I don't find it's as hard as some people say it is. Sure, the game is unforgiving, and not the easiest thing around, since you lose your souls if you die, then die before reaching your corpse. It depends what you consider difficult. I don't find it's thaaaaat hard...but I thought Mega Man 9 was easy, which a bunch of people complained to be difficult as well.

The first few hours are brutal, but once you get over the steep learning curve it just becomes a matter ofpatience, exploration, and taking your time. Also, make sure you have a computer handy when playing so you can Google any annoying enemies so you don't die a million times really far into a level and repeat it just to die at the same enemy, like I did at first. >_> Also, to Mr_Popo, Mega Man 9 was balls to the walls hard. How could you find that easy! D:

I smashed a controller playing Halo 3. Worst mistake of my life. Then I bought one of the new red colored 360 controllers and I've been VERY nice to that.

Since controllers are pretty expensive, I'm being very careful with my original PS3 one.

oh dont worry it was a original six axis without dual shock inside, sony fixed the problem when they made dual shock 3 controllers. if you look at it you will see on the old ones theres a peice attached between L1 and L2 also between R1 and R2 it would break off if hit with a shock, but with dual shock 3 its all part of the casing rather than a clipped in piece =)

It depends on how you play it. If you're gonna try and play it like God of War, don't expect to get past 1-1.

If you take your time and think about what you're doing then you'll have a much easier time of it, although the learning curve is still a lot steeper than a lot of games. Once you've spent some time learning how everything works then everything will click into place.

Demon's Souls isn't that hard. Yes, the game is challenging and unforgiving but if you actually think about what you're doing and learn how to play the game instead of assuming you can run in and button mash your way to victory, you'll die. You'll die a lot. Demon's Souls is a good game, very challenging and very fun but you need to actually play it. There's a dodge button for a reason.

I've seen some of the gameplay. It's a bit similar to the Monster Hunter series' gameplay. I'm an expert on Monster Hunter, maybe I'll good on this one too.... I hope.

Dude - Demons Souls is no-where near as hard is it becomes for some people... Follow the Demons Souls Rules....

1) Hold your shield up at all times

2) Walk don't run

3) Let the enemy attack first, then counter

4) Always explore your surroundings first before running straight in

5) Keep health handy as number 1 and 2 item

6) Have Warding / Total Protection as your number 1 spell and cast before each encounter (This is for later in game).

Go Demons Souls - Its friggen amazing experiance - IF - You follow its rules :)

The hardest part is figuring out what to do. The levels aren't presented in an order so it's kinda easy to get into a spot that's over your head. I hate that the "Rogue" class is basically screwed since that's what I normally start out w/ in RPGs. Also that if you fight a boss, and die you're either have to kill the boss, or forfiet those souls. I made it from the phalanx to the tower guard w/ all my souls only to find out there's no way in hell I'm beating that tower guard.

its not hard its just unforgiving making it seem hard. Really all the enemies and bosses are easy to beat if you know how to beat them. You have to learn your opponents attacks, and find their weaknesses.

I lost a controller to Ninja Gaiden Ghost piranah fish... Demons souls only got one control throw and that was Dragon God and even then it was not necessary... I was just not playing it right :)

Demons is not very hard - just think about what you are doing...

Cheers and enjoy!
