PSXE Poll Update: Demon's Souls Is Your Most Missed
Demon's SoulsBut not by much!
Four votes, to be exact. When we asked you which 2009 gem you most regret missing up to this point, we figured it'd be a close battle but we didn't think it'd be quite this close. Demon's Souls barely edged out Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time for your "most missed," and let's not forget that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves wasn't far behind. The latter is a little disappointing; it's arguably the greatest game of the generation and if this poll is any indication, far too many missed out on Naughty Dog's masterpiece. C'mon, what's the deal?! But we're not surprised at Demon's Souls, which sort of came out of nowhere if you're not a RPG fan, and even those who never really play role-playing games were intrigued. It received glowing praise from the critics - it even grabbed GameSpot's Game of the Year - and it really hooked certain people. They will swear it's one of the best experiences you will ever have, in fact. As for A Crack in Time, that's not a big shock, either, as it was forced to go against some stiff competition last fall. You can't play everything when it first comes out.
This week, we'll make it easy. ...okay, we're just making it easy on us, because it's not a difficult question to come up with. However, it could be real tough for you: what's your absolute favorite PS3 exclusive thus far? Bear in mind that we don't mean the game you think is best; we mean your favorite. Let us know!

The difficulty is what gives demon souls its shine.
And there is never any cheap moves from the NPC's. if you die its your fault.
Although its hard. Its Also Rewarding.
If you have the chance definitely pick demon souls up. Im Still Trying To Beat Tower Knight =[

Don't get me wrong I love Uncharted 2 and God of War 3...no "Buts"....I just feel Killzone 2 didnt get the love and respect it deserves....greatest FPS of our time to date IMO.

1. Demons Souls (best gaming experience with Fallout 3)
2. MGS4 (way you end a series)
3. Killzone 2 (classic)
4. Uncharted 2 (entertaining)
5. GOWIII (higher if story was better)
Demons Souls is the most satisfying game I have ever played. It's all preference though and I loved Demons Souls the most.

dunno , gow is quickly rising to my favorite gaming experience so far, but if we discard gow for a minute here ...
ps3 exclusive....hmmm
id have to say either infamous,sooooooo much fun, or mgs4, but thers so many!!!
id guess ninja gaiden sigmas and uncharteds are up there too, killzone was THE best shooter i have ever played and i still go online from time to time
valkyria chronicles comes in a close third place, loved how they made it sort of a book, awsome strategy game and the water painting rendering is unique and beautiful thing to watch
see i like well made games that give me an inmersive experience, with a fun gameplay and plot line like the hollywood suspense thrillers that really bogle your mind for days after you seen it, and by that standard there are a few on my list lol

I nearly voted for inFamous, but Uncharted 2 had to take it, there was just too many breathtaking moments in it. Don't have GOWIII yet.

It ain't perfect, I'm certainly not claiming it is, but its mix of old fashioned challenge and some genuinely innovative online twists grabbed my attention and never let go. As slick and polished as franchises like Uncharted and God of War are, Demon's Souls really represents what I want most out of games, and that's why it's my mostest favoritest.

As far as this new poll: Metal Gear Solid 4 because... in my book it's the best game ever created. Everything about MGS4 is breathtaking from start to end.

The tools allow for such diversity, you can pretty much expect ANYTHING to be in a level. My collection of levels showcases just how diverse you can be, not one of my levels is the same as the last....what other game allows this?
I've said before, LBP is the only game i'd give a full 10/10. Its not my fave game but, for what it is, it's absolutely flawless.

anyway i think ratchet and clank a crack in time, no, just the whole ratchet series is one of the most under appreciated series out there.
sure its more of a kids game, but there is not one game i enjoy playing more than that.
well, with the exception of heavy rain, infamous and AC2, but close enough!

Uncharted 2 got my vote. The bit when you fall through the hotel window into the next building is my favourite video game moment ever.
Heavy Rain on the other hand was the most sublime, edge of my seat, intense 10 hours of gaming I have ever experienced.
Loved Killzone 2 and just finished God of War III which was superb.
MGS4 I'm going to play through next so I can see what all the fuss is about.
What a lovely choice to have to make. Every game on the list an absolute work of art!

Just have to have the cash, the job interview at the McDonald's went well and I'll be going to a test run this Sunday, so I might have enough cash for some games by the end of this month, Heavy Rain is first on my still to buy list though.
Let's see, favorite exclusive... hmmm... it's going to be annoying to have to pick between Infamous, R&C:ACIT, Uncharted 2 and GoWIII.
I thought LBP was a lot of fun, but I'm still more for the single player, non online stuff.
In the end it will probably be between U2 and GoWIII, I hate making choices...

I keep hearing about this demon souls, The thing is I hate RPG, I don't like it. I bougt Oblivion last year and it was the biggest mistake ever, even it came from the budget box. I wait till it cost 20 euro or so.

My favourite by far would be Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots. It's timeless.
But some people are making the list, so I'll jump in on it too ^.^ (just from the list though...makes it easier for me...lol)
1. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
3. Heavy Rain

I'm conflicted about Demon's Souls. On the one hand, battling demons in a medevil netherland is everything my heart desires (something my wife doesn't fully understand...), but a difficulty so punishing that even hardened game journalists felt the pain lead to me wimping out on this one

These RPG time sinks are all well and good for those hard core gamers that can sink a good 10 hours in a row into a game.
For us older gamers with restricted PS3 time it's the flashier action games that are more rewarding for that quick bit of gameplay or bang for your buck. (I also include Heavy Rain in that!).
RPG's that take 60 hours or more can never be on my radar for this time reason.
The train commute to work on the other hand, I put 75hours into Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP which was a superb game. I'm playing FFVII on the PSP now and am looking forward to Valkyria Chronicles 2.
When you are young you have the time but not the money and when you are older you have the money but not the time!
It's a cruel world!

SO. TRUE.
Although I still think that RPGs are better on home consoles, in general. If a game takes me a while to complete, it just means I don't have to spend as much money buying a lot of different games. Right now, Resonance of Fate is filling all my gaming needs with what little time I have to play, and I feel no need to play anything else at the moment. Of course, if I was able to game portably more often, then I would certainly appreciate your viewpoint. But appropriate opportunities for me to utilize my PSP as a gaming device are few and far between.
I'm still going to buy ModNation Racers day one, though, regardless of whether or not I've finished my current RPGs. :)

Yup, life is unfair. I hope growing old and not have a decease like Parkinson or something else that keeps me from gaming. Maybe then I can play games in the Retirement home. Maybe then I have time to complete all the games I can't play because of lack of time.

this weeks vote is actually quite tough, out of the list, I love Demon's Soul, MGS4, inFamous, GOW3, and Heavy Rain, all of them are awesome and unique it their own way. really hard, but i will still pick Demon's Souls as the most favorite this gen. FF13 is way behind, not even deserve to be in this list.
