Zero Punctuation: Demon's Souls

[Bored_Chris]

I imported the game before it came out in like.. July and I lovedd the game. But your review was simply hilarious, loved it.

So what makes for good difficulty. What makes games too easy or too hard?

You cant even pause it?!

Well screw that ...

Thanks man.

You can't pause most online games. You just have to find a safe spot. Nothing new comes to an area you've cleared out.

I'm too lazy to go back and look up the quote, but someone said anyone who buys/doesn't buy a game based on Yahtzee's review is a moron.

I'd like to extrapolate on that: Anyone who buys/doesn't buy a game based on any review is a moron. Try it for yourselves

That was me! Though I will say reviews are a useful tool to determine whether I should drop 60 bones on something. No review should be taken as law but if you don't do some research you're just being careless with your money.

As's someone who gets a big, sweaty, half-chub every time someone mentions Demons'sss Souls. I have to say that i loved this review and only wish it were longer. Best review in awhile. (its always better when he reviews a game you like)

Also that "Supposed to die" battle... its not really. ya, you can win that...(with accompanied loot) I however have not...

Yeah, I should've said "if you buy a game based solely on the review". I think reviews are good to get a basis on what the game is generally about; like how the combat or other mechanics work

Demon's Souls is an amazing game...I actually thought Yahtzee might like this one, oh well.

 

[jboking]

Ah yes, Demon's Souls. The game that can't be won without a strategy guide or so many retries that you lose any semblance of a social life.

 

[DigitalSushi]

What,it's not my fault your annie and cant take getting hit by:A SMOOTH CRIMINAL!

I'd like to retract my previous statement with regards to you being a troll and state your just a bit rubbish.

 

[technotica]

In demons souls case, the combat is actually quite amazing. It requires skill. (ya rly)

Everything I hear about this game makes me want to play it more and more. I really do enjoy a good challenge so long as it's possable for me to win. Like the boss fights in Dragon age when the Leveling system works, those are fun.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

You live next door to a goat, that must be fun, a lot of city folk never get to see farm animals.. lol

 

[SAMAS]

Did anyone else get the feeling like reading someone's first thoughts playing Super Kaizo World or I Wanna Be The Guy?

Some people just like their games to be brutally difficult.

 

[Captain Kangaroo PIMP]

i guess he never got the blue eye stones

 

[varoksa]

hehe i found the game pretty easy ... guess im just better at it than yahtzee is
also i wonder what he would think of what happens when you beat the game , everything does pretty much 3 times more damage XD

This is perfect for you, then.

Fairness? Not an issue. Demon's Souls strikes a fine line between very, yet still bearably difficult, and unfair.
If you can withstand the long, painful, and ball-breakingly tough journey that proceeds it, the victory is all the more sweet... As cliche'd as that sounds.

 

[Smudge91]

I enjoyed this one. Lately the humour has gone a bit dry and boring but as theres something new and shiney i will stop complaining.
Also who the hell thinks its a good idea to make a game that hard?

 

[magnuslion]

excellent as always.

 

[daedrick]

Very good review, finaly a game with a challenge, I must play that game. Good. Very good. And Im glad you got stomped, become a real player now... Hardcore games or nothing, always on hard mode, and always use the worst weapon in every game. Thats how manly games are played by manly players.

HOOHAA...

 

[varoksa]

wish he got up to the bits where you get stomped by players who invade that would have been hilarious to ninja kill yahtzee with my pvper or at least got up to the tower knight that dude is my fav boss almost just cos of the awesome soundtrack
