  • Nearly 3yrs have passed and I still play this masterpiece of a game.

    Combat is everything the video says about it, Its tight,consistent and brutal. You attack too early, misjudge when the enemy will attack or hide behind your shield too much, you will die. And dear god you will die often!

    This game is still worth buying now, even with Dark Souls out, and from what I can tell, the online still exists. Now, off your ass and go get this game, you will thank me after the 300th death.

  • its so weird. 3 years later. and most of these games' sequels or threequels hav made it into the nomination. although dark souls is a spiritual successor. GO DARK SOULS

  • 1:39

    What!?!?!? am i the only one who missed that?

    When the hell does that happen?

  • 1:04

    What he said

  • Demons souls , a unique game that won over 2 other charming games ( Uc2 & ACiT ) , well done!

  • Most of the games on here could have been the winner in my opinion but my fav was Uncharted 2. Love Demon's Souls though, but it didn't have the same impact on me as U2

  • what the hell were is god of war 3 idiots

  • @Thegrimreaperswrath - You idiot God Of War 3 was released in 2010

  • And y isn't  MW2 on here?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • @RandomVidz690 - Umm..Maybe because MW2 sucks???

  • @ronvnkl232. No one cares about wii games there stupid

  • Oh shut up about call of duty. I think uncharted is overrated. Do I go on youtube and write hate comments about Uncharted? No. You just can't believe that call of duty has better online multiplayer. So shut up. BTW I love uncharted 2 but hated 1 and 3

  • What makes me mad.. Ign didnt even consider this game but they gav it a 9.5 -_- Every1 who has a ps3 shuld try this game, or Dark Souls.

  • What is wrong with these guys no gears in 2008 no borderlands in 2009. Really!!!

  • this is so biased!!!!!!!!!!!! where are all the amazing wii games of 2009 like muramasa the demon blade madworld sin & punishment star succesor new super mario bros wii and others maybe they wouldnt win but they need to at least be in this list even though i think muramasa sin & punishment and mario bros are better than the other games in this list

  • the sims 3? goty contender? XD

  • In over 30 years of gaming I have never experienced such a relentless assault on my senses.

    Demon's Souls is a gaming classic that will justifiably go down in history as one of the greatest games of all time!

  • this game sound ah ma zing

  • 326 people have an xbox.

  • Why is a PS3 exclusive is the game of the year?I think a game of the year should be available to all consoles including PC.

    Also why no Borderlands?That was an amazing game released in 2009...

  • @AosaBid Demons Souls deserved to win.

  • @gabgabgab39 I know,but still im puzzled why borderlands wasnt in the "BEST of 2009"?while GTA china town was...?WTF?Thats a shitty nintendo DS game and I played it so I know its shitty...

  • @AosaBid

    It's about the quality of the game, not what system it's on...

  • DA origins is greatest game of all time so yeah

  • @fbtrag360

    lol. troll or just ignorant. not sure yet.

  • @ASHDrummerJack both

  • Demon souls have some nice ideas used for it.

  • OMG. AssCreed1 was so boring I could not finish it. The visuals are super, but that's it. Boring, boring and more boring.

  • how in the name of god did chinatown wars get in the list worst gta ever

  • bull shit, demon souls can suck my dick. that game is horrible. gtfa china town wars is a thousand times better. Demon souls is like nothing you have ever played. It has bad combat, bad monsters, and weak exploration, but overall demon souls is the most backward looking game for 2009. oh yeah this game is also for pussy's.

  • @fbtrag360 dude first, think before you speak you must be one of those stupid fat childs that have mental problem to put a stupid comment like this one. Demon's Souls is UNIQUE. UNIQUE with strategic and awesome combat, realistic and scary monsters that always scary you thinking you will die to them, SUPERB and CREEPY atmosphere. DEMON'S SOULS IS THE BEST GAME OF 2009. you only say this because your stupid GTA (repetitive fraghead game) didnt won. Go back to your gta and CoD.

  • @fbtrag360 Someone died a little to many times....

  • @fbtrag360

    The combat is everything they say it is in the video, its tight, consistent and brutal. I have never faced an opponent and decided that the it was overpowered, all enemies have flaws to exploit and attack patterns that you can pick up on.

    Bad monsters, how is that an argument? The enemy design fits the game, and the general art style.

    Weak Exploration. While I agree that the exploration isn't a big focus in the game, it still encourages it and you are duly rewarded if you do so.

  • Comment removed

  • 2009 was great for gaming. 2010 started off well then ended with the Kinnect and Move and another Call of Duty which was crap.

