I want to get that game, but on PC. Had it on 360 and came across a game-breaking bug and/or glitch so I stopped playing... I take it's incredibly frustrating.

This game is complete and total bullshit. I hate it. I loathe it. It breaks ever gaming convention that I have come to know and live by. I die entirely too much.

That being said, as brutal as it is, it never feels like it is unfair brutal. It is tough for all the RIGHT reasons, rather than being cheap. Even so, playing this game actually scares me because I know that behind the next corner or around the next bend I am going to run in to something that is probably going to kill me. It's intense.

My friend described it as Super Meat Boy that has a Skyward Sword skin thrown on it. It's just a difficult platformer that you have to memorize something new each run. Each run you get farther until you figure out the route you want to take to maximize your run. I love it.

Still...FUCK THIS GAME.

You can't, the game doesn't allow you to use party chats.

Probably a good thing in my case. The censors would be working overtime...

Demon's Souls is harder and I love both games. It's nice to have a challenge for once.

Died 2.5 million times on the Quellag. Stocking up arrows so I can cheap her in the corner. Thankfully they haven't patched that safe spot yet. This game can blow me.

Dived back in after a month or so away. Figured out I need to change up my weaponry, upgrade it some. Switched from the drake sword to a battle axe +5, never realized the drake sword doesn't level. Trying to run Anor Londo but I need to get some colored shards to really beef my axe up.

This game murders fools.

I've been trying to go as FAQ free as possible. Without looking at any guides other than some basic weapon and armor guides(picked up the Drake Sword early) and a guide to the Quellag I managed to make it to Anor Londo. That was about 2 months ago. Got shredded badly and walked away.

Decided it was time to wave the white flag and FAQ it some. Man...I've missed a lot. I've been using the Drake Sword the whole way which has pretty much handicapped my run to the point that I should have never made it as far as I have. I had no idea about just how important scaling is in this game. That being said, got my Battle Axe +10 ready to cleave some bitches and I'm about to make my run on Anor Londo.

You know, I'm getting tired of updating about my runs through this personal hell. In the Duke's Archive, just got blasted. Thought I was making headway but yeah...no.

Anybody who hasn't played this yet, I strongly encourage you to do so soon. The community is going to be dwindling and online co-op is a saving grace sometimes.

Just rolled on Gwyn for the first time. I got shelved but I'm using lightning which apparently is a big fucking no-no.

I don't mean to brag but, I demolished Gwyn on my first playthough with pyromancy. The fight was over in less than 10 seconds

:rabbid:

Dark Souls is one of my favorite games. I love everything about it, and like I've said a million times before, it's not so much that it's a hard game, you just have to play by their rules, that is fighting enemies one on one whenever possible, equipping right armor set for each boss and learning good strategies for defeating bosses. Man this game rules.

I had to legit quit Demon Souls because I didn't have enough free time to invest in failure.
