Weekly Game Review: Demon's Souls

[Pandajuice]

Man, I really dislike games with punishing difficulty levels. I know some masochists enjoy that, but I'd rather play a game that offers some level of challenge, but isn't frustratingly difficult, like this one sounds. Also, the online thing seems like it would ruin the experience and immersion a little, as well as the difficulty. Can you shut it off at any point if you don't want to see a bunch of ghost players running around and silly messages littering the ground? If not, can't you just use the other player's deaths to know exactly how to progress without ever putting yourself in danger?

It almost sounds like an MMORPG the way you described it Boogie.
