Glutton For Punishment


Demon Soul's is one major pain in the ass, this game has pissed off so many people in the first couple of hours that they have sworn to never play the game again. Well last time I was playing the game I decided to kill the shop keeper on the very first stage after buying some armour. I did this thinking that I would just be able to steal my money back and he would just re-spawn later in the game.

Unfortunately that wasn't the case and the result was I got nothing back and he never re-spawned at all. So I soldiered on with the game for as long as I could before finding out that my weapons and armour were not strong enough and it wasn't worth going on. All the time I had spent playing the game was now just a waste of time.


Yet this weekend I was just sat thinking about what I could play, and I decided to once again return to Demon Soul's. The game is still hard as nails and very infuriating, yet it just has this charm about it. This time I won't kill the shop keeper and hopefully get a lot further than I did last time, although I know there will be plenty of hair pulling moments along the way as the game punishes me for not blocking when I know I should or doing something retarded. That is all part of the charm of the game though; when you die its because you did something that was a dumb ass move on your part, not because the game is just being a twat for the sake of it.
