[quote name='2DMention']7 was good. I skipped 8. 9 was pretty decent and seemed like a good time to get off the FF bus.
Never even played anything past X and later (except 11, which doesn't really count)
Demon's Souls sounds interesting, but all the bitching about the difficulty turned me away from it and made me feel the same as you. I suck at games these days and have little patience for anything difficult.[/QUOTE]
There's a difference between insanely difficult and challenging/punishing mistakes.
Demon's Souls takes a bit to build up your character some and get some good equipment. It might take a good 10+ hours for a playthrough on your first run. After you've done it once, the difficult areas (which generally have exploits) are few and far between. Some worlds are always annoying (read 5-x), but once you've gone through the game once, a second playthrough litterally takes less than 3 hours.
The worlds in DS are so well done that each feels like it's own place and is worth exploring. There's a reason I dropped 120 hours into it, ended up with a character around level 190 and got the platinum.
[quote name='Rodimus']I say it hit a stride because it got a comfortable pace. Those first few levels really don't do the game justice. My biggest problem was even though I filled out the movelist I kept going back to the same 3 or 4 moves and combos. Like the combo where he repeatedly slams his whip on the ground, thats all I ever used. I must be the only one that loved the surprise ending. It really did catch me of guard and I love that feeling.
I started up a game of Demon's Souls for the first time about a month ago, and I loved it until a certain point. Maybe when I was younger I had the patience to but now I have too many games to play and very little time. I need to prioritize.[/QUOTE]
I saw the ending coming from a mile away, probably about chapter 6. And while I didn't see the setting of the after the credits bit, I saw that coming too. :|
I love Captain Picard, but the writing and dialogue were so bad that I didn't even find them comical in the "Resident Evil B movie" kind of funny and I definitely couldn't take it seriously. Good premise though, interested to see if it gets a sequel and where they go with it.
I kind of want to play the DLC, but I sold the game to get the most I could for it, so I don't see that happening any time soon.
