I got Demon's Souls awhile back in anticipation of Dark Souls but never really got a chance to play it for awhile. I popped it in about two or three weeks ago and have been playing it on and off since(I don't have too much time for games lately). As of right now I am slightly let down.
Now I am not far into the game I have done 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 and 5-1 and have only died a handful of times and never lost my souls permamently. Most times I have died were from newbie mistakes like walking off a cliff edge or challenging the 'Red eye knight' my first time in 1-1. The bosses have taken time to understand there patterns and some cost me a lot of grass (Fuck you Adjucator) but have never actually killed me yet.
I haven't come on here to brag or anything I am just curious, is there a defining 'Shit just got real' moment I haven't experienced yet where the game is forever changed? I am a temple knight btw and I found a blessed mace in 5-1 which has been handy so maybe I just got a lucky advantage with that? I am also pretty methodical in my progression, I move slowly with my shield constantly up, I don't rush and I make sure there's no one alive to sneak up behind me. It seems most bloodstains left are from people running around like maniacs.
3-1 was my most challenging level so far, the little squid faced bastards that freeze you then snog you to death sucked until I realized I could sneak up behind them and stab em in the back. But that was really the hardest moment. That was also where I met my first black phantom who destroyed me with a backstab (Ironic right?!)
It is a brilliant game as of right now I am enjoying spending my time exploring each level and stuff and the fear of dying is still there (Especially in boss fights) I just expected to die a lot more I guess.
Anyway again, I am absolutely not bragging or anything just a curious gamer. I thought it would be a slog from the get go and that was what honestly stopped me from playing it for awhile, as I said, I don't have much time for games right now and especially ones that looked so unforgiving. My need for a dark RPG got the better of me and while being pleasantly surprised (The controls and graphics are rock solid) I am slightly confused. I am an average gamer with average abilities but this games giving me a bit of an ego boost
Don't be too harsh on me, I am honestly just curious. I am by no means saying this game is a walk in the park, it's just not as hard (so far) as I had heard or imagined it to be. I just want an answer (without too many spoilers) or a level that turned men into quivering children or if it was difficult from the get go or if I am an Uber-Gaming wizard from Mars...it's of course the last one, duh.
