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.

Wow, Animal Crossing did that good?
Not a fan of the franchise, personally, but that's still impressive.
I wonder if this will convince Nintendo that they need a new Animal Crossing for Wii U?
It depends on how well the first one does on the Xbox One, and how well the Xbox One does by the time Titanfall 2 is even announced.
Of course it won't. Com on, put two and ttogethter; It is published by a large publisher like EA. I have both systyems but I will definitely get the sequel for XB1 due to me having paid for Live already and love the speed of the network thus far.
I doubt that Titanfall 2 will stay X1 exclusive. EA will not let additional profit to fly away like nothing..
Exclusive to xb1 and pc is already a contradiction.
