  • Depois de 150 horas de jogo jogando por mais de 1 ano consegui platinar o jogo. Este Jogo valeu a Pena pra mim é o melhor RPG já feito, Parabéns ATLUS.

  • I stopped watching when I heard about trial and error.

  • @DiarrheaChain Your loss man

  • i got the demons souls platinum trophy.....i have to say it is not very hard....just for beginners...if you get used to the controls and how the game works...and if you skill your char correctly...you should be able to get it done

  • @BlackLionShooter90 !respect

  • I personally prefer no difficulty. That's why I like Superman Returns. lol

  • Should I get this game before I get dark souls

  • @MultiGuest7 There is no connection in the story or anything like that afaik. If you want to play the prequel, then go ahead. I know I will :D

  • Should I get this or Dragon Age Origins?

  • @mustarsic

    THIS

  • @mustarsic Get both since neither are expensive these days and both kick fucking ass!

  • @mustarsic Origins might be my favorite of all time

  • @McTimbers

    Yeah, I bought both yesterday. Will probably start with Origins so I don't get frustrated haha. School already pisses me off

  • I watch a lot of Gamespot and IGN reviews, and I can honestly say. This is one of the best I've seen so far. Well Done!

  • im thinking of getting this game or dragon origins.... they both look pretty fun. but this looks really hard but im willing to play a game until i beat it but is it that frustrating as the reviewer says it is? i dont want anything impossible.

  • @shadowkill555 that`s bullshit. i dont think its too hard,and to be honest,you dont need to die that much. but it is intense. i mean,i WILL die if you let your guard down,that`s for sure,even if you`re facing a pie.

  • @dudutzFO Lol @ pie.

  • @shadowkill555 its not to bad if you upgrade your weapons, but trust me once you beat a boss you will have the since of accomplishment that you have never had before.

  • lol, what an epic way to end the review!! xDD

  • never played it but ive finished dark souls im planning on buying it asap !!

  • if ur dark world tendency new enemies will appear, such as red phantoms, tougher version of enemies that can rlly be total dicks at times, in dark world tendency monsters have a higher chance to drop upgrade stones and less healing items, white world tendency is opposite, more healing less upgrades, in the game when the enemies get tougher they will also give u more souls and red phantoms drop a shit tone more souls then normal mobs, some weapons may also be tougher according to ur tendency

  • the game only gets harder if u die in human form, because the "world tendency" gets darker, if u kill bosses they get easier cos the world tendency gets whiter, if u die in soul form nothing changes, in soul form u have half health (or 75% health with a special ring) u can get to human form if u either use "stone of ephemeral eyes", killing bosses or be revived by a friend online (with a miracle), there are certain places where u can only access if ur white/dark world tendency

  • I would like this game so much more if there where checkpoints or savepoints but there aren't sadly .. Once u die ( and u will ) u gotta start all over again and u lose you're souls

  • Ok iv played about 15 hours of this game so far and to anyone wondering if this gem is going to be too hard, it's not too hard. It takes ALOT of patience though which makes you focus. online guides help a lot and it's not too hard for anyone Bc anyone can beat it it just takes a lot of patience and trial and error. The difficulty draws you in soo well though like on the first level a dragon came into my view and I yell "holy shit now I gotta face dragons" and I never yell while I play games. It

  • @btd978 Have you met Maneater and Flamelurker? =P

  • @btd978

    agree with most of what you said except with this "it's not too hard...online guides help a lot"

    if you can't beat this game without looking stuff up, you can't say you truly beat it.

    of course it'll be easy if i tell you that a certain boss is really easy with one specific spell the challenge is to figure it out by yourself, which most likely people won't do on their first try

    maybe u arent looking everything up, but i dont agree it's easy figuring everything, it takes a lot of deaths

  • @btd978 what saying its not hard and using online guide, are u serious , when game devlopers made game they didnt made it so ppl use internet for reference, u can use it but atleast do first playthrough urself, my SL is 367 and i have spent great amount of time in this game,but i can definately say its too hard, .....wanna see ur face fighting maneater on ng+5.

  • This game is so fucking awesome!! I'm playing it for 10 hours straight.

