Ok, first of all, stay away from strategy guides, and/or Googling anything about how to play or beat this game. Just go into the game blind. It will be the most engaging video game experience you've ever had. You are dropped into a huge world with very little guidance as to what you need to do. But you will learn the do's and don'ts of the game very quickly, without setting yourself back too far. But, I can't wait to see the additions in this edition of the game, as well as the online features they have added. I've already purchased the game on Xbox and will be buying the PC version in hopes that the lag problems on the Xbox version, in a certain portion area of the game, have been resolved, as well as I know my computer should have no issues running that certain portion of the game. Regardless of the graphical issues, on the Xbox version at least, with the original version on PS3 and Xbox 360 you should prepare to die, over and over again. I would not recommend this game for younger gamers for the mere fact that, unless they are a prodigy child, they will hate this game from the lack of directions, and from the very subtle hints of direction you need to take. You have to pay attention to the story and what they NPCs are saying or else you will never (or have a really difficult time) figure out how to beat this game, unless you buy the strategy guide, which again will take away from the experience of Dark Souls. 10/10 I am definitely buying this game again for the PC.
Very enjoyable if you have a gamepad not so much if you try to play with your keyboard

Dark souls is a game that can be played by anyone, and can be beat by anyone. But, only the strong will be able to endure it. #GITGUD #thelegendneverdies Don't go hollow my friends c;

Great but one problem

The game is amazing and I loved it on PS3 so i got it for PC. I was disappointed at it a little though. When i start the game its set for 360 controls not keyboard and mouse, though this can be a problem, it isn't that hard to get a controller for yourself should this happen. There are 3 reviews that give this a 1 outta 10 cause they are sour about needing a controller. Though i can completely understand because you bought it for PC, it's still not the end of the world and doesn't deserve a 1 outta 10 cause you gotta use a controller "Oh No". Even on PC you'll run into a problem were you need a controller or a bad port here and there.
