Demon's Souls (PS3 Game review)

I picked this game up about a week and a half ago. This game is TOUGH.

You know how some pseudo-aficionados of gaming like to sit on invisible high horses and talk shit:
"Games nowadays are junk. They are too easy. They are too simple. Where are the real games? Super Mario Brothers was hard. Where are these good games?" (Edit: note that none of them play multiplayer, where we all know you can find VERY difficult adversaries. fuck a critic)

Fuckem in the ass, and you know why? Their high horse is so high they can't even see the games coming out that ARE badass and tough.

Demon's Souls will make you fucking scream. I've played the game for maybe 20 hours total and in that time I've literally stood up a dozen times, nearly threw my PS3 controller, and screamed "FUUUUCK!".

Demon's Souls is EVIL. The game is themed kinda like medieval times, but with badass demons and stuff going on. It is kinda an action-RPG, but when I tell you the game is HARD, I don't know if the message is being completely received, so I'll explain lightly....

This game keeps you in check. You'll learn how to block with a shield, time your attacks... You'll level up and get your guy pretty tough.... and yet... to your surprise... the weakest little turd that you are now easily smashing, can somehow catch you off guard AND FUCKING END YOU! Its like as if you were walking around beating up 4 year olds all day... and its easy... and then you didn't really check some corner of a room as you walk in, and a 4 year old stabs you in the back and ENDS YOU. FUUUUUUUUUCK!

This wouldn't be such a shocking or HARD thing if it was like most games which have 'save points' about ever 30 seconds. Most games let you go right back to where you just were.... Not Demon's Souls. You go back to the beginning of the level. And if you were in LIVE form, you're now in SOul form (weaker). And if you had earned lots of souls along the way (like money/xp), they are ALL gone and they are located where you died. But if you die en-route to recollect your dropped souls, you never ever ever get them back! You can't. They are gone now because the NEXT place you died is where your much lesser number of souls is now waiting... FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

That is how this game is hard. When you're in control, you're winning and doing awesome.. . you get cocky for even 1 second and you're fuckin dead and you just lost 10 minutes of work.

The bosses can sometimes be hard or easy. Some are REALLY hard. The game is not linear and kinda unpredictable because it has a cool online-aspect to it. You see other players in a ghostly form playing on the same level, but you don't see their enemies.... And if you see a bloodstain, it shows you how they died! Lol.. that shit is funny.. there is *always* a blood stain near a cliff... and you touch it... it shows you how they were walkin along, some baddie rushes them, and they try to block.. POW! Off the cliff! See ya!!!! LMFAO.

You can summon other phantoms (get another player in on your game in your dimension). You be a phantom and play for others. You can also INVADE other's worlds and fuck them up. PVP.

This game has a very dark and gothic theme to it. The characters are highly customizable in creation.
