I've played MOST of 3.

Just didn't like it all that much.

I never got to play the original, can't find it anywhere for the Xbox and my laptop cant run it........... even though I can run the sequel.

The game is now free with gold on the Xbox. That's how I first got into the series.

And my god, the stupid phantom hitboxes and/or bad character models is enough to drive anyone insane.
And the stun locking, oh the stun locking. I realise I'm almost troll baiting here. But.

That game was bad, it wasn't hard, it was just bad. So so bad.
The difficulty, it was famed for, was artificial like civ 5's difficulty.

It gave you a one on one duelling system to fight hordes of enemies, that included with the aforementioned is the only reason it was remotely challenging. That game really disappointed me.

For as much as I like the games, I will admit that the challenge in the sequel often felt cheap compared to the original. Also, they destroyed the poise mechanic (which worked to prevent stunlocking in the first game) for reasons unknown. Personally, I don't think it was a disaster, but they did take steps in the wrong direction in some areas.

Your saying I can turn on my xbox and download darksouls 1 now ?

Is it on games for gold or WAS it on games for gold ?
