I picked this game up after a few conversations with friends, mostly in passing. I was idly aware of the interesting multiplayer setup but I am guilty of assuming that the game was a bit of a hack/slash-fest without any actual depth... how wrong I was!
I'm /really/ enjoying this game so far, and I've barely even scratched the surface! I'm trying my hardest to avoid spoilering this game for myself (so THANK YOU to everyone who's been kind enough to put spoiler comments within spoiler tags!
Though I have caught some snippets of later game story, it's been just enough to let me know just how much interesting story there is, without actually spoiling the surprise for me or specifically telling me how to accomplish certain things. Though, as I get more of an idea of just how much game there is to this, I'm starting to wonder if I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew, starting a let's play of it, lol.
I thought it'd be amusing for some to see me playing through this blind (well save for the tutorial area and first hour or two in Undead Burg.) but I've already received a few comments from some people regarding misconceptions I had about the game-play, such as the way your shield gets knocked back being due to stamina drain, and not (as I'd assumed) due to low poise.
So, with all that said, and given that there's obviously a few tricks I've missed (or just misunderstood) I thought I'd post the link to my
Dark Souls playlist here, and invite any other comments and hopefully entertain some people while I'm at it