  • @martinf74 and Read dead Redemption !

  • @martinf74 i like call of duty games as well as others such as tf2 portal and other games

  • Assassins Creed 2!

  • uncharted 2 won the real game of the year im not subscribing

  • @TheShinskinator yeh like what this guy said uc 2 won real game of the year, i bet demon souls (but im not a big fan of rpg) is good but not as good as uc2 like this guy said, im not subscribing

  • 321 people suck at games.

  • I'm actually glad that a game other than uncharted 2 got goty. Uncharted 2 is by all means a great game but still, I think the amount of awards it got was ridiculously annoying

  • Comment removed

  • @FunkyMonky1171 While I agree with you no doubt people thumb down your comments because Demon's Souls fans are pretty agressive when it comes to defending their game.Personally I like the game but it really it's anything special it's just a bare bones, classic RPG with a challenging difficulty.There were much other fresher, more interesting titles in 09.I just think GS picked it to keep up their image of not always picking the "biggest" game.Like they did with Super Mario Galaxy.

  • @StMarciano

    My thoughts exactly. It was an average game, and yet it's fans treat it like the epitome of gaming , and that anyone who dislikes it deserves to be shot. And, as you said, there were so many more games that were released in 2009, and I didn't even play most of the really good ones.

    It might have been a refreshing change from all of the free world RPG's for some people, it was just...underwhelming. It was most definitely NOT Game of the Year quality.

  • I hate when youre fighting the white bow black phantom in NG+ and shes almost dead then she firestorms you and you have to start over. Its like that until you get the graverobbers ring

  • i fuck sheep

  • Where is Borderlands!?

  • Your not supposed to lose to that tutorial boss... Ive beaten him and so has a bunch of other people.

  • @EvilKratos89 yep i beat him too but then there is a scene when the huge dragon kill u lol

  • Anyone know the music that begins at 9.20? Is it part of the DS soundtrack?

  • @Kinderlokkertj yes i think its from the epilogue of the game

  • challenging games are the best! dark souls - game of the year 2011.

  • I feel sorry for 320 people.

    I don't hate them, I just feel sorry for them, I'm not the one losing on one of the best games (and it's a true game, not a Hollywood auto-play bullshit infesting the industry right now) of the last years.

  • @DavetzWin

    they are probably pissed off because Uncharted didnt win the game of the year.

    chillax guys, Uncharted already won many awards. dont hate on a game that u havent even played -,-

  • I would of went with Dragon Age myself.

  • FUCK DEMON SOULS

    ARKHAM OR AC2 GOT ROBBED

  • @BIGDADDYF50 man i platinum AC2 and loved it and i love the AC series, but man I can't lie, Demon's Souls stole so many hours of my sleep it's not funny. That game is insanely addictive. No hate on those other games cause they rock too, but man Demon's Souls was like crack playing it.

  • It's a myth! Uncharted 2 beats the crap out of demon souls

  • forza 3 FTW!

  • @Hentarded hahaa Ur alone on that one.

    \and Forza doesnt deserve GoTY it brings nothin new to the table.

    everything Forza has Gran turismo 4 already had and gran turismo 5 just adds up.

    IMO Uncharted 2 rightfully deserves GoTY

  • Lol i remember wen i thought this game was hard. Now i can make a lvl 100 n 2 days n easily beat king allant as a lvl 30

  • Thumbs up everyone who was thinking on harry potter when they saw this videos thumbnail :D

  • yeah demon soul is the best

  • @xdatlantico244 you should add me psn: xKxNxIxGxHxTx

  • Dark Souls Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wat the crap? Not uncharted 2?

  • @superfreak00oo yes uncharted is brilliant and so is demons souls trust me its great its one of my favorite games

  • @superfreak00oo

    Nope

  • If there's one downfall to Demon's Souls it's that you don't shake in your boots after you've played it before (all the time at least, some bosses are still a bitch to fight no matter how many times you've fought them). Easily the GotY for 2009, and props to GS for having the balls to give it to a deserving game that isn't backed by a big company.

  • seriously.... demon's souls....SERIOUSLY?

  • @TheDarkcut demons souls is great possibly my favorite game of all time

  • Loved the comment "Oh you think youre good at this game, No youre gonna die right now" HAHAHAHAHA

  • FUCK Demons Souls

    Batman Arkham Asulym

  • demons souls is my favorite game of all time lets see what dark souls can do hopefully it has some wooded areas and maby some snowy hilly regions

  • sorry for my english :P

  • demon's souls may not be muuuch better than uncharted on the field of story, but in gameplay it's revolutionary because is one of the fire game's that return to old school, and because of that i belive it's going to be th best for old gamer, for young they will get frustrated

  • game of the year naruto-arena lol

  • Forza 3

  • @Rezzikk that game sucked

  • Let's face it, Demons souls is good but the only reason gamespot gave it goty was because everybody else voted Uncharted 2 and they wanted to be different. Deep down they knew that Uncharted 2 deserved it.

