Jim, not as if I want to sound like I'm instructing you, but I didn't find the demo all that tough. I'm thinking maybe you might have missed that after you run out of health and the screen is going dark, you can mash the face buttons and self-revive.
Far be it from me to judge, though.

I'd eat my own poop if I could have this game right now. Its so beautiful. The demo was great. Not tough at all.
Obligatory niche game will sell horribly and blamed on more highly successful mainstream game comment.
WANT. SO. HARD.

If more people were realists (see:trolls) like yourself, my dear boy, the world would be litter'd with a bunch of Glenn Becks on medication.
Also: if Bayonetta can cop a million, so can this.
It. Justs. Needs. Strong. Marketing.

"1m is a flop"
Not every game is Call of Duty, with a $40-50M development cost and %200M marketing budget. And not every game expects to ship 25 million copies. A lot of games coming out have relatively low budgets of $5-20M, and 1 million would not particularly be considered a flop.
One example, Namco Bandai wanted Enslaved to do 1 million. I understand it did closer to 1/2 a million and broke even. You could argue that is a flop.
But then look at something like Demon's Souls. It must have done well over a million worldwide, but specifically did 1/2 a million in US by September last year - it is Atlus' best performing game in the US ever, was originally projected to sell 75K units. Two years on and its used as a prime example of a sleeper hit, and its spiritual sequel is my most anticipated game left this year. 1/2 a million US sales for that title was definitely not a flop.
That said, I grabbed the demo before PSN went down, and it didn't feel up to Okami's standard imo. Gonna wait to see plenty of reviews before I consider picking it up...

This game looks so amazing. I know there's a huge argument against games being solely playable for their artistic value, but games like this and Journey are so art focused, and they both look like games I could sit down and play for hours.
Games can't be drugs right..?

Intrigued. Can't wait to enjoy this. Hope it gets a collector's edition with an art book. But I want an art book for everything.
