Demon's Souls: Game of the forever

...

Without its online stuff - and granted, I have until February to get to it - Demon's Souls will still be playable, but will it still be Demon's Souls? I am hoping that it will be something else, in a way. I am hoping that the absence of something so brilliant, so utterly defining in terms of the experience without being truly integral to the mechanics, will actually add to Demon's Souls mysterious allure. This is an old land, and some of it has crumbled away for good. Step inside and imagine what this place was like when it was whole. Few games are so perfectly suited for some part of them moving out of reach.
