Now that you have played Dark Souls 2 and died a few thousand times, you are ready for the first of three DLC packs that have been announced for Dark Souls 2. Crown of the Sunken King leads off the trilogy by adding a few new zones, a whole host of new puzzles, and more enemies that are looking to thoroughly thrash you. Bringing into the depths of a sunken temple, you will wade through the ruins of a monarch long dead finding new powerful gear and clever traps that are challenging to get beyond and rewarding when you do. Read on to hear my take in this opening DLC for Dark Souls 2, the Crown of the Sunken King downloadable content.
Ross loves Souls games. Admittedly, he got on the train a little late: He's never played Demon’s Souls and he Dark Souls II and III queued up, ready to go. However, from Dark Souls and Bloodborne, undoubtedly two of the strongest of the five in the franchise, here's what he believes about the franchise's method of telling stories.
There's a story in SoulsBorne games? I know I offended a lot of people just now but the "story" in those kinds games always went over my head and I never gave a shit.
It's always been the combat and gameplay that made me a fan of the Souls series.
There's a big difference between not caring about it and denying its existence.
Nobody gets upset about the former, but the latter is just stupidity at its finest.
Which is why the way the present the story works in this rare instance. It's meant for the gameplay but if you want to know the story or backstory/lore/characters all that information is easily at your fingertips if you take 5 minutes to look but it's okay if you don't want too and want to slaughter demons
Yeah but having g a story would Complete the package. How can anyone claim having a coherent story would not add value to the soul games is beyond me.
There not the rype of game that needs narrative driving it via cuscenes and missions. Its subtle story telling
Played 2/5ths of the games. Come back when you've finished your homework.
"He's never played Demon’s Souls and he (has)* Dark Souls II and III queued up, ready to go."
C-
Of all the wonderful Dark Souls DLC's, which on stands out the most?
I'd rather have a new original game that stands on its own like Demon's Souls and Bloodborne.
Despite being widely considered the worst souls game, Dark Souls 2 easily has the best DLC by far.
Overall, the Lost Kings trilogy of DLC is a fantastic addition to the Souls‘ series and in many ways, both outshines the core game and makes returning to it more enjoyable and richer, both in terms of loot that can be used, and lore that fills in missing story.
