Fantastic review!!! After all the feedback and reviews I’ve read this certainly sounds like a game i’d love to play and dedicate a large amount of time to. Thanks for the great review.

Yup, Hard as Nails but easily the best game on the PS3, and requires a lot of dungeon crawling to get the souls enabling levelling up from the Dark Maiden. I Imported the Asian Version as 100% english ( save for the manual ) from ebay.co.uk. Latest update appears to have fixed a few issues and yes, added shadows into the game ( something removed due to framerate issues! ). it’s a 9/10 game for sure

Great review.At first it seems unfairly difficult but perseverance brings rewards.Harsh,bleak,epic and well worth importing.Haven’t played a game in a long time that punishes so much yet still compels me to try again.

Nice review. Stumbled upon it while googling, Just getting ready to buy an Import copy over here and wanted to read up a little background on it. Sounds like a real hard/fun game.

Great review! I’m on the edge of importing it myself.

@Darth
The fact is, we don’t get enough hard games these days. They’re fairly niche, and Demon’s Souls is able to scratch our itch.

Why does this game have to be as hard as reviewers say it is? Thanks but no thanks. I like to keep my controller in one piece thank-you-very-much. I was interested in this game before, but I’ll just stick with buying Oblivion eventually.

Yes, indeed the hardest game I’ve played this gen. Still only beat 7 bosses so far (two of them with the help of summoned blue players), and it’s already been four whooping months since I got this game!!! Of course I haven’t been playing this game for all of those four months, but this is one game I will not sell until I beat. That golden trophy will mean more than any other trophy I received in the past (including the three plats I have).

Huge props to anyone who’s actually beaten this game.

@J.F. Fox

As The Dude noted, toning down the difficulty would defeat the purpose of the game. Atlus is known for supporting particularly hardcore dungeon-crawling titles, and Demon’s Souls is one of the best (perhaps only) ones of this hardware cycle.

However, Atlus is also well-known for its excellent writing and localization, something that Demon’s Souls is sorely in need of. Many of the canned messages and item descriptions are Babelfish quality in translation, though the voice acting and cutscenes are bearable.

Atlus’ DS releases of games like The Dark Spire and Etrian Odyssey speak volumes about how good localization can make for a great motivator even in the absence of actual narrative depth.

^^^^^

That would defeat the purpose of the game. This game is supposed to be difficult, and you’re supposed to die. Alot.
