So I've had this game since launch, played it a bunch at first but never got too far into it. This was mostly because I was not too good at the parrying and riposte mechanic. So I defaulted to the playstyle that got me through Demon's Souls, which was the poke strategy of a spear and shield. During this time, I was still into Call of Duty, so it was easy for me to unhook myself from Dark Souls, and I figure it would be something I come back to at a later time.
