So I'm 60+ hours in on my first playthrough of DS1. Im a level 51 knight. Rang both bells, defeated the Hydra, yadda, yadda, yadda. And I think I'm gonna quit. This game sucks. I appreciate a game that doesn't hold your hand, I really do. But this game is completely incomprehensible. For a number of reasons. First, it is unplayable without using some kind of walkthrough. You will not succeed at this game without an someone else to tell you where to go. Which brings me to my second point. The story is non-existent. Even something as trite as Call of Duty at least has a token campaign mode that lets you know what is happening and why. Not so in DS. To date I have found none of the "lore" that I have seen others post so loving about. Third, the pvp is a joke. Summoning does not work. Ever. And finally, the game simply is not fair. Due to the complete lack of explanation boss battles are simply brutal exercises in futility and chance. No sir, I think Im done here. From Software got my money. Good for them. But they wont get it again.
