Praise the sun

Bed of Chaos

I'm not sure there was a game more recommended to me than Dark Souls. It's not for me. Everyone I know who plays said they loved it. However, once I started playing it, they all described it a little differently to me. I think it's a slog, with less than responsive gameplay. There's something about the world that just gets more brutal, warped and ugly as you move through it. It's hard to a point that gets annoying more than challenging. Maybe I'm missing something, but the story is very minimal and definitely doesn't do enough to engage me. It's not a game I want to spend a lot of time playing and that eventually led me to just quit on it. I got down to Blighttown after about 40 hours, shrugged my shoulders, and turned it off.
