      I’m a Dark Souls vet (been playing since the Japanese PS3 days) & have been enjoying it. There seem to be a lot of newcomers on-line. I’ve been playing low level cooperative & am happy to say that I’ve not met any of the notorious trolls/griefers that the other console versions have been known for. All should give it a try.

      I've only had one problem while being invaded early on in my first time playing through Undead Burg yesterday. A guy using a weapon from way later in the game (I forget the actual name of it but, it's a giant's weapon that you can get) He would be able to hit me with it while not being close to me at all. I was still able to pull through and beat him tho. I feel it was from internet connection and not the game itself. This was followed by another invader who killed himself by rolling off the edge haha. But, the game works and plays great and I feel it was woth the wait. I'm taking my time with it this time. I just killed the hydra but, since then I have had no frame rate drops or anything else people are saying have happened.

      @P R Or perhaps that kind of thing just doesn't matter to me. I'm no audiophile that nitpicks over every sound byte. Nor am I of the PC Master Race that believes consoles are forever inferior. The Switch version is perfect in my eyes, regardless of whatever differences there are in the audio due to my lifestyle. Mainly because of the insane hours that I have to work just to keep a roof over my family's head and food on our table. So, yes. The Switch is VERY appealing to me because of the portability aspect. Certainly can't play literally anywhere from my computer or TV based consoles.

      Don't buy this version, buy the console or PC version. This one runs at 30 fps and sometimes dips to 10fps. It looks worse and runs terrible on the Switch. Online runs sluggish as well even while paying for the service. A PS4 from 2013 can run the game at 60 fps maxed graphics for the same or cheaper price.

      @@MrPeach1 I think I started getting invaded at about level 35. Perhaps it's because I spent a lot of time farming first in the Darkroot Garden (where the human opponents are). Then at level 50+ soul farming in Anor Londo (because I couldn't beat the boss). I'm absolutely terrible at PVP and this game in general, and have lost all matches.

    I think the Switch version is for newcomers to the series or if you just want to play it portable. I've never played a Dark Souls game & I'm very much enjoying it on Switch, Is it the most optimum version of the game? No. But it definitely plays really great & is enjoyable. Sound quality is fine.

      Josiah Ferrell the voices from the NPCs do sound a little muffled. But I’ve never played the original so honestly I can’t compare ether the voices are improved or not. But many people are complaining about the sound being worse so the only thing that would make sense is the voices which to me it’s not that big of deal. Cause the sound in the atmosphere still sounds good even down to the foot steps.
