Dark Souls (the original, good one), as you might know, was released on PC with the very disliked and some might even say hated GFWL multiplayer framework. Well now, 2 years later, as GFWL dies a silent death, they have decided to port it over to steamworks next month. Praise the Sun! Why post this in GBS? Well, Dark Souls( the original one) is a family friendly hack n slash type game, that is probably the best game ever. So even if you hate videogames, you will like Dark Souls (the original, good one)

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

i would just like to say that dark souls 2 is only not good in comparison to dark souls 1, which is possibly the best console rpg of all time, and certainly the best modern rpg period.

so just, you know. ii'm not a huge gamer or anything because i like real art but dark souls 1 is a very good game and is much better than the last of us or hwatever

I'm not quite sure, you will have to ask a videogame expert for that. However, I can confidently say that Steamworks is cool, good, and neato, while Microsoft GFWL is bad, republican, and a redditor, I hope this sheds some light to your question.

I played for about a week and realized that it was like 25% running back to where I died, 25% losing my way and wandering into a different zone and 49% dying and 1% actual progression.

I gave up once I stumbled into some spiral staircase. At the bottom? Some huge gently caress off monster thing with a club. Deleted all local files and haven't looked back since.

gently caress that game forever.

I swear to God my palms just started sweating from this image. I think I spent like an HOUR trying to beat this poo poo until I realized that I was probably in the wrong zone.

And then I realized I was lost and I had no idea where I was supposed to go.

No thank you.

the game is actually easy, I think that you should ge tout of your comfort zone more and try games where you aren't gently railroaded into slightly increasingly more difficult enemies

oh no I have multiple paths: one path takes me to a bunch of monsters from hell who paste me in seconds, the other path I seem to be able to handle

I AM QUITTING THIS GAME FOREVER BECAUSE I WENT DOWN THE FIRST PATH

stop telling people its easy then, you're lying it takes a lot of learning

"I couldn't stop saying aloud how miscast Jim Carrey was!"
Dark Souls is like Sonic the Hedgehog

You'll WANT to run forward all the time, and it's fun just to move around. But you can't do that, because the game is designed to kill you quickly if you do. So the first step to succeeding is to dial it back and pace yourself while exploring the level.

tl;dr Sonic and Dark Souls troll out everyone who plays them
