Best game I've ever played.
Ok, first of all, stay away from strategy guides, and/or Googling anything about how to play or beat this game. Just go into the game blind. It will be the most engaging video game experience you've ever had. You are dropped into a huge world with very little guidance as to what you need to do. But you will learn the do's and don'ts of the game very quickly, without setting yourself back too far. But, I can't wait to see the additions in this edition of the game, as well as the online features they have added. I've already purchased the game on Xbox and will be buying the PC version in hopes that the lag problems on the Xbox version, in a certain portion area of the game, have been resolved, as well as I know my computer should have no issues running that certain portion of the game. Regardless of the graphical issues, on the Xbox version at least, with the original version on PS3 and Xbox 360 you should prepare to die, over and over again. I would not recommend this game for younger gamers for the mere fact that, unless they are a prodigy child, they will hate this game from the lack of directions, and from the very subtle hints of direction you need to take. You have to pay attention to the story and what they NPCs are saying or else you will never (or have a really difficult time) figure out how to beat this game, unless you buy the strategy guide, which again will take away from the experience of Dark Souls. 10/10 I am definitely buying this game again for the PC.

Best money I've ever spent.
This game is absolutely amazing. Forget what some of the negative comments are saying. The only reason they didn't experience it fully, is because they didn't take the time to optimize it. The PC port in and of itself isn't the greatest. but if you use a controller from PS3/X360, you'll be perfectly fine for playing. That combined with some of the community fixes, make this one of the best games you will ever play. Dark Souls has far and away exceeded my expectations for a game, and I can hardly play anything else as a result; most other things can't compare.

360 controller required
just an fyi all the complainers in these reviews are upset that while you can use the keyboard and mouse its still designed for an xbox controller. when it says hit "A" it means the "A" on the controller. I have played on all platforms and PS3 was the worst. It had huge texture pop in problems.

UNFINISHED GAME, DO NOT BUY!!
First let me start off by saying, Dark Souls is the best game ever made for PS3 or Xbox360. The reason I am telling you not to buy this because it is a total waste of money because the designers NEVER finished formatting the game for PC... it is unplayable, the game itself is still 100% still an Xbox game and they intend for you to play it on PC. Please listen to my warning and don't waste 40$ on it like I did. Buy Dark Souls for PS3 or Xbox

Game is broken
I went into this expecting it to be great, just like the versions on PS3 and Xbox 360. I went into this hoping it would be just as fun and challenging.
I came out regretting my purchase.
Why, you may ask? What could it have been that changed my opinion so drastically?
THE PORT IS SO HORRIBLE YOU CANNOT PLAY IT.
I.E.: "Press A"; now, the problem is, there is no key binding for "A", only for action, so you have to search every key on your keyboard for what does that action, and you find out it is Q.
I would continue with all the examples, but I need to find a way to either fix the game or get a refund.
All in all, until they fix the port, DO NOT BUY IT.

Best Game Ever
Demon Souls, Dark Souls and now the PC edition with DLC Prepare to Die i don't think I've had more fun playing any other game. Great single player play and even greater pvp style system.
