I think thats the best section to ask this question so there it is: What is Dark Souls? I'm hearing a lot of this game (III) and today I saw trinimortal (not well writen, I know) playing it so I'd like to know what is it about. It made me remember TLoZ: Twilight Princess
A brutal game that kills you a lot, but gives you the hope to persevere if you plan ahead and pay attention.

2 minute review: It's a difficult, dark, intense, action/adventure RPG. It's got a bunch of different weapons (like 15 weapon types), a few kinds of magic. Dodging, blocking, or parrying are important for staying alive. Level design is pretty good. The story is okay, but it's mostly mysterious lore hints here and there; you could ignore the story entirely if you're not keen on it. The bosses are big, epic fights, and the "trash mobs" are nothing to sneeze at either. The PvP in the game is pretty competitive, but not really my favorite.
Like anyone will tell you, the game is challenging, and frustrating at times. IMO though, it's not beat-your-head-into-the-wall hard, so don't be too intimidated (a little fear is healthy though).
