My Ill-Fated Introduction To Dark Souls
For weeks, I've heard several Dark Souls fans excitedly discuss the notoriously-difficult RPG. From everything I heard, I assumed I'd hate the game. I'm a fan of fast-paced, constant-action games like Devil May Cry and God of War, and the strategy and unrelenting difficulty of Dark Souls sounded like something I wouldn't enjoy. At some point yesterday, I finally cracked and gave the game a shot. I grabbed Dark Souls fan Andrew Reiner as my guide, and we recorded this video of my first experience with the game.
Things start out fairly smooth, but I make a horrible mistake halfway through that results in several deaths. Will my prediction of hating the game prove correct, or will I have a change of heart after playing it? Watch below to find out.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
