I don’t know why I never got it on the PS3 lol since I got Demon’s Souls, but playing Dark Souls on the pc with DSfix and a ps2 controller was so fun and I had a blast playing it for over a month straight.

    It took many months to get through dark souls 1 eventually 2, and 3 It's funny out of all of them I beat DS2 still working on 1 and 3 For 3 it was the starting boss had me stuck for a while. Dark Souls 2 to me is easier to beat the bosses. Definitely keeps you on your guard when it's comes to traps, and ambushes. Not to mention the chests that will eat you if your unaware of the secret chest traps. However, npc dark spirits in 2 and 3 to me are much of a challenge but overall it's enjoyable need to play demon souls and Elden Ring and other dark soul like games.

      Yeah, do we help push also add an arcana pairing for you know, don't get mad the magical murderer I didn't mean to call you guys murderer assassin. But arkana implies an insight surrounding mystical things. Which means you're no weak points and things. So there'd be a side of it if the wizard just wanted to take up swords because that's what they had. Oh, they invested our Connor. And then you pair that with the bonus from the assassin. So they get double or econombonuses plus the back strike. Or the precluded angle, whatever you want to call. It has to do with how the programming engine sees the dodging happen. What, you mean cheese Royale? Would be easier because you know, CS toe CS needs you to back of his arrest. It'll just keep jumping there and stabbing at the end, you'll kill him real fast. Especially if you're using this sword. You gotta get there and you're die going to that place, but you gotta get there.
