Everyone should give this game a try, had a lot of (unexpected) fun with it. I liked it more than previous Souls games.

Hm, nice 4k and HDR demo, hopefully.
Wonderful, I wanted to be there Day 1 but I wasn't sure if/how the game would run on my pretty old PC.
People who played both pretty unanimously agreed that it's way better than LotF.

Will Pro support be in the demo version?

That's the kind of winning attitude I like to hear!

The fact that LotF has been associated with this game is so very unfortunate.
As has been said by others, The Surge is WAAAAAYYY better and deserves the chance that this demo will hopefully give it
Must be right? I mean the launch version had Pro support.

Good, I wanted to try this but Lords of the Fallen burned me hard.

I'm all over this. Been wanted to try it, but it hasn't been cheap enough for me to risk it yet.

It's actually closer to the opposite of that.
I wouldn't bother if I were you. I also guarantee you the demo is the opening of the game. You know, the only slightly good part.
Why would there be hype, if it was another Lords of the Fallen? That game had negative levels of hype.
There were people on GAF that made it their temp job to pretend Lords of the Fallen wasn't a 90s MacFarlane-esque pile of hot garbage.

That's nice. I'll most likely pick up the game and add it to my ever growing backlog, that's if I like the demo.

Definitely buying this game looks good from all the streams I've seen, a lot more colourful than I expected.
Not sure if I should buy it now play a bit then wait for the Scorpio to drop and play the enhanced version 🤔

I'll give it a shot now then, LotF was just utter trash.

Right around the time i will start building my brand new PC. Yes i will give this a go 
People shit on this game undeservedly because of Lords of the Fallen but the developers have improved so much since then its amazing to see. I'd argue its better than the last couple Souls games except Bloodborne. Amazing level design, a meaty combat system, tons of customization options from armor to mods to weaponry, and overall just a really well made and challenging game.
Some random things about the game:
- Digital Foundry called it one of the, if not the best implementation of PS4 Pro support around.
- The game entire file is smaller than a lot of games day 1 DLC, its less than 10 gigs with the patches.
- It has an amazing lighting engine.
- Its hard as fuck, even more so than a lot of the Souls games.
- The limb removal focus is a great way to do loot and gear.
- There is DLC coming out later this year, no real info except its coming.

I love this game. The level design and combat is great. Honestly the worst part are some of the asthetics and the enemy design. It's mostly just factory esque areas and mostly humanoid enemies in mech suits. Was kind of hoping for more weird techno organic creatures, like in SOMA or something.
That being said I LOVE just playing it and I hope other souls games copy its ideas (like being able to bank your souls for later use, and increasing your multiplier the further you are from the bonfire equivalent)

I enjoyed it more than Nioh and DS3 myself and it doesn't even have multiplayer

Why is it only melee?
That's the focus of the game.

Too late to save me the retail price. Annoying.
The game is 5/10 for me, utterly middle of the road. Interesting beginning that just vanishes under poor level design, floaty combos and a final 1/3rd that made me want to chew a hole through the controller.
It's not Souls hard. It's poor development choices hard. Better than Lords of the Fallen, though.
