Across my numerous characters it has always taken two dart shots to apply toxic, so I could always run around like crazy to throw off their aim until I noticed where the dart was coming from. I guess I was never unlucky enough to be wearing armor with terrible poison resist.

The only places level wise I hated in Dark Souls was Blight Town with its general terribleness and THOSE TWO FUCKING ARCHER SHITWITS SHOOTING TREETRUNKS AT ME AHHHHHHHHHHH.

Besides that the only HUGE walls I had were certain bosses first time though like Bell Gargoyles, Artorias and Kalameet in the DLC, and the Bed of Chaos which can fuck right off too.

Dark Souls is still one of my favorite games ever now though.

I wonder if that's one of those things they changed in the patch that landed after we already beat it a couple times, Kim?

I believe it was like that for me on the PS3 at launch.

The only real problem I had with Blight Town was frame-rate issues.

Also, I constantly got lost. Forever.

Then I learned there was a back way through, and all was well with the world.

So far, I'm looking more into the Metriod series (mainly Super Metriod, and Metriod Fusion).

I feel with those titles, I can gain a better understanding of how to handle exploration and non-linear/semi-linear gameplay.

How is out that no one mentioned Cave Story this entire thread?

Phil mentioned it earlier.

I mention Cave Story in every thread I post in.
