From my experience, DS splits people into two camps. Those that can't get past the first boss or two, and then those that have played through 3 or 4 times.
Finally some news to put up on my project dark news watch site. Ha ha I knew I shouldn't have gotten into that pursuit. However, I like both names fairly well. Definitely dark fantasy. Didnt even even think of eternal rings. I wouldnt mind something like dark crowns. Love FROM so much.
Just keeping trying! After putting the game down for months I started a new character this week and finally beat 2-1. It's so exhilarating! And then a Black Phantom invaded and stole my body. And it was awesome.
