Junkie Monkeys: There’s been a lot of unused content footage and newly leaked information coming in for Dark Souls II and the upcoming The Lost Crowns DLC that has fans scratching their heads. The question that people are asking now is whether the upcoming Dark Souls 2 DLC was already in the game or not. There is evidence that we (and others) have dug up that’s sure to raise some eyebrows. SPOILER WARNING!
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
Seems more like a case of content that was cut because it couldn't make the release window, but instead of scraping it they decided to make dlc out of it. I mean with SotC, there was data on up to 24 colossi.
On the fast travel menu there's one area hollowed out completely, bottom right hand corner, can't find screens for it
They dug up the files because the files came in the patch. That's why these "leaks" happened only now and not earlier.
Probably. Demons souls was a compete experience and showed they didn't need DlC. Dark Soul fell victim to the industry and said the same but put out dlc anyway with Hugh Hugh story details which was cut from the game. Wouldn't surprise me if they did the same here.
Luckily the creator of Demon's Souls is in control for Blood borne so you know it will be a complete experience with annual events like Demon's Souls had.
