Did anyone else get this game? If so, what do you think of it?

I hate it compared to Demon's souls. They ruined the PvP, you might as well drop your great new weapon on the ground and then start spamming those miracle force spells, whatever they're called, or spam pyromancy, or some other kind of magic. Not only that, but the bugs are KILLING me constantly (rolling 5 seconds after I pressed the roll button, randomly falling off a ledge when I'm clearly in the middle of a walkway, etc.)

Anyone else have these same annoyances with this game?

Never played Demon Souls but i got Dark Souls and i've loved it thus far. Can be somewhat irritating at points but truly it's quite easy so long as you know what to do which makes going through the same place again and again (which sometimes you do..... Especially if you're stupid like me and don't drop the ladder or something) bearable.

Don't use the interwebz for too much help though, there are some opportunities to make yourself uber 1337 early in the game which is kind of annoying, unless you like to not have a challenge.

My advice is get it, cause it's an awesome game, and don't use a guide of any sort unless you're tearing your hair out. I ruined a portion of the game for myself by using guides..... Roll sad day.

Also, don't accidentally hit the merchant.

I already have the game, and the main reason I wanted it was so that I could have PvP like what was in Demon's souls.

Unfortunately, for reasons listed, they completely ruined it. Apparently most of the other PvP fans of demons souls agree with this.

Not only that, but instead of "not wanting to make it stupid hard", they managed to do exactly the opposite of what they say, and make it "stupid hard" after you get past Anor Londo.

Tomb of the Giants?

Filled with giant skeletons on narrow ledges that you have to cross who can pretty much 1-hit you sometimes, especially if more than 1 attack you at once. Did I mention this is in the pitch black, so you can only see maybe a foot in front of your face while you have a sword and shield out? ********.

Demon Ruins? Not so bad, but still filled with old bosses who, if more than 1 attack you, you are royally screwed. Not to mention those stupid giant bugs that automatically 1 hit you if you get close enough to use a sword. But then you get to the Lost Izalith...

******* 20 giant demons wandering around in a giant lake of lava that typically 1 or 2 hit you, and dead. It. Sucks.

New Londo isn't so bad, but the boss is a pain in the ass.

Duke's Archive... **** all, projectiles coming at you from 5 different directions with guys that can 1 or 2 hit you, again, while you have very little room to maneuver.

I got sick of it fairly quickly. Demons souls was hard. Ok, form a strategy, try again, maybe fail or succeed, then try again and eventually succeed. Dark Souls = throw your controller at the screen because of all the things listed above ADDED TO the terrible bugs that completely break the game. Waste of 60$ in my opinion...
