There it is!
I mean...if nothing else is out....
After hearing the story from the Aiki's...
Well...I believed them...
Im kind of with you on this.
That being said, the game is excellent and significant steps past Fallout 3 and Oblivion.
I agree with everything you just said.
Might be a first for me on n4g.
Its frustrating because the concept of the game is SO GOOD. The art design is usually SO GOOD, but the actual execution is a clunky hack n slash.
If they did a stealth game properly, this would have been an amazing frachise...now...its just one I look for in the bargain bin when I run out of games to play.
If they fixed those load times...
Fire.
If you upgrade your pyro glove and nuke orestien, you can make that fight manageable fast.
I think with my +15 glove I was able to take Orstein out in 3 direct hits with Chaos Fireball.
Do it quick before the 1.04 patch nerfs pyro a bit.
I wonder what he will do next?
It seems he is going to take a break from the Souls series a little bit.
I dont want to get too excited here, but it seems like they may have captures some of these epic "BATTLE" screens correctly...instead of it looking like 10 copy past guys shoving chopsticks in each others faces.
I like it.
Its amazing to play a game where everything actually MATTERS.
And scary because you really can eff up a build early on.
Same thing happened to me with Demon's Souls and UC2.
I knew better this time around.
This is one Im not buying till its (1) cheaper (2) when Im out of other great games to play...After this fall...it may be next summer till Im open to play in the bargain bin again.

What a retarded question.
Some people absolutely LOVE FPS.
Some people absolutely LOVE RPG's.
For me, Im an RPG guy, but that doesn't mean they are the "better games."
There really is more to the story when you read the descriptions of certain items...talk to certain NPC's. That sort of thing.
Its not a sweeping epic or anything, but the story poses an interesting philosphical question.
For me, its Dark Souls...
For me personally (and that's all I care about), Dark Souls is in the DISTANT lead.
Skyrim will get its due (really excited for something relaxing like Skyrim) along with Batman, UC3, AC: Revelations...and a few others, but I just can't see any of them beating Dark Souls.
Well, Gamespot gave the GOTY award to Demon's Souls over UC2.
Just saying...
I immediately thought the Souls games.
I was going to write a similar article, but I took an arrow in the knee.
