This will be the first of hopefully a fine number of games that Ill finally play after owning it for quite some time now because this project reached that point. I have never played Dark Souls before to my own shame. Its definitely one of the biggest games I have not played, as I usually want to try to beat all the biggest games released in almost all genres with the only exception probably being online multiplayer games. As such Im excited to finally try it out, even if Im quite late to the party. Ill be playing on Playstation 3.

My knowledge of Dark Souls is not too great either. I have played a bit of Bloodborne, which I know differs to be its own thing, but also has a lot of similarities, but I dont remember it too well, since I dont own the game and only tried the first few hours at a friends place. I know Dark Souls has reputation for being among the hardest games ever game, but Im also expecting that to be mostly because it provided challenge in a time where video games in general were being criticized for being too easy. As far as I know, its more trial and error. I expect to die lots of times, but once you figure out how to deal with something, its not that hard and so I dont expect to ever really be stuck. Not that theres anything wrong with that! I know the game is fairly open, often without the best path being very clear as theres not much story and I tend to love seemingly very tough challenges where the difficulty lies in figuring out how to approach something easily. I also know that the games can never be paused except at the save spots, partially because you can join each others world. Since Im just planning to play by myself and game isnt the hottest thing anymore, thisll probably be a nuisance mostly as I like to play games if I have an hour or so and then pause them for hours until I get back if necessary. Here it seems Ill have to hope Ill reach a new save spot in time, but I understand why its like that. For a few useless pieces of information, I know that theres a wolf boss in the game which Zacian from Pokemon Sword resembles and I know Solaire exists, I own an amiibo of him. Perhaps, Ill recall knowing more things as I play, well see.
