it tells you the difference— 1440p vs 4k for 60fps. You have to watch the video in 4k to see the difference.

dantesparda205d ago (Edited 205d ago )

Wukong actually performs worst in performance mode, wtf!

And wheres the damn update for this game. They're still more work to be done.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH205d ago

I saw Zero noticeable difference when I played it on Pro. The only game I’ve seen significant difference in is FF7RB but now I get these stutters after the Pro update. I can safely say that if you don’t have a PS5 then getting the Pro is a no brainer but upgrading from PS5 to Pro is not a wise move as of now. Wait for better new games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH204d ago

So you’re telling me that I DONT have a PS5 Pro and you’re telling me that I DONT have Demon’s Souls and you’re telling me that I DID in fact see a different in a game that according to you I don’t have? Im assuming you’re one of the lucky few who owns a Pro saw a major Difference in Demon’s Souls right?

DarXyde210d ago

This list has nine games....

And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).
