E3
2011: Dark Souls Will Kill You
And
kill you. And kill you. And kill you.
Demon’s
Souls wasn’t a game for everyone
— though it should
have been. In an
era where games gently guide players one step at a time, From
Software’s 2009
PS3 RPG threw players into a world that took no prisoners and used
death as its
ultimate teaching tool. One misstep, one wrong turn, and — maybe most
importantly — any iota of confidence ultimately resulted in knowledge
gained
from a grisly demise. The fact that Dark
Souls’ trailer boldly includes
the text “PREPARE TO
DIE”
should be more than enough proof that series director Hidetaka Miyazaki
plans
to kill thousands upon thousands more of you this October 4th, when his
newest
RPG hits both PS3 and the Xbox 360.
