WTF? The multiplayer servers were the best part of the game. It will be sad without them. *tear*
definitly can recommend this.Keivz said:
be warned!
*long and hard, it does not forgive on mistakes, if you step out the wrong way or aren't watching out, your fucking done for and have to respawn all the way at the beginning without your loot of the lootings.
*a bit of a learning curve, this game is not for the easy and casual, its for hardcore and dedicated users, so in that, if you have the time, and have a knack for action rpg/semi dungeon crawlers (even though alot of it is outside) then this game is surely for you.
ot: i might have to pick this up again..i had it for a while, played maybe 20 hours and then decided i just didn't have enough time for that ONE game, so we will see on this second purchase..
this. its like having diablo II without multiplayer..VanityGirl said:
that game would be god awful boring without parties....
Is the price slashed for Europe too? Or is it NA only?Tom Goldman said:Demon's Souls Price Slashed By Gigantic Halberd
The price of entry into the challenging world of Demon's Souls has been cut in half by a 10-story tall demon knight.
When nearly quadrupling sales expectations [http://www.amazon.com/Demons-Souls-Playstation-3/dp/B002AB7TX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1284600570&sr=8-1] after only four months. It looks like that sales success continued throughout 2010, as Atlus has announced that Demon's Souls is now a proud member of Sony's Greatest Hits line and has permanently slashed its price.
The incredibly challenging, yet vastly rewarding game that once set back gamers $60 is now a cool $29.99. The red label Greatest Hits line is reserved only for certain games that meet its requirements, which in regards to the PS3 are said to be sales of 500,000 copies or more after being on the market for longer than 10 months. It's been almost a year since Demon's Souls' release outside of Japan, while the game only recently made it to Europe on June 25, 2010.
Those that want the full Demon's Souls experience should strike while the iron is hot, because Atlus has made it known that it will have to end support of its multiplayer servers at some point in the future, though not until March 2011 at the earliest with more continuations possible. Atlus planned to end server support just six months after release, but outlandish success inspired the company to keep the servers going.
Demon's Souls is a great single player game, but its multiplayer aspect is something that every player should experience. Even if you don't want to hunt alongside friends or hunt them down for your own gain (both are possible), you still can be treated to visions of how other players died and receive warnings and hints.
Now at a bargain price, action-RPG fans that are ready - and please, make sure you're absolutely, positively ready - should give Demon's Souls a go. Once I figured it out, it became one of my favorite games of all time.

Yeah, exactly. I just kinda hate all the hostility that a lot of fans have towards people who just don't warm up to this kinda thing. I still think the game is too hard, and I managed to beat it. The latter fact tends to fly over most people's heads.Burst6 said:
As far as difficulty goes: the game is entirely dependent on skill. Once you're skilled you will cease to see it as difficult. It's distinctly different from a game which is difficult even when you know it well.
I really should go back to this... nothing I've played since putting it down has been half as good.

I'm temped to get it, but given how I play everything piecemeal, instead of just focusing on one game at a time, there's no guarantee I'd have clocked the game by the time the servers went down. Might get it anyway.
haha yeah i guess i misworded that slightly..but as you said, souls = mucho important in demon souls (hell its in the title)Korten12 said:well you don't lose your loot, only your souls which of course is a MAJOR part.gmaverick019 said:(though dying isn't so bad since if you die when you dead but can still get your souls you will begin to stack up on them.)
Not sure I want to get it, knowing server support may or may not be going. I mea, I know it's not for a while, but I wouldn't be snagging it right away, either.
