in the past


Alright, so after replaying this game again recently, I can honestly say that I enjoyed it a lot more this time around, then again, I actually knew where everything was this time around and was able to plan things out a bit better this time around, as well.
Manus was a pain in the ass for me the first time I played, but was significantly easier for me to beat this time around, thanks to the pendant that I found that blocks his dark magic attacks, I did die once, but once I got back, I was able to dodge his attacks perfectly and get in attacks when I needed to, yes, I GOT GUD.
Last half of the game does fall short, but it doesn't ruin my experience at all, except for the Bed of Chaos, fuck that boss, I died once I killed it and had nothing, but anxiety when I went to get my souls back and trying not to die to the Titanite Demon that stands in the pathway, thankfully, I did retrieve my souls and didn't end up losing them.
I also killed Havel this time and got his armor, something that I didn't do the first time I played and that made things (the Four Kings) a bit easier for me.
As for my favorite boss, I think I'll have to go with Artorias, he's such a cool boss and is quite challenging, with Gwyn being my second favorite.
And this time, I went with the Dark Lord ending, since I already linked the fire the first time and honestly, I can see why people like that ending, it is really cool and unlike Dark Souls 3, you don't have to do anything tedious in order to get it.
But yeah, all in all, this game really is a masterpiece, flawed, but still a masterpiece.

I love the world, combat, and interconnected map, but this game really is only made for people who get a kick out of surpassing difficult things. I never feel any accomplishment for finishing a boss I struggled with to have any drive to push forward. The positives don't make up for frustration and I don't feel rewarded to want to chase that high.

Enchantingly atmospheric, mechanically rich, and addicting to no end. Dark Souls is more than the hardcore difficulty journalists will compare anything to; it's a remarkably beautiful and interesting world to get lost in and conquer, and a true modern masterpiece that will continue to stand the test of time. My biggest problem though would have to be how much your character moans when they get hit. Like, is getting stabbed multiple times in the chest supposed to be a huge turn-on for undead? Maybe that's the real reason to get good

Meu primeiro Souls zerado e já engatei direto na platina, Dark Souls 1 é simplesmente espetacular, apesar da movimentação mais travada e dos limites geracionais, ainda é totalmente jogável e excelente, todos os cenários são imersivos e muito bem pensados, o level design foi um dos melhores que já experienciei.

Nota: 9/10

Não recebe um 10 somente pelos problemas citados que em comparação aos Souls mais modernos, acabam ficando em mais evidência.


Many of times I have attempted to play Dark Souls and many of times I have failed. Dark Souls is a fun but very frustrating game. The enemies are cool the bosses are weird and the combat is difficult to master. Dark Souls is a great game to play if you have the patience and maybe some friends to help you out.

83/100

o dark souls que eu mais me diverti, eu gosto de entrar nele e fazer umas build random só pra se divertir

Currently getting 100% achievements

Some of my favorite level design ever, feels compact but intricate, good amount of collectables in the form of armor and weapons. Still need to play the dlc.

An amazing first half followed by some truly baffling areas in the second half. Many flaws, but easy to overlook them when the meat of the game is so good

o level design mais genial, até a segunda metade do jogo...

I'd give it 5 stars were it not for the half-assed 2nd half and the Bed of Chaos. Aside from that we all know this is a masterpiece.

Difícil, pero com a la vida mateixa, un gran garrot et posa les coses més fàcils suposo.

experiência imersiva da segunda-feira de um empregado clt. Não tenho capacidade de dissertar sobre como esse jogo é incrível e significa pra mim, só sei sentir....

melhores 60 reais de minha vida, jogue

The first half of the game is fantastic, but once you beat a particular boss, the game goes downhill with unfinished areas. But the DLC brought this game around at the end for me.

É muito satisfatório ficar mais forte nesse jogo. É isso que tenho a falar de gameplay.

Me lembra muito a filosofia budista essa temática de renascimento e morte; a impermanência de todas as coisas. Mas dá pra extrair muita coisa disso, até o eterno retorno do Nietzsche (falando em Nietzsche, a ideia de vazio, depressão, nilismo... parece, pra mim, que dark souls tem uma forte influência da filosofia do bigodudo).

Mas, a ideia central é: como você lida com a vida? Sabendo que é um ciclo eterno de dor e sofrimento, de que adianta se mover, fazer alguma coisa, de que adianta acender a chama se uma hora ela irá se apagar ou outra pessoa fará o sacrifício? E ai acho que entra principalmente o absurdismo de Camus, que conversa muito com a tragédia de Nietzsche. O caminho mais fácil e covarde é desistir, o mais difícil é o do homem trágico que joga um jogo sabendo que vai perder, mas que tenta ao máximo dificultar a vida de seu adversário.

Nice to go back to where it all began. It's quite rough around the edges (hello Izalith) and I genuinely expected to dislike my time with it. So more than anything, I'm chuffed that I look back on it with the fondness that I do.

I think the original Dark Souls holds up as an industry-changing classic. It doesn't have the polish that newer entries have, in my opinion, but what it does have is some fun fights, a cool world, and overall it's hard not to respect what it did for gaming.

I give Dark Souls: Remastered a 9!

Great experience, changed my life, but it really is an unpolished game.


Everything about this game is just immersive, interesting, and leaves you questioning it is truly a masterpiece, but I hate playing this and others in the series with every fiber of my being.

Como mi primer acercamiento a la saga souls fue muy buena experiencia
Al principio cuesta acostumbrarse a las mecánicas a tanta estadísticas de personajes, armas y demás pero en cuanto le pillas el rollo lo disfrutas muchísimo

first half is really good and i love the lore and the characters, the roll is weird and it's generally slower compared to other souls games, also the later areas feel half assed but in general terms its pretty good i guess
