It is gaming intelligence
User Rating: 9.5 | Dark Souls PS3
This game is awesome awesome aaaawwweessssooommmee. I loved Demons Soul because it crafted a frustration in my that at times felt insurmountable. Making your way through a castle, then a tunnel, and the over the f**k!$ rainbow you make it to a wide open run only to have a giant fire demon smash you in the head, causing you to start over. Demons Soul was hard and punishing. Dark Souls is more refined, but also easier thanks to bonfires. Before you really had to be on your toes but now you can be more relaxed thanks to spawn points. People were complaining that this game is too hard but honestly in Dark Souls, a bos has yet to kill me (expect the one legged stone guy but he's a bastard). Those difficulty complaints aside, the world of Dark Souls is also much more interesting than Demons Soul. The latter contained mostly dragons and demons a sort of a typical set of creatures but with Dark Souls. I ran through a forest fighting giant ice monsters only to find a huge squid in the middle of a lake that shoots balls of water that soak everything in wonderous effect. It is a much more dissonant world but it is also graceful as well as terrifying. You begin to truely imagine this dead world and I have even began to dream about it. This game has absorbed me in ways few games have. It will keep me gaming all the way to October 25th haha. BF3! Seriously though give the game a shot.
