Breath of the Wild master mode with hard mode (that option that turn off the map, the temperature and noise meter) is also very hard.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is the Dark Souls of the platforming genre.

Me for the most part outside an Xbox 360 and a crappy laptop.
Not because i dont like Non Nintendo games (id love to play alot of other games) but mostly because finances and how costly videogames are in my country only allow me to get one console and Nintendo is my favourite developer so...the choice is made there.
Still id like to try DaS one day, i still don't get how its zelda-like at all outside the battle system playinh like a bit like zelda but it seems interesting to play lol
Ninja Gaiden is like 10x harder than any Souls game, you'll be fine.
This remaster will have the password system of the newer games, so you can choose your friends only.
Time to speed through the game at lvl 1-10 and hunt me...um I mean welcome some newcomers to Lordran! ;)
Savour the Undead Burg people! You'll only get a fresh look at this great introductory level once.

Well, I am a Nintendo only player and the trailer did not show anything.
So I do not even know how this game is. And if this game is "M" rating, so it is a no buy for me.

Well let's see if they fixed the apparent jankiness of the game before. The collision detection always seemed a bit crappy.
The game also looks very slow and not fun to control, your character moves like a tank compared to most Nintendo games.
Not sure I have the patience for punishing games and restarts.

So, is it a violent game? I probably will not buy then, but I want to see some videos to know how this game plays.
The better way to get into the game is completely blind. As much as I appreciate the thread (lovely work by Neiteio, as usual), I'd recommend the opposite aproach: don't watch, read or look for anything related with Dark Souls. If this is your first time and you're interested, avoid any topic until May, and enjoy then every little surprise it has to offer.
Sure, it's violent, in terms of it being a medieval style combat experience. It's not against humans though, it's all monsters.
It's not gory though. It's certainly very oppressive in its atmosphere.
Lots of people into games also have a low income.
Lots of people with income are time poor and so it may make sense to them to focus on one platform.
Well, this is the normal behavior. But in forums like this, it could be seen as strange for some.
I never understood the "need" to have a lot of systems. I only play in Nintendo systems and do not see this as a problem, at all.
Such as?
There are hallows, there are phantoms, there are Gods. There are humans you can choose to kill. I can't think of any humans you have to fight in DkS1.
It's an old game, so there's a gazillion videos on YouTube if you want to see it in action.
I might mix up bosses and characters you can fight between all the souls games, but there's definitely some :b
So which game is more challenging? Dark Souls or Darkest Dungeon? I know they are different genres but both are known for being extremely difficult. Not sure I want to buy two games that will tempt me to throw the system. Lol.
22. If you see weird frog-like creatures, get the fuck away.Here's a spoiler free beginner's guide for the new players
21. Don't kill NPCs (unless you know what you're doing)
23. If you're poisoned or Toxic, you may as well run off a cliff, you're dead anyway.
I tried Demon's Souls once and got pissed off to the point i wasnt enjoying myself. I may try this if I can get it on sale.
Darkest Dungeon is much harder to beat, but it's turn based so patience is more rewarded than in DS (where it still counts!)
Give it to me, From Soft / Nintendo. Let us dress up in Nintendo character armour.
I have several friends who are going to get into Dark Souls for the first time via the Switch port so I'm excited to hear their opinions and help them if they need it.
There's this thing called 'time', you may have heard of it. People don't dedicate 24 hours of their day to just playing games so sometimes one system is enough.
Besides, Nintendo only gamers have often been two console gamers - the Nintendo home console and the Nintendo handheld console.
I even have a backlog on the Wii U of all things.
Nintendo already has the right version of Link for this game. The undead Hero's Shade from TP.
The Link from OoT, child timeline, post Majora's Mask died never having passed on his skills and is a tormented Stalfos

Played DS on the PlayStation 3 and I highly recommend to Nintendo players to play this amazing game, they won't regreet it.
Curse stacked...
CURSE STACKED!
C U R S E S T A C K E D
The horror...
I always have been 1 console only. More consoles = more money spent, and I ain't rich. Missed some good games for sure but it's not like I have this need to play every good game released (I have no backlogs too).
Honestly, a visit to Termina would make more sense.

User was warned for this post: Console wars rhetoric
I'm more excited about Nintendo-only gamers being introduced to third party games(more in line with other consoles) in general so they'll finally understand what they lost all these years and maybe realize that Nintendo isn't the only one making good games.
I don't have a ton of time either, yet I have each major console at the moment.
Chalk it up to money, then.
The money matters, for sure, but for me it's more that it's just irritating having multiple systems.
There's always at least one game where I feel I really 'need' to play. I bought a Wii U for Bayonetta 2. That's really stupid. It's a good game, like a 7ish, but buying a platform for that is just moronic. I bought a XBOS for Scalebound! I can't even begin to explain my stupidity in regards to pointless spending in regards to gaming.
Right now, I only have a PS4, but I'll get a Switch this year, but I really shouldn't bother. I only really want Zelda, and I could just play the WiiU version on CEMU.
I am by no means a Nintendo-only gamer (PS1-4, PSP, Vita, Xbox 360) but I definitely prefer Nintendo games or at least Nintendo consoles. I also prefer handhelds/undocked mode over playing in front of a TV, even with the WiiU.
The Souls games never appealed to me, just by the look of it. But with all the praise and the upcoming Switch version I will definitely give it a try. I already had a lot of fun with DOOM, another game I never cared about until it was available for a Nintendo console.

Gee guv'nor, I sure wish I had the riches like you to be buying more console than I have time to play. Shame I have ta spend 23 hours sweeping chimneys for only a tuppence a day.
I would say that if you love Zelda, but felt Breath of the Wild wasn't the direction you wanted the series to go in, try Dark Souls. It's everything I ever wanted from a fantasy action adventure. Just a phenomenal game and a beautiful world to visit.
I am Nintendo fan and If someone asked me whats single 3rd party game that you want most to see on Switch, answer would easily be Dark Souls.
I am so happy because Darks Souls is coming on Nintendo platform, especially because full handheld mode in Switch, I will definitely buy every single Dark Souls game that might come on Switch.
Also talking about Nintendo fans that didnt played before Dark Souls, before I played Dark Souls for me best IP was easily Legend of Zelda, but after I played Dark Souls, DS very fast become for me best IP along side Zelda.
So, if you love Zelda you will probably like Dark Souls also. :)
