Forums - Sony Discussion - In my opinion, Demon's Souls is a bad game.

Catlana on 13 February 2010

My suggestion is to just take it back and trade it in. Demon Souls is not the game for you or alot of other folks. There are a ton of triple AAA games out there, pick up one of those (UC2, AC2, etc) and have fun playing. Games are meant to be fun.

@OP so DS owned you, and you said you wanted a challenge? if you didn't suck at it you wouldn't be have repeated the same thing so many times over, and therefore you wouldn't be complaining.

I agree with the OP completely.

DS has a lot of good things and a lot of poor game design decisions.

A lot of people play games for different reasons. There's nothing I hate more then to have to grind.

It's too bad you didn't like it bugrimmar, and I for one don't think you suck or are a whiner or any of the other blatant or stealth insults in this thread. If you don't like the game, you don't like the game. Your opinion is just as valid as anyone elses here. The problem is, this is effin' VGChartz man! You should know better than to kick one of the prized puppies of the VGChartz community. Now on bugrichartz however, we can have a heyday!



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

I get the fact that the game is hard. Before playing, I knew it was going to be hard. And I have no problem with hard games, dying many times, etc. Actually I wanted a challenge. It would be great to play a hard game again.

This game sucks not because it's hard. It sucks because whenever you die, and you will die many times, you have to repeat everything you just did exactly. It's endless hours of non-variety grinding, like World of Warcraft without any choice of activity (at least WoW lets you pick what you want to do and gives you quests to point you in directions). Why does the game force you to repeat slaying the exact same monsters over and over again? It's all pointless. It doesn't make sense. Why not make a hard game, minus the repetition?

I will never understand how this game is so highly rated by so many reviewers. It's repetition without forgiveness. Nevermind the difficulty. It's just a grind, grind, grind, repetition, repetition, repetition game. At least repetition in other RPGs, like say in Final Fantasy games you just do the same attack, attack, attack on monsters, gives you choices and variety on what monsters to fight, which areas to go to, etc. This game doesn't give any choices. After you die, it's either you leave your body there and waste all those souls you've been collecting, or go back there again and kill the same monsters in the same places all over again.

Christ I'm bringing it back to the shop.

It's only repetitive if you suck :) 



The Halo francise is the most overrated bland game to ever hit the console market. It provides a bad name to all FPS that even showed effort at creating an original entertaining plot.

I probably have more ps3 games than you :/

lol @ all the elitistic comments. Such poor behaviour.

U should encourage the guy instead of making him feel even more bad.

This isn't as bad a reasoning as some would think.

I actually docked points from God Hand in my God Hand review - which was to me th perfect action game - exactly because it had no satisfying options for people who weren't good. If the same is true of Demon's Souls, it's a flaw that should likewise be acknowledged.

I need to rent this sometime and find out.

hmm.. too bad you can't enjoy it - to me it was the most intense and most satisfying gaming experience of the last 5-10 years

I agree, the game flat out sucks.

 

It plays like a PS2 game (Not a big deal to me) the graphics are good but the gameplay just sucks.

 

I never knew if i was going the right way, the story didnt make sense and where the fuck is the end of the level at? You die and have to walk another 20 minutes back to where you were just to die again. 

 

One last thing, this game over complicates things, I played it and found the Bastard sword, So i equip it and it says something about ability, so i say oh i cant use it? So i swing and it looks like can i can use it. I walk up to a knight swing and 2 damage.... Ok i understand im a little weak but i cant block now WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A day later i found out you have to press triangle to grip it with two hands. Dont get me started on dual weapons and shields...

 

2/10 IMO
