Curses don't stack after the first patch.

Post suggestions for alternatives, for your criticisms. We need points of comparison, otherwise it's just "it's cheap" VS "it's not cheap".

Yeah the game will put insanely crappy situations and crappy ass mechanics just to piss you off.

The only game i could think that trolled you more is scarfare, you go towards a back alley the game throws 5 guys with chainsaws and a cutscene so you lose control. Then tell you to survive. Hell you could buy the best car in the world that cots 5 millions but the police cars and gang cars will still teleport down from enteprise and can outrun you in speed despite being a pile of crap and you having the best car in the world

PROBLEM PLAYER? PROBLEM

Why people even play those trollish games is beyond me, it seems to me as if the developers were troll and made them just to piss off people, there are games that are HARD and VERY HARD, but they take skill, they dont trolol you with treasue chests with traps in them.

Maybe stop being terrible at the game?

At least get up to smough and ornstein before you rev up the QQ engine.

i've never witnessed so much incompetence and ignorance in a thread before, kudos, friend.

Capra demon? Curse mechanic? the Toxic in blighttown? LMAO. Obviously a high caliber game like this is not for you, stick to call of duty please/

Dark Souls definitely wasn't as balanced as demons soul. They tried to go too much into the YOU WILL DIE and went into some derp territory at times.

I also killed Capra my second try. Just rolled up the stairs, killed the dogs and it was a series of jump stabs from there.

It's not a diffiucult game but...

Compare to a game like gears of war or uncharted which are also easy... the difference is after you learn how to play in both of those TPS games you mind can veg out and play on auto pilot.

Dark souls is easy but if you try to play without paying attention you slammed down pretty quickly. Thats why people love it so much, its not hte difficulty, its the fact that it actually engages you and forces you to put some sort of effort into playing the game.

Demons Souls was 10.000.000 times cheaper

I won the whole game by poisoning the bosses, you cant do that in Dark Souls

These games me genuinely wonder... Assume an indie company makes a game with pixelated graphic and assume the developers program it so ridiculously difficult that it's impossible to win the game, would this game be a 10/10, Game of the Generation? I think yes.

Yes.. did you not see super meatboy's scores? The graphics were just too good for it to get 10/10 though.

I admit Demon's Souls was a better paced and crafted game, but Dark Souls was ambitious so you can't fault it. They've dealt with some of the cheap things, and while its still cheaper and more OHK filled then Demon's Souls, its very fun and easy to understand with a bit of time and patience.

Back to Call of Duty and coloring books for you then

The perceived difficlty stems from the unusually methodical gameplay. Being hard is'nt what makse the game so addictive, it's having to focus on awareness and strategy above reflexes; eventhough you need those as well.

Well they are both fantastic games in many ways, but I do think Dark Souls should have taken a little more from its predecessor (such as the superior server based online and better balanced early game weaponry).

lol, that comment made me lul

Dark Souls is not stupid its just you.

It'd be wrong to say it's not a well made game, with terrific visual and audio design, but I can't imagine why people put themselves through this game. There is a thin line between challenge and frustration.

Now LOOK WHAT YOU DID with all that auto healing/aiming/blocking/whatever. Suddenly people feel the need to b1tch about challenging gameplay.

Well considering they even have freaking Patches from Demon's Souls making an appearance, I wouldn't say that's the reason. They own the rights to the name but I imagine the changes they made (open world, added difficulty) was a result of more ambition.

Sony says they have plans for the Demon's Souls franchise, which is nice to hear, but I'd like them to go ahead and make a sequel already with From Software involved. I haven't even beaten Dark Souls yet (I will eventually!) and I want more of the Souls games.

I actually don't think it's that hard... or stupid. Every game gets to the point where you know exactly how it works, and it becomes more or less an exploit-fest.

I swear these Souls games are the new Majoras Mask. The darlings of the internet. Undeniably great games but thier rabid online fanbases will defend any conceivable flaw to the death while simply blaming the player complaining and making assumptions about their personal character.

The only cheap part in the game is the two archers in Ar londo, everything else happens because you screwed up.

Is SW really so full of idiots?Second_Hokage

You're agreeing about Dark Souls being cheap...with a guy that has an Oblivion avatar.

The only idiot here is you.

Maybe if you said Diablo 3 I would agree but Dark Souls actually DOES take skill

Not hard to avoid curses at all, if you get cursed 9/10 it is YOUR fault