  • @TheWhiteKnight89: If you had played Demon's Soul, you wouldn't be saying that. I've played both games and Demon's souls is more adicting.

  • @TheWhiteKnight89 demon's souls deserved it because it was different, unique and good. I love uncharted but i quickly got bored of it as for demon's souls, i still play that to this day.

  • How did Forza get nominated?

  • @Markthebagman They had to add an xbox exclusive so it wasn't unfair. xD

  • Demon Souls was great but I'm pretty sure most people quit that game after the 100th time. I think it should have been something with much faster pacing like Uncharted 2 Among Thieves.

  • @Rezzikk

    Game of the year 2011: Dark Souls

  • belive me if you liked dragon age for the ps3 or xbox you will LOVE IT for the pc

  • demons souls is my favorite game of all time

  • uncharted 2 its the game of the year of 2009 of naughty dog or ever the grafics and gameplay are awsome

  • meh I could care less since demon souls is exclusive to ps3 ;D.

  • like half the nominated games for Goty are PS3 exclusive,lol.

  • dark souls is demons souls 2

  • i has em both and im not gonna say which is better

  • Sims 3 or COD BO FTW! ;D

  • uncharted 2 should of won

    

  • You are missing Borderlands

  • @canaidiangator17 It's clear that you haven't played it.

    Or that you just have no taste in games.

  • alright respect gone away Hello GAYSPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Demon Souls wtf?

  • I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!

  • This is a safe place haha thiz is so funni.

    Not.

  • 312 people r gaycore gamers

  • 312 people don't have a ps3

  • @tainerjas OK it's getting kind of old and don't expect to get any thumbs up out of it cause it's not really funny as it was.

  • the 2nd guy that speaks that you actually see looks like that mexican actor who played the goat-man from epic movie and jack blacks side kick from Nacho Libre

  • i allways find games like wow, perfect world, fable, etc. kinda strange because your avatar is just waving a sword or casting spells moving their hands, causing no visible damage, just making the life bar go empty and when all is said and done, the loser fall on the ground, saying aaaah...

  • DEMON'S SOULS FOREVER!

  • uncharted 2 deserves the GOTY award

  • hmmm... I wonder what Jeff Gerstmann would have had for his GOTY.

  • gay!!!!!!!

  • WHAT UNCHARTED 2 BEATS DEMON SOULS. WHAT THE FUCK

  • @Spike5war have you seen igns game of the year rap

    its epic

  • @MrSpeedysam60 yes i have long time ago

  • @Spike5war Not even close, and I have both, love them both, but Demon's Soul is a longer, deeper, addictive and innovative game

  • demon souls is just like oblivion plus God Of War from what I've played. So not very "innovative"

  • @yougotpwnd95 What the hell are you talking about? Oblivion is an open world RPG, full of side quest with no interesting bosses to fight with, while God of War is a fast paced game where your characters kills everything rather easily, completely linear with no RPG aspects at all (except the fairly simple "upgrade weapon system").

    Demon's Soul online is completely new, it's infinitively harder than both Oblivion and God of War, the combat system is great (more aking to Zelda but much deeper)

  • Red dead redemption?

  • UNCHARTED !

  • what the f%%k is demon souls ???

  • @Tonystarkes888 a magic game u should fucking play

  • @Dank0hd but what kind of game is it, do u have to pay to play like world of gaycraft.

  • @Tonystarkes888 of course not, it is a ps3 only game. a role playing game... its really hard, and satisfying.

    with a good level up engine based on killing monsters and surviving throughout the process.

    the game is based in a medieval apocalyptic world. and the worlds are linear, you have 5 of them u can freely explore and over 15 hard bosses to kill at the end of each segments of a world.

  • I´m addicted to this game. It's amazing and so fucking hard, until you get accustomed to it.

  • and the winner is red dead redemption

  • lol im playing demons souls right now

  • uncharted the best!!!

  • <====CLICK_THIS_NAME_FOR_FREE_­XBOX_POINTS&MONTHS&PSNCARDS_AN­D_LOTS_MORE_WATCH-THE-VIDEO-OR­-READ-THE-DESCRIPTION

  • warning:  very good, but its for hardcore gamers only...

