Dark souls was revolutionary to the gaming industry. It brought together every aspect that is needed to make an amazing game. If you haven't given this game series a shot then here are five reasons why you are making a huge mistake..
Game-Play
The gameplay difficulty of Dark Souls is different from any other game I have ever played. Throughout my time going through the game, I died hundreds of time. Luckily when you die the game gives you the opportunity to start from your last save spot and if you are able to make it back to where you died you can recover the souls you lost when you died. Souls are what you receive when you kill something and they are used to level up and buy items.
After staying up half the night, dying and restarting, and losing your souls you will finally reach your goal and it will feel more fulfilling than any other game you have played.
How many games have you played where some of the most challenging monsters aren’t even bosses? If you don’t play carefully then you won’t even make it to the bosses because you will be too busy dying by the hands of the monsters between you and the boss. Sometimes you will probably try running past the monsters because you just want to get to the boss…. Don’t, you are just going to die.
In Dark Souls, you WILL die. You might think “well I’m sure I won’t die, this guy probably just isn’t very good”. No. YOU WILL DIE….. a lot. There is no way around it, it’s just part of the game. Sometimes you will find yourself pulling your hair out, yelling at the TV, and accusing it of cheating. You might even tell yourself you are just giving up and say “screw this game”, but we both know you are lying. After staying up half the night, dying and restarting, and losing your souls you will finally reach your goal and it will feel more fulfilling than any other game you have played.

Player Vs Player
Dark Souls PvP is beyond awesome. In order to enter PvP, you need specific items. You can join different groups throughout the game to receive different items that will help you PvP in different ways. For example, the Red Eye Orb, which you acquire my joining a group called the “Dark Wraiths”. You can also find cracked Red Eye Orbs throughout the game that will allow you to PvP.
When you PvP you can either invade a world or be invaded. If you invade another player you can only invade people’s worlds who are a higher level than you and when you get invaded they are a lower level than you. Another option for PvP is summoning. To summon someone they have to lay down a “summon sign” and it has to show up in your world.

There are numerous ways to go upon PvPing in Dark Souls none of which are disappointing.
When PvPing on Dark Souls you can end up in a fight with more than one player at a time. It also gets very competitive. Often you will find yourself in a “fight club”. This is when a user in his/her home world summons people using summon signs and/or gets invaded and has multiple other users in his world at the same time. The users then take turns fighting each other. There are numerous ways to go upon PvPing in Dark Souls none of which are disappointing.
