Shu always had a good eye for games but he definitely screwed on that one, From Software and the whole Souls series could have been part of Sony since the PS3 gen if he had faith in it. Looking at it now it's great it didn't happen tho, as From Software could also be on the chopping block or not even existing anymore by now. I understand a hard game like it would be hard to please everybody, specially during that specific generation, but calling it a bad game... he was out of his mind xD |
Its not just the difficulty for me, its the whole feel of the game. If you expect certain things out of an action game and it defies most of those expectations without much pay off to you (as a player), you would probably feel the same. Demon souls is intentionally slow in movement in a way some may find sluggish, very paired back from a story telling perspective, has super clunky rag doll physics, very sunken in tone and on the surface level looks kind of unremarkable next to the likes of DMC/GOW/Bayonetta etc. I legit think a solid amount of the PS userbase would walk away from that game experience calling it bad too if there wasn't hype and reviewers to tell them it was good and that they're the problem lol
