" If it's not for the gameplay, why else would anyone play it? the games would be short, its characters meaningless and the plot would be barebones for everyone who doesn't pay attention to it."
The difficulty is not 100% of the gameplay. The gameplay is also the controls and the combat, the AI, learning enemy attacks and timing, stuff like that. Modifying enemy damage from "one hit kill" to two or 3 hits to kill you does not take away the gamepl...
What's next?
Black Ops 2 multiplayer FONT REVEALED!!!
I can't speak for everyone else out there, but that's definitely not the reason I stray away from Dark Souls. I would actually like the brutality of enemies.
The problem for ME, is the lack of any real checkpoints. There is nothing I hate more in gaming than spending 30 minutes to an hour overcoming something very challenging, and then dying and having to redo it all over again because of something so small and simple. It's very akin to the rage I get when I&#...
"Adding easy mode cheapens the Souls experience"
In your opinion. And remember, not everyone will share it. Some people may like the Souls series for entirely different reasons than you do.
While you may enjoy the challenge of overcoming a frustrating challenge in which you died a bunch of times and had to replay a level over and over and over again to get perfect at it and eventually conquer it, not everyone enjoys it.
Some peopl...

In all likelihood, you got a very warm and fuzzy feeling out of it, which isn't "nothing". You pay for their meal, they get to eat for free, and you get to feel really good about yourself for being nice to an old couple. So it isn't like you didn't get 'anything' out of it.
Loved the vibrant graphics on Vice City.
@TheMasterShake
And who the hell are you to tell people how to play their games?
"If they add an easy mode ill stop buying there games, ill rent them instead"
So you will refrain from buying a great game because it has a mode that you will NEVER be forced to play?
*facepalm* Grow up and stop being so immature.
Every shooting game needs a crossbow.
Hmm, so by your logic, I have to be a 16 year old with crappy taste in gaming to be able to enjoy RE5?
No, I've never played an old school Resident Evil game (unless you count re4 as one, but I'm pretty sure you don't), but I'm not 16, I'm 21.
I didn't have any previous expectations from previous games, which is why I was able to enjoy it. As a standalone game, it's not a bad game. As a Resident Evil game it's probably terrib...
RE6 isn't on my radar, and I'm one of the few people that really liked RE5 (co-op with my friends was a blast).
Can't believe RE6 looks even worse graphically.
If they had an invite system instead of the summon thing they have going on, I would have already bought this game.
My friend loves this game and he's always telling me to buy it, but I've seen him play pretty much all of it and I've played Demon's Souls, and it's not a game I find fun playing alone, but if there were an invite system, I'd be willing to pick Dark Souls up.
It seems based on the comments I've read and the people I've heard, that problems don't really arise until you get to around 80-100 hours.
I played for about 110 hours and never experienced anything gamebreaking, just a little bit of slowdown during a really action heavy sequence (when the dark brotherhood base was being destroyed), but aside from like 3 or 4 game lockups over the course of 100 hours, that was pretty much it. It ran fine for me.

"@dreamer so what's your explanation for games like infamous, la noire, and battlefield running smoothly on the PS3?"
None of those games are anywhere near as complex as Skyrim. They don't have to store that much in ram when compared to Skyrim. Skyrim, in addition to having thousands of lines of dialogue, has to remember things like who you talked to, how you affected that person you talked to, what things that person will say to you when you talk to them ...
Tempting, but I'm trying to stay relatively spoiler free on this game, only watching the trailers.
Two each his own.
And why wouldn't he be? Fallout 3 was one of the greatest games this generation, even with the problems with the DLC being really buggy.
I watched the video, but it doesn't look better than what I've seen in Uncharted. Maybe it's the colors (grey, brown, dirt)and the whole "gritty" visual style, I don't know, but to me, Uncharted 2 and 3 look far superior to the last of us (graphically).
Nothing about the visuals of The Last of Us (I don't count animation as visuals) has wow'd me. In Uncharted, the snow was beautiful, the sand was beautiful, the water was beautiful, the fore...
How old are you, 13? If you disagree with me, then state why, don't be an immature little brat and just call everyone who disagrees with you an idiot, that's what real idiots do.
I really don't see how people think TLoU looks graphically better than Uncharted. TLoU looks good and has better animations than Uncharted, but it doesn't look better, based on what has been shown SO FAR. The Last of Us even looks way more fun than Uncharted to me personally, but g...
Bring back Mewtwo and replace him with Lucario. I missed him in brawl :(
