I can't find the one I made for Milady...
After reading all that, I still want Dark Souls.
Because if Ray can say, "I hate this, and this, and this....but I'm still having fun," I think I can deal with it.
Then again, I only played one section of Demon's Souls before I picked up Dead Space and got distracted, so I'll likely try to finish up what I need to do in that game first, and the price will drop in the meantime.
I agree to an extent, but I do like a bit more variance in the games that I play. Since I just beat Demon's Souls a couple of months ago, and am currently playing through Nier (which is a similar play style, 'cept not nearly as complex or difficult thus far), if I launch into another action/adventure RPG right after this I'll burn out on the genre and won't want to continue anymore. There's a reason that I vary up the genres the way that I do -- it's to keep me interested in playing more. Even going from RE5 to Nier to Uncharted 3 (which is likely the next game I'm going to pick up, unless I power through Nier with enough time to pick up a short game before U3 comes out) has me worried that I might burn out on third-person shooters by the time I'm most of the way through U3.
