The combat sy...I'm absolutely loving this game. The combat system is the best I've seen. Relying on timing, positioning and opponent "tells" instead of needing muscle memory for complex moves is my cup of tea. I really like the art style and the level design too - standing on the top of the towers in the Undead Burg and looking around, seeing all these places that you know, is just really cool.<br /><br />The game is definitely not for everyone, though - if you don't have Zen-like levels of patience you will most likely get frustrated and give up quickly. It was interesting on how much you as a player "level up" though - trying a new character, areas that were challenging on my first time there were easy the second time round.<br /><br />I beat the Gaping Dragon last night - next up I'm back to the Asylum and then on to Blight Town.<br /><br />I agree that some (but not all) of the bosses are going to be rough by yourself. I think I died 3 times on the Capra demon then got some help, killed it first time that way.<br /><br />The only trouble I have with the game so far is that it is so intense for me that I can't go to sleep afterwards unless I do something else first.<br /><br />Which type of character are you playing?Clamatiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388689495044350488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-33664964205591519492011-11-04T12:57:14.763-07:002011-11-04T12:57:14.763-07:00Would like to play.
