I loved what I managed to get from Dark Souls to death, but would you judge me poorly if I admitted I quit at the O&S boss fight? I even got to the second phase, only to meet some glitch that has you spawn under an already dropping butt splash. I just stopped, then. Wish I could experience it as others do, but I've no longer any desire.

Other than that you explain why, even after that bullshit, I love what the game stands for. Great review.

I don't blame anyone for rage quitting at O&S. It's the low point of the game. Anyway, thanks for reading and the input!

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

Getting through the first phase is the easy part of the battle. The second phase is killer, no matter which guy is left alive. But like Joe said, it's the low point of the game. The developers packed most of the best stuff in the game AFTER that fight, which to me seems a little bit unfair. I know the level itself and particularly the boss fight will keep a lot of people from experiencing what makes the title so fantastic. I'm not entirely sure I would have kept going myself, but I was being paid to write a guide for it and thus had extra incentive.
