Several new development photos have been revealed by Namco Bandai Games for their upcoming multiplatform action role-playing video game, “Dark Souls 2.”
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

The Nerd Stash: “Whether you’re here to gloat about your victories or to see what the fuss is about, we present to you the hardest bosses in the Souls series.”
awesome
Nice, I really can't wait!
I recently tried dark souls, and i do not like it. It just fell like their was no story. When i play a game with hardly any story, i need a coop mode or i get bored really fast. Dont get me wrong though, it had very good gameplay and does gloomy really well. I am sure for many it is a great game, i just know i would pick a game like the witcher 2 over it any day.
The game explains everything well enough if you pay attention
