Namco Bandai - "We thoroughly apologize for all of the confusion and issues. We will be rescheduling the Network Test for another date."
"Attention Dark Souls II Testers! It seems that North and South American players will not be able to log into the servers for this test."
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.

Bummer. Hope it gets worked out so everyone can make it a bug free balanced launch.

I am so pissed I tried for over an hour! Shit happens but an email or PSN message would've been nice. Oh well, at least it'll be rescheduled, can't wait to wait ha ha... Thank goodness for N4G and our great community that keeps us informed.
That sucks.
