Thumbs up

Finally clocked it as well, some kind of ending would have been nice after all the work but not to be.

Most of the bosses werent too bad. We we stuck on the first Taurus Demon, and Ormstein and Smough the most and that was down to bad approaches.

Loved the vertical nature of some of the levels - firelink shrine, refreshing after playing more flat terrain games e.g fallout, borderlands. There was a lot of imagination in the levels (Huuge Anor Londo, The tree level at the base of blight etc).

Hated the pvp phantoms invading every second minute when not hollow, given we were just playing the game not set up to take them on, there were some pros who would just obliterate us which sucked, eventually took great pleasure in waiting until they came into view and pulling the net connect.

Didn't get the same sense of other players running around as in demon souls. I used to love reading tips and seeing how people died in that, really helped give a sense that there was danger at every turn but Dark was more run round and fight, due to the more open nature.

Still a great game though, well worth picking up along with Demon Souls (PS3)
