You'll try. You won't know what's going on. You'll think dying is bad. Your friends will explain things to you, using words like, "Estus shard" and "Praise the sun" and it won't make sense. You'll give up after dying repeatedly on the tutorial boss only to finally kill it and then die to a dog that scares you into falling off of a cliff.

Three months later, your friends will convince you to play again. You try it out, only to fail yet again. This time though, you understand that's part of the process, just as your friends had reassured you. You'll roll. You'll roll again, then again. You've done it! The dog that once scared you into jumping off a cliff is dead and you've miraculously taken no damage. Renewed vigor fills you and you continue on. This time you ignore your friends, resorting to the wiki to answer your questions and your own curiosity to guide you to treasure. Suddenly things begin to make sense. You go to bed.

You wake up with this incessent urge to play again, oddly intrigued by the story even though you're "not that type of gamer". "Why do I enjoy this?" You'll ask yourself. Soon, you're rolling in real life, to dodge your responsibilities solely to play this game.

Didn't think it'd happen to me. It did. Buy it while it's on sale so the first three months of you not really playing it don't feel like, "Such a waste of money." It's not a waste, even at full price. Amazing game and story. So damned confusing at first but it's worth it. I promise you.
