I Pity the Poor Xbox 360 Dark Souls Virgins

The level of arrogance one gets from the demon's souls hardcore community is amazing.

Not sure if you are one of them though. But I have seen a lot of "gamers" who act like its some kind of an achievement to play demon's souls or to like its difficulty.

As time goes on gamers will be younger and younger, so obviously they will ask questions.

It's more the fact that people are going to buy this game without really knowing what they're in for. They're going to charge at a group of 3 minion enemies thinking to despatch them without taking too much damage and wind up dead. It's no arrogance on the part of people who've played the game, it's knowing that people like the one who asked about multiple game saves are going to be surprised by what they find. Those people will either end up hating the game or loving it.

People who've merely even read forum threads about Demon's Souls and understood the nature of the game without every having played it will be going in with their eyes open. So it's nothing to do with having played DS. 360 / PC only gamers can prep themselves for Dark Souls easily enough without having to play Demon's Souls first.

Telling people who've never played Demon's Souls that it's easy is not very good prep. Because people who hear that it's easy mostly have the standard ARPG frame of reference for what's easy so it's not really all that helpful to tell people who've not experienced Demon's Souls that it's easy. Sure, it's easy when you know how to play it properly and you respect the game. But if you don't play it properly then you get your arse kicked.
