Demon's Souls swings the way you choose for V Day photo

How's Demon's Souls treating you? Shoved on a shelf in aggravation, never to be opened again? Or played through so many times the disk has a hole burned through it?

If you're in the former group, this Valentine's Day might be a good time to put it back in your PlayStation 3. If you're in the latter, then you better get over to the official Demon's Souls site and vote, because they're holding a poll to see if they're going to make the game have a White World Tendency or a Black World Tendency for Valentine's Day.

They previously celebrated Halloween by making the world tendency black, and then celebrated the holidays by making the world tendency white. The thinking now is that because Valentine's Day is such a divisive holiday (you either love it or hate it) the players will get to decide. So, how about it? Do feel all warm and mushy on Valentine's Day, or is your soul blacker than the bottom of the ocean?

God, this game will be the first game I play when I finally bless myself with a ps3. God of war 3? Shelved! Uncharted 1/2? Banished!

I'm in the "played through so many times the disk has a hole burned through it" camp.

It's good that ATLUS is still messing with the servers. From Software never did anything like this with the Japanese and Asian versions.

I'm right there with you! I'm coming home with Demon's Souls when I get my PS3, unless God of War 3 is even better than I expect it to be.

I wish I could just beat the game, let alone get any of the trophies. Great game, though.

I just picked up this game last week, I've been working on my second play through and getting all of the trophies. I love it to death - to the point of obsession.

White please, Dark tendency is so easy to get. Just die alot. I can't continue the Tower of Latria because I don't have White Tendency.

Come on people, black is easy to get. White on the other hand feels near impossible to get, and you usually only get one real shot at it per world. Why is black winning. =(

I am actually in that first group, I fear. Not because I hated the game--I was enjoying it, and got about 30 hours in. But then Uncharted 2 was released and ever since then I've been playing one great, more forgiving, game after another instead. And having a blast the whole time. Right now I'm enrapt by Mass Effect 2.

At this point I'm frankly wondering if I'm going to pick Demon's Souls back up again. The game is certainly good, and well-balanced, if tough and frustrating. But I think it's somewhat overpraised by some folks who want to sound like hardcore gamers.

I had a lot of fun playing this game... took me about two-three weeks to play it through as a thief/rogue. Game was challenging to say the least. I will say it is one of the best if not the best RPG I played. The online touches really add to the game play. When someone is helping you defeat a boss its a lot of fun.

Hint: make sure you level up the swords using certain demon souls makes it easier for the melee.

It's "alluded," not "eluded." Unless that was a deliberate play on words, in which case, bravo.

Whoops. My last comment was intended for a completely different thread. I am suitably embarrassed. Stupid tabs.
