I first played this back in 2012 and it quickly became my favorite game of all time.
Sure there is a lot of issues with it for start its riddled with bugs some of these bugs can make a hellish boss fight like Ornstein and Smough actually doable by someone solo without spending 5+ hours on it or some glitches can make the experience even more frustrating than the difficulty already makes it, The gameplay can also feel a little bit janky at times.
So why is this my favorite game of all time after I just easily wrote a paragraph complaining about it and could continue?
The reason this is my favorite game of all time is because it's a modern classic there is no denying the influence this game has had on games as a whole. Every other game is now called a "souls-like" no fault of this game and so many franchises new and previously existing have taken influence in terms of gameplay mechanics. Sure Demon Soul's was first but this game took everything from demon souls and just made something absolutely magnificent.
The Scenery, The Soundtrack, The bosses, The World, The Lore, The Combat Mechanics, The PVP, Covenant Systems, Replay Value, And being the first of many of what I consider the best games of all time being released by the incredible FromSoftware is why this is my favorite game of all time.
