Wait a second, Dark Souls was a terrible game!

So it wasn't a "hold X to win" game like everything else.

What, does it need more iron sights, auto aim, killstreaks, and perks for you to stand a chance?

loved the fighting engine hated the game.

i'm not going to eat a turd just because there are a few M&Ms in there someplace.

Wait a second, you're wrong!

"Waaaaaaah, it was too hard!"

The game was great. It offered a great amount of difficulty, but preperation and knowing the enemy's attacks really helped.

So every game out there should be a casual and easy experiance so you can sit back and sip ice tea while the game pretty much plays itself?

Oh no, there was finally some variety on the consoles!

I'm guessing somewhere towards the end of last generation with Halo or CoD being one of his first games.

Some people actually want a challenge when they play games. just because you don't, does not make game that are difficult terrible. Dark Souls was obviously too intense for you. Try simpler games like Angry Birds or Tic Tac Toe. Those have low learning curves and are relaxing

Sorry tc but you just suck and or have no patience... Go back to playing cod

i just replayed through red dead and turning off the lock-on makes that game go from a walk in the park to an actual challenge.

if games are too easy then most of the time it is operator error if there is a difficulty option.

Haven't played Dark Souls yet, but I completed Demons Souls. I really enjoyed it, primarily due its atmosphere.

The most frustrating thing about it wasn't so much the difficulty of the enemies, but being pushed back and forced to replay entire levels - some of which weren't particularly fun (like the swamp world...ergh...).

Demon's was a lot harder than Dark. Both fantastic games, best rpgs ive played in a long time.carlisledavid79

Changing a game's difficulty isn't the same as the core mechanics of the game having a natural difficulty to them.

Changing your core mechanics so it can scale to easier difficulties and to broaden the playerbase could have negative impact on the whole game on all difficulties.

Imagine if they had an "arcade" mode to ArmA, the changes they would have to make to the core would break the whole game, and most developers aren't going to spend the time to make two different versions of the same game.

Yeah the frogs spit poisonous gas, you cant block air particles, so you should roll away. If you die and get back to the same part, use arrows to bait them out (although I can't recall a section that has 5 frogs all in the same spot. I only know of one with 3 down in the sewers)

An "easy" mode could require some major changes to the core mechanics that make Dark Souls unique. Such changes don't happen easily, especially when the team isn't all that large and not running on a massive budget.

You can't just take your game an make an "easy" mode without a considerable amount of design changes, programing, and testing.

people want to make this out as a difficulty problem but it was not that.

it was a playability problem.

The bonfires are your save/checkpoint systems. You get a certain amount of Estus Flasks at each bonfire, and you don't get to replenish them until another bonfire

It would be incredibly lame if you could just kill an enemy, save, kill another enemy, save, etc

[QUOTE="dommeus"] They could have implemented an offline 'easy' mode to introduce the game and the challenge to newcomers, or just have an actual easy mode and split the community so players of different difficulties don't interact with each other. That way they may sell more copies and keep the normal fans happy.dommeus

lol, the game was so much softer on you than demon's souls. game's awesome, deal with it. it actually has a learning curve, for a change.BrunoBRS

I wouldint say its softer then demon souls mainly cause since its open you dont have a clue where you are going and I ran into 1 or 2 cheap tatics from the game. As in putting you in a tiny as corner with a monster thats waiting for you at the front door with a very long weapon and has speed and 3 or more rat friends waiting to trap you in the corner. Theres a difference between cheap and challenging and its seems to be more difficult then demon souls dark souls went to cheap tatics that involve luck rather then any type of skill. Thats one of the reasons I feel demon souls comes out the better game.

I agree it's terrible, but I got too bored with it before I could get frustrated. I knew I should have gotten NHL 12 in that buy 2 get 1 free amazon deal instead. :(

Renegade_Fury

you actually find dark souls hard? LMao :lol: FireEmblem74

Oh look at me, im so hardcore I beat Battletoads while juggling grenades and was having my appendix removed! :roll:

What is wrong with having to work to gain success, it is nice that success isnt handed to us on a silver platter.

Besides there are console games out there this gen that are way harder than Dark Souls.
