WTF is wrong with people. Go buy this great game!!!! Only 100,000 in three weeks and COD6 get almost 5 million in 2 days!! Dude you'll get more time in this game than all of COd6, including mp!

Sigh.

Sorry for the outburst.

Hillbilly

Play it first then come back and talk.
Go to teh leaderboards and you will see tons of people who have more than 250 hours in this game. You will have to beat it at least three times just to get platinum. It also 1000 times more interested than COD6. I beat COd6 twice in under 11 hours, which is 2 hours less than it took me to beat Uncharted 2 once. MP is good but not as fun as Uncharted mp, the same as COD4. Also I spent too much time looking for people to kill cause there is only like 12 people or something in mp. Lame.

Also 2 years playing cod 4 and now two year with cod6? I think you need to buy more games.

Yeah right, you're joking right? Sure this game is good but not that good. Two years running with COD4 and plan to spend two years in MW2... Can't see anybody playing Demon's Souls for two years straight.

@Hill_billy

Actually you couldnt be more wrong lol ...
Quite a few of us have been playing since it's asian release in february and it's far from coming to a stop .

Even if its multiplayer is unconventional , that kind of multiplayer dungeon crawler die really hard . Cod got nothing on Diablo 2's replay value .

Especially when many cod players might actually get bored enough to jump on the next cod .

Unless you absolutely hate HAck&slash or rpgs Demons Souls is a must buy.

I'm sure Atlus is pretty pleased with DS sales BUT for a game of this quality 100+K is really sad. In this age of arcadey shooters, neither good rpgs nor platformers stand a chance among the "casual" hardcore.

I read some amazon reviews and the gamers were describing Demons Souls, and i saw something special about this title. I went for the Deluxe Edition because i thought this rare gem deserves to be bought in its best. Boy was i right or what! this game is a game changing experience. after dying over and over again you gain appreciation for perseverance in video gamer that rewards you greatly when you beat the task at hand.

I love this game, and i recommend it to anyone, even if they don't consider themselves hardcore gamers, is such a gem

It took me 2 in a half years to beat FF12 once lol. Rpg's have the longest playing time imo. Especially if you have to backtrack. I did all the hunts in FF12 & got to level 99(all characters). I did not play it everyday though, kept switching games. Rpg's have the element of pursuading you to get/find everything in the game which results in a long play time. Hell even the older FF's would take a while to beat depending on how often you play. Now playing rpg's online would totally last me a long time. Next up for me to beat is SOTC.

BTW my favorite hunt was trickster. That chokobo was fast lol!

first thing first, congrats on a great game getting good sales to show that their is a market for this kind of game. I know we have not been able to keep our copies in stock and have been ordering some on a regular basis.

but pls oh pls can people stop saying this game is for everyone and that everyone should go and buy it? Because it is not, at all.

btw, why are some of you even bothering with the troll Hill_Billy? You do know that he wins the second you try explaining to him why his retarded comment is well....retarded.

Awesome, awesome game. It's strange, but I don't really place it in the same realm as an Uncharted 2 or MW2. It's a whole different level...it's just such an innovative game-changer and there's nothing out there remotely like it. They basically invented the semi-multiplayer online game...we need a term for this. "Multi-single player"? "MSP"? Whatever it's called it's f***ing amazing.

The fact that it came from such a minor developer, and was published stateside by an even more minor publisher, just adds to the intrigue of it all.

This game needs to get some kind of special honors award. I think Uncharted 2 will get GOTY, but DS deserves some kind of recognition. The long term influence it will have will be undeniable.

And if Dragon Age gets RPG of the Year over this, that would be an absolute crime. They are very different games, and Dragon Age has a good story and great production values, but Demons Souls is BY FAR the more innovative and addictive title.

@frosty

This game had a big input from SCE Japan, in design and production. I read SCEJ asked FRom to develop some sort of King Fields spiritual sequel but not a straight sequel cause they wanted to change fundamentals gameplay aspects.

Knowing the record of FROM producing so-so games is impossible to understand (w/o SCEJ) how this incredible game came to fruition.

I agree that DS is on another level. The most innovative game in quite a while. While I'm looking forward to play DA (BioWare is pretty good at storytelling), game hardly can beat DS in revolutionary gameplay. Probably the "casuals" will rob DS its status as best RPG (by far) this year.

Went to Best Buy on it's release date and found out that the game wasn't there. I asked one of the employees if they had Demon's souls in stock only to find out that the kid never heard of the game, and it wasn't even in their system.

I was pretty shocked. I guess this game is more of a under hyped and hidden gem of a game most people, even the retailers fail to consider. So 150K was pretty impressive.

On a side note - Quit luring me into a trap you damn tricky blue gecko!

I haven't tried coop yet, but the few times I got invaded was pure cheap @ss scraping spear! Can't even fight like a man. Just scraping spear till your everything breaks! Had to start fighting with fists!

Those weapons ruined the competitive! They don't even have a purpose in the single player.

facelike - 48 days 9 hours ago

Dude, buy the game. This game is harder than most of the recent game releases because it doesn't hold your hand. What makes this game good is the challenge, and it will pull a competitive spirit out of you and somehow make you say to yourself after you die "just one more try, I know I can beat that SOB". But when you do play this kind of game, your skills will greatly increase.

The reason why your buddy has way better gaming skills than you is because he takes on these challenges. If you play that game, you will play better, don't cop out, get some intestinal fortitude and buy this game. Your rewards in satisfaction will greatly be worth it. I'm not even far, but when I beat that first boss, I stood tall and proud was like "yesssss!!!!!"

That was worth every second I put into it.

You're missing one of the most rewarding experiences of the decade...I sh** you not.

Beating the ever living crap out of a damn-fool red phantom player who has selfishly invaded YOUR game to get their body back is just an epic feeling...and the dread you feel before that, knowing the dirty bastard is sneaking around the level looking to screw you over, is equally powerful, especially given that the levels are hard enough as it is.

I damn near jumped out of my chair cheering one time when an invader saw my sword (Northern Regalia, mofo!!!), tried to flee, and I chased him down and succeeded in backstabbing him like the sniveling rat he was. :-)

Well, I have to say, when you live in canada and go to amazon.com, it throws you back at amazon.ca (where it was sold out for a long while).

Now that I'm broke, I'll have to wait about a month to shop for this.

@15 clearly a dumbass that doesn't know that atlus always releases games in small or limited runs, buy online, if local shops don't have it, why don't they just release the na in europe but they probably have language requirements.

People need to understand this is not sony, ea or activision releasing the game atlus can't afford or won't make 1 million copies to fill the demand, they will probably do a 200 or 300 thousand run and wait and see how the demand is.

Even it being a kickass game, it's a very niche title in a smaller genre, almost everyone and their dog can get into shooters, rpgs don't have the same draw for whatever reason as shooters with the bulk of gamers.

i think that's the thing that most people are forgetting.

Atlus didn't send out millions upon millions of copies. I really doubt that there are even a million copies of this game in circulation in North America. This game sold well for how little advertising it had and it's a game that definitely strays away from the typical type of game most studios put out these days. I'm sure Atlus is very pleased with the results, and it's good too cause this sends a message to studios that there is an audience on console gaming that want games like Demon's Souls.

This is a game that people will still be talking about and playing 10 years from now.