  • i think all the PS3 exclusives deserves to win ,i will go 4 Killzone 2,then uncharted 2 even if he won like 20 goty, but demon souls is so damn good like a hard nes game haha,,,,,,,ratchet is dpe 2 ,

  • this game is too easy...you can get platinum trophy in 20 hours.

  • I really sucked at this game. I mean suck. I can't go pass the knight boss. This game is so hard.

  • CRAP GAME TO HARD!

  • 301 died on the first level.

  • @whiteganser who didn't?

  • @whiteganser who didn't die on the first level?

  • @Iteachu2beninja "Ahem...Chuck Norris..."

  • 1:07 = Shield isn't gonna do much. You're fucked.

  • @whiteganser Sorry 1:06

  • It's AWESOME!!! BUT, a more welcoming world will be better. ^_^

  • If you own a PS3, you OWE it to yourself to play this game. At least try it out. You might end up not really digging it, and if so, that's a shame. But you might also end up really, really, really loving it, and you'll stay addicted to it for months. There's so much to see and do, so much to experience. The brilliantly designed world is absolutely enchanting and a joy to explore, and the minimalistic story makes it all the more mystical.

    One of the finest games I've ever played. A true 10/10.

  • how come this didnt come out in eourpeim sad cuz i wanted to play it

  • @conradlee65 but it did come out in europe! in june, to be precise. late, I know, but at least it did come out at all.

    and even if it didn't, you could still import the american release, cause the ps3 is region-free.

  • @hahahahva it did i didnt know that might go pick it up then kl

  • I haven't even heard of Demon Souls..

  • @xsKiitz That's because you're just another shallow gamer living in the 21st century :). Don't worry, just realise that most games released these days aren't games in the traditional sense and Demon's Souls is a game. If you played it, you'd cry like a little girl because you'd die repeatedly in a game for the first time in your life

  • Nice Game of the Year 2009 this game deserves it best platnium i have ever earnd. I like the tutorial boss I actutlly managed to kill him as a wanderer and then *Spoiler alert* I was like Whoo what next haha then the giant Dragon God was next and i was X_X and then he killed me

  • call of duty modern ware 2 on xbox and on ps3 uncharted 2

  • wtf is demon souls?

  • wtf.demons souls.where is cod.this vid is so stupid

  • @1MikeLaz You're stupid, you darn Modern Warfare fanboy...

  • demon's souls took fable's multiplayer and blew it away

  • If I could complete demons souls dying about 2 times a level it would be my favourite game ever.

  • U2 deserves GOTY compared to MW2. It came close but no cigar, blame the hackers and campers of MW2 on 360!!!!!!!

  • i like uncharted 2...

  • All great games congrats Demon's Souls

  • Demon Souls: The only game of the nominated, I have never heard about

  • I love this game more than life... i guess thats good cause i keep dying, but i just cant turn away.

  • PC+PS3=best combination

  • @Box0r0x0rz what? im having trouble understanding this. What does the PS3 have that the PC doesn't?

  • @omgilovejews RDR, Uncharted 2, MGS4, Demon's souls, should I continue?

  • @Box0r0x0rz lol

    You were referring to games? I thought you were referring to hardware, which is the source of my confusion. seeing as how all consoles are traced back to PCs

  • @omgilovejews hell no. PC's hardware is way better, there is no doubt about that. I just bought PS3 for the exclusives that PC doesn't have, sadly.

  • @Ectasy1233 It's funny cause you will never play demon souls,forza motosport,killzone 2,gears of war 2,uncharted 2...

  • @0644742766 that's true! :D

  • this is the first time ive heard of demsouls was it i couldnt remember it :P

    Gamespot and whoever need to listen to the fans more

  • WTF wheres Uncharted 2?!

  • @Ectasy1233

    nah, playing on the PC is not fun anymore.

  • How come we never see Pokemon up here? D:

  • does it even matter what other people think, if u like xbox play xbox and if u have a ps3 go play ps3. And stop posting such stupid and childish fanboy comments. I mean we all are gaming gladiators so does it matter what choice of weapon we use!!!!! think about it!!! ^_^

  • What happened to the editor in 7:13, I never saw him again in Today on the Spot and I forgot his name.

  • This looks Amazing!!!! Gonna go buy it

  • Demon's Souls is bloody brilliant. Great choice, GS, I completely agree with you. UC2 is of course great as well, but this, this is a game I'll cherish forever.

  • Dude ps3 games won game of the year in gamespot and IGN (in gamespot:demon soul, in IGN: uncharted 2) I bet uncharted 3 will win game of the year
