    Release My Mind, My Garden Grows

    Currently on my first playthrough of the Demon's Souls remake and while some of the systems are confusing as hell (weapon upgrade progression and world tendency are very weird), Im finding the simplicity/lack of some mechanics like ashes of war and very few checkpoints are somewhat refreshing. Felt like I had to actually work at parrying and dodging correctly even with a bunch of the field enemies. The world sections themselves are sometimes harder than the bosses they lead to since you get no checkpoints outside of the boss arenas. I find a good chunk of boss fights here underwhelming and slow compared to the balls to the wall insanity of BB/ER fights. I beat world 2 and got the flame soul to upgrade to some ridiculous strength weapons like the meat cleaver/dozer axe/dragon bone smasher. Currently meat cleaver is slapping these fools around for me. Loving it. But overall, even though Im probably about halfway through, Its probably my least favorite fromsoft game I've played so far between this, ER, and BB. Still a great experience so far though. Its also refreshing to have a narrative that's somewhat more straightforward than what Im used to with these games.

    Demons souls was actually my second From game (Sekiro was the first, what an intro…). It def pushed me harder than most but prepared me for what to expect and now I’ve finished all of them after just beating Shadow of the Erdtree today. I agree about the worlds. Part of the levels were so hard and almost took more repetition than the bosses. Dark Souls 2 was the only one that felt “unfair” to me with some of the levels just being absolute nightmares.

    I'd like Demons Souls a lot more if world tendency/the death system in general was done better. I've come to appreciate it a lot while also still not loving it. It's very endearing for how not great it is

    (It was the 3rd I tried, Bloodborne then Sekiro then DeS)

    I don’t think I like demons souls. I got past world 1-1 and made it to tower knight and armored spider in 1-2 and 2-1, gave em a few goes and got almost nowhere, and poked around 3-1 a bit but yeah idk it’s just a weird game and I don’t like the not having your full health and shit

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I’m pretty sure I hate Demon Souls and doubt I’ll ever go back and finish it

    Every boss run back is miserable. Most bosses feel cheap and not fun. Armored spider is the wall I hit and just did not enjoy it.

    Very controversial but I enjoyed my time with Demons Souls Remake more than DS1.

    I did not like a lot of DS1 either but I made it much much further and think a solid half of what I played was great. The stuff after you leave Anor Lando is largely tedious and difficult in the worst way: via tedium and jank

    I fucking love Demons Souls. I'm sure a lot of that is nostalgia, but I think it has a lot of interesting mechanics, especially the world/character tendency stuff. Just pop a Stone of Ephermal Eyes to be human and get your health back.

    I also think it's the easiest of the Soulsbornekiro games, significantly.

    Imagine just adding additional prefixes and suffixes to the genre until it's like supercalifragilisticexpialodocius length.

    I played ds3 and Sekiro after Elden Ring and like both of them more (however with erdtree considered I think Elden Ring is back up top)

    Yeah SOTE pushed Elden Ring to at least a tie with Sekiro for me if not now being my favorite

    I think Elden ring is overall a better package but I still think ishin the sword saint is not only fromsofts best boss but the best boss in video game history

    Owl (Father) and honestly Genichiro are very underrated bosses as well. Genichiro especially I feel doesn't get enough credit for how good of a boss it is for the intro, the end of the first 3rd, and the pre-Sword Saint exhibition where he shows how good you've gotten since y'all last met. I love how vicious and relentless he is while also not feeling impossible while being relentless

    But yeah Sword Saint is #1
