From SoftwareYou never completed: Finding everything. For all its world-building prowess and an endless level of immersion on every level, Dark Souls is still an unabashedly punishing, whip-crack-mistress of a game. You'll from starting out admiring the world around you and leaving likeminded 'Amazing View' comments on the floor, to sweating buckets as you attempt to take on Ornstein and Smough after a Dragonball Z-style lengthy training session, however when all is said and done the amount of content expertly baked into the Dark Souls death-cake is full of flavours you'll never taste. Mainly because when you settle into a routine with Dark Souls on your first playthrough, the game begins to divide players into three groups: You'll either have given up after one tussle with the Capra Demon, or you'll settle into the mountain-climbing mentality of ascending to the top just to say you've beaten it, with the game consuming you in the process. Or there's the dedicated players for who the game's mechanics and world-systems feel so natural and in-place that they'll seek out every last trapped chest and hidden weapon. But even they rarely hit the unbelievably high requirement for a 100% completion - only 3.54% in fact - rarely grabbing every single offensive spell, rare weapon, defensive buff or obscure item the game has tucked away. For that latter group, fair play to you for trying, but the rest of us just don't have the stomach for it.
