Finally!

*Puts down the PS3 controller and kind of "Pauses" Demon's Souls to take a look at the review*

Score doesn't seem to bad and seems quite reasonable.

{Edit} over 30 hours and that difficulty (While soloing) is starting to get to me, may need some help with this one to :/.

rdgneoz35686d ago

Don't forget, 30 hours for 1 play through, and not everyone gets max level playing through. I remember reading I think 1 dev was saying he got to 35 after the first play through. Also, there are 4 characters to choose from and 130 side quests total (don't think everyone will do all of them in 1 play through).

Myst5686d ago

Yep, I'll probably do multiple play throughs, but I probably will just use the same character each time as well. Being that the max level is 50 and the game has a newgame+ type of deal I probably will just keep playing through the same character.

The side quests will be like Sacred 2 I won't get to them all :p.

WildArmed5686d ago

for a sec i thought u were talking about demon's souls @1.1
I was like.. no1 can get max lvl in the first run.. no1 -.-

I love roaming in Soul Form putting up stones everywhere.
Since Im trying to run a perfect white tendency run.
I missed up alot during my first run... including finishing the game w/o hunting all the premival demons and doing the white/black soul tendency events o-O
Gluck

MEsoJD5686d ago

Demons souls is pure awesome I haven't touched any of my other games in

the longest. I probably won't until my 4th or 5th new game+. Best PS3 to

come out yet.

ABizzel15686d ago

Most of the review scores have been in the mid and upper 8's so I'll rent it first since I had some interest in it back when it was first shown. I wonder why this game doesn't have any real hype for it. It seems like a good game, and it's not getting any real press. I know Uncharted 2 just came out and Modern Warfare 2 is coming out, but a good game deserves some kind of buzz no matter what great game just came out before or after it.

Tex1175685d ago

Demon's Souls is greatness.

Though you can swing through levels really fast on the second play through.

WildArmed5685d ago

@Tex
and thats why there are some odd 714 levels in the game lol

WildArmed5686d ago

I still need to pick up U2, NGS2 and alot more b4 i can catch up to Oct 2009 =/ Its depressing how low my gaming budget has gotten since college started

BO WALEED5686d ago

BORDERLANDS deserve 9+ .. guys I am playing it now with level 18, I can simply say its one of the best games ever and its totally > Fallout3
and the co-op is AWESOME!!!
the game doesn't have any single bad thing!
screw IGN/Gametrailers and anyone who gave it less than 9

spunnups5686d ago

Looks like something i'd pick up when it hits the $30 range. I'm not exactly desperate for a good game right now being a PS3 owner.

dreamcast5686d ago

Good score for a good game, I hope. We'll find out tomorrow =)

Despite Borderlands Movie Flop, Series Saw Boost in Sales; Take-Two to Be Selective on Licensing IPs

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.

-Foxtrot186d ago

"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"

Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.

Daeloki185d ago

No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)

RhinoGamer88185d ago

Polish a turd to make a what?!

DefenderOfDoom2185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
