The OG souls game.
It aged pretty well, I actually prefer the original over the remake, it feels more.. idk... Demon's Souls.
Good first introduction to the legendary series, pretty much the easiest.
The bosses in this game lack quality but there's a few that are good.
The pure bladestone took me like... 6 hours till it finally dropped, im glad the duping glitch works on the ps3 version.
If i hate one thing about this game is the fifth world:))) oh and the World Tendency system, AND Dragon God😡

The remake ruined the game's atmosphere and aesthetic. There is nothing like the original Demon's Souls atmosphere. It's such an unique game, I love it.

@kailip I agree. tbh good graphics doesn't always make the game better, DeS is a good example. The remake took away the atmosphere in exchange for graphics. Still... both versions are fine.

Th... Thanks? I don't know what I did to deserve that much amount of generosity but thanks? Also in my opinion demon's souls world tendency system is a good system when it comes to making surprises unpredictable and also the reason that makes demon's souls the most unique one. It's never designed around to be full completion friendly it's designed to be surprise heavy. But I agree that remake sours the artstyle fully

@gsifdgs haha, i also thank you. And regarding the world tendency system, its too strict and the game doesn't teach you how it works, as a first time player you'll mess up for sure unless you consult a guide, but once you get how it works... yeah it wont be a problem anymore. I mean, I got the platinum on both the original and the remake so now I know exactly how to approach the game. But still, im glad they never used world tendency again in any other game.

Yeah I agree that it's kinda impossible to understand how it works without a guide. But also makes the first journey the most unique for better or worse. It's a two sided blade. It could be much better ofc. But also that makes this game unique compared to the sequels for better or worse is what I meant

@gsifdgs it is unique indeed, especially the boss fights, they are very gimmicky
