What a shame, still an amazing game nonetheless but the online really makes it shine.

I will definitely get on one last time before they shut it down on the 31st. I plan on playing through it again also as well. Along with Dark Souls, Demon's Souls is the only game this gen I will remember and talk about twenty years from now. Such an amazing franchise.

Nobody even plays it anymore, I tried a month or so ago and spent like 30-45 minutes and found like one PvP match.

You know you could just play it not connected to the internet, right? I think the PVE and PVP in Demon's Soul's is great, but it is totally easily completely avoidable if ya want to.

yea i just hate online gaming.. doesn't even feel like a game when its all hyped up on mp crack.. i wish online mp had've stayed just on pc where it belonged, it never had any business invading consoles and it just ruins games.

It's not hyped on MP crack at all. It's all totally optional. You choose to summon people in (that just help you).. and sometimes you get invaded. But yeah, if you don't wanna deal with that, just disconnect from the internet while you play. Will still play perfectly. :)

Oh yeah, if your usually not connected then this has been an offline RPG for you the entire time. :P Haha, it can be a bit rage inducing, but you just have to learn to play defensively and it becomes fairly easy.. Dark Souls on the other hand, god damn that game is hard.

Demon's Souls isn't as impossibly difficult as everyone makes it out to be. You see, the thing is that video games are easier this gen and more casualized and streamlined and watered down, that most gamers are not used to a real challenge. DS isn't insanely difficult, unless you compare it with current gen casual games.

so it provides a decent challange and u can't just run through it like on most games? yea thats a good thing actually.. so many recent games are lacking in the challange department that they get boring very quickly, so this one will be an interesting change of pace, and plus i heard its pretty cheap now.. lol

Yep, exactly. If you have been playing video games before this gen, and are not retarded, then Demon's Souls should not be insanely difficult. If things are too hard, either try another area of the game or grind until you are strong enough. Not that hard.

Dark Souls is five times as hard as Demon's Souls.

I don't know about 5 times harder, but Dark Souls is definitely more difficult by far. snipers in Anor Lando and Ornstein and Smough were my hang-ups about Dark Souls, but I surpassed those challenges and platinumed the game. In my opinion, these 2 games are the best this gen.

Still though, if you're a real gamer, you should be able to finish Dark Souls.

You're dead on actually, it's about twice as hard. And yes, any real gamer with patience should be able to complete Dark Souls. Unless you hate Medieval RPG's then there's no way in hell you would ever make it. I personally would have never have made it if I didn't adore the dark fantasy concept, you really have to want it with Dark Souls, so many instances where the game demands nothing less than perfection. Demon's Souls had many ways to exploit enemies and bosses, and while it does exist in Dark Souls, not nearly to the same extent making the game simply brutal. I completed my first playthrough with no help on any bosses, didn't someone one soul, and played entirely melee, no magic or pyromancy. It was hard as hell.
