Edit: Ok, So I've now played through this game, the flawed masterpiece sequel and now AMAZING 3rd game. I came to realise how fun it could be, dark souls is always hardest when your character is new, there is a sweet spot you hit normally some time after the 2nd boss where you get a feel for what you can manage.

So yes, I've been converted, this game is great, challenging as hell, I still find the PvP no fun but the PvE is enough to save it
