So I got my Redbox promo code today and applied it toward renting Dark Souls for the day (until 9 p.m. Central tomorrow). I made it to the first boss and I already had to look up a solution online. -_-
I'm all for "difficult but rewarding," but this seems a tad silly. Yes, I now know you can skip the first boss, but that wasn't abundantly clear playing through on my own. Maybe I was in a rush, maybe I assume too much, or maybe playing too many twitch FPS games has skewed my "fight or flight" response too heavily toward "fight."
Either way, it's not the best first impression, but I've got another day to play it, so we'll see how it goes.
