Edge: Playing Demon's Souls makes me a boring person.
I've been playing the game. A lot. And I love it. A lot. The other night I spent hours with it, and in those hours, all I did was farm the same sections again and again, futz around with my gear, gain a few soul levels, and kill one Vanguard demon - and I killed him by shooting about fifty arrows into his forehead while he just stood there scratching himself.
If you'd been sitting there watching me, you would have been screamingly, knuckle-suckingly bored. In fact, my wife kept walking by and asking, "Weren't you here before? Didn't you kill that thing before? Didn't you kill all those things?" Yessiree I did, but they didn't drop the large sharpstone I need for my +5 Falchion. And so I've gotta kill 'em again.
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.
It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃
Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?
ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game
Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.
The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.
They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.
Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.
If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.
Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!
Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..
Nonsense.
PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.
This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?
I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
Replies(2)I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.
I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch
I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
*Yawn*
Yeah buddy, If it's too hard for you, you can just admit it.
Some may disagree it seems.
Okay apparently you can't admit this game is too hard for ya. Wouldn't want to look like a pu**y after all.
I gotta say I got a PS3 for demon soul's alone and i m not disappointed. Way after the thrill of Shambala (UC2) has passed I find myself launching Soul Rays at hordes of BP's, grinding for gear and using the wiki as my unholy bible.
I gotta admit Demon souls isnt great to the onlooker, but thats not the point! How can a mere mortal bystander feel the tug of the Nexus?
Demon Soul allows me to slay Archdemons and caputre their very essence... but alas the game itself has stolen mine lol :) and i m loving it :)
"We shall give them death and they will love us for it.."
This guys Article is boring. And his taste in games is boring.
Bubble for you mate. Seen a few of your posts and know your a proud reaper :)
The article lacked soul :) the irony.... just glad it gave me an excuse to make my second post in 2 years :)
"I am here for thee alone." (Yeah right what about that blue phantom i just saw you with hoe!!!!)
EDIT: I may have given the wrong impression, the article itself made me laugh out cus I can relate. It's just the negative title for flame bait and my guilty conscious over how i havent done any work cus of demon 'crack' :) ... my bad.
Edge's reviewers are usually to play racing games and frenetic mindless shoot'em up.their taste in games are very strange and boring.hardcore games are a nightmare for them.this speak very well their awful reviews and boring scores.however this time it's very strange to read a positive article from them about an hardcore game like demon souls and a ps3 exclusive.
