Nothing says Happy Holidays more than the family all gathering around a crackling fire to read about the latest PC specs for an upcoming game. However, this is no ordinary game, but the third outing for the deliciously difficult co-op title; Dark Souls 3. Does your rig have what it takes to be punished?
