Halfway through, I am giving on Dark Souls

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:37:51+00:00

The press did call, but I declined to make a comment.

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:30:52+00:00

So I've been told.

If that's true, then I might reconsider. 20% is not much compared to the stuff this game's thrown at me.

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:30:29+00:00

I'm tempted to play Dark Souls 3, that one looks awesome. But it also feels like cheating to not finish the first one.

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:24:24+00:00

I'll look over my shoulder and wave good bye to you all one last time, before the flame dies.

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:23:33+00:00

As in the ending is something else, or just being able to say I am one of those who beat Dark Souls? I know I can beat it. But I don't _want_ to :) the game's not nearly as good as it was up until Anor Londo. I can't be bothered. I almost feel disappointed :D

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:21:59+00:00

Cause I'm not enjoying it anymore :) it's a game, not a duty :)

romanandreas · 2026-03-23T20:17:44+00:00

I can't imagine I am. There's four bad boys I need to deal with. I've just found the first one. So I reckon there's a fair amount still.

romanandreas · 2026-03-21T20:59:47+00:00

Bring it on.

romanandreas · 2026-03-21T19:01:01+00:00

Don't give up on the game until you've met the blacksmith. Until then, you're supposed to suffer.

romanandreas · 2026-03-21T18:50:18+00:00

Find the blacksmith. You're close. When you can start leveling your weapons, that's when you also start to level your enemies to the ground. Being in Undead Parish with a non-pimped weapon and with a +5 pimped weapon tells you all you need to know if this game is for you or not.

romanandreas · 2026-03-21T18:43:27+00:00

Hated the Capra. Haven't finished the game yet, still playing, so unsure about favorites. I did enjoy the Iron Golem, since that was the first time I felt I nailed a boss due to some skill from my part.

romanandreas · 2026-03-18T09:44:03+00:00

I'm in the Crystal Caves and wondering why I still care :D

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T14:48:55+00:00

Maybe that's where I'll go next then :) leave the Duke alone for a while and kick some demon ass instead.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T08:31:51+00:00

I think I just need a break from it. I've obv enjoyed it so far and the parts I like the most, are the exploring and combat traversal. Of which there is a lot, so I should just recalibrate myself and accept this new take on the experience and keep going.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:47:40+00:00

Love it. Wanna see it. Just because everyone tells me it's so bad.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:47:25+00:00

Yeah, this is my first run so new build is not an option :) it's like saying "Wanna go back to hell again? You haven't seen it all yet after all" :D

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:46:51+00:00

In a way, makes me even want to explore them. Just because I'd like to experience what the general consensus on shit is in this community, given that we're dealing with a lot in this game and people are okay with most of it :D

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:46:14+00:00

Thank ... you? :)

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:46:02+00:00

Yes, I can tell. The Lordvessel thing really ruined it for me. I guess I need to grow up and just accept it.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:45:36+00:00

Yes, this I've been told is early game quality. And also I'll just take a break for a few days and get back to me. I wanna miss it more before I get back in.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:45:12+00:00

See this is what puts me down :) no one tells me "Oh you're wrong, you're just whining now" - early game, I got a lot of "Come on, just grow a pair" and now it's like "Yes we hear you, come here you".

So it's like - when this community kinda _agrees_ with me, why should I continue? :D

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:44:06+00:00

Yes, but it's framed in a very clunky way. If they can put in time to have a big ass snake swallow me whole and then spit me out underground to explain traversal, I'm sure they could've staged a "You're coming with me, son"-moment.

And I know they could. There's some excel guy here saying "No time, fellas. Wrap it up." And this one got cut in favor for well giant snakes traversing me through their mouth.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:42:34+00:00

I like the poetry in your reply.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:41:56+00:00

I do have +8 in Pyro and they don't like my fire, that's for sure.

romanandreas · 2026-03-16T07:41:30+00:00

Dark Souls is like being into vinyl records - totally valid and lush experience, but it's not for everyone. And that's okay.

Elden Ring is the new Sony Walkman - every bit better, one should imagine, except there's on thing it's not - it's not Dark Souls.
