Forums - Sony - This is the best Demons Souls review ever! :D

Xen on 24 April 2011

No offence to anyone, but if Demon's Souls is what you consider hard, you haven't played a hard game in your life, EVER. That game is ALL predictable patterns, from beginning to finish. The only way it can be remotely hard is if you picked a Barbarian as your first character, because he starts with no armor whatsoever and a weak wooden shield. Otherwise, you're just seriously overreaching.

Do you want truly hard? Put Contra 4 or SuperSFIV on their highest difficulties ;)

Ah, wait! Demon's Souls DOES have one tough enemy. Try your luck against a swamp bird or whatever it's called. Patterns or no patterns, if you get two of them on you, your only way out is warping back to the nexus.

Demon's Souls is the hardest game you will ever play for about the first 5 hours, after that if you still are having difficulty you probably should stick to your FPS guns lolz.

It's still extremely hard unless you read the walk-through in the Black Phantom edition or guides on the internet, which by some people is considered cheating.

I would have to disagree, once you learn what white/black tendency is, everything in the game is at your diposal. The game does not have tons of gear or weapons like other rpgs, and everything is neatly seperated into each level. The game is quite organized between white and black tendency and that is what makes it very simple to get everything in each level.

But you can't even figure out what black/white tendency is without a guide or someone telling you!


It was pretty simple really, there was a world tendency screen in the menu. Every time I defeated a level in one of the worlds, it turned brighter. Not sure how everything else didin't fall into place for you.

I play SSF4 religiously and I can tell you the computer on highest difficulty are so predictable and and don't even know how to block.

I considerd Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii a lot harder game than DS.

You must be some kind of genious then. So did you even figure out that some NPCs only spawned at a certain world tendency?

Everyone else here on VGC needed guides for Demon's Souls and thought the game was very hard, it's a well established fact. Just go look up all the DS threads on the Sony boards or the official thread.

And by best I mean funniest. This guy does amazingly funny reviews.

But be warned he trashes pretty much every videogame ever in his reviews (but thats what makes the reviews so funny)

Although I do have to say i'm kind of scared to get this game now because I really do no like overly hard games (and Demons Souls kind of looks like it is overly hard)


I don't like reviews that don't even show the gameplay once. Don't care how funny it is. I'm watching the review because I like videogames, not because I need a laugh.

You trying to appear all hardcorez or what.

It's a hard game. Everyone accepts that.
