I would've contributed to this ranking, but simply ran out of time and couldn't find the spot to get it done.

Don't know how much I would've affected things though. As we can see from the top 5 of both categories, sometimes quality is very objective.

Would like to say a few things first though, before we get to the inevitables:

Ceaseless Discharge: Why do people dislike him so much? Either you take advantage of the environment to kill him, or you take advantage of the environment to fight him. Actually fighting him can be really cool, because it's "this is how you can trick a giant". The cheese way is kinda lame, but it feels like it fits the lore.

Tomb of the Giants: Too high. What an awful area. Hated it so much.

Four Kings: Difficult boss that deserved more praise. I actually think they're way easier on NG+... go Havel and just tank.

Sanctuary Guardian: Easy joke boss. Too high.

Blighttown: I didn't really have the framerate issues, so I don't rate it nearly as low as some people. I think the design is really cool, because this calls to attention maybe better than any area the interconnection between the beginning zones of Dark Souls. You just keep going down, and down, and finally you're at the bottom. You look up and you're like "woah, I came down here". AND YOU CAN GO FURTHER DOWN! So cool. The bottom isn't as great, nor is the small sewer area, but the rest of it is money.

Sen's Fortress: Best part of this place is how it is an ascent - climbing and climbing. Get to the top, look behind you, see the Parish, etc. You climb and always risk falling. That's what I loved about this place.

I'll finish with Bell Gargoyles: The only boss I got help on my first playthrough. Kinda wish I could go back, but honestly, I was really close to quitting without beating them. Gargoyles really defined my Souls experience to me.

At some point months ago, my girlfriend ended up with two toy hippos that she found and gave them to me. I put one on top of my bedside table, and one on the ground below, naming the bottom one Quelaag and the top one Bell Gargoyles. She regrets giving them to me :P
