I wasnt sure it was going to be my kind of thing, because I typically dont enjoy bashing my head against a wall trying to progress in a game, so I decided Id just rent it instead. I then spent my first 8 hours getting from the tutorial area to Firelink, to the Undead Burg fireplace to the ladder shortcut above Undead Burg. Eight hours. I was not having fun. I came very close to giving up and taking the game back. But something told me to try again. Maybe something about my build sucks, or Id prefer a different weapon. I started over and chose a Pyromancer instead. 45 minutes later, I was right back where I was after 8 hours my first time through. All of a sudden, I realized that I was getting it. It wasnt that I suddenly had better gear or something. I was getting better. I rode this momentum through the entire game in a week, and the Dark Souls series had a huge new fan. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:949570606] in The Board ...
