Honestly, this game is not as ridiculous or tedious as others make it out to be. I'll admit the first few hours or so felt kind of aimless to me , but just like any Soulsborne game once i figured out how the game is intended to be played it was smooth sailing from there on out.

I used to think FromSoftware games weren't for me, but now I'm starting to think they are because if I can finish Dark Souls 2 I'm sure I can finish Anor Londo in Dark Souls 1 (shelved the game at that point) and hopefully the rest of the trilogy.
