"IGN has recently just shown a live demo for the upcoming game Dark Souls 2. Being a major fan of Dark Souls 1 and Demon’s Souls, I was very intrigued to see the direction Dark Souls 2 would take under a different director, whilst still being produced by the same developers, From Software.

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
something i want in DS2:
- Patch must come back and keep trolling
- Some good guy like Biorr or Solaire must have and spead his awesomeness thuoght the game
- Sthrow in a chick....
- .... and no, keep the love f*cking interest out of the Souls series, in the world when everyone will become insane sooner or late, love interest is just.... insane
- the-guy-who-sit-at-the-begin-o f-the-game-and-make-sure-the-pl ayer-will-going-insane-like-him ...ok, or i'll just call him crestfallen warrior for short must have, and buff him a little bit and put him at the start of the game to make sure that 1 miss-attack from noob player mean begin another new game
and the last one, this is personal, bring maiden in black back to this game, won't you?
