EDGE: "There are a number of glossy printouts of Dark Souls II concept art lying on the table between us and Shibuya – the same images you’ll find illustrating this feature. With the formal interview concluded and our final minutes ticking away, we make one last push for information. Would Shibuya kindly give us a guided tour of the concept art before us so that we know what we’re looking at?"
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
I love the Souls series' artwork. There's some truly impressive stuff. I could look at it for hours
I love the Soul series period! I dont even mind the grinding in this game because the benefits and rewards are awesome. Every time i find a new armor i get this feeling of accomplishment and every time i learn a new magic i feel like im Merlin lol
By the way off topic "Merlin" the show is awesome too bad it h as ended.
the art work for Anor Londo is one of the most amazing images ive seen , the have some really talented people at From software
Dark Souls was in my opinion one of the best experiences of this generation. No other game gave me so much frustration, excitement and obsession as Dark Souls. As for number 2...I don't know if they can top that experience but the concept art is looking really good so far. I like the idea of the mad scientist and the black rider...this could be really cool if the don't over do everything.
Who put Necromorphs in my Dark Souls II?
