Melee is the only proper way to play Dark Souls. Don't listen to what other people say, anything else is easy mode and is only acceptable after you have completed the game and are trying out different builds.
EDIT: I realized this does sound a bit too judging... of course everyone should play the way they prefer. Magic and ranged is generally easier that melee so melee might feel more rewarding, which is what Dark Souls is all about.
Okay, thank you.
later in the game, is awesome

Those are all quite different from each other. I'm not saying FROM don't reuse bosses, the certainly do. I think those are just bad examples, apart from IG/TK.
Vanguard (DeS), Demon Firesage (DaS) and Asylum Demon (DaS) is good example. Same moveset with the exception of an added AoE blast added to the DaS reincarnation.
There's generally a lot of reused ideas for bosses between games. I think they do a good job of remixing those ideas for the most part.
Holy shit. /Dead, literally too.
I did that place over 6 TIMES! I have never ever done any places more than 3 times in a Souls series.
I thought I can brute force it, but there are so many enemies near the fog gate.
I gave up on that place until I went back with bow/ 500 arrows to say fuck you bitches!! (Aiming for their head because I was that pissed off)

haha the most frustrating part of the game for me as a melee character with no arrows was definitely shrine of amana, so many deaths there.

So I've put about 15 hours into the game this weekend and feel like writing some thoughts. Firstly, this is everything I wanted from a Dark Souls sequel and I am in the hot zone with it where I can think of nothing else. I was washing my car in the sub this afternoon and all I could think about was getting back into the game 
The next few months will be tough, and I can't even think about inFAMOUS and MGS which are both out on Friday!
I am not 100% sold on the non-respawning enemies; Among the main reason, it also makes the game world feel empty as you can travel for a while at times without coming across anyone. I do wonder if FROM will patch this out in a future update, but I guess we don't know how well it will work out at the moment. You can easily get souls from the awesome co-op play but who knows how busy that will be in 6 months, 1 year down the road..
Couple of remarks about PS3 version
- Framerate is shit and DOES affect controls at times
- Audio glitches. Audio constantly cuts in and out, quite nasty at times.
- Loading is... Long but not horrific (I do wish online summoning was done like Burnout Paradise where your games just merged together though, the loading into someone's game is a little long)
Game world feels good although perhaps bot as interconnected as before? Wont know for a while on this. The game has lost the wonder factor of DkS1, but thats not the games fault, it IS a sequel to two other games. Combat feels really slick, the new changes feel good and keep you on your toes. Along with this, things such as Stamina getting fuuuucked (almost feels like a negative value when it zeroes), and your character basically giving up These changes, with slower Estus drinking, and Max health loss upon death have really bumped up the overall difficulty. After playing all weekend I think I like the changes, and its just getting used to change Natural human emotion and all that!
So yeah, game is amazing and I love it.

Wait until you get to what's under that.

Oh shit... did I just hear the same VA from Xenoblade who does Fiora in that game?

I did! That's awesome. I loved her voice in that game. She's the VA of the woman you

Oh man I just realized what the Champions Covenant I've been in since the beginning does to the game. Well, too far in to abandon it now.

Question about a small secret by the first bonfire in
Is it true that you can
Harvest Valley.
turn the poison pool blocking the bonfire into a healing pool?
Guys, are you ready to own 99.95% of all PVP fight?
1) Buy Spider Fang with Freya Soul.
2) Stand in front of them and use R2 special attack-Web Shot to slow them down
3) If it hits, THEY ARE SOOOO SCREWED!
4) Cast Swerving Flame, zero cast time, and it will explore in a 360 degree with no time to move/dodge---or just Backstab them.
5) Emote to them on how cheap you were

Last night I decided it was time to finish up the Lost Bastille. I ran the boss as a summon once to get my bearings, and earned a hefty sum in the process. Then, as soon as I'm returned to my world, right near the boss doorway, I'm being rushed by at least 3 of those tough ass soldiers who wreck your shit immediately if you get caught up in their attacks. I panicked and ran into the boss room and of course died to the second two sentinels. So now my souls are trapped in there. Guess it's time to be human and roll with a posse.
I haven't had much trouble with any of the bosses so far, but I just don't see how you can fight two enemies at once in this game.
Also, is it weird that I'm at level 65 or something after 14 hours and 5 bosses down?

Yes. But keep in mind even with the ring you will lose quite some HP.
There's a huge area down there.

Yeah I'd say Blighttown was way worse. At least there isn't platforming in the Gutter. Just take it slow and carry a torch whenever you can, lighting the fires as you go.
Endurance is the most important stat in the game. Period. If you don't know what to put points into, go with endurance or hp.
You need to help someone with the regular size white soapstone, not the small white soapstone.
Bastard Sword and Drangleic Shield combo is tearing stuff up at the moment. Only just got to (5/6+ bosses down area)
but took down the
with no problems on the second try after I fucked up the first one by falling down too early. Really need to find some Lockstones, not come across one for a while despite seeing a few mechanisms.
This bonfire is stupid, though.
