Yes. Very good. Just yesterday killed a black knight like it was nothing(on my second try mind you) Then killed a invader after a long and hard fought battle with him. It was -blam!-ing great. Might seem like nothing to you guys, but I'm just happy I'm getting better at the game. Anyways, just prepare to die. A LOT. But it is a really good game. I just suggest asking people for advice or looking up some beginner tips for the game. That's how I got a bit better at the game. Oh, and master parrying and backstabbing. It will help. A lot.
