Dark Souls


Dark Souls is the sequel to Demon Souls, but I don't consider a sequel story wise because I don't see any connection between the two. I enjoyed Dark Souls because the AI were incredibly smart in comparison to Demon Soul's AI. Also, the fact that you can now buy souls at a fire spot or "safe area", which are placed throughout level decently, is incredible and at the same time stupid. I'll explain why its stupid as well as why I want to burn this game, but not in a bad way maybe (laughs). I love that you can now jump down from somewhere and plunge down on a boss, which is awesome!!!! They made this game so unpredictable that I am caught off my guard every time go to a new area because a enemy usually ends up ambushing me or something that should not be an enemy. Sorry I won't be spoiling any story if you want to read about the story go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Souls.

Burn Time:

Well the obvious first thing is the coop of this game. First off, if you expect to play with your friends on this game and have a blast, Forget it! Me and a friend spent 30 min. trying to get the coop to work only to find the process we would have to use would take us hours even days to find each other and the other thing is that we have to be remotely close to each others level. The level bit of this makes sense, but to have to look for each other for 10 min. or more is stupid. This game's coop system is designed for you to play with unknown people in the first place, which is cool, but not cool for the people who want to play with their friends.

The new feature where you can buy souls at a fire pit or "safe area" is cool, but also brings in "drum roll" soul farming. What I mean by soul farming, is that you spend near the fire pit killing enemies and then running back to level your character. This makes the game significantly easier, but don't quote me on this because this works well for early levels, but not sure for higher levels. I achieved level 15 through this method.

Hmm all I can say is if you enjoyed Dark Souls and want more of a "challenge", then go ahead and try this game out because it is amazing. 

If your looking to do coop with a friend, well then good luck to you. If you want to play with me, sorry I don't own the game just got a chance to play it.
