I love hate this game already.

Tutorial is over and I can't kill anything.

Got the last copy available..installing onto the 360 HD now..Im stoked! Will take you advice and proceed slowly through the game. The graphics in the video review looked amazing, maybe not in terms of Hi Res, but just the creativity of the monsters and the whole vibe of the surroundings.

I feel like such an idiot for trying to fight the tutorial boss with the broken sword it gave me to start.

Other than that I've died only twice so far. One of which was against a boss in the Burg that I was about 2-3 hits from killing.

Not that hard so far.

Well after over an hour of trying to kill the tutorial boss and dying over and over again, I searched the internet for any tips, and now realize I'm not supposed to fight him?

Unbelievable lol

Combat is tricky..the guys you fight after the Eagle are a good tutorial, but I think I just have to hold my pathetic little shield up a lot. Not sure what else to do but move and parry right now. Yes I am bad.

This game is hard. Not sure how long I will make it.

Many people are in the same boat. Those Skeletons from the first main area own me...and I hate those fire bombing *************

I think the IGN review said this is a game of inches and it is true. When I made my way from the first "real" bonfire and finally found my second one I felt like it was an accomplishment. When I tricked a high level enemy into following me so I could run around a shortcut and get the treasure he was guarding it felt GREAT! Also found some kind of a magic sword somewhere and that is awesome. I hate HATE losing my souls, especially if it's in a place surrounded by enemies...however thank god I don't lose my loot. I made a run for some loot and died right away from the large thing guarding it...but having the treasure made it worth it.

I also really like the idea of the bonfire and what it means to use it. Your health is full, your health pack canteen is full, but enemies respawn, nice! I am not as skilled as some of you above. I swear I have died at least 50 times today...10 of which were me trying to make a jump I thought for sure I could make.

Ha! Good point.. well I'm hoping not as many people are as dumb as I am thinking I can kill the guy with a broken sword anyway..lol

Game is lots of fun so far.. even though I die every 15 mins. The game just sucks you in with the doom and gloom atmosphere. I have a 50" plasma with a good Denon surround sound setup and the visuals and audio of this game are top notch. Hard to stop playing

I spent a good 2 hours trying to run past those skeletons and the spectres. Before I realized there was a 3rd path with things I could actually kill.

Anyone playing the Thief class? If so how are the mechanics?

I am a Thief and basically your just a melee warrior based in speed rather then strength.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Im a wanderer I think it's called. I can't kill the ghosts, skeletons, or boss that attacks me in the castle. I sure as heck cant kill the guardian overseeing the treasure right before that part either. So I may be stuck for a bit here.

What a game though..played for 4 hours...lol
How do people leave you notes? I want to do that.
