Find your breaking point...over and over again
When I was 7, my grandmother bought an NES to keep me entertained whenever we visited. I had one of my own at home, but she bought bizarre, difficult, and confidence-shattering games the likes of which I'd never seen before. I remember popping in Castlevania II and immediately feeling lost, as if the game was designed to punish me for not holding some sort of impossible-to-ascertain bit of knowledge. I'd yell at the TV, throw controllers after falling through a DIFFERENT floor tile for the hundredth time, and stomp off to play outside after reaching my limit of being unable to summon a tornado or make a jump. Armed with magazine snippets and playground tips, I'd return to the game with each visit and progress a little farther. The weekend that I beat the game felt like as legitimate an accomplishment as I could find in gaming. Dark Souls is such a game. DS is as challenging as it is rewarding - every success and every failure comes as a result of your efforts, patience, and networking with other gamers to discover secrets or massage the games stats, animations, and design to your needs. You'll die, a lot. You'll make mistakes, a lot. You'll likely swear, dependent upon self-control. But when you beat a boss, reach an item or weapon, defeat a level, or even *gasp* beat the game, you'll feel a true sense of victory.

Huge game, difficult but satisfying, minor flaws
Dark Souls provides a deep, extremely challenging, yet highly satisfying experience for players with a penchant for deep exploration and ponderous, precise combat. Environments are vastly scaled, sometimes haunting and foreboding, but always beautiful. Atmosphere is sometimes chilling and muted, but fits perfectly with the oftentimes dark backdrop and lore. The game can get lag at certain areas of the and camera can cause issues when closing in on enemies, especially against larger foes that can kill you in one or two hits - times when you absolutely DON'T want the camera spazzing out on you. Extreme challenge can be a turn off point for some. Some longtime players can be a nuisance to newer players, so first timers might want to consider playing offline.

Dark souls ps3
The greater the challenge, the greater the reward, and this game is the most challenging game I've played. Very fun gameplay and difficult boss fights make this game a must-have for serious gamers.
