Will Demon's Souls win RPG of the Year?

Well, I am enjoying Dragon Age a little more and here's why. I always feel that RPG games should be about story and character development. The only two examples that I feel did a really great job in breaking that mold and still being great are Diablo II and Demon Souls.

That said, playing Dragon Age on PC really helps me remember why I love this genre so much. It might even be my GotY this year, and I'm having a ton of fun with it.

So, yeah, I thought it might be the case, but I think DA:O on PC is going to be my GotY this year, just like Fallout 3 was last year. Great game.

Uncharted 2, Demon Souls, MW2, nothing else really lived up to my POST REVIEW expectations this year like Dragon Age. I can honestly say, that it's one of the best games I've played this gen, and the reviews didn't reflect that, so I give it the nod. :P

Demon Souls is definitely my second fav RPG this year though. Even better than Bowser's Inside Story, which is very, very good also, and a 9/10, and probably the highest rated of all these games?

Yeah, Bowsers Inside Story is a 91 on Meta. It is the highest of the 3.

 

I should have Dragon Age coming soon, after Borderlands on my Gamefly account. I am very much looking forward to playing it. What would you compare it to gameplay wise? Diablo? Champions of Norrath? I really don't know much about how it plays exactly, I am just hoping for tons of loot. I like tons of armor and weapon options.

I also agree with you on your point with Diablo II and Demon's Souls breaking the mold on needing to be about story and character development. In both game I felt the story was more told through the gameplay. It is a HUGE reason as to why I am a big fan of both game, especially Diablo II. I lost 3 years of my life to that game. One of the greatest ever made IMO.

I am also still in my first playthrough of Demon's Souls, clocked at around 94 hours.
