Forbes: If Dark Souls were an 80′s cartoon, this would be it.
YouTube user veselekov has created something truly brilliant with the above video—it’s basically Dark Souls meets Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
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
loooool....that was brilliant.
And...subscribed.
Off topic...
I might be getting alittle too dramatic here, but I really think Dark Souls can save the gaming industry... Solid gameplay (so good, it's like "f*** the visuals). Decent graphics. Respects the players intelligence. And most of all, relatively LOW development budget.
If developers/publishers realize you can make a solid game without pumping wads of cash into it. We might see less layoffs
This is amazing. Imagine if from software made DLC like this for dark souls II, i would totally buy that.. it would be similar to what blood dragon was to far cry 3.
Love it.
