I only just got this game. WOW!
I finally got a PS3 and bought this as my first game. And, I can't not play it. I have played it steadily without end. This is possibly the "perfect" RPG. This is probably the only RPG that I gives no **** about the story. It's basically non existent. I played FF13 for 15 hours, shut it off, and came running back to Demon's Souls. Also, there is a demon's souls wiki for this, making the game a lot more manageable. I'm on my first NG+ and now find myself trophy obsessed. I want them all. I would suggest that if your a true hardcore gamer like myself, not be confused with someone who has to play the newest game all the time, then this is the game for you. My buddy put it best when he said, you actually have to develop skills to play this game. You can't just hack and slash and power level your way through the game. If want to do that, this isn't the game for you, you might want to try out FF13 then.
