I never played the other 2 versions of Dark Souls, I did however get this game on PC (through Steam). I like and don't like that you really can't make any mistakes (continuous save game feature), this makes for a pretty difficult game (at least getting used to that feature, glad I really did not have to get used to this feature). I have however since it is on my pc (files are stored locally), made a vb.net program that saves and restores saved games (makes things a little easier for me). I like the game mechanics and some of the ai is very intelligent (shield blocks, roll dodges and drinking healing elixirs), some of the bosses have given me a very difficult time.
