This game makes my PC dive to the temperatures of hell

too many "funny difficulty" features and the jankiest feeling souls experience including dark souls 1.
i don't wanna "git gud" at a game that doesn't feel fun or interesting to play in the first place

I initially played this at the start of 2021 "through means other than Steam," but after seeing this game finally go on sale and after 2 years later of playing other souls games, I decided to buy this and revisit it.

Although sometimes quite jank in feel and gameplay, the first installment of the Dark Souls series holds up in other regards, such as atmosphere, its use of music, voice acting, exploration and overall worldbuilding.

Most of the story is either shown visually, implied or simply written in the description of an item you pick up. Like the world, the game asks you to seek things out off of your own curiosity, should you have any.

The pacing of player combat is quite slow, but hardly will you ever feel outpaced by enemies, even when using a colossal weapon.

It's difficult, but fair and encouraging, as well as rewarding, to learn.

Dark Souls to me is not a masterpiece however - some bosses are either buggy or downright tedious, but thankfully I can only really think of two great offenders of this throughout the whole game (Bed of Chaos, Ceaseless Discharge).

I can't speak for PvP, as I have no interest in it in this game nor do I intend on trying it.

If you're willing to get over the somewhat-dated graphics and elementary combat, but interested in the world this game offers, give this a go.

this game releases battle passes and seasonal content you don't have to pay for - an unheard concept in modern gaming

Not a big fan of the DLC being 120NZD

11/12/24 Edit: lmao this game and its company need to crash and burn, it truly is only a matter of time

14/11/24 Edit: This game has lost its identity and needs the video game equivalent of therapy - Payday 3 and its lukewarm stream of updates feels like a constant performance of smoke and mirrors. I hardly agree with the sentiment of "let them cook," when this game supposedly began development in 2016 and came out as an absolute excuse of a game.

23/08/24 Edit: Do NOT get it twisted - this game is NOT worth your money, do NOT listen to the "we are so back" propaganda, this game has served 'nothing burgers' for the past 10 months

This game is not worth either your time or money, and it probably won't be until a year or two passes

The "live service" revolution and its consequences

As it currently stands, this game has taken half a step forward while also walking a marathon backwards.

I will probably keep playing this, but I definitely can't recommend others this game unless you have an itch for a semblance of what Payday 2's gameplay loop was, like myself. It's different - good in some ways, extremely terrible in other ways.

If unsure, definitely consider buying this game when it's on a significant sale, and also check if the servers are up.

3/11/23 Edit: Actually just go play Payday 2 lmao, it took over a month to release a "Day 1 hotfix" patch. I hope this game gets significantly better, but I am not expecting it to.

13/12/23 Edit: The 'Syntax Error' DLC bundle is 30NZD - just under half the price of the base game (67NZD). This has to be some sort of joke...

14/01/24 Edit: For a live service, this game is quite dead

24/02/24 Edit: It's so over man

Game's like alcohol - It's way more enjoyable if you partake in it with moderation and a strong mindset

it's like pubg but you can get one shot by someone 15 levels ahead of you and it's also not fair nor fun
