Honestgamers.com: Perfection can wait for heaven. Here on Earth, we have Demon's Souls.
Demon's Souls is the rare game that does so many things just right that it's not difficult to ignore the few minor things it does wrong. Even though you're not, it can sometimes feel like you're playing the perfect game... and it's OWNING you!
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
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.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
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.
Comparison videos of Demon's Souls & Black Myth: Wukong running on both PS5 and PS5 Pro showcase an impressive upgrade on the mid-gen console.
Well yeah it tells you the difference— 1440p vs 4k for 60fps. You have to watch the video in 4k to see the difference.
Wukong actually performs worst in performance mode, wtf!
And wheres the damn update for this game. They're still more work to be done.
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.
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?
Tough as nails, solid as a brick, and as annoying as a rooster at dawn—this list has it all. Here are the hardest PS3 games.
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).
^_^ Oh man I like this score and it's great for this game. I literally feel like it will be hard to sleep tonight being that I have all this excitement built up in me as I anticipate tomorrow.
AAA!
Dale North of Dumbstructoid couldnt finish this game because he's clearly a noob.
ive been pumped for this game....action rpg genre long overdue, picking this game up tomarrow
I have completed the game since i got the asian version and the game is really quite good.
Graphics:
it may not be as good as your uncharted 2 or Killzone 2(than again what is lol)but its not that bad either. One of its strong points would be the atmosphere of the game. It really draws you in.
Sound:
plays an important part of the atmosphere as well.. parts of the game is really haunting, you have people moaning in pain etc
Gameplay
The game is quite hard BUT its not as bad as it sounds. Once you get use to it you will enjoy the game immensely. Everytime you die you will feel like its you who screw up not because the game is cheap etc. I love the fact that if you are wearing heavy armor you will roll like a freaking tank but if you are wearing light armor you will be able to dodge quite easily so you can really custom your play style.
Online
Yes theres an online mode for folks who didn't know. Boss is too tough for you? Lost your body n you are stuck in soul form? Not an issue just summon other players to aid you in your quest however you can only co-op with someone thats dead meaning if you and your friend is alive you can't join each other. PVP system is pretty interesting as well, you get to break into other people's world as a black phantom to hunt them down ^^ tbh i got no idea why the black phantom who breaks into my world are always so powerful, he butcher me and 2 other co-op members....
Cons
One part that i did not like about the game ( not really dislike but more of an improvement for the game) more spells, weapons + armor.
Overall Demon soul is a fantastic game, don't let the difficulty turn you away from the game at the start you WILL get better and once you get the hang of it you will see that its an amazing game =)
My order has been shipped. I'll be on tomorrow if anyone with the game wants to add me online.
