EDIT NOTICE: Before you read this I would like to explain to you that my main issues with the game are these :
I feel it does not qualify as an RPG of any kind because bar the "design your character"
Part there is next to no story (Compare Dark Souls to Skyrim and you know what I mean, or better yet tell me immediately what the undead burg is what the lore behind it is how it got there why all its denizens are gone why I'm supposed to go there, who the knights are that lurk about the place, who the guys in the graveyard were etc etc etc. )
I feel there is no ACTUAL difficulty to the game , it's a suicide trial or a lesson on how to tuck and roll either way there is nothing in the game that's actually difficult, there's just the impossibility of doing something and doing it so many times it suddenly becomes possible.
I feel it's a bit bland it's mostly gray and empty with little to show for it.
Partly belonging with story but I find having conversations that go anywhere is a bit difficult for this game.
For the rest just hit me up and I'll discuss it as posted below as an OP.
I know you first posters are going to be the "IT'S DIFFICULT SO IT HAS TO BE GOOD" crowd.
Let me tell you off immediately like so : I don't have to think about doing anything in demon souls I just have to run into the grubs with my axe head first enough times till I get pas them.
Which means it's not challenging or difficult or complex more relatively easy though difficult to execute at times(the entire time sorry).
Now I bought demon souls thinking I was buying an RPG/Action RPG/GAME
But I didn't find much of it in my playthrough.
The only thing I found myself doing was moving through a landscape trying not to die as much to see more of the landscape, oh and pick some stuff up along the way because it's very important apparently but nobody is going to explain to me what the hell I'm supposed to do before I've done it.
I'm thrown in to this "huge" fantasy world without much explaining of where I am or what I'm supposed to do , there's no characters that hold up real conversation and all I know for the rest there's a lot of enemies who're going to kill me and the combat tends to be quite shoddy so I have to do everything about 20 thousand times to get through somewhere.
There's the usual "Create you're character so and so" and the "Collect experience to lvl up"
But besides that I'm not noticing much rpg because I lack a god damn story.
I looked it up on wikipedia and there actually is a story , bar the starting tale
I couldn't be arsed to play anymore to actually reach the story part because the game faced me with 3 enemies in 3 different directions that would 1 shot me into oblivion every time and I had not known wtf was going on up till there
See if you're giving me combat then It's supposed to be useful and I'm supposed to be enjoying fighting, instead I'm looking for cheap cop out ways to kill something that if it sniffs me it kills me.
Yes I eventually ventured further but there was no feeling of achievement there was just plain nothing, I'm stuck in a dreary world with dreary people gone mad , no real story and everything being covered with a fine layer of gray.
I have yet to learn how you can enjoy this game being nothing but a challenge nut (Even though as I said there is no real challenge you're just doing something a hundred/thousand times till it actually works and then you move on to the next part where you're doing the exact same)
If someone can elaborate for me how this is such a great game without going "OMG BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S SUCH A CHALLENGE"
I am willing to listen to a sound view.
But nobody can deny there isn't much of a story, gameplay element or motivation in this game rather then "I don't want to die oh wait I can't die let's try this again till I can get past it alive for once "
