3xG: Demons Souls EU Review

3xG says: "Quick, easy and shallow are all words that would never be used to describe this game. With relentlessly difficultly, a feature-length story and over the top detail Demon’s Souls is a game worthy of a review to match, and thanks to the Pac-Man creators Capcom it’s coming to European shores!"

K-Tuck5110d ago

Geez, its less of a review and more of a FAQ. Is that a list of every single spell in the game?

WildArmed5109d ago

lol. was wondering the same thing.
Seems like the author went through a wiki (which he points out at the end of the FAQ/Review)
Or that he has put ALOT of time in the US Demons Souls.. then i dont blame him for going on and on.
I'd do the same if i were to write a review about it.
*screams*
GOTY XD lol

kenpachi5110d ago

awesome game, i imported this a few months back because i couldn't wait any longer to come out in europe, i recommend it for any who enjoys JRPG's and pick up an extra controller just in case i broke two in my first play through.

-Ikon-5110d ago

Ha yup. The best part about it all is, it wasn't the game being cheap it was your own stupid mistakes that make you rage break controller.

Aphe5110d ago

It's nothing like JRPGs though, it's in a class of its own.

RankFTW5110d ago (Edited 5110d ago )

I already have the Platinum for the US version of the game and can't wait to do it all again when the game comes out here at the end of the month. Also very detailed review and anyone thinking of getting the game should give it a read so they know what they are getting themselves in for.

Miraak82 5110d ago

I need my pure bladestone for platnium /sigh

bloodybutcher5109d ago

and i, since i've changed my psn id, have to get all trophies again:D so don't complain,you lucky bastard:P

Miraak82 5109d ago

ha, this is my second play-through , I was about to get platinum then I got ylod on my ps3 phat . lucky I love the game so much I played it again knowing what I knew, I breezed though it in half the time about lvl 360 now , I built my character to annihilate an a opponent in 1 slice :p but those damn bp skelly's refuse to drop it

PiTCHBLaCK5110d ago (Edited 5110d ago )

This game is frigging awesome and Addicting, so far I have about 20 hours logged in, I saw people that have over 200 hours in, when you go way up the stairs you can see other players who are ranked, I saw a few with 200+ hours LOL, I was like D+mn :).

It's a friggin awesome game, combat is allot like the PC game "Mount and Blade", you have to learn your opponent and swing on a timely manner.

Aphe5110d ago

It's one of the best games I've ever played. It's not as difficult as many people make out, it's just different. It's a game where skill and timing are the key to success. And what makes the game for me a classic is the sheer atmosphere, the lack of a consistant soundtrack makes things more tense and is a stroke of genius.

And contary to popular belief it is one of the best looking games on the ps3. I cannot stress enough that if you don't own a ps3, if you are a gamer, you owe it to yourself to get one and play this game.

And MP has never been done in the way this game has implemented it.

PiTCHBLaCK5109d ago

LOL, yeah the MP in DS is very clever.

for those who haven't played DS and don't know what we are talking about I'll explain.

If your PS3 is hooked up to the Internet it'll go on the DS server, and often times you'll see other people in soul forms playing and doing there thing, It is like a MMPOG but where you have your own Instance of game, so they don't affect your game and you don't affect theres, tho you can be Invaded by a Black Phantom who can fight you.

I fought one Black Phantom, not sure if it was a NPC or a player, I won pretty easily. Is there NPC Black Phantoms? maybe a more experienced player can answer that.

Apolloeye5109d ago

NPC Black phantoms will arrive at certain places if the tendency is pure black.

Glad the EURO gamers are getting a hold of this masterpiece

Aphe5110d ago

I imported it last year, sod waiting all this time to play it. Glad they eventually got it here, but still, what a pisstake. Europe is a big market, should have got it here ages ago.

thief5110d ago

Cant agree more. I bought this imported for £65 a few months back – what a rip off!

stevenhiggster5110d ago

I know it doesn't really matter but is it not Namco who are publishing it in the EU not Capcom as he stated?

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas4d ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome3d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh3d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine3d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor3d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

Cacabunga3d ago

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21833d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer19923d ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H94d ago

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-643d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H93d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere3d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan3d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg3d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel3d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast3d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21833d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss113d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast2d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel9d ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga9d ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot9d ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B9d ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga9d ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb8d ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya8d ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

fsfsxii9d ago

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid9d ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman9d ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Come on State of Play already!!!

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

MeteorPanda18d ago

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.
