Dark Souls 2 free on xbox gold

[FatSumo]

Just a heads up for fellow 360 owners

I think you mean Dark Souls 1

[FatSumo]

Might do, I just pressed download because it was free

[Baryonyx]

I downloaded it last night. I might give it another half-hearted run through using a magic character.

I am tempted, but me and hard games usually result in the controller flying across the room, and if I gave up it would ruin my completion percentage

God I hate this game, died about fifteen times already on the instruction stage

Yet another game I'm unable to download due to region restrictions. (I have a UK gold account, and recently moved to USA, and downloaded my profile onto it)

I don't want to change for two reasons:
1. I have 17 quid in credit I'd lose
2. I don't really want my profile to say I'm in/from America.

What's wrong with being in/from America?

Nothing, I love it here, I've just become more sentimental about the UK so wanted to keep it on my gamertag.

I'm loving this actually.

Originally bought this on the PC but couldn't get on with the controls.

So much easier on the Xbox.

Where are you dying? I died over and over and over to the skelletons in the graveyard, the ones that reanimate after you kill them. Still no idea how to kill them for good so I ran in the opposite direction. Finding a lot of notes left by people which are disturbing and helpful in equal measure.

Having one person leave the note "Beware the sniper up ahead" or "Chest in the next room" was great. Having others saying "I can't take this any more!" or "Imminent death ahead" is just odd...

I also really like the old school RPG-esque menus whilst the graphics in the game are excellent. Menus are a little clunky however, like is there a quicker way to equip a weapon from my inventory?
