Dark Souls is a good game, but I really didn't like its bizarre focus on platforming, since its a game with the absolute worst controls for that kind of thing.

What focus? I mean I'm not saying I didn't just block it out but any seriously tricky platforming was all off the beaten path for extra stuff/secrets.

I only really remember a few weird drops in blighttown, the great hollow and that one jump if you wanna go back to the asylum.

e; oh and the rafters in AL too I suppose

I remember like half the game as being thin ledges/small platforms over bottomless pits. They were the biggest killers by far in any of my runs. You don't have to jump often iirc but it's probably the most superfluous mechanic in the game.

Having to deal with it at all is annoying really, in an action RPG where fighting the enemies are what you're supposed to be concentrating on.
