Final FIght FTW!

Ya know. This is probably blasphmy to say this, but if I were ranking (with real rankings no tthat inflated crap), I would only give this game an 8. Very Good, but not Amazingly OMG freaking great.

It is pretty, detailed, great concept, great art design and all around very very cool...But in the end, I just don't find it THAT much fun to play. Its just that cool. I dunno.

Not going to lie, I was grinning the whole time.

The music is spot on.

For those who really "interacted" with the party, I want a massive expansion that encompasses that story. I would gladly pay 30 dollars for that.

After Trine and Braid, my PSN wallet is at capacity for the moment.

Both games were awesome by the way. Trine for the atmosphere and gameplay, Braid for...well for whatever it is its awesome.

Going to have to see if the story is as compelling as the hectic gameplay. But Im interested so far.

Mr. Sliwinski,
I take severe offense to some of the content contained within your post. It is highly offensive to even the most casual onlooker. Perhaps many of you were distracted by the burlesque women, but I sir, was not. You should be ashamed that you engage in this type of extremeist journalism. I hope you take the weeked to evaluate your priorities as a journalist and recommit yourself to the high ethical standards that your profession used to to demand, but has not discarded for better ratings and hits.


The Hot Pockets theme cannot ever be topped, even by some burlesque tart. We all know this. As a matter of fact, the Hot Pockets theme will not ever be topped on any console ever, unless of the course the creator makes a theme, but even then the theme will have to be Hot Pockets.

Once you know that Hot Pockets is the be all end all of your existence the world falls into place. You will know your place in the universe.

You will be enlightened.

russell: you are right, there is a bit more story then I was giving it credit for. But I still stand by my previous statement.

There were some great dark mature themes about human nature going on in the game, but the developers didnt expound on them. It teased me just enough to get irritated. I wanted more. Again, another testement to how makes you beg for more of it.

Reuban and the others on the fence about this game and Dragon Age. (I own and play both)

Dragon Age is a traditional RPG. Good story, same RPG combat, big expansive world, lots of different quests, Cool character interaction. If you are looking for a great traditional RPG experience, then this is your game.

Demon's Souls is a TACTICAL Action RPG. Tactical as in you have to think about every motion that you take. Every sword swing, shield bash, spell cast or roll. A false step will leave you open to attack, and probably a one shot kill. There is little story, though there is some. If there is a flaw to this game it is the story. They had some cool themes going on, but they didn't expand on them. Im sure it was a design call, but still... Favorite boss fight was the one at the end of world 5...suprising and very very cool. So we know the developers can expound on the story if they want to. There is also a little story when you check out the info on unique weapons you pick up.

That being said, it is completely and totally badass. The atmosphere, the awesome online (for me anyway, I hate deathmatch or some 12 year old callling me a dbag), and of course the utterly delicious viseral combat.

So think of what you want. If you want something off the beaten path that is unexplainably addictive and awesome pick Demon's Souls. If you want a tried and true formula and a solid traditional RPG experience then Dragon age is for you. Before playing both, I would have said I want the traditional RPG experience, I love a good story, but I would have been wrong in this instance...

For me personally, Demon's Souls is probably my favorite game this generation.

I hope they don't do a direct sequal. This game is getting alot of the attention that it deserves from its refreshing difficulty and innovation. It goes against everything developers have been trying to do for the last 5 years (make games more accessible and appeal to a wide range of gamers). A "Demon's Souls 2" would lose a step with its originality.

"welcome the chance to create an even better game in the same style."
This is what I want. Something that is like a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls. Take this kind of combat with the steep learning curve and no hand holding, but put it into a solid story (doesn't even have to be great), some cities you can walk around in and NPC's to talk to, then it very welll could be one of the best games ever. (Demon's Souls is in my top 10 best games ever anyway).

Last point that I just want to say again. The fact this game does you no favors and doesn't treat you like a 11 year old kid and refuses to hold you hand (if you tried it would cut it off) is one of my favorite things about this game.

Well thanks SpyderTaco, Power or not I appreciate it.
