I really liked this game, but damn is it hard.

Still no where as good as Bloodborne

Turd game. Bloodborne is also a turd ..but with blood.

Gonna try the Turd Hunter DLC soon.

Its still over priced for an 11yr old game lol.

Are you kidding me? $ 70 + tax is perfect.

Cows eat it up. You can sell rotting tur** to them no problemo then again this sale probably shows that some cows are developing a semblance for standards.

Nah. Cows are du*g supporters.

MetaCritic Demon's 92 on a 9.2tflops console. I mean, they go hand in hand together. Have 137h in it already and playing it as we speak 😎

Wow, MS fanboys are a special bunch.

That's funny coming from you, a person who claims to be a PC gamer that's a cow sympathiser LOL

it cheaper on the ps3...

hah @ re’MEH’ks

lol that magical number for pony station for sure.

@neogeo2k2: what's hard about Demons? By far easiest souls game and most of the bosses are walkovers

Lmao, haters are so flustered by this game they get excited by a discount lmao.

And yet still $50.00 too much. ;o

GamePass or bust. lol :P

What was it people say on these boards, oh yeah don't like stuff on your own platform just hate on others.

Hating on 11yo games, what was it Lem's were excited for in the xbone days, oh yeah MCC...

I am as moved as I was with the original.😐

Game is so awesome. I love it.

Only problem is not as many people helping others because of world tendency.

@rzxv04: The deals already gone. Guess that makes your thread even more pointless then it already was lol

It makes the point that the game wasn't worth $70.

I was replaying Bloodborne last week. I quit the DLC at the first boss. Too many of FromSoftware's bosses are now work. Definitely preferred the earlier Souls games, Demon's, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II, over Bloodborne, Dark Souls III and Sekiro. Although, Dark Souls III at least has more variety in its environments than Bloodborne, and I still found its bosses more manageable. Dark Souls III was the last FromSoftware game in which I bothered to beat all the bosses, and it will probably stay the last, since the fans raved so much about the difficulty in their games that FromSoftware now goes so out of their way to deliver. I quit Sekiro at the final boss. I'm sure I could have beaten him, but I wasn't motivated enough to work at it for hours.

@Pedro: It doesn't in anyway, shape or form, but you already know that.

That is all that was needed. Thank you for your participation.

Lems are still on suicide watch over this game? It must suck for lems to have the competition to release a remake only to outscore their "remaster" with more games in the bunch.

Not to mention the very same game that gave birth to a very successful franchise.

😆

Game pass is an interesting beast. It's very clearly a phenomenal value for people that play a good majority of the content it offers. However, if you're someone like me who only has the opportunity to play a handful of games a year (and not all of the ones on my list are on Xbox), it's a slightly different conversation.

When I buy a Series X next year, it's likely I'll sign up for at least a few months. I did a three month membership for the Xbox/PC combo over the summer and played a good deal of games: Hellblade, Gears 5, Savage Planet, Flight Sim, Halo Wars 2. I let the membership lapse, as I don't have much time to play games outside of summer. While it would have cost me far more than the $45 I paid to play all those titles, there's something to be said for the fact that if I want to play any of those again, I have to pay more money to sign up for Game Pass.

It's an absolutely stellar service for the right consumer, but I fear it might become the standard, rather than merely an option. I have real concerns about consumers not actually owning their content in the long term.

10 year old rehash. What's next? DLC at full price? Special cow themed horse armor for $20?

I hear ya but you are offered the opportunity to buy the game at a discount.

For me it's just great, seems there's always something new for me to try, games I likely would never have bought in the first place turned out to be gems.

Having all 1st party games hit on day one is just the icing on an already tasty cake. ;)

Both world and character tendencies are horrible mechanics, at least in the way they are implemented

it's sold out tho...

But then again...Xbox is doing that Perfect Dark thing.

Sounds pretty great for gamers, considering the price hikes.

its very strong value, just think of it like this. $15/month * 12 = $180. That also includes xbox live, which is $50, so you're really paying $130 for gamepass. $130 for game pass is the price of 2 full priced games per year.

0/10 troll attempt.

It should be 199 realistically. PS5 is such a value, it's going to increase in time like fine art.

