Paul Verhoeven of MMGN: From Software want to see you suffer. In fact, that's exactly what players want, need and deserve from a good Souls experience. When the Prepare to Die DLC came out, every horrifying new surprise gave me a genuine rush. I WANTED to get spanked into the dirt. Forget Fifty Shades of Grey; Dark Souls is the ultimate sub/dom experience. Only, you know. With less nakey.
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.”
So its better than Sxe and pron??gotcha
So excited about this game...
I'm looking forward to this, I was a little worried about the "more accessable" comment but it sounds like it's just as challenging as usual.
I'm curious as to what the sorcerer plays like, do they still use the limited spell use of Dark Souls, or an MP bar?
Dual swordsman sounds interesting too, but if I can eventually dual wield with any character, I'll probably use the others, depends on if it gets anything unique.
So has Paul Verhoeven stopped making films? lol
I cant wait for Dark Souls 2, fantastic games, theyre full of gameplay, I bet ive invested nearly 1000 hours into Demons Souls/Dark Souls
Games I feel are catered just for me
Im going PC version this time, if it was on Ps4 I would get it for PS4.
