I’m back at it, back in that nasty Dark Souls world, trying miserably to get through a game in a series that just keeps kicking my ass. The best experience I’ve had playing a Dark Souls game was the first one, with a friend sitting next to me and guiding me through what I should and shouldn’t be doing, cheering me on, and just being there for moral support. I didn’t play the second one, but as I’ve started playing the third one – with even the tutorial boss giving me a hard time – I sure could use that support again. But I haven’t given up yet, I’ll keep at it for a while and see what happens.
