History Awesome / DemonsSouls

* When you beat the game, after you have conquered some of the greatest challenges in video game history, built a character that no Archdemon can stop, and chose to let the Old One rest once and for all...that moment when the hero takes one last glimpse at his main enemy gives the player a feeling of true accomplishment that no gaudy cinematic could possibly impart on them. No twists, no strings attached--your war against the Demons is over and ''you have won''. It's even stated outright that ''you are now the unyielding defender of the world and the keystone to its stability''. If the demons ever come back, they better sleep with one eye open.
* In the remake, the Penetrator is one of the most gorgeous fights in the game, with his ornate black armor and flickering red sword complementing the architecture around him, particularly the gold in the floor. His style of combat also encourages shield-forgoing melee players to break out some intricate rolls in a pleasurable, if brief, fight.

** The Storm King is also, particularly in the remake, a particularly excellent spectacle boss. The fight itself is just a matter of using a special weapon several times, being careful to keep moving to better avoid projectiles, but the Storm King is an utterly prodigious, intricately-detailed giant whose scale is sold by him repeatedly flying over you amidst a powerful storm, so it's still an awesome fight.

* June 11. The UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 stream. Reveals like ''Deathloop'', ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''. And yet amongst all of that, comes a few lovely looking gothic shots...and then a familiar shot of a corpse being dragged across a valley. Over a decade since its release, and nearly nine years since ''Dark Souls'' built on it to create a whole new genre, ''Demon Souls'' is getting the remake treatment!
** What has been shown off already simply looks ''[[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome incredible]]''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slB8M5qvr1E Look at this direct comparison]] and see the sheer detail and polish this remake is bringing.

* In Shrine of Storms area 4-3, you can find a special sword called the Storm Ruler. At first glance, it may not seem very useful, particularly when you check its stats to find it has only 10 durability (the lowest of any item in the game). Then you give it a swing...and watch as it splits the air in two with a vertical shockwave of death, [[HolyShitQuotient slaughtering every flying manta ray that happens to be even near the shockwave's range]]. While it only makes shockwaves in ''this'' area, it's still satisfying to swat those enemies down from the sky, as well as take large chunks out of the Storm King's HP with every swing. The fact that it's one of the best spots to farm souls is just icing on the cake.

The war is over and you have won, with no twists or strings attached.]]

* Every time you beat a demon. Think about it: It's your character, probably with half of his/her health, against a whole ARMY of monsters that occupy the area. You managed to beat all of them, or at least a large part, and THEN you've killed a powerful creature. If it doesn't make you damn proud of yourself, then you're not human.
** Arguably - The whole point of the game.

* The fight with the boss of 4-3: [[spoiler: It's just you against a small army of flying, spear-shooting manta rays and their enormous progenitor - but you have the Storm Ruler, ancestral blade of the Shadowmen, with which they rent the skies themselves asunder in ages past. ]]
