I'm going to play Demon's Souls - Day 0
By ventilaator 3 Comments
Demon's Souls is an action RPG game developed by From Software and published by Atlus in 2009. It very quickly gathered a reputation for being tear-jerkingly, rage-induncingly and controller-throwingly difficult.
Here, have some quotes:
----------
"Demon's Souls is difficult. Really, really difficult."
- Playstation Official Magazine UK
"A game best left to the most masochistic, hardcore gamer"
- Playstation: The Official Magazine US
"Prepare to die. In Demon’s Souls you can die hundreds of ways, even in the tutorial level. Scratch that. You will die in the tutorial level"
- www.siliconera.com
"But it's also the type of game that is so difficult that you'll sometimes have to put the controller down and step outside for some fresh air."
- Destructoid

Sounds great right?
But the problem is, I've been watching loads of videos and reading up on this game and it doesn't seem THAT difficult. This seems like a game that asks you to pay attention and act carefully, and punishes you if you play sloppily. Not difficult, just sort of...harsh.
I want to try this, and I'm going to get this game tomorrow. I'm also going to write about my experiences. My moral is high and I don't believe this game is as hard as people make it out to be, but we're going to see.
