The SpawnFirst staff got together and named some of their favorite games of 2014 so far.
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.”
The Stick of Truth was really damn good.
My personal favorites so far have been:
1) inFamous: Second Son
2) Goat Simulator
3) South Park: The Stick of Truth
4) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
5) Destiny of Spirits
6) MLB 14: The Show
7) Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
My top 3 so far are Titanfall, South Park and Outlast. Sure Outlast came out last year on PC, but this year on consoles so it's cool.
Its clearly Titanfall the biggest game changer in FPS's since modern warfare , who needs narrative when you have the most robust multiplayer experience out there. And lets not forget the revolutionary bots all possible because of microsofts omnipotent cloud.
Battlefield 4 DLC lol
Kidding :D
