Original Gamer: Warning: Dark Souls is not for the casual player or for those who have weak constitutions. You will die many, many times. You will grit your teeth in anger and frustration. You will want to throw your controller to the ground and smash it, so if you value your controllers and your sanity, then leave now. But for those who are brave (or foolish) enough to endure the high difficulty and punishing enemies in a world full of demons, ghosts and dragons, then read on. Pepare to die in the world of Dark Souls, you poor soul.
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

Dark Souls isn't a hard game.
What makes it hard is the pre-concieved notion so many gamers have that death = failure. If you go into Dark Souls (or Demons Souls, for that matter) with that attitude, you're going to feel overwhelmed with a sense of failure and frustration and you're going to hate the game for being too hard.
If you can accept the fact that you're going to die, and don't invest ANY emotion into those deaths, you won't get frustrated and the game won't seem that hard... at all. It's all about attitude.
loving this game even though ive lost in total 30000 souls :(. erm.. could someone help i don't know where the giant black smith is in anor lando.
The game starts off brutal but it gets easier the further you go on (well it has for me) as long as you make the correct choices and use google if you get stuck. The community is very helpful in this game.
