More boss variety? Are you kidding me? Dark Souls had it perfectly.

Blastoise4114d ago

Except for the when the main bosses turned into regular enemies... Taurus Demon, Capra Demon, Pinwheel ect

Irishguy954114d ago

That's not what he means. He means more variety, and have nothing like Demons or Dark souls/

I don't really get him though I never got the sense that their was copying, Dark souls had it perfect.

m2stech4114d ago

I'd go with easier difficulty, map and less Japanese-like gameplay! :P

cornroves4114d ago

I'd say it leans more towards western gameplay, and the difficulty is one of there heaviest selling points...if it doesn't have a certain level of difficulty then you lose the rewarding experience when you succeed. Unless you are being sarcastic then ignore everything I just typed.

ovhaum4114d ago

Japanese-like gameplay??

Maybe you should try Kingdoms of Amalur or Dragons Dogma then... Because if all this features are included in Dark Souls II (Please GOD!! NO!) it would be a boring game.

specsmatter4114d ago

seriously. Souls gameply is perfect imo.

SolidDuck4114d ago

Easier difficulty? Jap gameplay? Your kidding right? The gameplay is perfect, and I hope it gets more difficult. It's nice having a game that tests my limits, when most games are so easy these days.

"I'd go with easier difficulty, map and less Japanese-like gameplay!"

Yes, because that worked a treat for Ninja Gaiden 3! SMH.

Tdmd4114d ago

Prehaps you'd go with a different franchise than.

fix...the....frame...rate...pl ease...

TheFirstClassic4114d ago

That was my biggest problem, Demon's Souls didn't have many framerate issues, but Dark Souls got really bad in some areas.

seanpitt234114d ago

Iam so looking forward to this game more so than any other apart from gta5 of course.

Louis_Guzman4114d ago

I am enjoying the smell of this...

The game isn't good though.

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.

CrimsonWing6951d ago

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.

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville51d ago

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.

I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!

qalpha138d ago

I used the Jungle Beat Bongos from my Gamecube

The_Hooligan138d ago

I just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

qalpha138d ago

All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
