Yeah, I agree ^ Dark Souls is way easier to me than Demon's even now.

I'd imagine that if I did play Dark Souls first, I would be a little confused on what to to at the start of the game considering that one, its open world and two there is little to no explanation; not even for game mechanics.

That's a big difference between Dark and Demon's Souls. I think it's good to have freedom at the start of the game, but the developer mentality behind it is kinda: "Here, same game. More world...go." I could see how it would be hard to get into the game if not even simple game mechanics are explained.

That's what makes the game even more awesome for me though, knowing that all the little lore details in item descriptions and all the information on the wiki was completely pieced together by people digging into it that much. No manuals here.

Also, if you're bored and don't quite understand what you're doing ..PLAY ONLINE. Let yourself get invaded and say you're still bored /Kappaface.

Also, Co-Op never gets old.
