.___. there's a huge demon's soul following even at lyn? and i thought the people at neogaf were daft for being all over this game xD
i tried the game for about 20 minutes before turning it off last year, the character design bugs me oh so much! is the gameplay really that good guys :?
Actually it pretty much depends on what you like.. Just like how I detested Red Dead Redemption.. The vast world it gives just doesn't suits me.. The plot and activities bore me to oblivion so I had to stop it after 20 hours of playtime...Unable to carry on no matter how much I tried.. But you know its just me not liking the wild wild west..
For demons souls.. Well, here comes a short essay.. Lol...
At first I can't really accept the character designs at all, but well, since I will be hiding under the helmet throughout the whole game then I see no problem... And helmet is important for newbie else its hard to survive... So is the rest of your armor.. Clunky or not..
Anyway, the reason for me to like this game is because the gameplay is very good... It actually depicts more on the battle in reality... And you really need skills to play this game.. Its not just simple mindless hack and slash.. Also sometimes when you want to go back to a dungeon you really have to remember which spots is strategic to defeat the creature, their pattern and how to do so..
Moreover, The boss fights, I mean those hard ones are gruesome... Lol.. When you look at those boss you will go "God, how am I suppose to beat it".. But, after some trial and error, when you finally defeated it... I can't began to tell how gratifying it is..
So in short, these process in the game is the factor that makes a whole new experience for the gamers.. Its like you really have your own style in the demon soul realm, where once you found it its pretty easy which I think is what most of us find it rewarding..
Besides, I like the idea how hard it was but at the same time not cheap.. Like i said if you know your way you can survive that harsh world people created and be the king... Plus, I love how overwhelming those bosses make me feel... For me those feelings are beyond word..
Oh and before I forget, if you always log on to online mode, its funny the way other players will leave message either to help u, trick u, or just joking using a few pre-set words in the midst of the dark world... And sometimes, the way they dies is really really funny...
So yeap, just try it out yourself.. If you do not like it.. Then I guess its just not your type of game..