@rzxv04: 12 > 9

It's a good value if you actually use it. As someone who typically doesn't pay for Xbox Live Gold for all 12 months out of the year, it's only shaving off $50 if you're someone who does that.

if you're not going to play any of the games on game pass, I have to ask what exactly you play? Theres alot of quality and variety of games, it almost impossible to not find something you like.

Even if you're not interested in xbox first party games like halo or gears, they still have a bunch of popular casual games like the battlefield series, starwars battlefront, nba live 19, madden 20, fifa 20, tekken, mortal kombat, etc etc.

You seem to struggle understanding that game pass is not for everybody. I really only get to play a handful of games a year, and most of the games I play are not on game pass.

It's a fantastic service, but that doesn't mean it suits every single gamer in the entire world. If you're getting your money's worth, that's great. I would not.

@rzxv04: The remake loses some of the magic through minor changes and sanding down some jaggies, but that being said... Demon's Souls is a masterpiece, and anyone who says differently, clearly hasn't played any or enough of the game.

Glad people are actually playing it, but it's sad they're not experiencing the original form.

yep I am struggling to understand, but yeah it doesn't matter. You do you.

Still a good deal.

Let's think of it like this: if a monthly sub is 15 dollars, four months = 60 dollars, the price of a new game (without tax). Therefore, a year of sub is worth three new games.

Now, chances are you can play more than three new games each year.

More importantly, Gamepass (and other subs) gives you the chance the branch out and try new things since it doesn't cost you anything extra. Lord knows I've experimented a lot (and enjoy some) on Gamepass and other subs to broaden my horizons a bit.

But yeah, if you're the kind of gamer that buys Halo and that's all you play all year long, then Gamepass probably isnt for you. But anyone else? Helluva deal.

Yeah, it's an absolute steal if you have the time to use it.

Instead of increasing the prices of video games, the industry needs to quit it with Hollywood budget projects while they're ahead. We don't need massive budgets for unnecessary shit. We don't need celebrities or sophisticated mo-cap sessions and Morgan Freeman narrations - we need good game design to sell a game. It's an ever fading art in this industry.

The video game industry needs to get their priorities straight.

The Video Game Awards is the prime example of everything wrong with the attitudes working in the industry these days, when Geoff Keighley gets more smitten over announcing a celebrity to the stage than he actually gets over presenting an award.

Raise the prices to keep up with the costs of development? **** that. Lower the budget, I know you can.

How dare you want games to be games?😋

@Pedro: This goes with movies as well, but the higher the budget - the higher the burden - and the more likely it will burn.

Budgets are a GOOD thing. Having a set budget and not a blank check: sets up the standards of understanding how to work with such limitations and how to prioritize the main goal.

Big budgets have a tendency to become a hot mess because there was a lack of creative discipline, because these studios then become fixated on the idea that throwing all the money at these things is what buys a good game.

@jaydan: I agree with your conclusion for both comments. If gaming starts focusing too much on story with high production values, it would hurt the industry because the closer it gets to movies, the medium will become redundant to movies.

@Pedro: This doesn't really apply to Demon's Souls, though; it's an actual gameplay-focused game, and a good one at that, with no expensive gimmicks to sell the game beyond its own legacy.

I think in cases like Demon's Souls: they want to hike up the prices even though they don't need to, but they do anyways likely because the Hollywood budget games next to them is getting the price hike, and they might as well do it for them all. Just my theory.

That brings me to another big issue: prices are wonky on all platforms. Video games should start getting priced according to the value of a product.

It does not make much sense how a 10 hour game can be priced at $60 and a 100+ game is also priced at $60.

I think the indie scene already kinda gets this, because indie game prices are never set at a concrete price, but instead priced according to the value which the dev's see fit.

Mainstream game companies need to take notes on that one.

XamenX.

@jaydan: I wasn't applying it to Demon Souls.

Price is based on perceived value. Value is always volatile and at its core is an abstract concept that is shaped by a person's perception that is driven by multiple factors.

@Pedro: Oh I wasn't saying that in regards towards you, I was just clarifying myself since this is a Demon's Souls thread.

@jaydan: Gotcha. I updated my response to the issue on value.
