Alright well I have my copy now finally and have played it for a bit and if you are not a fan of the souls series there is no reason for you to buy this game. I don't know why you would if you didn't like the others. Anyways, I love the Souls series and this is the best one to come out since Demon's Souls. I loved Dark Souls but the second one just felt off to me for some reason. I still played the hell out of it for PVP.

This feels like when I first loaded up Dark Souls. Everything was different but still felt the same. The mechanics are similar but different enough to feel fresh to me. The other great thing is they were not able to reuse any of the old stuff so everything feels new. I wish it was 60fps but you can't have everything when you are playing on a potato.

The game is not hard it is just more styled after retro games. It doesn't just hand you everything and let you pretend to be a bad ass. You have to earn it and that is what makes the "souls" series fun. No hand holding. If you don't like having to try again and again then you will be frustrated quickly and will be crying in the corner for "wasting" your money.
