    (EDIT: formerly DunBeatle)
    Thanks so much for bringing my script to life! I had no idea the video would be this long when I asked, sorry lol. The end result looks great though and really showcases your voiceover and editing talents.
    Demon's Souls Remake was a special game for me, as it was for you and so many others. It's sad that player activity has died down but I hope we were able to capture some of what made the game memorable in this video.

      who wants to pay 160$ for a year of online tax when none of the free games interest me because i probably already own it if it was a game i wanted to fan over forever over it so yeah demon souls is dead like bloodborn will be soon because playstation cant even safeguard their own products little alone other products and expect fan loyalty to such incompetency compared to their competitors one with free cloud saving sense 2007

    When I was a little kid demons souls on ps3 was my first souls game but it was far too difficult for me, last year I played demons souls remake and I fell in love with souls for the first time. It and the ps3 version have my favourite lore, world snd enemy design and some of my favourite moments and areas of any. DSRemake is of the most important games I’ve ever played.

    This Game means the world to me. I was out of gaming since the game cube era... Right before covid i got a xbox one to play the resident evil remakes but was not wowed really.. i was following the new consoles and was gonna get a xbox series. The day ps5 was announced that it would be up for sale the next day... i was on reddit and someone posted that walmart dropped em early... has some extra income and said fuck it. they sold out instantly... i had the idea that if walmart did it.... so would others and... other did and i scored a launch ps5 from target. Before it even came.. one day i decided to buy a game for it and i dunno why... i think i saw some footage... but i picked up demons souls. Dude i fell in love... after 100% i picked up ps3 and played the og. Plus all the other souls games and even took part in the elden ring network test. Anyway i even own the import copys including the deluxe edition and black phantom. Anyway i never forget the first i was invaded. i finally beat phalanx and was happy to get my health bar back lol... i had no idea what was going or the mechnics... iam messing around at the 2-1 and some red dude come outta nowhere (must have missed the invasion message). he kills me and iam pissed, i had no idea what happend lol so i do alittle research and i figure out what happend so i decided to do that same and invade someone and kill them lol. i was so upset but so interested in the online system... like its awsome... as mad as i was.. i was more drawn in to the the pvp.

      Nice pick up from Target! I was literally sitting their with like 8 windows open on multiple devices when the PS5 launched. I even physically went to Target and waited from about midnight until open. They had 5 to sell and I was 7th in line lol... eventually got mine from a GameStop drop online. Had to buy a bundle, but didn't care by that point. I used to be terrified of invasions because it was such a foreign concept to me. I personally like the DS3 PvP the best. It has the best combo of good locations for PvP, the best covenants for PvP and the most balanced combat. Still a few broken weapons, but nothing compared to Demon's Souls and Elden Ring. I love hearing stories like yours of people that played the Demon's Souls remake then went back and played all of the others in the series. Once you get invested in these games, it's hard to play others! Although, I do like plenty of other games outside of FromSoftware.

I understand I hated sekiro at first (prolly top three games now).. I told him keep with it.. he beat margit and hasn’t looked back lol it’s all we talk about now.. I convinced him to play demons souls by selling him on the graphics… sadly I think the obscure mechanics and lack of jumping I think made him put it down.. plus the Health bar thing… he literally made it right before the cling ring and died on the steps lol.. he said when he spawned back at the fountain he had enough.. anyway before souls games I was a survival horror guy… I imagine I’ll have 20 windows open when the ps5 pro comes out.. maybe not.. iv since built a healthy pc… but I wouldn’t have if I didn’t score a ps5 and since the n I really only use my consoles for bloodborne and demons souls… the occasional kings field.. yes I got all of them too lol

I'm glad he liked Elden Ring, but yea, going back to Demon's Souls player movement is pretty tough after Elden Ring unless you're obsessed with the series. A lot of these games are just about gaining some confidence and understanding how the systems work. With a little bit of practice they aren't as difficult as people make them out to be. I'm sure when the Elden Ring DLC comes out, I'll re-examine that thought though lol... funny you say, I actually have a gaming PC, but rarely used it. I'm so institutionalized to console lmao... just what I grew up with I guess.

    Hey Riposte, don’t call me a cheapskate, but if demon’s souls is a remake that was released almost 4 years ago, then why is it still 70 dollars? Especially after being outclassed by Elden ring for 60. I heard people say it’s a subjective matter, but who won game of the year in its respective year?

    I didn't like the remake at all.
    I played the original in 2021 and it became my favorite souls game.
    I managed to platinum it just before my ps3 gave out.
    When I got a ps5 last year I was excited to play it, but almost immediately it felt off to me.
    The remake is too cinematic.
    What I mean is that the offset camera makes controlling your character feel weird.
    The visual effects for weapon elements are too much.
    The worst is the remade music which sounds much more generic and to me does not come close to the original.
    I'm sorry to say that if Bluepoint had just ported the original game over and made no changes it would have been much better in my eyes.

    • @GhostRiposte
      @GhostRiposte  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I definitely get that. I know a lot of people that loved the atmosphere of the original and feel the expanded more exuberant color palette of the remake kind of killed a lot of that. I played the remake first, so that's what I fell in love with. I have since gone back and played the original and will say I think the rawness of the OSTs fits much better and is much more memorable, especially Tower Knight/Penetrator and Maiden Astraea.
