    Come to think of it, Demon's Souls would make an interesting endurance run if they have the guts to even play it.

    There is no way to edit polls or I would totally add that, just think of the comedy option as the Get Bent option.

    Hasn't Ryan Davis suffered enough from reviewing Uwe Boll movies?
    Jeff bought CrimeCraft. His soul needs some time to heal from that. 
    I don't think Vinny's got another endurance run in him right now. 
    Brad is backlogged. Dude, the guy still hasn't started playing Fallout 3 yet. 
     
    The only way this would work is with Drew and Dave, because Dave would enjoy playing it and Drew is a good comic foil.

    They don't have any interest in this game at all, so what would motivate them to play through it? It would last maybe a week.

    I'd actually watch the endurance run this time if they played it. It could be highly entertaining. And yes...drew and dave should do it.

    if they started it, they would most probably make it to the end, cuz im guessing it would be at least as popular as the persona 4 endurance run, and they wouldnt let all the fans down by quitting early cuz THATS NOT HOW THEY ROLL

    Although I voted D, I'd really like to see an endurance run for this game. Because I feel this game is going to sell just like PE4......

    I don't think they're interested in this game.  And Demon's Souls doesn't have the charm (Chie) that P4 had.
     
    I hope Vinny keeps playing, though.

    How interesting an Endurance Run of the game would look would honestly depend on the player.  If they don't learn from their mistakes and keep dying for the same dumb reasons, both player and audience would become quickly frustrated.  After all, there is no overall narrative and charm that would pull the ER along regardless as it did in P4.

    It would wind up being a very repetitive endurance run. They can't hang.

    They could do it if they applied themselves.  Probably would make a good ER with them dying all the time.

    There isn't a story element to latch onto unlike Persona 4. 
     
    It would be absolutely boring.

    I believe that once they get the hang of how it works more properly, it shouldn't pose a significant challenge. Although I don't know if it is also unbelievably long. But anyway, I think they'd stick with it til the end.

    I would watch more Demon's Souls action, but that game is not exactly set up for the kind of viewing that Persona 4 was. Plus, I think that a game like Demon's Souls would draw an even more insane and nitpicky group of commenters than P4.

    I don't think this game would be appropriate for an endurance run. I love the game to death but there really aren't enough story elements to keep viewers interested and this game requires a lot of item and soul farming in certain areas to not get killed all the time.

    If they did this as an endurance run, the only way it could truly work would be if they just spent it just rambling about different stuff and trading off controllers. Kinda like, when they were in the dungeon in P4 and would mock infomercials, or Jeff would ramble about his pc problems. But for the most part, it's not geared that way. I feel if people keep badgering for new endurance runs and tang content would probably lead to a weird shutting off the forums/ comments for offenders.

    And if he can't, at least the meltdown and fits of anger would be funny as hell to hear.

    @Dalai: I loled.
     
    Though I do ache for a new ER, I don't think Demon's Souls would suffice; there's not enough personality, and too much grinding.  
     
    I instead hope that when P5 comes out, Giant Bomb will support full 720p video and we can watch ER2 of P5 for the PS3 played for 200+ episodes, each an hour long. But I'm sure that at least one of those things won't happen.

    Honestly, I got my copy of the game in the mail a couple days ago, it's no where near as hard as everyone on the internet has been acting. I originally voted E on this pole, just because I'd believed what I'd been hearing online. Now, I still think they won't ever do it, but, if they did, I think they'd beat it. It's not that hard a game.

    Demon's Souls is an excellent game but I think it'd make an awful endurance run. It's one of those games that requires so much concentration that you find yourself telling other people that you just straight up CANNOT TALK, at least on the first playthrough. It requires your undivided attention. It's not even because it's especially hard either, it's really demanding of your attention due to a variety of factors (not the least of which is complete lack of a pause button).
     
    It would be possible to see somebody who's really good at the game go through it with commentary, but I don't think the GB staff has anybody like that or can take on anybody like that for commentary. Also I don't know how entertaining that would actually be.

    Endurance Run - Demon's Souls is definetly something I'd watch. 300 episodes!
