I get the fact that the game is hard. Before playing, I knew it was going to be hard. And I have no problem with hard games, dying many times, etc. Actually I wanted a challenge. It would be great to play a hard game again.

This game sucks not because it's hard. It sucks because whenever you die, and you will die many times, you have to repeat everything you just did exactly. It's endless hours of non-variety grinding, like World of Warcraft without any choice of activity (at least WoW lets you pick what you want to do and gives you quests to point you in directions). Why does the game force you to repeat slaying the exact same monsters over and over again? It's all pointless. It doesn't make sense. Why not make a hard game, minus the repetition?

I will never understand how this game is so highly rated by so many reviewers. It's repetition without forgiveness. Nevermind the difficulty. It's just a grind, grind, grind, repetition, repetition, repetition game. At least repetition in other RPGs, like say in Final Fantasy games you just do the same attack, attack, attack on monsters, gives you choices and variety on what monsters to fight, which areas to go to, etc. This game doesn't give any choices. After you die, it's either you leave your body there and waste all those souls you've been collecting, or go back there again and kill the same monsters in the same places all over again.

Christ I'm bringing it back to the shop.

*edited, sorry for the ungentlemanly title.

Run...a shit storm is coming your way !

I am the shit storm that was coming you way... but don't see the point now... Seems the game kicked your ass good enough >_>

What I don't get is that you complain about repetition (constantly), yet you say the kind of repetition you get in an FF game where you attack the same way over and over again for hours on end, is ok. You say the difficulty is fine with you and that you're happy with it, but that statement makes it seem like you want it to be easy, like grinding in an FF game.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I respect that, but in my opinion your argument sucks @$$.

In my opinion, your opinion sucks. :)

:P To me, it just seems Demon's Souls gave you a good ass whooping.

Maybe the repeatition is part of the difficulty? Never played it so I can't comment but if you had auto save that kicked in every 10 seconds, that would defeat the purpose of it being punishing, just my 2 pence worth.

Here we go, what I typed up from your last thread:

Point 1) Most Demon Souls levels have shortcuts that make subsequent tries easier. Once you open the main gate in the first level for example, you need only walk up a few sets of stairs to fight the boss. Other levels allow you to skip large portions of the level if you make it far enough.

Point 2) The combat makes it far less repetitive than most games. In many RPGs, you have a list from which you select attacks, buffs, items which I largely find very repetitive. In DS all your attacks, evades, shield, magic, and item use need to be executed properly in real time, paying special attention to your stamina. Chances are you hate DS because you're trying to play it a certain way and that's not working at all. You need to let it consume you.

Admittedly though, it's not for everyone. 

What I said in your other thread:

Ok I'm sure you didn't beat the Tower Knight yet.

And if you have that much difficulty, you can play online with other people.

The 'repetition' is part of what makes the game hard. Reviewers weren't kidding when they said it's not a forgiving game.

Tower Knight is easy. I killed him on my first try without any help.

Fortunately, I had just enough health to suffer one blow from his strongest attack when I fought him.
