Forums - Sony - Gamasutra: Excellent write up on why Demon's Souls is so damn good.

I really want this game now.

wow...that write up has me now wanting this game.



one of my most anticipated titles this year



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Already pre-ordered and counting the days till I get it. The reviews for this are out of this world.



 

It is better to die on one's feet

then live on one's knees

I'm starting to consider the game, but I have a couple questions...

Do you ever really use magic in the game? In games where you can make a custom character, I usually go the magic route, but from everything I've seen and read, it seems like an unwise option.

Secondly, how much of the online portion do you have to use? I don't really want someone hopping into my game and slaughtering me because I suck (and i WILL suck...). Maybe I just don't understand this part very well...

Well you can only be invaded when you have your body, and if you suck that won't be very often since you lose it on the first death, only get it back after killing a boss and then lose it again the next time you die.

 

Magic route has been done by many, though I did not go that way.

Cool, thanks....this game came out of nowhere for me...I know it was hyped a LITTLE, but I kind of just figured it was because it was an exclusive game.  But the more I here the more it interets me...

To bad i'll never be able to play this game, it sounds great but due to the fact of uhm.. you know... the frickin demons its a no go.

Enjoy guys. :/

saying u cant play DS is basically saying u cant play FF....seriously it doesn't have any monster designs u wouldn't find in FF or any other JRPG...its just in this game there all called demons( like in FF10 where the monsters were called fiends)

That sounds good to me, but my mom and dad are really... strongly... religious people, if i were to bring in a game like that then it would be unwise on my part.

I agree though, but still don't wanna cause any unneeded family issues.

Haha, I feel ya.  When my mom saw my DS poster on my wall, she was like, "What in the hell is that?"
