Weighing in on Dark Souls (Not for fanboys)

The things that make DS suck are the weirdest controls you will ever see causing the most OP encounters you will ever come across (seriously I died at least 5 times in the first area) no map or guidance system AT ALL!! I spent hours walking around that damn prison and you can't BLOODY PAUSE what do they expect us to do play the game till we die from old age. The people who made this game should crawl in a corner and cry because thats what I feel like doing every time I see this game.

Yeah, it's an average game with rather awkward controls. And, learning to work around the controls doesn't make the game any better, because the supposed difficulty is mainly non existent. All it really takes to defeat any enemy is a bit of patience to defeat any enemy. The game on a whole is just felt needlessly awkward and unfulfilling.

Bad controls....are we talking about the same game? The controls work very well when you get used to them.

The only control issue I ever experienced with the game was attempting to execute kicks and jump attacks, other than that it all worked beautifully for me.

I suppose if I was to name one thing I don't like about the game it's the overpowered builds and items that can be used in PvP.

I'm sorry, but if you couldn't navigate the starting area of this game, then your sense of direction must be pretty terrible. Thanks to the stellar level design, I can't recall a single time I was ever truly lost, and I've gotten confused about where I am in many other games. But if you died 5 times in the first area, and especially if this makes you want to give up, then it is truly possible that this is not the game for you. There is no shame in that. But rather than cry, the developers should ride dolphins through space while playing electric guitars, because that's how awesome they are.
