I've had this game since launch and somehow (aside from Silent Hill: Downpour, which i picked up yesterday) its still the only game I play. It pretty much trumped Skyrim to the point that whenever I try to play it, I get bored in 5 min and go back to Dark Souls. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Game of 2011.
Can anyone spell RMT?... way to go Blizzard... This was the main RPG i was looking forward to, but now I'll just stick to Dark Souls. This game is going to be nothing but 8 year old Korean kids who sleep under desks in shifts to sell gear and gold. Blizzard should worry more about making a good game rather than filling their already cash laden pockets. This makes me completely rethink buying this game.
I have been a huge Silent Hill fan since its release on the PS1. I have played every installment (with the exception of the Wii version) and have high hopes for this next iteration of my favorite game franchise. While no game in the series has recaptured the depth and story of Silent Hill 2 (in my top 3 games of all time: 1.Dark Souls, 2.Castlevania:SotN, 3.Silent Hill 2), I have still enjoyed every single version. Although Homecoming was admittedly not up to the previous installments high standards, I hope that Konami has learned from it's mistakes and brings Silent Hill back to where it's loyal fans expect it to be.
@Chachachedda Don't give up bro. While I'm one of this games biggest fans, I have to admit that the learning curve can be a bit steep for some gamers. I'm not afraid to admit to a few of the bosses having kicked my ass 10 times before I defeated them, but with persistence and attention to their patterns I overcame them. It's a very unforgiving game, yet it is the best I've played in years. My advice would be to watch the enemies attack patterns and learn to counteract them. Also don't go by anyone's set strategy or charachter build. Find out what works for you and go with it. Good Luck! I hope you're still giving it a chance. Don't give up and go hollow!
Isn't it funny when people review this game and give it a low score just because it kicked their pathetic asses? I read these reviews and realize that they probably didn't get much farther than the first or second boss (if that). I'm not a fan of Call of Duty games, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go online and give it a sh*tty review just because I don't like the game. Anyway Dark Souls 10/10.... PRAISE THE SUN!
New Game + just makes a great game even better. When i watched the credits roll I had to drink a toast to all of the people who worked so hard to make this game. Not since Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Metal Gear: Solid, Resident Evil 2, Silent Hill 2, have I felt so drawn in by a games environment and depth. This is the best game to come out since the next-gen platforms were introduced. If more game developers would pay this much attention to detail in their games, we wouldn't be overwhelmed with crap.
Just beat Dark Souls... Best game I have played in years is the simplest way to put it. Now to play new game+ to get the other ending. To be honest I was sad to fight the final battle. I didn't want such an amazing gaming experience to end. Game of 2011.
