So Doors of Pharros is a joke area right?
First of, there are millions of Pharros's contraception doors, and I have no idea which ones to activate nor what the hell they do actually, They dont give you any good items, thats for sure. The boss is ridiculously difficult, I wont even attempt to take him without help, and the water area is terrible for traversal, you're slow as fuck.
But the worst part are these bizarre forced invasions. I am being put into a host's world, without even wanting to invade anyone, the game just automatically invades for me. And when I get there, the NPC enemies attack me and completely ignore the host !!!! I know there is a certain item that makes NPCs attack the invader, but I didnt know it also makes the enemies ignore the host. That just seems completely game breaking for me.
Fuck this area.

Most of the Pharros locks are useless except if you're in the Rat Covenant. There are three that open up a metal door (two on the sides, one below it in the water) that let you open a chest, but otherwise just ignore them.
I only got summoned like two or three times, but at least there are no repercussions when you die. You can always just go offline if you don't want to be summoned.
Also I heard you can't summon help for the boss of the area, but don't quote me on that. You just have to get lucky and somehow kill the small rats first. At least the bonfire is right next to the boss.

Currently stuck on the smelter demon and in the iron Keep. Their are so many areas i can enter but the fire can kill me such as a building. I'm so confused right now, how is the smelter demon optional if i have no way of getting past him. Also he is impossible 1vs1 as a melee. |
You don't have to fight him. There's a path leading up past him. If you don't mind summoning someone, summon at least one person in the Sun covenant (orange sign) since their lightning spear makes short work of him.

So, guys, I think some of you should be able to answer this question by now...what´s the best Souls game? |
Dark Souls 1 is probably the best. I like the world and area progression more, plus I think although Dark Souls 2 generally looks better than 1, Dark Souls 1 handles darker areas better (many passageways in 2 are gray and bland). Also Dark Souls 1 has the better NPCs. In terms of combat the games are pretty much even.
Dark Souls 2 is still a good game though, of course. I'm not sure how I'd rank it up to Demon's Souls 1. Maybe about the same. I don't think the quality between the games varies too much.

I was checking out the official thread on GAF.I saw you also post there.Of course, I didn´t read those ~200 pages, but based on the little I saw, it looks like there are a fair number of people who also agree DS 1 is better.
Also, there´s the DS 2 downgrade debacle.The latest info there is that, the PC version will be heavily downgraded too 0_0
I understand people being up in arms about the PC version.What´s your take on all that?
