Amazon is currently offering a modest discount towards the pre-orders for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of “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.
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
Praise the sun
Demons and dark are very similar, I think people say demons is harder cause it was there first souls experience. If u were to play dark first u would prob feel it was more difficult. There both excellent cant wait for dark souls 2.
Strange. Not only do I not see a discount on the amazon page, but it also lists the release date as December 31st. It was my understanding that Dark Souls II wasn't being released until March 2014. Have things changed?
The Ps4 and Xbox One versions will come after a certain time. I'm pretty sure about this... and they will look better than Xbox 360/PC and Ps3. So no preordering for me now...
I wonder if I should get the PS3 version.... naturally, I'd prefer PC, but online is worthless on PC due to all the hacking.
