LINK Looks like they are making it with the PC in mind too, I hope so because the PC port for DS1 sucked ass. I really want to play this game and own the first one but can't bring myself to learn the controller for the game. Play Witcher 2 on the hardest mode to prepare I guess.

I got it for PC and I thought the game just sucked... so it wasn't so bad on console?

Dude....not at all. I feel bad for all you PC guys that got fricked. My first time through DS on 360 was as great a gaming experience I've ever had. I've played through it so many times. Find more things with each playthrough. Try and get it for console if you get a chance it's amazing. That being said, I went full retard when DS2 was announced. I was like a little schoolgirl

Carson, you champion this game like no other. I think I might play this over the break to see what it's about.

From what I have read it sounds like DS is a game of learning button strokes to win, kind of like console cheat codes like U D LR1 R type of stuff.

It was legit on console... Such a fun game, but also incredibly frustrating. Dying in the game isn't a punishment it's a game mechanic really. You are going to die, accept it and move on

It's really simple. They expect you to die. Every time you die, you know what to block/dodge. You eventually learn all of that enemy's attacks (the game forcibly teaches you in a way) and you get really good. Just takes a few hours to get the feel down. It's very worth a play through to experience the amazing worlds and bosses Aristotle, good!

I have demon souls, haven't played it yet. It worth playing before I get dark souls or skip it?
