New thread for any Dark Souls discussion
Anyone playing for the first time (unlikely) can use this thread for help and general advice
Praise the Sun!

Would other SoulsBorne games go here as well?
Not Dark Souls 2 obviously, we're not heathens.

Yeah I think we cover Dark Souls I - III in here, possibly Demons too but it could have its own due to the PS5 version
Bloodborne and Sekiro can have their own, I’m sure Bichii will create a Sekiro one with it being the BEST FROM GAME EVA!!!!1

Isaac Quadfather you mean? There's no one that understands Dark Souls gravity better than him.

I recently attempted another play of this on PC. I put some time into it back on 360, but never even made it to the second boss (if we count the Asylum Demon as a boss?). Just wasn't in the mindset for it. Tried again on PC about five years ago, same result. 30 minutes in, I sacked it off again. What a chore. |

Phattso yeah you’ve really got to push through the early days of Dark Souls. Once you’ve won a few keys battles it really starts to click

It's not for everyone though so I think it's fine to just not like it. I don't know why people insist on putting themselves through games they know they don't enjoy or actually hate

Of course it’s fine to not like it but I don’t think half an hour of play is enough for something like Dark Souls. You need to peel back the intricacies a little
I hated Demon’s for the first week I played it, now it’s my favourite game

I hated it when I first played it. But when it clicks, it's very much like making love to a beautiful woman.

Oh he's really leaning into the uncredited plagiarism thing huh To be fair my first reaction was pfffffffff no, but it's basically a book of fan art that's done to quite a high standard. I quite like the look of it. |

Oh yeah, definintely. My first From game was Bloodborne and practically every defeated boss got my blood pumping and was a put the pad down, sit back and wait for my hands to stop trembling moment. Keeping your cool when you're so close to finally beating a boss is intense. It's worth sticking with to overcome a few humps before putting it aside
Never had the same rush with any other From game
