That game makes me to -blam!-ing cry myself to sleep. I played and completed all the othe dark souls games and this is the one that is actually quite unfair. Nasty hit detection, no actual poise, and you pretty much have to level adaptability for your roll to have more than -10 i frames. The enemies are not even that hard to predict or learn, they just have a bunch of hyperarmor and come in multiples of 9 billion.
