I have been so turned off by games lack of challenge for the past 2 hardware cycles. This game is tough, but fair, and will actually improve your gaming skills. No truly cheap hits or bosses, and the online variables keep this game fresh. The game is a bit difficult to find though, and I hope it is due to the fact it is selling well. Game stop has a few used copies from the spoiled gamers that are happy with less than 30 hours of game. People look at me cross eyed in the stores when i recommend it. I am enjoying this game so much!
Demon's Souls
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Oct 06, 2009
Demon's Souls is an action-RPG developed by From Software and released in 2009. It quickly became popular within hardcore circles for its relentlessly steep difficulty level, deep combat system, and unique multiplayer integration.
Difficulty is not an issue The game is solid, period
Yeah its a really solid game. I like it a lot. I dont find it challenging at all when playing with others. Its a gem.
I just...this game is.. weird. Every video and discussion about it makes it look and sound like a God Awful game. Overly difficult is the main thing you hear, and then every video I watch makes the game look like a Japanese Janky Mess, an inventory system that looks like something for 1995, weird attack and movement animations, and a crap camera. And yet everyone showers it with praise and certain review sites made it GOTY?!?! I didn't want to get this game because frankly everything I saw looked BAD, but I guess I am going to have to give it a go, under all this weirdness there must be a game worth playing for so many people to like it so much.

"I hate the fact that they push the fact that difficulty is a factor in the game. It is just like the 16 bit era, in the fact that when you die, you have to start the entire level over.a controller chucker for sure. BUT if you take the time to develop a "skill set" with weaponry that works for you (and there are MANY) the gameplay is incredible. If you just go all gung ho, the game is a real mofo. take the time out to think, and the game is not all that hard. It's how you react to the situations presented that determine how hard the game is. I got it about a month ago, and fiddled with a few classes, then found one I like and ran with it. I have never been more pleased with a purchase!
Not as challenging as Monster Hunter, and less satisfying as a result, BUT I still love Demon's Souls. (I recommend Monster Hunter to anyone who likes Demon's Souls. Wrote about this on my personal blog. Too long to post here so I'm just linking it.)
Some of it was because in NG+ the armor drops didn't improve, so there wasn't a reason to run around again. I got all the black phantom weapons, I use a fully upgraded sword, and a nice bow to accompany it. I would play more but there's no reason to do so.
Of course this is after 70 hours of play.
AND I'm playing again with a male character, if you haven't noticed already there are male or female only armor, for end game armor, male characters get better stuff.
Great game.