  • Zelda.

  • @redfoxbennaton fail..

  • @GeoBlack4 yeah, I know right. The intro music too.

  • Comment removed

  • He´s the only one, thats makes good reviews, for gamespot.

  • It's a difficult game. And I've died alot already. But I haven't really gotten mad at the game. Even though its very difficult, its never unfair or cheap, the controls are so solid, that when I die, I know its my fault. Its really about trial and error. Granted, I'm still in the beginning of the game, I made it to the second world, and I'm sure I haven't even experienced how difficult this game will get. But so far, I think this game is brilliant. Not for the faint of heart though.

  • is this game like reallly hard? i want to get it but i dont want it to be impossible. is their like an easy difficulty? lol

  • @shadowkill555 you should get dark souls now, since it's out, and it's much better (even though this game is awesome as well)

    This game is hard if you don't know what you're doing. In the beginning you might struggle and almost give up, but hang in there, because it draws you in, and it really pays off.

  • @shadowkill555 don't listen to the other guy...well actually DO listen to him. he's right, both games are fantastic, but i HIGHLY recommend you play demons souls first. dark souls dwarfs it because of the incredible amount of gear and customization options, and it is a longer experience overall. but demons souls really is better in terms of ambiance and story. play both games, but play demons souls first!

  • @deliman but are they too hard? can i play on easy and still survive?

  • @shadowkill555

    its pretty hard, but you just need patience, attack one by one, don't just smash your buttons quickly, time ur attack

  • @shadowkill555 there are no difficulty settings on this game. but like the other two people have said, all you need to beat this game are time and patience. and there is an incredibly helpful demons souls wiki online that you can use if you're stuck or don't understand something.

  • @deliman there is a slight difficut mode, if you constantly died a lot. The monsters gets harder and harder until it reached the peak that it can kill you if you are not careful. Early in the game, you get adjusted to the controls and dodging is an important factor in the game.

  • @shadowkill555

    its only hard for people that dont have patience and carefull, you just need to be careful where you're walking, how you would attack and things like that, and then its pretty easy

  • @shadowkill555 my thoughts exactly! I think I'm going to rent it firstttt!!

  • @TheMonkeydluffy455 tell me how it is

  • this happy go lucky music is not representing the game

  • 6:50

    NO $#!^!!!!

    :)

  • this is what diablo 3 should look like...not some cartoon network rubbish that it is now

  • @koolaid20100 This game is nothing like Diablo 2 or Diablo 3. If Diablo 3 looked like this, it wouldn't even be Diablo. The stylized graphics give it a crisp and clean look that I find very awesome. Diablo 1 and 2 were both very similar to Diablo 3's art style, Diablo 3 just has a lot more polygons to work with.

    Besides, this art style wouldn't work with the gameplay style of Diablo.

  • best game of its decade now dark souls is one of the best games THIS decade

  • Without a doubt the best game this generation.

  • @FalconCrestlover73 :O Ok thanks bro! I still believe I haven't picked any of these up!

  • I wonder if anyone has ever beaten this without dying?

  • save point existe?

  • @marques9191 Auto-save.

  • This game is not easy, but the difficulty was definitely over-hyped.

  • OMG, everybody watch the Gamespot review of Deus Ex. this guy lost weight!

  • neh i found this game tough

  • I pre-ordered this game, got it the first day it came out, and i gotta tell you I LOVE THIS GAME. If you are thinking about getting it, what are you waiting for GET IT!

  • gamespot reviews suck, its like they just try to kiss ass to keep the developers happy.

  • damn when watching this, there is some things i miss in dark souls that is in demon soul. i mean, first, the ''let you see other ppls spirit is not as good as in demon soul its just feels rushed, . the grafik isnt nearly as high as in demon souls' + demon souls look like it has more polish overall . or is it just me, im lvl 28 and playing dark souls atm.

  • @MikkiZHskDK It's probably because the overall scope of Dark Souls is bigger, and i'm pretty sure they're using the same engine.

