Evillordexdeath 05/20/21 11:46:18 AM #259:	I'd rather not dwell on negativity, so let's go straight onto the next game: Dark Souls Release Date: September 22, 2011 Playing on: Playstation 3 Previous Experience With Dark Souls: Played it through several times. Expectations for Dark Souls: The Game of the Decade. So yes, before I started this project my personal choice for Game of the Decade was Dark Souls. I've fallen in love with a few new games so far, but nothing has quite come along that knocks it off that pedastal. I've done multiple playthroughs of this game one right after another. I pulled an all-nighter to play the entire game in one sitting on my Dad's roommate's XBOX when I was 20. I get a little jolt of serotonin whenever I see a picture of Solaire. I love Dark Souls all the way down to my depressive little core. I don't want to go into all the reasons for that too exhaustively at the very start, because there should be time for that later on, so I'll try to sum it up: Dark Souls has awesome combat mechanics, a huge amount of depth in terms of build options and weapon choices, immaculate visual design, an awe-inspiring sense of scope, tons of secrets and alternate paths, and a hauntingly beautiful story about entropy that makes great use of its medium and the unique narrative devices that come with it. It's a work of art through and through, and at risk of showing tunnel vision my goal with this project for the next little while won't be re-evaluating the game so much as it will be to prove that. Although that being said, there are actually a few things I've never really done in Dark Souls, in all the time I've played it, so I want to take the chance to get out of a few habits I have around the game and try new things: - I have never fully explored the Valley of the Drakes - I have never completed the DLC (I bought it late) - I almost always go for a strength build and use the Zweihander, so I'm thinking of scaling dex this time around and maining the Uchigatana. It's been too long since I've played this game, so I'm excited to be back. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
