Wow, that does sound insane. Remind me not to play that game. Your description of this game makes me think of games like Dragon's Lair and Brain Dead 13.
When ever an MMORPG costs way to much, and I mean not FREE! There is no point in it. There is no point to this game after that, it just just like GTA in that instead of holding your hand it just keeps you killed. Bad name, bad plot, bad game mechanic = bad game.
Definitely a true overview, but you should probably have said it was a first impressions rather than a full review since you haven't exactly finished it you know?
but i digress that's pretty much as far as i got and as far as i'll probably get as much as i like it having a game you can't finish isn't something i like ...

Sorry Yahtzee but you can't nitpick on a game that was designed to be difficult and unforgiving for being too difficult and unforgiving. Play further than the first dungeon and then create a new game. You'll wonder what you thought was so hard about those parts.
I loved DA, played it through four times, but nightmare was incredibly non-nightmarish, and I never lost the final battle once. I've been contemplating buying this game even though I don't own a PS3 just to encourage developers to skew the OTHER way, as I'm just so sick of easy to beat games.. but I know that would just encourage more JRPGs for the PS3 rather than moar harder games, so I'll save my money.
I do have to wonder, being made from Software a Japanese developer, that Demon's Souls is an attempt to give the player such a wretched experience in the western style RPG's that any continuation into the genre will only serve to remind the player of the harsh time, like a victim of spousal abuse or something, all in the guise to make the appeal of Final Fantasy 13, and other such JRPG's, all the sweeter as a loving caring experience. Then again that sounds like paranoid garbage.

You have to update your browser. It's the flash plug-in that needs updating. Same issue when I try to watch something here that isn't ZP on my PS3.
Yatzhee hits the nail on the head yet again. Good work.
I think I'll pick this up next year after the holiday spending sprees. I've been waiting for your point of view on the game. Good to know that it's balls hard for no good reason.

Woot, inb4 the first 100 responses!
Kinda surprised he hated on this game so much... I haven't played it, but I see the kids on /v/ talking about it all the time. It sounds fun from what I've heard...

The game is extremely hard, but fair. Nothing that happens in the game is really bullshit, as much as it is just VERY fair. You get stabbed in the back by two or three guys, you die. You get hit by dragons breath, you die. Crushed by a tower sized monster, you guessed it, death.
Ha-ha! I'm not a nerd, but I've finished this game during my vacation this year, and - Yantzee, admit, you just suck at it.
You can actually kill this very first Boss (three-eyed fatso with giant cleaver), although it's hard to find the right strategy. In this case you'll see the alternative opening in Dragon God's lair.
Also there is a way of crossing that bridge with the dragon without getting hit. Also, you can simply kill this dragon with arrows or bolts.
For me it's GOTY. But...
I've got to admit - if you're going to play it, play it on vacation. This game requires tons of time and dedication.
Oh, and please, please review Serious Sam HD. I suck at Serious Sam games)))

lol that was great. after all these easy games came out, people seem to have gotten too used to "their hands being held as if the game was a creepy uncle."
games are supposed to be challenging.
