Everything in the game can be overcome with persistence except for backstabs in PvP, seriously gently caress that poo poo.

The logitech f710 and steam controller are both 59.99 at "the retail video game store for losers" here in :canada: and imho the steam controller is the better buy.

only downside to steam controller is having to run steam to use it

UPDATE: I bought dark souls 2 because they don't have 1 on PSN. And boy is this game trash. Everyone who says this game is tough is wrong it's broken in a bizarre way. I'm getting raped by giant knights atm who are clearly out of range but hit anyway including hitting me when they swing forward but I'm hella far behind them. That and everytime I dodge or swing I cannot move for over 1.5 seconds. What a good mechanic to put in

if you are giving each other tips that involve exploiting enemy ai and manipulating the engine to get enemies stuck in walls the the game is not challenging it is broken and you are trying to justify the fact that you bought a broken game at full price

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Quite honestly, the bosses in the Dark Souls games are too hard to fight solo. The only way to beat them with (without being an obsessive) is to beat them co-op. So, when you come right down to it, it's a co-op game.

My roommate bought dork souls cause he heard all the cool pro gamers played it but then he got like 2 hours into it and gave up because it was too hard and then a few weeks later he bought some dark souls ripoff game and kept talking about how cool it was because it took strategy and planning and very elite game and then he quit playing it after like 2 weeks cause the first boss kept owning him lol

dark souls has some p dumb gently caress you moments that an inital player could not ever reasonably be expected to avoid which might b its biggest flaw

vbut it is the type of game in which you will look back on the things that you initially though were hard as babby piss idiot poo poo as you chainsaw your way through hordes of things with your eyes closed. like if your legitimate criticism of the game is that its too hard then y did u buy it. you were not hoodwinked in the experience u recieved

the trick to beating darksouls is so circle strafe around the enemy and roll through their attacks and plant some of your own in there, its very fun to do that against all of the challenging foes in the darksouls games

Just the fact that your roll doesn't mean poo poo and makes you loving invulnerable and you are supposed to roll into the enemy weapons, how the gently caress is a new player supposed to understand that.

Just cowering behind a big enough shield does the trick 7 or 8 times out of 10, too! A few bosses will punish the poo poo out of you for doing that but that's just the game reminding you that you should get gud.

i know we live in the day and age of bideo djames having little counters and gps arrows and giant glowing sparky bits that tell you exactly how far away from the next mcguffin you are but dark souls descends from the dark and decrepit past of poo poo garbage piss for idiots and is actually the polished, player approachable version of the formula

ya. no reasonable new player would ever be expected to understand that without dying a few times. thats how the game teaches u. by killing you

again if your legitimate criticism of the game is that you die too much i think you might have not done your research into what 'dark souls' is
