14 Times Video Games Blatantly Cheated With The Player

Dark Souls – Ornstein and Smough

Dark Souls is already a difficult game, which we’ve talked about quite a bit in the past, and though the core conceit of the series relies on it remaining fair to the player, the match against the towering Ornstein and Smough throws that out the window in a few ways. First is the simple fact that the game is asking you to take on a 2 versus 1 match with a combat system which is designed to track a single foe at a time, heightening the already stressful encounter. Should you have the brilliant idea of trying to kill the two simultaneously as well, a rather reasonable strategy one would assume, Dark Souls simply won’t allow it, and one will immediately return to full health upon killing the other.
