Dark souls prepare to die edition

Dark souls is perhaps one of the most difficult games I have ever played, even though it's insanely difficult the game never really goes beyond the point of "oh that was obviously my fault for the bad tactics I used" which is great because every death (and there are plenty) feels like it was your fault not the game being unfair.

Dark souls is set in a fantasy medieval/renaissance type world filled with undead soldiers, towering beasts, and a guy who praises the sun. You start out by seeing your character as a sentient undead being (called hollows) who has to fight his/her way through an undead asylum and break free into the rest of the world. After doing so you meet a very undesirable npc who tells you how to get turned back into an alive human being and what do first on your adventure.

The gameplay is fluid and really fun IF your playing on console or have an xbox controller you can use on your pc otherwise the game is a mess if you try playing with a keyboard due to poorly mapped controls. An interesting feauture of the game is when you get your humanity back (become an alive human) players can either be summoned into your world or invade it. If summoned the other player helps you in your quest and is rewarded with gear or souls (the currency and way you level up is through using souls collected from enemies you kill) and if they invade your world they find there way to you and you are forced to duel with them until either you or they die.

the game isn't the greatest visually but that is fixed by a semi active modding community on the pc which has released mods that completely re-texture the game making it look far more beautiful and immersive  than before.

I give dark souls an 8/10 it's definitely worth buying and will provide 100's of hours worth of gameplay (no joke this game is huge)
