Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin includes the three previously released DLC packs – Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King, and Crown of the Ivory King – along with additional features. If you haven’t taken the plunge, the time is now!
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I want to appreciate Dark Souls II on the same level as its predecessor, Demon's Souls, or Bloodborne. Yet every time I open myself up to the possibility, my hopes are dashed by small design quirks that eventually add up to a sum of infuriating disappointment. How can a game that improves on the past in so many intriguing ways be held back by issues that never previously existed? Why does Dark Souls II seem to sabotage any sense of enjoyment it creates, just out of sheer spite against the player? Was this conduct on behalf of the developers justifiable in some way – and possibly even necessary? Prepare to quaff some Estus and burn an effigy or two in our likenesses, for we journey once again to the land of Drangleic."
Dark Souls tweets: "PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services.
Servers for Dark Souls: PtDE will join them shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience."
With Christmas just around the corner, we’re approaching the last chance saloon when gamers are panicking over what gifts to get friends, loved ones or even themselves.
So we’ve scoured the internet for some of the best gaming deals, for less than £10, so you can be certain to fill those stockings with some top quality gaming goodies.
I think this might just be my next game purchase. Definitely sounds like the way to get into Dark Souls.
I love this game, im so hooked, cant stop playing.
The durability is less on this version, but its not a problem at all, im over halfway through my first run and i only had one cheap sword break in the beginning of the game, and the fact you get so many weapons and access you storage box at every bonfire. Also when at a bonfire it repairs everything that isnt completely broken, repair powder and the blacksmith repair completely broken items. If you don't go hog wild hitting walls and dead enemies you dont have to worry about it.
