Also, FUCK this run to the
. I mean, it's just a long run where absolutely NOTHING happens. There's no challenge, nothing to engage you, it merely wastes your time. Why? Terrible.
EDIT: Ok, and beating that boss did fucking nothing? That also seems to be a theme in this game. There are rather few things that make you feel like you are actually making progress, most of it is just "ok, so that did nothing, huh?". That amazingly rewarding feeling you often got in DkS1 is very rare here.
EDIT 2: The gate across the chasm in that boss room, can you get to it? Doesn't seem like it.
