**** dark souls

**** you, you ****ing **** you

my friends are always like oh hey lets play dark souls its so much fun

15 minutes later im throwing **** around and ready to break my controller

I'm nowhere near good enough at video games to beat my head against a wall trying to git gud at Dark Souls.

Scrubs, the whole lot of you.

any game that i'm good at it is directly correlated with dumping hundreds of hours into it and there's no way i could make it that deep into Dark Souls without putting a hole in my wall.

Dark Souls isn't so tough. Just go with a dex build. Roll on, my brehs.

Not tough huh? Play it like this guy:

I thought Dark Souls was pretty hard. I kept playing until I reached Ornstein and Smough* (or however their names are spelled). Then I gave up. Months later, I made a new character, reached them again, gave up.
A year or more later, same yet again. This time I steamrolled everything up to that fight, then struggled a bit with it, then beat it! ...but then I got bored with the game shortly after and didn't make it out of the Duke's Archives :laughing:

Played DS2 a year later after that and found it extremely frustrating. After wrestling some times with some dude with a shield (The Pursuer, I think?) I just threw in the towel.

Mostly played the Dark Souls games out of a sense of obligation, as completely insane as that sounds. My friends wouldn't stop raving about them, so I wanted to be a part of it, I guess. NOT my cup of tea. No thanks. Moving on.


*not to mention that the way up until that fight was really hard on my blood pressure. My first time through Sen's Fortress was probably the least enjoyable several hours and days of gaming I've ever experienced. It was really easy the 3rd time through though.

I think the hardest game I've ever completed was Nightshade. Compared to that, Dark Souls was a nice excursion. The funny thing about Nightshade though is that even though there are no stats to build, purely through skill you can kill pretty much every boss in the game with one hit.