  • @MikkiZHskDK no i think youre right but dont forget that demons souls was exclusive witch means more attention to detail and the developer back then was making something entirely new not caring THAT much about getting the game in every console evailable

  • I beat this game. It was hard, but god dammit, I did it.

  • Kuni* :p

  • Hurry up delivery guy! im watching this waiting for my ps3 lolz, after seeing ni no kuno and dark souls i decided to get a ps3 /wooo bought demons souls yesterday so gonna do that first :D pass the time until Guild Wars 2

  • @SuperGamerDan ahh sorry i got the dragon bone crusher and ever since i been crushing things as if they were dragon bones :( BUT I AMS PLAYING DARK SOULS NAO D:

  • this is 2011 where would i be able to buy this game

  • This game wasn't as hard as i thought it was people were making it out to be impossible, then i played it and it wasn't AS hard as some people were making it out to be, Don't get me wrong it was a nice challenge just not as hard as some people were saying.

  • @Icebolt666 you just said the same thing 3 times.

  • @callummcintyre No I lied 3 times cause i wanted to sound like i could do anything, but i couldn't get pass the first level!

  • this looks like shit, why are there no "good" medi-evil games nowadays

  • @benny6555 agree...play assassins creed instead

  • @Shotcalm

    i played that, the new one brotherhood but i completed the game and all the contracts and im lvl 50 on multiplayer so now theres nothing left for me to do on it

  • @benny6555 just keep playing and before you ask why just for the fun of it

  • @benny6555 its a matter of opinon , the same thing can be said for ww2 games you can only recycle something so many times

  • @benny6555 when were there?

  • Dark souls is already released in my country ... Its definitely not as good as demons souls !!

  • Hands down one of the best games of this generation.

  • im looking forward to gamespots dark souls review. kevin is reviewing it and i know he wont take points off for it "not being for timid gamers" like the clown at ign. the target audience is fans of demons souls. obviously its not for the fucking timid. thats a plus.

  • Why did i missed this game? ah no matters I already per-order Dark souls =D

  • Just on the second level and died 50+ times and still hooked on it

  • @TheBowser701

    keep at it my friends, and you will prevail

  • @TheBowser701 died like 100+ at first level, i was raging, yet i had this mighty urge to keep playing.. im scared man, im scared

  • this game continues to fascinate me. I'm incedibly glad to have joined in on the fun half a year ago. Thanks to Illionthebrave's Let's play... 

  • easily dies after all that armor

  • Best review

  • most of these deaths look like fucking noobs lol

  • @druha10304 what is a noob

  • Only on PS3? No wonder I never heard of this before, that's bullshit...

  • @Davey850 dark souls is out in 8 days ;) for Xbox and PS3

  • An entire generation of gamers raised on Halo and Call of Duty has never trudged through an epic journey like this, something on the scale of intricacy and difficulty of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Dark Souls is Zelda, all grown up, evil.

  • Should I get Dark Souls?

  • @1616Jman YES, for sure.

  • @lamenotcool YEA YEA YEA!!!!

  • Thumbs up and or message me if you still play demon souls in 2011 because i need back up D:

  • @GamerTopHat ill fuckin play wit ya whats your psn name?? i need back up too Dx

  • all year... i think you mean untill dark souls is released

  • Hey yall! Um I wanna buy dark souls, but then I see kids beat it in less than an hour, on speed runs?! WTF can somebody tell me if my 65$ is worth it, and will it take me 50+ hours to beat it or like 5 hours... Omg I don't kno what to do! (p.s I never played Demon Souls)

  • @mcrem32 download it ftom TPB

  • @mcrem32 Speed runs are always using clever ways to beat the game as fast as possible. Both Demon's and presumably Dark Souls have a LOT of gameplay. I've played Demon's Souls for about 100 hours and I still don't have the platinum trophy. And I love every second.

  • easiest game of the year 2009.

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast I love how just because you can finish this game makes it Easy...

  • @TheSandvich1 i think he was being sarcastic....

  • @TheSandvich1 He should try playing "dismantle a national landmark using only your chin", might be just about difficult for him.

  • @TheSandvich1 It's fairly obvious he was being sarcastic....

  • @TheSandvich1 he probably beat it two weeks ago XD

  • @TheSandvich1 I love how you don't understand that he's joking....

