Another AAA PS3 Exclusive: Demon’s Souls
Not even the Xbox-biased gaming press can ignore the sleeper hit of the year which, by the way, is exclusive to the Playstation 3.
“Its appeal may be niche, but for those who appreciate a challenging and ultimately very rewarding game in a genre that’s poorly represented not only on the PS3 but in this entire console generation, Demon’s Souls is an absolute must have.” – AceGamez 10/10
“The game is very hard, but not unfairly so; each time you die, you’ll learn a bit more about the level, and you’ll be able to progress a bit further. I was very surprised with what I found in Demon’s Souls.” – RPGamer 5/5
“If you like RPGs in general, though, you’ll find one of the better, most challenging quests of your life — one well worth picking up. But you may want to clear off any games in your backlog beforehand.” – 1up A+
“Every single person that owns a PS3 should at the very least rent this game to see what all the fuss is about, and those that can remember the good ol’ days when games taught through the highly effective use of negative reinforcement and a heavy price for not playing it carefully should scoop this up instantly. It’s utterly unique among the offerings on any console right now, and absolutely, positively should not be missed.” – IGN 9.4/10
“It’s stoic, uncompromising, difficult to get to know, but also deep, intriguingly disturbed and perversely rewarding. You can learn to love Demon’s Souls like few other games in the world. But only if you’re prepared to give yourself over to it.” – Eurogamer 9/10
The year of the PS3 continues…
How about all of the positive reviews that Forza 3 got? You ignored all of those. In addition Forza 3 has received a higher metacritc score than this “game”.
Also erik, how many times have we heard “another AAA POS3 Exclusive” only to be a major let down in sales : Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, MGS4, etc.
The only game that seems even remotely good to me is MAG, if they can really pull of 256 players. Otherwise, crappy line up!
Saying the year of the PS3 continues would imply that it ever began.
AAA PS3 exclusive? If you say so!
I’d take 10 so-so 360 and Wii titles over one so-called PS3 AAA game, as they tend to be all hype and no fun.
To be fair MGS4 was a decent game. Not as good as 3, but better than 2.
Tsk Tsk, Uncharted 2 alone has a higher score in metacritic than any other exclusive on the 360 erik And xbox360ftw stop playing the sale’s game . i never remember people bringing this up during the ps2 era. im not playing to buy stocks or anything so i dont care if they sell or not as long as i get to play it on my ps3.

Uncharted? Ugh, no. I think I’ve said my peace on that one and don’t feel I need explain further. So you can play Unwanted 2 and Two Demons one Soul all you want. But don’t expect everyone to like it.
So far erik,every person that has played it has love it. i think that even if you get to play uncharted 2 and you get to enjoy it , You would probably deny it just to put the ps3 down. Even major nelson who is a major 360 fanboy is planning to buy the game. its really surprising that the 2 most rated exclusive games are ps3 games and the list will only get longer with exclusive games like the last guardian and God of war 3.

I was also told that if I played the original Uncharted by someone here that I would like it. I did not like it. So I very seriously doubt that anything would be different this time around.
Oh i see that you playing the killzone 2 card. That just because the 1st one suck [Uncharted 1 didnt suck] the second one must fail too. Well i guess u are one of the few people that dont like it . What is your type of game anyways? Space marine? aliens? brown and black colors type of games?
I played the original uncharted, it did indeed suck. And yes, Killzone 2 sucked as well. Just like I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt it would even before the token gesture of even playing it.
As for the games I like. Well I can tell you the games I own.
PC: Half-Life 2, Stalker
360: Dead Rising, Crackdown, Fallout 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, GTA4, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Ghostbusters, F.E.A.R.
PS3: MGS4, LBP, InFamous, Prototype, Bad Company(would have bought this on the 360, but I found a PS3 version on the cheap), Silent Hill Homecoming(same as Bad Company), Resistance(my drink coaster)

Yeah way too show everyone that you made a valid point by comparing a racing game to a RPG. But once again you show how ignorant you are by judging a games quality without having one ounce of proof to back up your opinion. Too be fair I haven’t played Demon’s Souls yet, but the difference is that I’m waiting to hold my opinion of it untill I’ve actually played the game. For example lets say this is my opinion of Mass Effect, “Mass Effect is complete garbage even though I haven’t played it, and its sequel will be crap as well even though it ain’t out yet. And by that logic all Bioware games suck even though I never played any of there games.”
That doesn’t make much sense now does it? And I know what you will come back with and I will save you the finger work; no I don’t play every game that comes out, but at least I don’t shit all over a game untill I’ve played it.

Uh-huh. If that is what you want to do then more power to you. I on the other hand think that its a colossal waste of time to play something that I know that I will dislike.
I hope it’s better than LAIR.
It probably will be better than Lair. Many things are better than Lair. Such as herpes for example.
ahah
“Two Demons one Soul”?
nice one
except not really, that was terrible and your ridiculous

Perhaps. But it’s not like such a game is even worth someone coming up with good insults for.
I pity the fool that dares not to play Demon’s Souls.
Keep playing your soulless racing games and repetitive fps’s. Games like this are only for the chosen ones…
@Xbotkiller
Soulless racing games like Gran Turismo 5 and repetitive fps like Killzone 2?
Yeah, still not playing Demon’s Stools.
this game is that good and its just burried under the thoursands of other AAA ps3 exclusives
