Namco Bandai and From Software have released a new batch of screenshots of Dark Souls II showing the character creation and some of the classes.
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
Twelfth screenshot: Ballerina Rats Confirmed.......
Oh wow, haha, that looks so bad.
And people really believed the bullshots and "target" renders they had been posting.
The game does not looks very good even for current gen... What is up with that? It is 2014 after all.
A popular Youtuber,VaatiVidya said the game looks pretty good and considering he has played the PC version of Dark Souls modded I doubt it looks to bad. The videos I watched on his channel all looked pretty good(high quality considering they were 1080p above native 720p). I highly suggest those who think the visuals are poor check out his channel.
The game is not about graphics anyway and if you think it is you have been on the wrong platform all last gen and even this one.
haha this and deep down looks worse and worse everytime I see it. Dark souls 1 looked better... why are people even considering to buy it in the first place? All games made by the japanese are crap compared to western games!
