Just goes to show you, absolutely no hard-core game writers even know what an RPG is. Dark Souls is not one. In fact, it's not even an "Action w/ RPG elements". RPG = role-playing game, not amything set in a pseudo-medieval-like world. That's pretty much all Dark Souls is. AND it has some REALLY terrible design flaws. It's about as RPG as Rage. Nope, sorry, actioner, through and through, with some of the more annoying "platformer" concepts thrown in (like hard set save spots hours apart). Just about the only RPG "concept" is one of character improvement along choice paths. Other than not, nope, sorry, SO far from an RPG.
