Would of been a award winner, but its a broken experience

User Rating: 7.5 | Dark Souls PS3

in my opinion the game is awesome in all aspects but has 2 huge glaring flaws. the multiplayer is a step back from original DS and the frame rate issues and few other noticable buggs. the buggs i could get by and the frame rate as annoying as it is could be foregiven. but the advetisement and claim by fromsoftware devs. about the online being improved is totally false. all access to friends is now null and void. cant even find soap stones most of the time. so as for kevin vanords poverbal kiss assing of the title in his reviews dont really provide fair gander at the mutltiplyer aspect. and his forgivenace for the buggy frame rate and others ive noticed like a delayed timing of attack sequence, as if you never pushed the button, and then decides you did and your attack finally registers, after the enemy parried, and stabbs you twice. yes it is a great world but the multiplayer experience is garbage. even if you did meet up with someone good luck ever seeing them in dark souls again. i would rate this a 8.0 on the highside and 7.5 on the lowside, thus because of a flawed system and buggs. graphics are great but doesn't solidify the experience, and wandering for souls and fighting ridiculously hard monsters with out multiplayer just isnt fun but frustrating. especially kowing the fromsoftware made claim to "gather your friends". I do loike the single world aspect of running areas over and over though, alsmost has PSO feel but with a different setting and the ability to be invaded by a group of online invaders, but the online is broke. thus ruins the experience. been trying some different testing out and havent been able to meet up with any of my friends.
