Riding the elevator down from Undead Parish and realizing it was literally directly above Firelink Shrine in Dark Souls gave me the exact same feeling, of pieces falling into place. They let me navigate virtual spaces in the same way my brain navigates maps, exploring somewhere my physical body isn’t in an imperfect but still satisfying way. I crave that sense of place, the ability to look down on a map and know exactly where I am, the ability to mentally travel through an area and know that if I took a left turn here I’d end up at Ryders Lane a few miles down the way.Īnd really, games tap into something very similar. I did the same for Ithaca in college, sometimes on foot, sometimes down to the interiors of Cornell’s mazelike buildings. It strengthened my mental map of the area, and in a way it solidified a sense of place for me. When I first got my driver’s license back in high school, I would sometimes just take rides around C entral Jersey, purposely taking roads I’d never been down and feeling so cool when I popped out on the old road to my elementary school, or my local mall, or anywhere I’d been to a million times, but always from a different direction.

Personally, I like the soundtracks better before the HD remasters but it's still great quality music taken straight from the HD remixed games. They are the same songs (and then some) but I believe most were re-recorded with new arrangements. As an owner of both this Japan import and the HD remix release of 1.5 and 2.5's soundtrack, I'll point out that the music in the remasters sound a little different. If you are fan of the music than I'd say the set is totally worth it. My friend & I both bought it for each other last Christmas for $80. The first-person camera creates an even more realistic atmosphere, not without adrenaline. And if you get caught in front of them, you have to be ready to fight back, otherwise you will not see the sun again… Daytime is just the time to find weapons and other supplies. As the sun goes down, crowds of infected people take to the streets, which are better to avoid.
