After one spent 10+ hours just to pass the level 1.1, where many other miserably gave up and sold the game, some level of arrogance is acceptable. Demon's Souls wasn't just hard for the heck of it. There is a "run speed" video in YouTube where the guy has beaten the game in less than 1 hour!! So it is playable. But it is a totally demanding game. Any mistake count. Even dropping the controller a second, to answer the phone or else, unfortunately. It may push the L2 or R2 button and hit a very precious NPC that can get angry with you until you kill him or her. With autosave in a locked gamesave doing the job of ruin it forever (hint: PS3 users, subscribe to PS Plus. The gamesaves upload feature will be a life saver!!).
It's a bloody experience, but because of that very gratifying. At least in DS one just doesn't have to give up. Every little progress counts, and once 1.1 has been completed one can start to upgrade, which will make the game easier (eve if not THAT much!!).
Have an happy dying!! You deserve it!! :D
