Dark Souls for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Let me just say this game did not feel like it was too hard too me, It was close to perfect challenge actually.

The beginning of Dark Souls actually gave me high hopes for this game. I breezed through the tutorial level I would call it which in all aspects should be a bit easy. The thing that got me was it felt fun and epic and like I was being tested! I was seeing where these people that praised this game came from. But then... I passed into the real desolate world of Dark Souls.

I admit I liked the graphics, and I enjoyed the atmosphere and surroundings. I was finally killed, my first experience with the difficulty of what Dark Souls is, And admittedly I was bit put off by how unepic it was. The enemy you deal with most of the first location pretty much entirely are skeletons, varied though not much different but enough to see the difference. You also deal with a few OP necromancers and what not but you get the jist.

The enemies quickly became repetitive and once they threw in the cheap method of necromancers that hide in some dank area and constantly revive the creatures you worked so hard to kill it gets quite annoying coupled with the fact that every flipping bonfire you rest at revives every skeleton you actually killed leaving you feeling like what is the point if I'm killing the same skeleton over and over again in a grind fest which gets repetitive VERY quickly? You're left wondering where the heck is the rewarding feeling I've been hearing? Its not very rewarding if you just killed 5 skeletons in a "Epic" battle and then rest at bonfire to know that those enemies are back and ready as ever its as if your pointless you did nothing to the world, you left no mark upon it. And yeah the bosses and specials don't respawn but every enemy is apart of this world right?!

I'm running out of chars to go further but immersion in this game is impossible which is for me the fun and finesse of games but here not soo much. Ill be sending this back tomorrow

The graphics and story line of this game are compelling. The game play is very slow and it is far too easy to die. I woulnd't have a problem dying in the same spot if it wasn't for the fact that all the enemies reincarnate and I have to retrieve collected souls.

I like hard games but this was ridiculous.
