Just played 10 mins, gonna get more into it later after dealing with work. But I wanted to share that it's start made me upset xD
Main reason is the intro, it's like Mama Murphy on chems... but x100, it just babbled words at me, and didn't explain shit. Witcher III and Fallout 4 were great in involving you into what's going on, and Dark Souls is on the extreme opposite, if they were going to just blurt words and images without context, they could just have skipped that and put me right into the game, right?
Dunno, it made me upset, but I guess that vagueness IS a darksouls thing, and I'm just upset at it for this being my first darksouls adventure ever.
And second detail that made me upset is that all the fucking text pop ups to teach how to play the game.... are for controllers. The keyboard&mouse controls works just fine, but they make you experiment on your own or go peek at the keybindings every time to find out what the key is for you. It's annoying.
Anyway, the game looked great once it was started and I got the basic actions. Got to the crystal boss that was around the corner after dealing with several normal ghost dudes without major problems. There were a lot of blood pools telling me how everybody was dying easily. I almost killed the boss in the first try... was just basic watch and identify the attack pattern stuff, but was fun.. I'll surely beat him the next time.
I think I'll enjoy the game, but I just wanted to share my small rant about it too o3o;
Tell me how's your experience with it and with previous Dark Soul games :D But remember this is my first one, no spoilers please xD

Also, the lizard isn't the boss, it's more of less-than-a-mini-boss, you kill them to get a special resource for upgrading your stuff.
On the other hand, people beat Dark Souls 1 with a drum kit from Rock Band so...it's all subjective.
The game is indeed very hard. I'm dying a lot now. But slowly I get it, how to use different tactics with different enemies. It takes lot of patience tho, sometimes I get upset, but I like the high difficulty... I can see why it has become so popular.
