Wait a second, Dark Souls was a terrible game!

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

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?

On top of the fact that it's Modded Warefare (insert # between 2 and 1000)

Was going to give you a failing grade but this little bit "and wanted to frustrate us because we won WW2" warrants a decent score.

7/10

Would read again.

The learning curve is steep, unless you've played Demon's Souls, then it felt pretty natural to pick up. Also: stop being a p****.

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

Mattizzle815

Terrible idea. COD has insane balance issues and can get infuriating. If TC gets frustrated with the SOULS games.........................

Can't wait to see what kind of hilarious actions TC does when he gets sniped by a quickscoper. :lol:

89 on Metacritic says otherwise. Just giving facts.

I honestly Hate Dark Souls. I like challanging, I do, but the game is just to frustrating. There is a difference between challenging and fun (like The Witcher 2) and a frustrating, punishing game like Dark Souls. Its just not for me, I really don't see the appeal of a game that punishes me.

Obviously Dark Souls isn't a game for everyone, but "a terrible game"? That's just incorrect. DS takes a lot of patience, and some trial and error, but as long as you play smart, you'll always find a way to succeed. The punishments for dying aren't even that bad (no where near as harsh as Demon's Souls), and personally, every time that I failed I just wanted to try even harder the next time. Also, I found Ornstein & Smough to be one of the best boss fights ever, so, to each their own I guess.

To me, it's one of the best games ever made -- A 10/10.

Oh, and...

The game did not want you to have fun, and wanted to frustrate us because we won WW2...Second_Hokage

WTF?? Dude, not cool at all.

It had the worst learning curve of any game ever released, the fighting mechanics were always in favor of the enemy, you had little health, your stamina was always down, and leveling up did nothing to improve them much, 2 hits and you still die. And dont get me started on getting Cursed...The game did not want you to have fun, and wanted to frustrate us because we won WW2... Tell me you didnt contemplate destroying the disk during the Ornstein and Smough fight? Exactly! PC players, have fun punching a hole into your $300 LED monitor.Second_Hokage

its learning curve the worst ever? hahahahahhahahahhahaha damn console noobs you should go and play X.

wait i found dark souls a lot easier than demons souls :)

http://uk.gamespot.com/x-beyond-the-frontier/ go have fun with that learning curve then realise how stupid you were :)

as a pc player my 100 pound monitor wont get punched in and i look forward to buying the game again then running it on 60 fps with 8x aa and 16 af @ 1200p in blight town on my tv and roll on the new bosses :)

99.9% of games coming out these days hold your hand, and your complaining about the 1 game that doesn't? go play modern warfare

I think Nintendogs may be too hardcore for you. Might I suggest feeding pigeons in the park?

The only thing I hate about the souls games is the combat is way too slow. I prefer something faster, but the setting and design makes up for it.

I just wanted to say, Naruto sucks. That is all.

Different strokes for different folks, I loved Dark Souls and Demon's souls. Just because you like your games to be unbearably easy, some people like their games to be unforgivably hard.

Nothing was broken about the game, which is why it scored so well and it gets so much praise, the only hate it receives is from the people who don't know how to play it and fail miserably.

Saying all games should be mindless Call of Duty fun is like saying all films should be mindless Transformers fun.

Its dumb, and it overlooks the various reasons someone can like something, not to mention that Dark Souls is an incredibly fun game, just offering a different level of satisfaction through hard earned accomplishments and satisfying combat over quick "+10" XP marks over each kill.

I mean... this thread is just, kind of ignorant of that, and I feel like that mindset is the mindset of someone who devalues the industry as a whole for not pandering to their needs and opinions.

I wouldn't expect much from a narutard glad he was shut down so quick.

1.That's your opinion.

2.Certian things you said are wrong about the game.

3.Nope, it wasn't terrible.

You must have hated Super Meat Boy as well.

Heck you must have hated most NES, SNES and Genesis games for being so Hard and Difficult.

The great mystery of gaming: Why are so Demon's Souls and Dark Souls considered so hard? I have platinumed them both without much trouble. Are they hard games? I guess, they are more difficult than your average game but it's how you APPROACH them. I heard so much about the games, how hard they were and how one trap can kill you.

So when i started to play the games, i was very cautious and very careful. I progressed through the levels slowly, often going back to spend my souls. What happened? Well to be honest i kind of breezed through the game, destroyed most of the bosses first try. So unless everyone is doing something massively wrong that just came naturally to me, i don't think they are as frustrating as people make out. Maybe people are more stupid than i thought and approach it like god of war or something...

I beat Ornstein and Smough my first try. Thats not to say I don't think the game was hard. Todays gamers are wussies I grew up on Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania on the NES. Ninja Gaiden took me 5 years before I could beat it and Castlevania took me 4 years.

The game's difficulty was actually quite overrated.

It got easier as it went along - you'll die straight away to pretty much everything at the start, since you've got no health and no idea where to go...but once you've levelled up and found a decent shield, most of the later boss fights are easily beatable on your first attempt (for example, I was actually honestly expecting that Cinder fellow to be a mini-boss leading up to the 'real' final boss, since he went down so painlessly to standard block-and-swipe tactics).

If anything, most of my deaths came from the game not offering any indication as to where to go (so you'll walk down the 'wrong' path and insta-die), or the clunky platforming sequences. Those were definitely bordering on cheap deaths.

Anyway, Dark Souls was far from a terrible game. It was generally well-designed and had some really good fights in it. It probably wouldn't hit any of my top ten lists - especially considering some of the anticlimactic boss fights and hilariously phoned-in ending - but it certainly wasn't "bad".

God Souls was the best game of 2011.

Demons Souls was the best game of this gen, Dark was just a massive disappointment to me...

I think they should have made more of an effort to make it's systems a little more transpararent. One of my frustrations with designers (especially Japanese designers) and some gamers is this belief that a game must be completely obtuse in order for it to be challenging. The problem is most other develops go way too far in the other direction in that you can't go 2 steps in any direction with out tutorial prompts...
