Dark Souls

[-Derp-]

Running past enemies isn't difficult, sure, the bosses are more difficult, meh.
You could pull it off, it's just that one or two mistakes you make (notably the Silver Knight Archers) that force you to restart.

I personally think the *best* person/people at this game are the ones that can do this:

I sold this game, i just don't understand why i can't have a fucking checkpoint before a boss that i've already tried 15 times to beat. I can't run by the monsters between me and him and have to beat all of them every goddamn time and it's rather the boredom of this that causes mistakes not the difficulty.

...what boss were you having trouble with?

Really, it's ''boredom'' that makes you fail against the same boss for 15 times? Are you sure? :I
Maybe you should've tried changing tactics or leveling up. It's open world for a reason.

Every boss has a reasonably close bonfire. You could just tell us what boss that's getting your hackles in a bunch, and we could give you a few tips.

I wasn't even far lol, not far at all.

Thing is, i just wanted a hard game. Not a game where when you die you have to do everything over. What about progression.

Your progression is the skill that you, as a player, earn, as well as the levels that your character earns. It's less tangible than progression in other games, but oh so much more satisfying.

After your first playthrough, you can run through the game again without leveling - even though that seemed frankly impossible the first time. That reeks of fantastic game design.

Dark Souls expansion will come as $15 DLC and the computer version will be on Steam.

Yeah, heard about that. Too bad console players have to pay for it, but that's probably the publisher's fault, and not From Software's.

The console version will be out after the PC version? Am I reading this right?

If the controls aren't critiqued as extremely clunky (as I expect they will), I'm probably buying it for PC.
