Gonna have to try this thing out for myself, but i honestly don't think I'd enjoy it.
I play games for entertainment primarily... More specifically, I need a game to have a good story to carry me through it.
Life throws up enough difficulty without me going and looking for it!!! :)

I wouldn't recommend Dark Souls or Demon's Souls then... They have next to no story at all, it's just a brutally hard Action RPG. The best Action RPG you will ever play :).

hmm...I recommend you buy a copy of Demons Souls, assuming you have a PS3. Its available pretty cheap now. The game is very tough, but very fair. If and when you die, its almost always your own fault. but you will learn from it. I had that experience first hand last night :-) and i felt a genuine sense of achievement, having taken down the boss on my second attempt

I got an XB360. No PS3 yet.
Heard a bit about Demon Souls when one of my friends was playing it... And even though he loved it, I just always got the feeling that it was just very very hard.
Now, I'm not averse to a game being a bit hard, but difficulty (for me) should not be the focus of my games. I'd much rather have a game that's entertaining through it's storytelling and immersion. When i was playing GTA IV,
Spoiler: show
I felt emotionally involved when Kate was gunned down
or
Spoiler: show
when i found out i was Revan in KotOR
... to me these are the moments I play games for.
I just want entertainment and engagement.
Sorry for the rambling, and i mean in no way to berate those who play and love games like Demon Souls... I'm sure it's awesome for you, and not just that... I'm sure it is awesome, fullstop. Just telling you why i think it won't appeal to me

Regarding the sense of achievement ... i need to start a new thread for that one :)

No worries dude :-) Demons/Dark souls are both fantastic games with sublime combat mechanics. But neither of them has any significant storyline to speak off. In some ways, thats part of the mystery/charm/appeal. But if you looking for an immersive storyline, best steer clear :-)

So after playing 4 hours of Forza 4 :D MY copy of GT5 is for sale lol

The graphics are just on a different level, The way the cars handle and feel and the sheer amount of effort put into the game can be seen from the start. Epic!!
 
Playing some Cod 4 MP again, and the also got myself The Witcher 2 :DDDDDD

Loving the Witcher 2, hated the 1st one, 2nd one is rawkings tho :D
