I'm tired of beating my head against the wall in Dark Souls 1, does anyone have any suggestions to help me beat the Four Kings?

Wear Havel's armor. You can find it in Anor Londo. Doesn't matter if you can't roll in it, just tank everything and spank them.

I can try that, any suggestions for my weapon? I'm currently using the Claymore but I have a good chunk of the weapons available to me at the moment including the Demon Machette.

DPS is the only thing that matters for the 4 kings. Zweihander works pretty well for it, but you should probably have pretty high level weapons at this point.

Have you gone back to the Asylum yet?

Oh! And remember to upgrade your armor at the various smiths.

I've been upgrading my kit, I have all but one(?) Ember and I've been interspacing my attempts with the Kings with trying to get Slabs from Darkwraiths.

There's a guaranteed slab from the Stray Demon in the Asylum, though you don't need it for upgrading your armor.

Is the problem not being able to kill them fast enough? They are kind of weak to lightning so you can try to upgrade your weapon to have it, though, imo be hyper agressive, a normal boss would punish you for it but the four kings individually don't do that much damage and the closer you are to them the less damage they'll do with most of their attacks(watch out for the grab tho) so you can afford to go as ham as possible in the hopes of killing them before the next comes up.

Defensively speaking, magic resistant stuff will save you, like the crest shield from oscar, and again, sticking to them to take less damage and have less chances of being targeted by an actual spell, if you're into int then great magic shield does the same job, except way better.

Recently watched Maxor's Pirate Yakuka In Hawaii video. It looks just as unhinged as I remember the game being, but now that I've seen it again, I kind of want a story (or just another game) that focuses on the sort of psychotic world where you just roam around in a heavily armed vehicle recruiting homeless people into an army.

Actually, I remember when the Saints Row Remake came out, I wrote a premise for a story that basically went "Yeah, this game looks like trash, but I like the idea of a setting where the entire world just kind of accepts things like the third-street saints doing whatever they want."
The premise at the start of the game is just a heist on a payday loan place to get rent money.
Just a group of four absolute fucking losers deciding to start a street-gang and somehow the police are absolutely powerless to stop them.

It's not even just a matter of personal power or charisma or whatever. It's just that... warrants for your arrest seem to canonically expire after like 20 minutes and you can just do crimes with your face visible on 30 diffrent cameras and more-or-less live completely outside the law and then not really bother hiding from the police, and they won't do anything about it.

It's a world where nobody takes anything seriously, so you getting into a gunfight with cops and putting a bunch of policemen in bodybags somehow doesn't result in a state-wide manhunt that doesn't end until you're dead or in cuffs.

I just love the idea of "Fuck it, I've decided to build an army. I've sourced a comically small amount of startup capital and we're just going to go pay hobos one beer each to join our pirate crew."

I guess Mount & Blade is kind of like that. You just roll up in some bumfuck village and be like "Yo, i'm building an army. Any man who can hold a spear, come with me. I'll have you kill a couple of people until you can be promoted into a veteran warrior and then we'll conquer the world." and an endless supply of expendable young men will just leap at the chance.
