Well I played enough on my pirated version to get an opinion of this game and I have to say I really started to enjoy it, will definitely be buying this on pay day.
I wasn't sure if I'd like this game and when I first loaded it up on my PC I felt quite lost in all the numbers and other shit the game bombards you with but once I got the hang of the basics and started progressing in the game I really enjoyed myself. For someone that has never played a Souls game it has been challenging me at some points and of course has also made me rage a little, like when a shitty little hollow sneaked up on me as I was fighting, hit me and knocked me off the ledge
. I still haven't fully got the controls down 100% because I am using K&M and the game telling me to push certain xbox controlller buttons to do different moves means absolutely nothing to me, because I don't know what those buttons transfer to on the PC and the keybind menu doesn't really tell you all the extras, so I've generally just been picking it up as I went along.
