It's not just the dogs that make the fight so difficult, it's the insanely claustrophobic, tight, area in which you're supposed to fight... made worse by loads of hanging vines and greenery that throws the camera in Tomb Raider Spastic mode. Just cheat. Climb the stairs, kill the dogs, then when Capra climbs after you; drop down. He drops and it takes a while to recover, letting you wail on him.
Thats not cheating. the devs put those stairs there for a reason.

For me it was just the dogs, really.
After I dispatched them I ran up the stairs and sniped the shit out of the guy with my shortbow+5.
11-12 large arrows and 2-3 "laps" up the stairs and the guy was toast.

After ~9 hours of play (just reached Blighttown) I decided that it was enough. I've had my dose of fun but the situation was getting scarily repetitive and generic (aside from the bosses, definitely inspired, although artificially built to be annoying. Yes Capra, I'm looking at you ).
The game is rewarding, basically a constant challenge, and can be damn satisfying at times, but I don't like the whole endless try-die-repeat mechanics and the lack of a proper narrative structure able to hold all the parts together. Guess it's simply not my kind of game.
This is the second time I try this game, I still can't get into it I've put in five hours, for some reason it just bores me. I don't experience the hardcore stuff or the "awesome exploration". Mostly it's irritating and repetitive to me, I think I'm getting old
Haha no mate it has nothing to do with the age, actually I'm pretty sure that 5-6 years ago I would have disliked it even more xD
It's just a very peculiar experience, very marmite-sque with its love-it-or-hate-it qualities.
I played it a bit, I'll probably end up buying it, but seriously, anyone who says that game is hard obviously didn't play "Old Granite Hotel" mission in SWAT 4.

It surely was less repetitive and definitely more thrilling . Plus having the trusty mouse easily granted a +100 on dexterity
And the random enemy placement + deadly accuracy of the AI + the time limit because of the bombs + actual consequences for being shot granted a +10000000000 for rage and +100000 for buttfuckery

Did you at least beat Blighttown? Before Blighttown I'd say the game is very easy(post curse nerf) as long as you have any patience.
People definitely overrate how hard the game is, though. It just isn't as forgiving as the vast majority of modern games.
So I just strolled through some DS related forums and it seems that the PC version infact has many changes over the console versions which makes it infact harder and also more balanced in PvP. (Will propably change when the DLC hits the consoles too)
Well, it absolutely felt harder in many encounters than it was back then when I played it on PS3. I know that there were patches for the console versions but even those don't have all the changes the PC version has. Some Bosses were absolutely buffed, many items/weapons were nerfed and they added/moved stuff you can pick up in the world.
So, be careful if you read on the Wikis and Guides. Many of those aren't accurate for the PC version. Be especially careful about the weapons, rings and armor when you want to upgrade them. (For example, someone mentioned how good the Claymore is. Well, careful, they slowed it down quite a bit. It's still good, but not as good as it was before.)
And they nerfed Elemental weapons quite a bit too.
Crocker and his ezmode console version talking big in here
When I first got there, I thought it was cool and people overrate its difficulty. Well, not anymore. I just died there for the 6th time in a row. Fucking platforms and performance issues!
Nevertheless, the game is great. I simply can't play anything else at the moment because everything feels so cheap, shallow and easy comparing to this.

I don't know for sure. I obviously didn't test it.
I only used the trainer to test some stuff out. Like how fast you could join the Darkwraith covenant with a very low SL.
Didn't work out too well though. It's possible to do this very fast, with shitty weapons and low stats but encounters like Fatboy&Slim and especially the Four Kings will give you a very hard time. And I'm not good enough to pull this off and I don't want to dedicate that much time into the game that would be needed to reach that level of play. So, nope! No scaring the fuck out of new low level players with the badass Darkwraith Amor and Darkhand humanity sucking for me
Anyways since this is a GFWL game and I remember that the trainers for GTA4 worked for the MP too. So I guess it will also for Dark Souls. Would explain why there are so many hackers, like people are stating. Dipshit X just needs to download one of them and there you go... and there is some pretty nasty stuff in there. It gives you godmode, unlimited stamina, one hit kills, souls and so on. Totally breaks the game. But honestly.. nothing new and that shocking on PC Gaming MP front if you're honest. You have to depend on the honesty of the other players.
Any cheat works online in this game due to how it's set up, oddly enough even basic memory editing via CheatEngine works which otherwise usually causes a exception error and crash due to LIVE detecting that things are being edited, seems it has no protection whatsoever which is quite weird.
EDIT: If you wish to be human and avoid online interference you'd either have to block outgoing connections (So none can connect to you but otherwise everything works fine.) or you'd have to use a offline profile.
Setting soul level to say 9999 could also help but certain Covenants invade up so you'd still get a invasion on occasion plus other cheaters might find you easier if you do so.
(Stats don't scale above 99 by the way so there's some protection there as a soul level 1 guy in decent equipment can have a fair chance against a bad max level player.)
Yup. But maybe he's lucky like me. I encountered only two hackers in my playthrough which never ran out of stamina. And ofc the obvious 1shot when they've finally hit me.

9 hours and into blight town no wonder you got annoyed. i was 35 hours into the game when i first went there
definitely one of the best rpgs and definitely goty for me
yep same here. goty material definitely. i am playing 5+ hours a day. i see crazy poeple on steam forums with double my hours already, which means they're playing 10+ hours a day lol.
i was just exploring blight town when i found an illusory wall(thx to whoever left the msg there), which had another illusory wall behind it leading to some crazy hollow tree. then those weird eyed bastards cursed me and made me retrace my steps all the way to the sewer lady that has the curse stones... i raged hard.
then i wanted to get my estus flasks up to +2 since i found another one of those estus flask boosters, but somebody murdered my fire keeper. now im gonna have to invade the world of the offender and reclaim her soul. definitely didn't expect this to happen. i wonder what await there. then ill be going back to the hollow tree to reach the bottom and see whats there, and to clear out the spider den that i still haven't done.
the game just keeps on delivering the gaming goodness that makes being a gamer so awesome.
50 hours later, and im still cluless about so much in the game, no wonder there is a 400mb pdf guide. to learn everything by yourself takes a lot of time. imagine this game before the internet. the hair pulling and rage inducing effects would have been exponentially higher
Lol after 9 hours didnt even left parish
feel sorry fot those that dont like this game, definitely one of the best rpgs and definitely goty for me
Not for me, just for the fact that they where too lazy to make a proper port and used pity excuses as to why they didn't.
Unless they repay that guy in some way, i don't think they should be credited one single bit for this game on pc.

Also I was wondering if it is at all possible to transfer saves between GFWL accounts so I wouldn't lose the progress I made on my offline account?
Not usually no, the last time I checked "local profiles" can't be merged into "online" profiles. This is why I NEVER create a local profile like people suggest, I use my normal GFWL/XBL account and simply cancel sign-in ... et voila, offline
