Dark souls 1 was fantastic, absolutely fantastic, new, fresh, TACTICAL! you had to fight and think every move, come prepared, be careful, you struggled with items, health, finding,making a new weapon, every corner had something to surprise you,you struggled, but once you made some ground you were proud as you knew that you needed to use your brains to make it possible. couldn't just rush in and bam, use power, force, strength and defeat your enemy, win. I hate that all games now are dumbed down and SIMPLIFIED just to appeal to masses! to sell more copies, just because players are LAZY! to invest time, sit, think, play, struggle a bit use the head a bit, moment it doesn't go well, go get cheats, no cheats, find a guide, no guide, throw the game, bash it, get a new game...
I was so exited for dark souls 2...Man, day 1 disappointment, had absolutely nothing to do with Demon souls or Dark souls 1, the most upsetting part were the paid reviews from big gaming websites, all bandwagoning on the fame of the games predecessors. Fans weren't better neither, blind followers, sheep beee beee! just saying one the same thing, and then few months later does same one finally started eating their own sh!t, and developers tried at the end of the game to make a new system, to make it hard, balanced, blah blah, i couldn't have been bothered, its a shadow of its predecessors, just a hit and slash game without any tactics. 3rd part seems to be same thing again as 2nd part, you can just get in and beat the crap out of your opponent, get tough, strong and fast from the start and just circle around your enemy and beat em up, oh and it seems like a new part is coming almost every year, here comes the saga like Assassins creed 157....
