| You almost beat that overpowered demon? Well, now your dead, go back 10 minutes earlier and do it all again. |

| If it takes you ten minutes to get to a boss from a bonfire, you're doing something horribly wrong. |

| I mean, it only makes somewhat sense if you're using a weak weapon and going to Ornstien and Smough, killing all of the Royal Sentinels. |

It takes me about 10 to get to the Taurus demon but that's because I always try to kill the black knight that I'm not good enough to kill yet.

Only if you're bad at the game. |

Seems like someone, instead of fixing his mistakes, calls the game crap and blindly hates it.
Yeah, the walk to the Taurus Demon is annoying, but after that, you become hooked like no other game. In this past month, I have played exactly 100 hours. It's the best game I ever played.
I suggest you push on and get over the fact that Dark Souls hates your impatience and expectation for an easy game.

Also, enjoy fighting those tiny and weak hollow soldiers while you can. I remember when they were still a threat, and it's such a nostalgic time for me after 100 hours of fighting several skyscraper-sized monsters in pitch-black environments, lava lakes, a very deadly library (in which you are trapped in, with no escape), and an abyss where everything is black, and you can't tell whether the enemy is 1 meter or 100 meters away from you. Also, those silver knights in Anor Londo sitting on that ledge shooting those giant damn dragonslayer arrows at you.

@overwatcher If it takes me 2 hours to beat the 2nd boss of the game, the developers were doing something wrong. It should never take that long. |

@imp
BK's are parry/backstab central, just turtle around them and backstab when you get a opening.
@OP
you are terrible at this game.
don't expect to just use a COD mindset and manage to beat the game in two hours. my first playthrough took me over 80 hours and it was arguably one of the funnest games I have ever played. |

I could probably do the walk to taurus demon with my eyes closed up to the BK because I've done it so much and it's fairly short. Isn't Burg where you find Solaire the first time? If so, where and how? I haven't found him yet.

@imp
He's after the taurus demon.
You'll come to a area, the left is a giant scorched bridge (protip don't walk on it yet), the right is a stone-balcony type thing. Solaire is on the balcony.
When you DO walk on the bridge, get to where the scorch marks are, then run back to solaire, as quickly as you can. |

@eap I didn't think that it was going to be an easy game like CoD, BL, Skyrim, ect. What I DID expect was that I would die but it would always seem fair like in TBoI or X-Com. Dark Souls is simply unfair, and I do not enjoy being killed over and over and having to go through the same area I already did many times just to get to the boss. |

it isn't unfair, you have to learn and adapt.
are you horrible at dodging? learn to dodge, you'll get such a easier time |

@eap I can dodge but its so slow and the time it takes to roll before you actually hit the button is delayed. Either way, I don't really hate the game, but it is unfair and incredibly difficult. |

then wear lighter armor?
Not getting hit > Tanking/Shielding it
ALWAYS.
It isn't unfair, you need to change and adapt.
also if you are leveling up resistance, the character is automatically ruined. |

@eap Okay, I guess I'll try your suggestion. Also, do you know of any way to increase your FPS on the PC? With DSFix i'm getting 20 or less FPS way to often. Specs GTX 560 Ti Intel Quad Core CPU 1.4 GHZ 4 GB Ram Windows 7 |

I'm running at rougly 20 fps 24/7, no need to worry, it's still playable.
Undead Burg, Undead Parish, Oolacile Township, and Blighttown are the major "Fps drop" areas. |

@Imp I meant to post 2.4 Ghz That's still not that great but it should undoubtedly be better then the 360 and PS3's processors |
