5 Dark Souls Bosses that Made me want to Punch a Baby in the Face: err none... Why would having a relaxing time effortlessly killing dark souls bosses cause me to want to Punch babies. That's weird.

I got so pissed off from the totatl lack of challenge that I punched a million babies.

Well actually I think the funnier meme is that The game IS hard, but... It's not actually that hard. But, here are 1,000 tips so you can get started and here's a megathread full of moral support. But the game really isn't that hard.

Same here.

To me it's worse that people talk to forums like this or whatever whom should be upholding the integrity of the single player experience and know better, that get's my goat about it.

You just reminded me of the games thread "tell what I need to know before playing this game for the first time" where people would post a game and a fellow goon would lay out every single overpowered thing in the game for them.

That thread is sad.

You and I are in the same boat, except I was duped into buying Dark Souls on steam and spent literally 2 hours configuring the awful Games For Windows Live bullshit and then an hour playing around until I realized it was unplayable without a controller. Then I bought a controller and played for 30 minutes and kept getting killed by skeletons so I ragequit and never started back up. I tried getting back into it at one point but the second I saw the GFWL screen when reinstalling I had flashbacks and gave up.

Goondolences. The steam version works ok tho. Also, the skeletons is the wrong way.

They chopped GFWL out of it, but you still have to jump hoops for it to make the graphics not look like farts.

I payed $20 for Dark Souls, had fun until the levels sent me into lava caves, and got bored. I got my money's worth, but the locations around that lovely tree boss felt dull enough for me to lose my curiosity.

I don't think you understood what he wrote there.



People who ask for tips n tricks before they even play are the worst... It doesn't take a genius to figure out a video game. Although I'm really bad at most games I play so maybe I'm just retard with a fried computer brain and also stubborn
