So, after playing this game for approx 2 hours I can safely say that I really want to like the game but I just cant. So many things that just annoys the dick off of me.
Maybe Im just old and old fashioned ( or stupid for not finding it ) but is it too much to ask for a map? Backtracking to where I got backstabbed and gangbanged for the 7th time is just impossible cuz in my eyes, everything looks identical.

The most annoying thing for me personally tho must be the sense of not knowing what the fuck im supposed to be doing. I literally spent 2 hours faffing about, got killed somewhere then I spent Another hour trying to find My way back.

I think what will help me the most is not playing the game at 2am ^_^

Also, the Cleric Beast being on a bridge with 2 Werewolves. Are those werewolves 2x the first mob you encountered in the starting area? (The one I beat with my fists because I had no idea that you could get your weapons from talking to the helpful tips-ghosts on the ground in the Hunter's Rest).
If so, I think that's exactly where I called it quits, I got to the bridge, killed the 2 werewolves and then I died to something and went to bed.

Just going to restart the game when I get home tho, I had no idea how to read the stats on weapons and such so I picked the axe, which really doesn't suit my playstyle at all (Fast 1handers ftw).

Sadly, I am REALLY bad at remembering / memorizing the way I came from and stuff, but I guess I'll get better. I also need to learn not to just bring up the axe and cleave 2-3 mobs at the same time (does not always end so well, apparently).

What you guys seem to not like about it is what makes it special. If this game had a map it would be terrible in my opinion and boil down to the feeling of fetch quests (go here and do this, go here and do that).

Game is not hard in my opinion. If you are having difficulty it is on your approach. Granted I am experienced with the souls series but I cake walked through the entire game.

That's the thing that irks me.
"This game is not hard, I beat souls 39 times, this is easy in comparison."

Well fuck yeah, obviously it's going to be easy FOR_YOU.

I can say the same thing about world of warcraft that I've been playing for 10 years.

You enter this tiers final raid boss, you will most likely die in the first 2 seconds of the fight because of a mechanic, whilst I will think it's fucking easy as shit because I've done it 2000 times before and wonder how you manage to tie your shoelaces if you can't dodge that attack.

I specificly said that I did not want a map that pointed you to where you should go, but a simple way of checking where you've already been would be beneficial to me as a first-time player.


I am really sorry if I come across as a total douchefag, but that is the stereotypical response I see from a souls-veteran when someone ever so slightly questions the game-design choices that were made.


I will definately give the game another shot later tonight, but I am afraid the same issues will irk me. Or it might not, only time will tell :)


EDIT:
Woah, I just re-read what I wrote and I really sound like a douchefag. I am sorry, I guess the 3-hour-sleep is getting to me.
No offense to anyone was meant.

Maybe you should just give up on gaming, considering you are obviously too bad at it
