Your point is valid but you still have to admit that the game is lil harder which is the main down point.. and the only reason by which guys break the disk into pieces :p
Actually no, I think the game was a bit easy. They gave players a one hit kill weapon at the beginning of the game which you can use for quite a while. Look, if you're looking for a hard game and if you actually try to become better at it then Dark Souls isn't all that hard. Challenging yes but not as hard as you say it is. Demon's Souls was much harder.

The Souls series is for the hardcore gamers who have had enuf of games holding their hands through missions and objectives, its for those people who want to test their skill when they are placed in a ruthless world that shows no mercy for the weak. Play it only if you think you're ready, I've seen a lot of guys who wanted to play Dark Souls and ended up hating it cuz they went into a game with a "Heard it was hard, I'll give it a shot" mindset. They got killed too many times and just gave up on the game but then they came back with a "This time, I'm gonna beat it" mindset, and they utterly enjoyed themselves. They resent themselves for hating the game the 1st time they played it, its all about what you're in the mood for.

Yes, i am one of those guys who come back with the same mindset after attempting countless failed tries but when i am beaten again then i don't even feel like looking at the game.

The game is easy for players like you, who have finished the game many times and who have enjoyed playing it. one hit kill weapon doesn't matter, its still hard for hardcore gamers

Well i'm not sure maybe you're right.. btw many hardcore gamers (i know) who spend whole night gaming said a big NO to this game.

p.s. i was jumping on game's disk after trying out the game :D
You know playing games for a lengthy amount of time isn't enuf to be considered as a hardcore gamer. You gotta play difficult games and be a pro at them. Thats what a real hardcore gamer is.

.i plan on ending it FULL-HD with 60FPS goodness :)
If the rumors suggest anything now, it will be a straight port. Most likely locked to 30 fps + no improvements in term of assets for 1080p resolution.

i dont care abt the assets.i just want the res to be anything but sub-HD,16xAF+16xAA filtered and even 30FPS locked is better than 10FPS blight town.still considering they are putting extra bosses,weapons and location into the PC ver,higher quality assets seems very possible.

What? :eek:
I'm in love with it due to its difficulty.

Games like these? This game is the best FPS\RPG I've played on the PS2 thus far, I don't understand what you're talking about. :\

Everyone has his own choice and different taste than others. If i didn't liked the game and found it difficult then whats wrong in it? You can't force anyone..

now please don't say your taste of gaming sucks and your choice is bad..

most addicted rpg game ever
No it ain't, have you ever heard of a word 'Skyrim'

Bad news. This will probably be the first game in the last decade or so to have its resolution locked as well. Maybe some users can get past that through tweaking.

Meanwhile, heres something to calm you down :p


Beautiful.

You mean the game with a gazillion meaningless fetch quests, 6 enemy types throughout the game, no loot or equipment because u make the best items yourself, mind numbing and retarded combat mechanics.

I cant believe that it won GOTY at so many places. Dark Souls is a better RPG than Skyrim in every avenue.

Skyrim is catered to idiots who just want to run around doing random ass shit because they feel cool. It's so lame that i was one shotting dragons on the hardest difficulty level when i reached level 50 with my mage. So in theory the game is designed for bad players who don't plan their characters out and make leveling mistakes and yet still win at the game. Unfortunately if you're born with a superior IQ and plan your character progression out (As any self respecting RPG player should) Skyrim is going to bore you beyond words.

@TrueCoolGuy, this news will definitely HOT you up a little. Maybe shake you aswell.

Dark Souls Game Director Apologises To Console Gamers


Prepare not to die

For Dark Souls fans hankering for a new challenge, the news that PC players will be given additional content of the notoriously difficult RPG is difficult to swallow.
Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition will arrive on PCs later in the year with a whole load of new content and From Software is adamant the additional material will not be arriving on consoles anytime soon.
In fact, it feels so bad about this Dark Souls’ game director, Hidetaka Miazaki, has come out and apologised to players of the original game…
Hidetaka Miazaki: It’s completely understandable that people who bought the original version would ask about the additional content, however, as the director of Dark Souls I cannot say right now about whether or not this content will ever be available as DLC. But, I want to emphasis my sincere apologise to those players that bought the console version that we don’t have any news for them at this point.

360: What exactly is the additional content?
Miazaki: The additional content will include approximately three-to-four new bosses and three-to-four new areas. The numbers are still undecided, but that’s the volume we are aiming for and we will also be including a new storyline. And also there will be more NPCs and more enemies. Players will also be able to wear NPC’s equipment.

360: Were these extras leftovers from the console game?
Miazaki: To be honest the idea of the new areas was designed after the game’s release. However, we did have some of them during development but no one on the team took them seriously. It was designed 99% after the game’s release. During the development of the original console version the idea’s we had were small and were thought to have a minimal impact on the overall experience, now we are able to amplify these ideas.
