it's just not fun
This game's popularity is a psyop or a bunch of faggots who collectively pretended to have played it to seem cool and different. It's just dogshit.
you're just a fag
>modern retrospectives often label it as boring, bland, and unfairly punishing compared to later entries in the series.
>>737628107beta dark souls it is but all the boomers are gonna say it's peak because it was the last game before fromsoft went mainstream
>>737628450Boomers didn't even play this shit, no one played this shit, it's ass. It bombed in Japan and the West. There's a reason they pivoted so hard with Dark Souls, it's actually nothing like Demon's Souls.
>>737628806I played it when it released or a few months later.There were just a few people who knew the game and loved it. I'd never hear about if it wasn't talked about on podcast from GT.com - Epic Battle Cryhttps://www.youtube.com/user/epicbattleaxeand one of the guys said it was his GotY and that people should check it out. They also praised online message systemI bought it, and I liked it but found it too hard and stopped. I actually finished it on rpcs3 2 years ago.
>>737629430i bought it after /v/ and /vg/ started talking about it around 2010-2011ragequit a bunch then i learned how to play the game and had a great time
ITT: 2011 tourists
>>737629430Only reason I bought Demon's Souls is because I thought it was a different game. Turned out to be a happy little accident. I forget what it was, but when I played the game I actually wanted I dropped it almost immediately.
>>737629985hunted the demon's forge? that game sucked
I'm in the tiny minority of people who played the original Demon's Souls then never played any Dark Souls / Sekiro / Elden Ring.If I played and didn't enjoy Demon's Souls, should I bother trying the rest of the Souls entries?
>>737628264filtered lol
>>737632685Good.
>>737632275Yes. Demon's Souls is the worst one by far and has crappy mechanics that never made a return in the series.
Demon's Souls is best souls. That is why I platinumed all four versions.

>>737632954>bragging about being in your 30sHuh?
>>737628450wdym? they were already mainstream in the late ps2 erathis game was mainstream as fuck if you were a ps3chad
>>737628450Better weapon movesets and the levels don't tank into DS1-toer abysmal dog shit.
>>737632820The worst mechanic in the franchise is DS1 poise. It literally turns off the core concepts if the game and turns it into a retard fest.
