Dark Souls summons 1.5 million copies in first 2 months

Dark Souls has been renowned for being absolutely panic and frustratingly difficult and has caused a lot of broken controllers the world over. But the publishers Namco Bandai, have sold 1.5 million of the game on PS3 and XBLA worldwide and have hopes to continue their global dominance. 

 

Dark Souls is the sequel to the equally punishing Demon Souls from a few years ago, however a major gameplay change helped give some leeway to players. An integated e-based system of players being able to turn on a way to communicate with other fallen breatheren to leave notes and clues as you play, despite the insane difficulty. The game actually rewards you for helping out players...as they may actually invade your game and kill you within seconds taking all your souls. 

 

I hope to get my hands on some Dark Souls before Christmas. If I destroy a controller, QJ.net will be the first to know.

it isnt that hard, it is not a sequel it is a spiritual successor, the messaging system was present in demons souls so it isnt "a major gameplay change helped give some leeway to players", and you can help by being summoned not getting invaded... learn something about the game before you talk about it

Don't get me wrong, I loved Dark Souls, but comparing it to Demon Souls is a joke. The biggest reason being, Demon Souls was actually hard until around NG++. By that point, it was incredibly easy simply due to knowing everything about the game including attack patterns, timings, etc. The only difficulty you really encounter in Dark Souls is a few places where the auto-camera rotation tries to make you jump to your death, and a couple enemies where the target-lock conveniently breaks when you need to backup. It causes you to turn around and eat the hit rather than backing away and avoiding it. If you play like me and tried to make the game harder on yourself by not investing in Vitality as a melee build, it means pretty near a 1 hit kill in many cases. The fun in Dark Souls is derived from the freedom of exploring, experimenting with gear and tactics, and very non-linear gameplay. I'd definitely recommend Dark Souls to anyone that wants to have fun, but I wouldn't tell anyone but a 'girlfriend-gamer' that it is challenging.
