HG:
There are two complaints I have about the Dark Souls downloadable expansion Artorias of the Abyss. The first one is that it's needlessly tricky to get its quest line off the ground.

I would add :
- Difficulty is fun
- Art direction can be more important than high-res textures and 99 fancy post-processing effects
- You don't need tons of dialogue and cutscenes to make a great story

Great article. Looking forward to Dark Souls 2.

Dark souls/demon's souls are the gems of the generation. and I love the fact that they're sticking to their guns in how they are making dark souls 2

+1 Exari

Dark Souls is one of the best games I've ever played, yet alone best of last gen.

The only thing that pains me to no end is the lack of announcement for Dark Souls 2 to be ported to next gen consoles.

You should have played… Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition

CalmDownTom says, "Dark Souls is a jungle filled with man eating plants wrapped around a desert of stinging scorpions atop a mountain of razor-sharp cliffs and dragons. Not literally. Look, what I’m trying to say is Dark Souls is hard."

played it on my ps3 a long time ago.

I got it for the PC. After a couple of mods (none game changing), it's great! Highly recommend this game. I have to hand it to the console side, I would be missing out if it had never made it to the PC.

camel_toad4538d ago

I played n loved the ps3 pre-dlc/prepare to die version but would like to play the pc version soon.

About the mods, any graphical enhancement mods available?

JellyJelly4538d ago

Still playing it. Can't get past that damn Crossbreed Priscilla boss though. Wish I just left her alone. :)

If you get stuck you can go to a wiki and get strategies that can help:

Storm the shit out of her with great chaos fierstorm the moment she becomes invisible, (it will hurl 17 meteors, most of the time it hurts her enough to make her visible again), then she's a joke to fight.

pandehz4537d ago

Heard a lot about this game. What is it about?
Isnt this the one where the more you die the more fun you have?

Psychonaughty4537d ago

I'd honestly put it up there with Ocarina it's that good, yeah it's very hard but I'm not that good at games and I managed to finish it, you just need to be patient.

The game just feels fresh and has an excellent atmosphere, I'm sure I will replay it at some point which is amazing for me as I hardly ever replay games.
