Dark Souls players, you have my awe.  I do not know how you do it.  Truly.  I have tried to play both Dark Souls I & II and got so frustrated within 15 minutes that my controller was in imminent danger of being lodged in my TV.  That’s the reputation the Dark Souls series has built for itself, built a huge following off of: unrelenting difficulty and little to no handholding whatsoever.  Dark Souls III promises to be the most difficult game in the series yet.  Perhaps the packaging is bound in chains with a combination lock.  Maybe you’ll have to fight someone at your local Game Stop just to see if you’re worthy of picking up your pre-order.  I don’t know HOW they could get harder, but they do look fantastic.  I will be playing Quantum Break, which is my pick so far for 2016 GOTY, but I salute all you Dark Souls punishment lovers who will be starting the game this Tuesday, April 12, 2016.  Below is your complete achievement list, courtesy of THE site on the net for cheevo hunting: xboxachievements.com.  Best of luck.  You’ll need it.
