I said Usually Dumbed Down.  The vast majority of the time spent playing Dark Souls you are either Blocking with L1, or Attacking with R1.  Of course you could switch it up and make a spell build...and roll and cast instead...using two different buttons. 

Are there exceptions?  Yes...but the most viable builds are specialized. 

You played Dark Souls very differently from me. I'm tempted to say that you played it incorrectly, but I suppose there isn't really a 'wrong' way to play if you did indeed get through the game.

You should be using all of the tricks in the book in that game. Parry and get a few light attacks in, block the next attack, switch to two-handed and hit them hard, dodge roll out of the way of the next one... how did you fight Ornstein & Smough? With L1 and R1? You never used items while playing, either?


I ran around a pillar in their room lol 

I actually did half of a Poison Dagger only run too.



...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"
