For me: "We're finished with the game"="We're looking to actually make some day-1 DLC for shameless idiots who will purchase it and then complain about it while contributing to the problem.  We do this because we just want more money.  We're not going to say this in interviews, since people on the Internet can't handle the truth nor can they accept the concept of 'opinions' in general."

@Rxanadu:  Wait, have you ever played a Valve-game before? Are you in any way aware of how they do business? They've been releasing free updates to Team Fortress 2 for over three years now, and Left 4 Dead/Left 4 Dead 2 have also received plenty of free new modes, levels, etc. The only time Valve's ever charged for stuff was on Xbox 360, when Microsoft basically forced them to. But with Portal 2 having Steam on PS3, any updates to that are likely to be free. And PC-updates will be free, too. 
 
Sure, day 1 DLC is stupid, sometimes. But don't go shouting that everywhere, because if there's one developer doing it right, it's Valve.

Maybe "We're finished with the game" means "We're working on Half-Life 2 Episode 3."

I still have a copy of Demon's Souls sitting unplayed on my shelf. I should probably play that right after I finish NGII.

 Jeffy and Vinny should just do a quick playthrough of Demon's Souls (Endurance Run - style) and be done with it.
 
Also, cannot wait for Portal 2.

Jeff likes games, not things that punch you in the face.
 
DEMON'S SOULS IS A VIDEOGAME, JEFF. 
 
Honest to god, I've got it right there on the shelf and it's got a disc and a box around said disc.

I also consider Demon's Souls to be far easier than most people who haven't played it consider it to be. If you play cautiously and take your time, you'll be fine. If you rush the dragon with your puny sword, you'll be screwed.

I think Jeff sees Mortal Kombat with rose tinted glasses. If it's coming out the same day as portal 2, how many people are going to care about Mortal Kombat? I haven't played a Mortal Kombat game in a long time, but it seems like they are just about the SICK FATALITIES and not so much about great fighting systems. But like I said it's been a long time. 
 
Demon Souls can be cool, it does interesting things with online interactivity. I need to play that sometime. The difficulty adds challenge right? Some times challenge can be great if you learn to eventually get around it. Halo Reach was a bitch on legendary, but I had a great time, didn't get frustsated. Bayonetta was a trial at first on normal, but I learned how to properly dodge, bought some helpful items, and found the right weapon set up, now it's one of my favorite games ever. 
Oh and I'm so glad my birthday is the day after portal 2 comes out. This game look awesome.

There is not day one DLC for Portal 2. That was just the poster being cynical on the Internet. Because that makes you "cool".

I think Jeff has talked himself out of playing Demon's Souls enough to not be tempted back in.

Right on Wolpaw, spreading the Demon's Souls love. Considering how old it is, Valve sure knows how to keep the Source engine looking brilliant without redesigning the whole thing.

And what VALVE game are you basing this on? Have you ever seen them charge for DLC? Have you ever played a Valve game? Do you even know what developer I'm talking about?

You seem to be talking out your ass, not that there's anything wrong with that, I just wouldn't call that comment thought provoking. Now, if I had to call it something... maybe childish, asinine, vapid. Yeah vapid works.

Yeah, you're a real rebel! Don't let the little fact that you apparently have no idea what the fuck you're talking about get in the way of voicing your incredible insightful opinion.

Don't know what this Poortill Tu game is, but I'm psyched for Demon Souls with Steam support.
