The first boss in the game accidentally fell off the platform.
GOTY
sounds exactly what i'd expect

reading the review of this is painfull, i've read a gamespot review of DKC:TF that called the game cheap but when it comes to this it's "THIS GAME IS HARD AND AMAZING"
i've read on another review that everytime you die you lose some max health up to the point where you only have half of your health bar,this is the kind of frustating bullshit-kick in the ball of the players that makes me not wanting to do anything with the game and scream at the people acting like this game is made of unicorn farts and i know it would be like this because the original dark souls is full of frustating bullshit-kick in the ball of the players
if this was another game it would be a big deal but since it's dark souls, the game with the obnoxious fanbase that only plays HARD games for HARDcore players, it's no biggie
</spergrant>
EDIT:
Most significantly of all, enemies eventually stop respawning. This serves two purposes: shutting down soul farming, and removing the frustration of making a mistake against a grunt you’ve already killed a dozen times on the well-travelled route from bonfire to boss
yeah this is how i would have opened the review "ehy guys! backtracking to a boss when you die is now slightly less chorish"
