RPGamer: "Dark Souls 2 has remained hidden in the shadows ever since it was announced, but some new fragments of information about the highly anticipated game have come to light."
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.
And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.
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.”
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!!!
All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
please go next gen!
Being that my favorite game this generation is Demon's Souls followed very closely by Dark Souls, I have high hopes for this game. However, if what I'm reading is true, I'm getting extremely nervous. It seems like they want this game to be completed by any and everybody, which is not good for true fans like myself. It never bodes well when a developer screws the fans that got them to where they are at for fans that may never even give two shits about their game. From Software and more specifically, Namco Bandai, should worry about the fans that supported them since Demon's Souls. This is one game that shouldn't be changed in my opinion. It should be expanded upon and improved, not butchered to cater to people who aren't even fans.
i do hope this is a aprils fool joke, honestly....
I actually fell for it up to the black phantom carrying pink balls of yarn. I lol'd hard and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time
thank goodness its fake...
