Has anyone played Dark Souls?

Oct 24, 2011 12:56 AM

I've decided it's about time to purchase a new game for my Xbox. While poking around online, I found out about the new Dark Souls game. I know basically nothing about this game and haven't played the prequel. Have any of my fellow wooters played this? What are your opinions on the game? Is it worth $55 to $60?

A little about myself as a gamer: I like games with lots of content (30+ hours of gameplay), I love difficult games (Bayonetta, Vanquish, etc.), I play FPS & 3rd person games left-handed ("southpaw" controls) and those that don't accommodate that setup are a no-go, and last but not least I don't like spending lots of extra cash on DLC.

Is this the rogue-like super hard game?

Without blitzing through it, I have spent 70+ hours on it already. I have spent several hours leveling up and upgrading my weapons. It is nice having someone from the online community drop by to help out with the boss fights but you can also be invaded by the online community that will try to kill you so that they can boost their stats. My younger brother likes it but likes Demon's Souls way better.

Yea, I've played it, and it's a fun, time consuming game. It's the kind of game that requires playing it a lot to learn attack patterns and enemy positions, and rewards you for that. Meaning, it's possible for someone who doesn't know what they're doing to get killed by intro level enemies with a pretty strong character, but also possible for an experienced player to take out enemies much stronger than he. Essentially, it rewards skill and tactics and makes it virtually impossible to button mash. I'm still a bigger fan of demon's souls for some reason, but this game is really much of the same, which is a good thing. Takes getting used to, and you'd better like dying a lot, and often times losing progress in the meantime. However, you won't often keep making the same mistake.

I'd recommend playing a couple minutes of demon's souls on a friends ps3 beforehand, as there is no real way to make the controls TRULY lefty. Your left hand weapon is the only one that can guard, and your right hand one is the only one that you can double hand.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