  • @Joeyg143 I love how you are a Complete jogger, and I realise he is being Sarcastic so am I.

  • @TheSandvich1 hes being sarcastic at least i think he is or else hes just retarded.

  • Comment removed

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast so you can complete old king doran by yourself? i doubt it haha!! wat lv are you even? bet your not even over 100 xDDD

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast sarcasm at its best

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast Lol, how is this easy exactly?

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast so call of duty is harder?

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast Really? So CoD is tougher? Assassins creed is tougher? Hello Kitty's Big Outdoor Adventure is tougher? (I don't know if that is even a game)

  • @randomshytFTW lol.....there are many rpgs who are hard on the hardest lvl....demon's soul is not hard....its unfair......it just isnt.....there are only 2 arguments from demons souls cause its god....1. the atmosphere (yes the atmosphere is great) and 2. its hard...wow haha common....

  • I didn't die once

  • @TheSnugglesaurus wow you are amazing

  • @TheSnugglesaurus keep thinking that my little champion

  • DOPE Game

  • is there a bug where when u pull the lever to release the water on the lava and nothing happens?

    (in 2-1)

  • @twerpet115 no never happened in30 playthrought... r u sure?

    

  • @MONBLACK17 yes i am sure i pulled the lever and the water didnt make the lava hard

  • @MONBLACK17 yea im sure i cant pull the lever and the lava is not hard

  • how do i get the dragon sword? the one where u stab a guy and it sets him on fire

    HELP!!!

  • @twerpet115

    Its in 2-2 in the end by the far side of the lava up in a long cave, in the cave stick to the right. Google demon souls walktrough if u need more directions. I been using it alot its a good sword (My first playtrough)

  • i have to ask, how does that invade system works ? if i'm logged in psn the time i play the game, can i be invade by some lv99 pro anytime? or is there a "online" option in the main menu?

  • @gomes1258 I'm not a "pro" at the game yet, I'm currently on my 4th New Game though.

    I usually play offline, I dislike being invaded when I'm trying to get Pure White Tendency.

    Players can invade you at anytime (except in the Nexus) if your playing online, you can't turn it off unless you switch the Internet off.

    I think your only invaded by those around your level and once you finish a world I believe they don't appear.

    Check a wiki for more detailed descriptions.

    Btw, level 712 is the max.

  • @mujuma oh thanks!

  • You reviewed this with passion.

  • I have beaten this game around 20 times and am still not tired of it. Favorite game of all time <3

  • @LuketheJuke24 you would enjoy megaman.

  • @emlmm88 Very true. In fact, I love megaman and own the X Collection, Megaman Zero Collection, and have played most of the classic ones. Hard video games are the shit.

  • @LuketheJuke24 yh man, i loved mega man 9 and 10... just because they are hard

  • @1SWINZ1 Oh and Ghouls n' Ghosts for Sega Genesis is also one of my favorite games, and part of the reason I loved Demon's Souls is that it's basically the 3D, next-gen equivalent to that game (a bunch of levels with varying environments, imaginative enemies, a protaganist who doesn't stand a fucking chance, etc). If you like Demon's Souls you'd probably love that series too.

  • @LuketheJuke24 yh man, ghouls n ghosts is amazing, one of my all time fav games! i still havvnt beat it tho haha

  • @LuketheJuke24 You've read my mind, thats how i've been explaining this game to my friends!

  • some of the bosses in this game make it hard as fuck! i've given up.

  • @excop360 what bosses? I had a real hard time with Tower Knight my first playthrough.

    Perhaps I could help, though I am a Magic based character.

  • @mujuma in the storm of shrines land second boss. 2 hits and i'm dead even after leveling up many. and third boss in first land like a big knight at the top of the stairs. now i have started again with the character that starts with soul arrow spell and rare ring maybe i do better this time i hope.

  • @excop360 Old Hero? take advantage of him being blind, as I said I'm a Magic based character so most Bosses I use fireball/soul ray. Maybe try leveling up your magic? I can't help with him in sword based combat sorry, I never tried.

