Bandai Namco has released its latest financial report, revealing that the Dark Souls series has reached around 40 million units combined.
Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.
This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.
mh ur right actually.
dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.
bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
I seriously need to play this game. It's stuff like what's mentioned on this list that I wish more games offered. I'll definitely be putting this one on my Christmas wish list.
I definitely agree with the last thing...games today are just too easy and Dark Souls gave me that true feeling of being scared of dying.
Yeah... he was the first one I was targeting. And it goes perfectly with point 5, I have NO clue how to fight him. I haven't wiki-ed it, watched it, nothing. Did I want to gamble my 55k souls and 2 crucial levels or fall back, gather myself, maybe go in as Human & see if anyone else was there with a sign down? I had already died in the lair once, I wasn't going to waste what I had earned.
I love Dark Souls. Platinumed it, and continued playing. I'm on NG++++ now. Even Nito is difficult. Not to mention Ornstein and Smough ):
and From Software should learn how to make a SATISFYING Ending.
Dark Souls' both endings pissed me off.
