Subject: Is Dark Souls Worth it?

Hey good ol' Floodians, is Dark Souls worth it? I am thinking about getting it, plus it looks good. I've heard great things about it, and that it's a very hard game. It's on sale for Steam, and I can afford it. Should I buy it?

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Depends on who you ask but overall, everyone will agree that you need some ball bearings in order to play that game. It's too hardcore to be inviting to most people but the game's sheer amount of content is enough to keep players (persistent/sadistic enough) who stick around satisfied.

It's definitely worth it.

If you try to play it with a mouse and keyboard you're gonna have a bad time.

From the ashes

I heard the PC port is meh. However, if you are fine with this, WAIT! It's not on full sale yet, there is most likely a day where it will be discounted for a lower price. It happened before, and it will happen again with the Christmas sale.

Yes, buy it.

Just a note, the difficulty is overplayed, go slow and take your time and you'll be fine.

Dark Souls is a fantastic game. I haven't gotten very far in it due to the fact that I've been too busy and had other games to play, but I've been incredibly happy to experience the limited amount I've seen.

The best takeaways come from the sense of mystery they capture in-game alongside the seamless and intriguing multiplayer design.

Considering its greatest hits priced now...YES YES YES YES YES WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU FOOL.

  • 12.22.2012 8:34 PM PDT

Don't even hesitate, get Dark Souls. You're definitely going to have to spend some time with it and get into it and you're going to die quite a bit, but I can promise you it'll be worth it. I have it for 360 so I don't know how it plays on PC, but if it's for sale then go for it.

The Wonderful LeSieg!

One of the few games I actually have the patience to 1000/1000. I have played over two hundred hours and I would start a new game right now if one of my friends needed a buddy to play with.

  • 12.22.2012 8:42 PM PDT

Probably the best game I've ever played. Put over 400 hours in and still have so many things I want to do. The possibilities are endless. I got AC Revelations the other day and I played it for like ten hours and all I was thinking was that I wanted to be playing DS. It's that good.
