GameZone writes, "Well this is a strange turn of events. Namco released an all new trailer for Dark Souls II; however something else caught our eye. It happens so quick that you might miss it. Apparently the game's ESRB rating is T for Teen, which is strange, considering Dark Souls and Demon's Souls both have an M rating attached to them. Should this call for concern?"
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.

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
As long as the difficulty is still there, it can be rated whatever it wants.
the european PEGI for Dark Souls got a '16' for 16 years of age thats just the same as T so i wouldnt worry. theres nothing really to justify a M or 18 rating anyway, so.. :')
We know this site's standard is really really low, but this time they have set a new bottom, even on their ultra stupid record.
FFS... The T rating refers only to the trailer!
Are you really so despaired for clicks since can't do anything even close to intelligent, useful or informative?
no concerns here. If you're playing Souls for titties, you have problems lol
Color me confused. That's definitely an ESRB rating symbol with descriptors, but the ESRB site doesn't have the game list yet: http://www.esrb.org/ratings...
The first two games earned their M rating in violence alone, so I would be shocked if this were true.
