Is demon souls really good?

I havent been on my ps3 much do to my 360 and my pc. But i want to get back into it and i saw that demon souls gets praised by the gaming community and i look at gamestop and say that it was $25. Is it worth it for me to go out an pick it up. Or will i get extremely frustrated with it and never play it again?

You might want to rent it first if you can. Personally I'd say $25 is a good deal for such a game. The game isn't for everyone though.

Sad thing is though i can't rent it cause all the blockbusters closed around me

None of the blockbusters in my area carried it, so I just used a gamefly free trial when I really wanted to try the game.

I don't know about a "good game" but it was very VERY hard one, gave to my friend and never going to play it again, to hard for me :).

LOL First if you don't understand endurance and how slinging a sword and blocking deplete the endurance gauge then it's going to be hard for you and I would pass.

Second, $25 is a steal that is if you understand it has a battle system which prevents you from being successful if you just mash buttons.

Yeah, besides what a few of these posters have said the game is not hard, you might be challenged but the games difficulty is up to how smart you play and how many hard games you have beat.

If you don't suck at playing games you'll get through it fine without much challenge.

I have no idea what Yangire is talking about. I'm pretty sure that over 90 percent of people who play that game will agree that the game is really freaking hard.jovahutcwsu

Well a lot of people these days don't play hard games.

method man I'm assuming you haven't played ng+?? Or black worlds? I agree that learning attack patterns was enough to get through the game the first time with white worlds, but going back through it on ng+ with all my skills, items, and soul level, and even knowing attack patterns was not enough to make me say that this game isn't that hard.jovahutcwsu

best game on the system.

on my 6th playthrough roughly. i come back to it every so often

Most of the people that fail at this game swing their weapons like wildly like Kratos and are confused why they always die.

The game is awesome, challenging, and very satisfying. It won game of the year on this site for a reason.

I got this the other day, and honestly it is an awesome game but at times I found myself not bothered with it. Personally, the fun factor ran out for me as I got too impatient at times.
Anyway, I think all this game needs is alot of patience, and with that this game will be an enjoyable game. Definitely not overrated as many say.

At a price such as that it is hard to pass it up. Demon's souls is easily one of the PS3s best exclusives.

The game's not really that hard with the exception of a few bosses that might give you a few problems, but overall it's not hard. And, yes, it's a great game.

It's a good game, but get ready for a REALLY long grind, cause it is monumentally difficult.

Put on a pot of coffee, your in for a long haul

Oooo $25? I've been meanin' to pick Demon Souls up. Wasn't at the top of my list, but it piqued my curiousity. Last I looked it was still going for $55 used at Gamestop. I can swing $25 for it though =D

ya i just picked it up with a new controller i really hope its good :) thanks for the input!

itsthe other way around... is demons souls really bad? NO, it is a great game

If any of you think its hard you must seriously suck. On my first game I barely died against any boss and I was in body form for most of it. Every boss has an easy way of beating him and every enemy has a weakness, which isn't hard to discover at all. The only tough moments in the entire game are 5-2 and the Tower Knight (don't know why I struggled on him). Remember raise luck for the Blueblood sword you get from Maiden Astrea's soul as well faith for the Moonlight sword. The most important tool against bosses is FIRESTORM!
