Demon's Souls' brand of punishment proves potent in the UK

"Beware of Fall"

FUNB.

I need to get this game! It's gonna be painful, frustrating, and it's gonna make me swear in annoyance, but dammit, I'm gonna enjoy every harrowing, excruciating minute of it =)

I'm glad to see it doing well. The more people out there leaving bloodstains and warning me of ambushes, the better.

I want that strategy guide, by the time I got it in Canada - the collectors was sold out. >

I'm guaranteed to get downvoted due to the off-topic nature of this comment, but I'm wondering if I should pick up Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain, or God of War III tomorrow.

"It's doing great, we can't say how great, just this many! *Holds up fingers*"

Theres a ton of helpful video walkthroughs over on the U-tubey thing .

That was meant as a reply to willoi .

Wtf ? no reply thingy ?

How come £44.99 is €42 and £34.99 is €54. Now this is what we call a bargain!

um DEMON's SOULs is from ATLUS....how did bandai get credit

this game is awesome - its just hard as hell lol

I am glad, one of my favorite games of the last decade

Praying for a sequel!

I've started playing this game again and forgot how awesome it was. I've put around 150 hours into the game and it hasn't gotten dull, (I stopped before due to frustration) I can't wait for a sequel and I'm guessing Sony is going to actually publish this one world wide this time.

I'm 100 hours in on my 3rd playthrough. Amazing game, the replayability is through the roof and pvp is intense. Few games are this rewarding.

Good Demon souls is an awesome game my deepest respect for FROMSOFT i had never see this coming.

Probably helped that that special edition was selling for less than £30 in the UK - I saw it regularly below £25 new.

what in world is dribs and drabs?

nice to know that I'm one of the people that contributed to this. I love this game!

It seems like if theybadically sold out their printing that they should easily be able to give a ball-park figure for copies sold. Just saying...

Fantastic game, hoping for a sequel. I would just like to see them modify the multiplayer a little bit to make it easier to coop play with friends.

The first time somebody 'invaded' my realm was ridiculously intense. I had pretty much forgotten about it and it took me completely by suprise. I died without much of a fight.

In an effort to heal my bruised ego I immediately invaded somebody else's game, only to go up against somebody who, though around the same level as me, had every awesome piece of gear in the game (you can tell based on the unique look of the weapons and armor), took my feeble hit, and then one shotted me with a giant 2 hander. I gotta admit, it was pretty pathetic and yet still quite hilarious.

This is one of the few games (that I can't get on my xbox) that makes me really wish I had a PS3. So cool looking..

The strategy involved during the boss fights in this game will be highly reminiscent of those during Shadow of the Colossus although the fight itself will remain unique.

If that corellation isn't something that makes people want to play this game, I'd be suprised. Both games are masterpieces.(Masterpieci? Masterpie? Mmmmm. Masterpie.)

I'm somewhat of a cautious gamer, I'm fairly new to the console world, having cut my teeth in gaming back in the original DOOM on the PC. I like to read a ton of reviews before I buy a game, only because I have a family, 4 kids, a job, etc. I cannot devote a ton of time to games that I don't like. So, researching a game before I buy it is important to me.

Lately PC gaming just got to be too expensive for me with regards to hardware upgrades. So I dusted off a PS3 that had been given to me years ago as a birthday present and gave it a go. I buy my console games via Amazon, and used for the most part. Demon's Souls has always intrigued me, I watched countless YouTube videos on the game, reviews, etc., and I decided to pull the trigger, being somewhat anxious to get the game and not wait for it to ship I visited a local Gamestop where I know a few of the people fairly well. They refused to sell me Demon's Souls, here is the exchange:

Employee - Hey, what's up?
Me - I'm going to bite the bullet and get Demon's Souls
Employee - Sorry dude, I'm not gonna sell it to you
Me - LOL, what? Seriously?
Employee - Yeah, you'll come back and want to kill me, lol
Me - Seriously? "I paused in disbelief", why?
Employee - It is the most frustrating game, you'll hate me for it
Me - LOL.....well, ok......and we BS'd then I left....

Fast forward - I could not shake the desire to plunge into DS, if it was as truly hard as everyone said I wanted to meet and beat that challenge. I bought the game from Amazon, used, and it is a damn freaking, frustrating game, I hate it, and I LOVE IT. It reminds me of an old PC game called Blade of Darkness, which was difficult as well, but damn satisfying. Demon's Souls is the same way; it lacks clear direction, you really need to scour the internet to understand builds, etc. But I pump my fist after I defeat a boss that killed me 10x prior. Dodging and parrying enemy attacks then landing a death blow never gets old.

The multiplayer aspect is so original and unique, I had no idea of the level of complexities this game possessed. This game is a masterpiece - bottom line.

I'm in trouble -- Please recommend this message. Indeed.

it's tough, but not that tough. i have one game i've been playing for about 170 hours (on ng++), and i started fresh game and haven't died once in the first 6 hours. it's just about learning how to play.
most common causes of death? falls, someone invading my game, and one hit kills (which still happens even at level 170). it seems to average 1 level an hour. sometimes it will drive you nuts, other times it's fantastic fun.

I bought the game the day it was released in the US and even though I play other games here and there I always go back to this one. Other than MGS4 I've never taken the time to research as much as I did with Demon's Souls. It's the first game I actually still look up on forums or websites to see if there are any special occasions going on like PBWT or PWWT events. If you happen to see a bluestone wanderer wearing nothing but an "Officials Cap" holding two Uchigatanas named IamNotinKey on 2-2 please summon me! Who doesn't love running and jumping around with Flamelurker? Its like jumping around at the park with your dog.....ha

Looks like I'm finally gonna go pick this up tomorrow

SEQUEL PLEASE!!!!!
