Well, my avatar speaks volume's about my Demon's Souls suggestion, but to me it's the best game this gen so far, and one of the best i've ever played.

I shall adress your negative points then ;)

1 - The game is very difficult at the start, since you'll have a very steep dificulty curve, learning about timings, dodges, blocks, parries, enemy patterns and such. Once you reach end game you'll be more confortable with the game, after dying tons of times and losing tons of souls (the game currency for everything, even leveling up)

Then you'll hit NG+ and you'll cry, because it sometimes makes even Ghouls and Goblins and Battletoads seem like child play xD

2 - It's very hardcore, and a big jump if you're not a RPG fan, since there are some heavy duty RPG mechanics involved, but the transition is not that hard since on it's core and in it's battle and exploration mechanics, it's played like an action game, so if you stick to that motion, you'll get the grip for the game ;)

Thanks lestadark.

So it requires a steep initial learning curve then on to glorious rewards!

I'm also partly interested because of the very challenge it presents and because it will be so new and fresh to me. I'm getting slightly bored of shooters and such recently.

Also, it seems like a good RPG to begin with, quality wise, even if it is so damn tough.


You won't find a better RPG out there in the current market for them ;) Also, since you seem to be more of gamer that likes pacing in his games (sorry if i'm wrong here), you'll find the transition to Demon's Souls far much smoother than to any turn-based RPG.

The game does offer a high enough challenge, but it's so damn rewarding when you actually manage to progress further into the game. You'll start to feel like you're an almighty gamer XD Also, the online component is very good, with the possibility of aiding other players or even fighting them in PVP, it just adds to the huge replayability of the game ;)
