    Man I love this game. Very difficult, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding. The storyline and quests were rather nebulous but the combat, exploration, and leveling up were superb. I think I played through +++ mode before I was finally able to put it down.

    The only reason I'm waiting to get this is because I know it will suck me in for days at a time.

    this game is totally awesome and engaging but what kinda lets me down is the storyline, there isnt an interesting story line!!... thus i play more skyrim... dark souls is an excelent level up + fighting game though..but this isn`t exaclty an rpg game...

    I've had this game since launch and somehow (aside from Silent Hill: Downpour, which i picked up yesterday) its still the only game I play. It pretty much trumped Skyrim to the point that whenever I try to play it, I get bored in 5 min and go back to Dark Souls. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Game of 2011.

    I really do hope that the announcement they are going to say later this month is about the PC version

  • DefstonedPT

    Posted Mar 12, 2012 10:20 am GMT

    30$??really? bought it 20 min. ago for 14€! Funny point of this is that in my country(Portugal) games are super expensive (starting at 60€) ! nice buy even if im going to brake a controller =P

    This game was ebery bit as difficult as they said it was. Remember the Orstein and Smough boss fight. But yeah you're right, incredibly awesome game.

    This game isn't as difficult as people say it is, you just have to know what you are doing, and know when to hit and when not to. I didn't think any game could beat out Chrono Trigger as my favorite, but this one did.

    I just bought Demon's Soul's and I am loving it... the day I finish it is the day I buy Dark Souls

  • iGBx

    If your still debating if you should buy this game or not. Stop, just go and buy it. You will not be disappointed. I rate it 10/10

    Demon's Souls is probably the best game I ever played (including all the Zeldas, FF-VII, etc). Can't wait to get Dark Souls when I have the time... once more into the breach, dear friends.
