VGchartz's Demon's Souls thread

[ameratsu]

Alright, I am taking suggestions for how to improve the OP, especially my description of the game. There are a lot of impressions here, but i'd like to have a fairly accurate description of it for people who've never played it. Currently it's just my description of the game, but i'd like the input of others who've played it as well. Here's the description I currently have for it:

 

"About this game"

Demon's Souls is a PS3 exclusive Action RPG from From Software. It combines a dark medieval atmosphere with brutal enemies and methodical combat. Released on Feburary 5 in Japan and Feburary 26 in Asia, it has been described as a spiritual successor the King's Field games. It has sold 110,000 copies in Japan in addition to the Asian and Korean versions for which sales are not known.

Demon's Souls is all about learning to fight effectively or die. No class is effective in all situations, or against all enemy types. There are little in the way crutches offered. Combined with a feeling of isolation that's rare in modern video games, it provides an experience that is without parallel.



Q: What kind of game is this? Is it a JRPG?

A: This is an action RPG from from software. While it's hard to find a parallel, I'd describe it as a hard, niche dunegon crawler with an emphasis on combat proficency, varied but desolate enviroments, and WRPG-esque gameplay. Usual staples of Action RPGs are nowhere to be found in this game, and the online mode (standard mode if signed in) features a great co-op and PvP system. Think like a hybrid console Diablo with far fewer enemies and rigorous, methodical combat that constantly forces you to adapt.

any suggestions/modifications for the OP are welcome. feel free to PM me changes and if i implement your changes i will give you credit at the end. thanks!
