Player Completes The Unthinkable In Demon's Souls
It's hard to see from the thumbnail above, but if you click over to the Siliconera story, you can see a larger version of the somewhat unbelievable image. A member of the Japanese forum 2ch posted screens (possible spoilers, if you can read Japanese) which show him or her having collected 99 of not just every demon soul but every boss soul in the game! As of now, there is no known duping exploit that would allow someone to do this, and the images don't appear Photoshopped, so this seems like the real deal.
Anyone who has spent some time with this incredibly difficult game will attest to how much time and dedication was required to achieve such a feat. Since not every soul can be collected in one playthrough, and he or she probably used at least a few of those boss souls to get the more powerful spells and weapons in the game, it likely required quite a bit more than 99 plays to get all the items. More like New Game++++++++++++++, right?
I mean, after the first couple playthroughs, you're probably powerful enough to breeze through the game (relatively), but then there's the matter of going through the motions another hundred odd times to max out all the souls.
Demon's Souls was released in Japan last February, so this person has had a bit more time to accomplish this than North Americans, but that's still a lot of work. Has there ever been a game you could have played 200 times over and still loved? Or is this just OCD and a severe case of agoraphobia?
