The widely anticipated release of the\u00a0Demon’s Souls\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>remake is just a little over a month away, and fans of the game could not be more excited. When the game initially released on the PS3 back in 2009,\u00a0Demon’s Souls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>slowly but surely achieved cult classic status among many in the gaming community. Though, many hardcore fans of the series have begun to criticize the game as a result of its pre-order bonuses.<\/p>\n

As the name implies,\u00a0Demon’s Souls\u00a0<\/em>is the first unofficial entry in the\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>series and became the pre-cursor game for the genre as a whole. As many in the gaming community know,\u00a0Dark Souls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>style games are known for their high level of difficulty and limited checkpoints. For numerous fans of the series, the fewer advantages the player is given, the more pure and diegetic the experience ultimately is, which is why many fans are not happy with the bonuses included with pre-ordered copies.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Demon’s Souls\u00a0<\/a><\/em>pre-order<\/a>\u00a0bonuses for the digital deluxe edition were shown off today, and as most people would expect, the bonuses are the typical standard inclusions. Weapons, items, armor sets, a shield, additional souls, and the official soundtrack all come included when fans pre-order the game. Though, this led to an outcry from many\u00a0Demon’s Souls\u00a0<\/em>purists.<\/p>\n

Some fans felt that the inclusion of pre-order bonuses gave the player too many advantages right from the start, making the earlier parts of the game easier as a result. For longtime fans of the game, and the franchise as a whole, these types of\u00a0changes to the original\u00a0Demon’s Souls<\/em><\/a>\u00a0aren’t what the game needs.<\/p>\n
