My 9yr old son finished the game today!
I'm not quite there yet. It has been a bit disconcerting. He started after me, has never played a souls game before and I was giving him tips you begin with, then he started giving me tips and has whizzed past me.
wow that is amazing but kids do get patterns down on enemies in games a lot easier than us oldies, at that age i was playing r-type lol
