completion?? lol

to quote IGN's fantastical review:
Never mind whatever action games you've played before, you have to learn to fight all over again because, simply put, you're only human. That might not sound so bad when you're gleefully taking apart a zombie with a mace. How are you going to deal with a pack of feral dogs? Or a rat as big as a Land Rover? These are the questions Dark Souls asks you, before leaning back in its high-backed leather chair to light a cigarette. It never rushes you. It never needs to. It simply tells you, to your face, that certain death lies this way. And then it tells you to walk.

What defines Dark Souls is the moment you decide you're literally out of your depth, and turn the hell around, with all your precious XP intact, to go explore somewhere else. But for the most part, you won't do that. You Will Die.

this i read after my last comment here. and its 100% true. the first boss apart, which killed me 2 times, the zombies killed me 4-5 times. each time because of my mistake, because i forgot to put up the shield or because i forgot the key binding for jumping back.. this game takes the Extreme difficulty level in the hardest game till date and takes it up up a few more notches and presents a game which does not have any difficulty level. it redefines the HARD difficulty level.

lets see how far i can before i put the controller down in frustration.

Finished some days ago. Was very satisfying journey and its one of my favorite now. end was very good lol...its great because you won't be lazy even fighting with a low level creature ..game catch you in and you'll forced to concentrate .. best bosses I have faught so far, never faced a knight liked havel the rock, he made me dodge expert..and best sword play that I'v ever exprienced. Played with a knight so not only sword but a magic skill (lightening spear) was life saver quite a time. Game has large variety of interesting creature ..some that you'll hate for long. Liked it. Waiting for ds2.

I removed my armor and backstabbed him to death. Agility helps much more in dark souls. Even boss fights need that.

So thats the matter... I had heaviest armor equipped all the time. This also prevented me to use thief flip.

This game literally changed my standard for video games. No other game seems as interesting as this one. Except may be Metro, STALKER series but theya re in different genre.

Yeah. I find zwei +14, great scythe +14 and spears (when you need to keep your shield up) as good weapons.

Black knight weapons are good midway through.

^^It's not hard. It's about learning the pattern. So even if you die in a boss fight first, you will learn something new about boss's pattern and next time come stronger as an opponent.

This game is brilliant. The satisfaction after defeating any enemy is beyond measure. It's like STALKER, where you need to keep your guards up and learn the environment. It's like a zone out there and you are surviving before going completely hollow. It's as real feeling as you can get when wielding those weapons, each swipe of weapon feels so authentic.

It's full of hidden treasures, areas and stories. There are more ways to do anything. You can always ask for help or look help over internet.

And another important aspect is the online co-op by getting summoned to another world to help fight area bosses. Invading other's world or getting invaded.

Dark Souls 2 coming this march :)
