PS3: Demon Souls

Nifty · 12-02-2009, 09:14 AM

Not sure if anyone else around here has played this game, but I got it through GameFly a few days ago and I've got to say that it's one of the best PS3 games I've played that I'd never really heard of. I guess it's part RPG, part Hack n' Slash, its got me hooked.

The game is HARD. You WILL die, and you WILL want to throw your controller through your TV on multiple occasions. However, I think it's this difficulty that makes it such a rewarding experience. You're kinda thrown into the world and it's trial by fire to figure out how to survive. If you don't learn from your mistakes and adapt you're going to fail over and over again. It's a nice departure from the 'there is nothing to lose if you die' attitude that most games take.

Look at some reviews and give the game a shot, I think you'd be doing yourself a diservice not to at least check it out. I'd be interested to see if anyone else is enjoying this game as much as I am.

What's most important about this game is that you do NOT fall into the exploitation bits. It *is* possible to trivialize the game, but it takes all the fun out of it.

Otherwise, this game was designed with hardcore in mind, and it delivers.
