... That isn't forum copping. Whatsoever. Don't be a hypocrite.

Anyways thread maker... are you a casual gamer? You won't like it if you think 'oh I'll just play this every now and again.' Oh no. This is a game you need to sit down and be a tryhard at. But is it worth that effort? ... Absolutely 100%.

Is success more skill-based or level-based, if you know what I mean?

Skill and knowing about the game, luck comes in more if you want to do something like a speed run.

'Skill.' Sort of.

The entire game can be beaten at level one. It just wouldn't be very fun and it would be pretty tedious.

The entire game is based around strategy. Every enemy, from bosses to basic creatures, has a weakness and a movement/attack pattern. In Dark Souls you have to learn every pattern of attack an enemy has so you can know when to strike. The tagline says you'll die a lot. Well... that's true. Learning all this, you'll die hundreds of times. We've all done it. I personally have rage-quit the game on three separate occasions. Mind you they were all on the same boss, -blam!- you Seath the Scaleless.

But once you figure out what to do? Well... once you've got it, you've got it. There's always a strategy to beat something no matter how impossible it might seem. The game is never cheap (well, except for the Capra Demon fight). Any time you die (except Capra Demon) you will know it was your fault. There is no BS in this game. That's really rare. It's just a matter of implementing the strategy correctly. Sometimes it's as easy as flanking an enemy, other times knowing when to run away and block. But there's always a way.

Dark Souls requires thinking, keen observation, and above all patience. But if you're willing to give it the effort, it is a FANTASTIC game. And very rewarding when you figure something out- using the internet ruins it (except for something called 'The Abyss' where you need a special item that is really difficult to figure out without internet help).

Oh, and always increase Endurance when you can. Just saying.

Isn't it sort of a rule to get it to 40 since you stop getting stamina after that right?

Yes. But until that point it's the most important stat. Stamina is king.

That's everything. All stat upgrades decrease exponentially when you reach 40.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

Got it for Christmas. So far have been taking the game itself slow, partly because of the sickness I've been fighting for the past week. Anyway though, it was certainly the best gift I've received.

Hint though, for an easier experience, I suggest some extreme grinding in the beginning. Of course you still die quite a bit in the process, but it's worth it, trust me.

I don't think you understand or even know what forum copping is...

OT: yes. My game of 2012. So atmospheric and immersive, and hard as nails to boot. One of the best combat systems I've used in a game as well.

The PC version of the game can be modded easily to have higher resolutions, as well as 60fps too.