    Tower Knight you mean? or the Penetrator? Tower Knight is easy once you understand his attack patterns, and again I used magic on the Penetrator (probably getting that wrong), I never got hit.

    Royality is the best class for beginners, Soul Arrow works wonders.

  • @mujuma thanks for help

  • that looks like a beginner sword @.@ i mean i havent played in a while so idk but either way i got almost all the weapons and i think that was a beginner one? why is he using it if so.

  • man I wish this was coming out for for PC. I hate elder scrolls.

  • @izWeSoSoWeiz Demon's Souls and Dark Souls! =)

  • also fail at 5:10 the wording is messed should just say if ur in soul form cause if u have beat the boss u cant summon the two people fail lol

  • is this the japanese version with english beccause in my game im canadian it doesnt show the abreviation a.s after amor spider on the 2nd level

  • i wish this was on pc.. in a world where games have become so easy that you hardly ever die and are as easy as 123, this game, much like its ancestors looks very deep and for a thinker... my only complaint is that it's in 3rd person unlike, again, it's ancestors which were all 1st person and drew you in that much more because you can't see what's right behind you. btw those of you kiddos out there saying this game is like blah or blah, do your home work, the Kings Field line was out long before

  • what a awesome review about one of the most beautiful hard games i have ever played in my entire life

  • Did he really just complain about the ragdolls getting stuck on your feet?...

  • lol the boss at 3:12 was actually a real player the monk boss can summon real people to fight in his place=D

  • skyrim...

  • This game isnt that hard, not like this guy making it sound, Extremly hard bossfights etc. but its extremly epic =)

  • @jll99s2 its very hard as a beginner yes. when i first got the game it was freaking damn hard. but obviously after a while becomes easy since you know what to do. gotta give an opinion at first not after you finished the game and already know everything with tactics...

  • should i buy this or fallout 3?

  • @filipinoninja8 Tough call there buddy. both games are epic. Probably side with fallout 3.

  • @username5749 skyrim is better than dark souls...but i like demos souls better than oblivion. sky rims gameplay will be amazing and will have so much more content than dark souls but dark souls will be very good:)

  • people who "rage quit" leave now

  • this guy is the only good reviewer at gamespot

  • I have this game for a long time now, it's too bad i'm not a good loser... :P

  • lol, i think ive played through the story line about 6 times this game is sick

  • Im so hyped for Dark Souls now, I cant wait to relive my Demons Souls moments, this game stayed on my PS3 for 2 straight months I beat it 7 times, got to SL 192 and got the platinum :D I just hope Dark Souls lives up to it.

  • Now I have to find TheClitpuncher's PSN

  • Anyone who has demons souls - can you help me?!? I really need few items to finish my platinum trophy!! Will trade anything you want. Im SL 459 or something like that.. Thanks!! Message me or add me on PSN, my user name is - ChaosInferno

  • 0:33 opera singing dragon 0_o

  • This game may be hard, but as one who has beaten it almost twice, I think I am qualified to say that it is still FAIR. This means that although you will die many times in trial-and-error, once you come up with the perfect strategy and find good equipment (although the later is not completely necessary) you have a much higher chance of overcoming whatever obstacle blocks your way. This is different from other un-fair games that are hard no matter how hard you work. In other words: it's rewarding.

  • 4.1 is the best level by far of this entire game. Plenty enjoyable, rewarding and difficult!

  • There's actually quite a lot of story and background, you just need to talk to people and look for it yourself, it's not handed to you on a platter.

  • really really HARD, good game, but hard as hell

  • @dalekfry haha. I can see you screaming that at your monitor while you pound it out on your "keyboard". You should simmer down there hoss, before you have an aneurism. I think I played you once before on call of duty 5: Busted Bloodvessels.

  • As much as I love this game, I'm get sooo annoyed when Black Phantoms disrupt my peaceful playthrough. Anyone has an idea on how to deal or stop these? I just wanna play in peace once again. I just defeated Phalanx btw.

  • @Unborn8436 Hey, you can choose to play offline, this stops invading players. :)

  • I bought this game today hadn't tried it but I'm not going to watch the walkthrough
