A set of 2014 role-playing releases have been discounted by an online retailer.
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.

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.”
The FFXIII and Symphonia price look good but dont have the cash right now. :(
As for DkS2 I am going to get the collectors edition for PC, and even though it is awesome I am not spending $170 on one game. I rented it and now all I want to do is play it. I thought it would cure my hunger but it just made me want to play it more, at least I got pretty much to the end so no spoilers at least
29.99 for Tales. But you have to pay an extra 10 bucks, with taxes included, to get it shipped. Better off just going to Gamestop.
Dark Souls II is so worth the full price, the game is massive, and awesome.
playing this shit at crazy levels! stoped to play a bit of titanfall, but than i came back for Darksouls II! For real, right now this is hands down the best game of 2014!
These prices would be good if I wasn't holding onto my money due to getting a PS4 next week :(
