This is the very first official Dark souls game I've ever played, and I hated it :D.
No matter how much I tried, I managed to beat the second boss of the game, the Pursuer.
I was pretty much bashing my head against the wall screaming profanities' and pained screamed at my cousins house while they Lmao'ing at said pain.
I remember the release and joy I managed to slay the very boss that was gate keeping me from the rest of the game... Only the it to introduced me to multiple bosses in a single room in the Lost Bastille.
I gave up for a total of 4 years before I had a friend that taught me the ropes in the SOTFS version of the game, and I managed to succeed overcoming such a bum penetrating train track of a game.
Although I played the updated version of the game. It would be a new experience for me to try out the OG DS2 and say I officially purchased a DRM free of the game.
