How To Make Ps3 Trophies?

What is up with Dark Souls PS3?

• Just got this game today and all I can say is, "what a f'n abomination"! I already knew before I bought it that it was extremely difficult and that you'll die hundreds of times, which is okay with me. I thought the trailer looked awesome, it had a damn near 10/10 rating by almost everyone, and has good graphics. First off, whats the deal with the character having a huge lower body and a tiny head? No matter what physique you choose he looks like a fat slob. Also, why does he sound like he's "busting a nut" every time he takes damage? The cameras auto rotation is garbage, along with the hit detection. You'll literally be facing an enemy and he swings in some random direction. Oh wait, you only have 2-3 swings before the stamina runs out. No difficulty option? No view preference? No anytime save option? For a game thats supposedly so huge you'd think there'd be a save option. Bonfire saving only is pretty lame. The graphics seem so outdated it might as well been released on ps2. Whats sad is Demons Souls was also on ps3 a couple years ago, you'd think this one would be flawless seeing as how Dark Souls only came out 6 months ago. Grass doesnt move by wind or walking through it, NPCs have no personality or movement whatsoever, character looks like a pansy, character customization was a fricking joke, and to top it off theres not even a f'n pause menu! Seriously, no pause?!? You get attacked while in your inventory, wow... Im so dissapointed with this game, I had high expectations for thanks to all the B.S. hype. I played Skyrim for 240 hours with 100% trophies collected and thought it was the most amazing game ive ever played. So why cant this game feed my need for another great adventure and hours of gameplay? Im only level 8 in Dark Souls and already feel like I cant even tolerate it anymore. Hell, even my girlfriend noticed the obvious flaws in this garbage. I expect angry responses, but thats okay. If you can make me feel different about the game then please do.

• Answer:

  Save anywhere? Pause button? DIFFICULTY SETTINGS? I think the problem is that you're too used to modern games that have these sorts of features. These things would make Dark Souls, a game that's, as you yourself admitted, intentionally difficult, easier. The game doesn't pause when you enter a menu partially to prevent you from switching equipment and mass-using healing items in the middle of a fight, and partially because of how multi-player is integrated into the single-player game. Letting you pause whenever wouldn't work because the game doesn't have a multi- or single-player mode, it just has one, and as you can understand, pausing a multiplayer game isn't fun for anyone who doesn't need to stop for a second. If you're having problems with your character flipping around when you try to attack, you need to understand that you are not locked into a direction for an attack, and can change directions mid-swing if you hold the analog stick in a different direction. You may have been doing this by accident. Your character looks like a pansy? They look like a *zombie* unless you're good enough at the game to stay alive and keep some humanity, which according to you, you're not. The main problem seems to be that you expected Dark Souls to be the same kind of Role-playing game as Skyrim. It's not, at all. Conversations with NPCs are kept to a minimum, backstory and lore isn't shoved in your face, it's hidden in implications and sometimes just briefly mentioned in the description of an item. Hell, *spoilers if you even care at this point!* the final boss doesn't say a single word. He just runs up to you and starts trying to kill you. Probably succeeds. Also you contradicted yourself. Twice. I'd point out exactly where, but that'd ruin the fun of you actually reading what you wrote and trying to make sense of it.
