Finally made it past the Spider woman at level 41. I neglected upgrading armor as I so used to DS3 and BB. I've attempted CD boss and he just 1 shots me. I guess I gotta save that for later. Went into Sens and I feel underpowered lol. Might just finish up Darkroot Basin since I killed the Hydra earlier.
During my original playthrough on PS3 back around release, I only got up to Dukes Archives and never completed the game because I was really busy at the time, so I feel like this is all so fresh to me as I really don't remember much. One thing I've noticed compared to DS3 and BB is just how much better the level design is. Everything is too open in DS3/BB and every boss is almost in a huge arena, whereas in DS1 there are more unique environmental situations when battling bosses, Zodd (Minitour) boss, for example, is on a narrow bridge with archers attacking you and also the cheap ass Capra Demon which is battled in a closet. Everything makes sense too, like Blighttown being located right next to the Demon Ruins.
I think I might even give DS2 another shot (will be my 4th attempt) after I finish. Hopefully, I can get more use to the delayed input lag and lighter feel of the mechanics.
