That's funny, it doesn't sound like it made you appreciate it any more.

Oh it did, haha. There were times in DeS that I would die and have to restart the level and never found a single healing poultice. I thank God for the over abundance of them in DkS. Rather have too many than none. I also appreciate the refinements overall
to everything. I'll concede that overall DkS is the better game, but I hope DkS 2 has a little more demon in it.

Back on topic, this is the most unique and interesting game you could play. Go and get it, especially for $5. Like Isaac I've put plenty of time into this and as long as you can actually LEARN (you know, most people can't do that while playing anymore) you'll
do fine.

Exactly what Lactos292 said. The games difficulty is highly, highly overstated. It's sort of like a marketing ploy that works both ways. They say it's "extremely hard" to attract harcore gamers, but also scare away gamers. AS anyone here already knows by
now, it's probably my favorite game ever.

It's not nearly as difficult as people say, it's quite easy if you build your character with the right stats. A lot of people think its hard because they don't understand the mechanics - and rightly so, you have to 'discover' the mechanics yorself. The game
tells you basic button presses and how to use the inventory system at the beginning, thats it. You're left to discover the workings of everything else yourself, from spells, miracles, and pyromancy to weapon upgrades.

If you ever get confused about any of this stuff there are numerous wikis that explain things in a really simple manner, so essentially the real instructions aren't included with the game, they're just on the internet if you ever need to use them. The game
encourages you to learn for yourself what works for you. That means almost all the gear you find in the game is useful in some way or another if you learn how to use ti to your liking,

Get the game, put a little time into it. If you ever have problems, I frequent the Dark Souls subreddit and it's always teeming with new players asking questions and getting responses within the hour. It's been on sale a lot lately and the community is still
very, very active. There is a lot you have to do in this game to "do everything" I'd say it has just as much replayability as the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games simply because of how many different ways you can craft your character and PvP.

If you like dungeon crawlers, and you don't own this game, you're missing out.

This is the best game to come out this generation. Don't let the difficulty scare you. I wouldn't say it's hard, just unforgiving.

Can't really pass up a deal like this.
