I've played Dark Souls for like 10 hours now and I just have to admit I don't like it. I am turning in my Yea Forums card. I admire its lack of handholding and overall design philosophy, but it's just not what I find fun in a game. Beating a boss is rewarding, yes, but the dread that comes after it knowing that the next part is going to be even more grueling just turns me off. The game is feeling like a chore right now. When I am playing Dark Souls I just think of playing games where I'd actually be having fun.
Having fun is in the mind. Rise above your puny mortal ways and transcend to having a good opinion about something. Until then, you still an hero.

Part of the fun for me were all the times I was afraid to venture further, for fear of what could be lurking around the corner, but I did it anyway. To this day I've never played a game with the same sense of wonder and excitement, and that's one of the reasons why I love it.
Adrian Carter
the other reason is that you're gay.
Carter Cox
You don't have to like something just because other people do you fucking loser.
yeah it's hard to beat exploring a new area in a souls game for the first time
Levi Clark
Is there any truly tactical strategy against Ornstein and Smough beside using halberd or summon help? Even speedrunners struggled against defeating these bosses reliably
Cameron Turner
No, I speedrun the game pretty regularly and it's just a matter of getting Smough to fuck off and bait out Ornstein.

Someone needs to obtain quality
Juan Thomas
the same way you beat everything in dark souls: block and press r1. they don't grab you so you can just guard forever with very little to fear. its a ridiculously simple game.
Wyatt Morales
its all about staying back, wait for the stars to algin (the two seperating) and capitalizing on it with max damage. forget shields or you'll just get stamina broken and wombo combo'd. use quelaags furysword and grass crest shield on your back.
Dominic Allen
Good for you. I platinumed it despite hating the games because you aren’t allowed to criticize until you achieved “insert goalpost” because you must be a casual subhuman if you can’t. The entirety of this games and the subsequent games marketing was based on guilt, it uses the same mechanism society might use against a lazy bum to get a job, except when a bum gets a job they contribute to society and get paid for it. Here you contribute nothing to society and have to pay for it. “Why would I pay to have the stress and boredom of essentially a second job?” I might ask “Because if you don’t your a filthy casual” is the general response of From bootlickers. You have to hand to them, their advertising is brilliant, it takes perfect advantage of the “mlg pro leet” mentality that already existed in multiplayer games.
Austin Allen
use the pillars
Joshua Hughes
The next parts aren't necessarily more gruelling, just different. Approach them a different way.
Cameron Peterson
Use the blade quelaag drops and throw lightning spears
Charles Sanchez
Same energy as “scary movies are just for proving you aren’t scared because nobody could actually enjoy it”
Ethan Gonzalez
That's true but then it is just cool to see what's next. The design is so cool and fun in itself. It's always a surprise.
Hudson Wood
Use the pillars to separate them, if you a a sorceror you can use them as cover as often you can hit them but they can't hit you.
Aiden Bennett
Most of them are yes, as they’re shit quality b-movies with terrible acting for children and women exclusively. They’re actually more about scaring others though, similar to how edgelords like lars von trier makes edgy movies to get reaction and feel like he has power over the viewer, horrorniggers show edgy movies to their friends so they can gloat about how epicly desensitized they are. I bet you think rage games are the peak of the medium you flaming faggot
