I can see why people like it, don't get me wrong. But it just wasn't organic enough for me. It was just too stiff. That was the main issue I had with it and it's a big enough issue for me to not find it enjoyable. Pac-man's ghost AI is better hidden than Dark Soul's enemies.
Also hitting red eyes, running away to where he stops chasing you because his AI is crap, waiting for him to go back to where he was because his AI is crap, and hitting him again etc, is not player skill, it's just poor AI. Hiding in a little hole in the wall to kill the spider boss because it can't hit you there is also poor AI. It's not like these are things that you even have to go out your way to do. You're naturally going to attack red eyes and then run away like hell and panicking and hiding in a hole is a pretty normal response for when giant spider things attack you.
