Dark Souls II impressions - Prepare to Die Harder (2D-X)

From Software's Dark Souls sequel is headed to PC, PS3, and Xbox 360...sometime in the future. There's no release date, but there are plenty of juicy gameplay details.

I think the top left corner where it used to show humanity now shows your covenant. This game looks great, here's to hoping I can get that ninja turtle armour.

RedSoakedSponge4020d ago

so does that mean that humanity is now out of the game?

humanity was an interesting idea.

RedSoakedSponge4019d ago

DemonSlayer4204020d ago

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.

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.

MrBaskerville57d 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 just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

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