OXM:
Sadly, mankind has not yet invented a device which can suitably erase memories. Or if we have it's been used on us and we've forgotten already. Our point is that when you've learned something, whether that be a disgusterous rumour about a colleague's photocopier antics, or that the lovely meal you've just eaten while at a posh restaurant is actually made of sea lion testicles, you can't unlearn it. With that in mind, an Xbox One re-do of Dark Souls II could only ever be a quick dip into a world we've already picked clean, right? Wonderfully, that is not the case. Developer From Software has worked magic to ensure that even those most experienced in the convolutions and conundrums of Drangleic will most definitely want to book a return ticket.
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I want to appreciate Dark Souls II on the same level as its predecessor, Demon's Souls, or Bloodborne. Yet every time I open myself up to the possibility, my hopes are dashed by small design quirks that eventually add up to a sum of infuriating disappointment. How can a game that improves on the past in so many intriguing ways be held back by issues that never previously existed? Why does Dark Souls II seem to sabotage any sense of enjoyment it creates, just out of sheer spite against the player? Was this conduct on behalf of the developers justifiable in some way – and possibly even necessary? Prepare to quaff some Estus and burn an effigy or two in our likenesses, for we journey once again to the land of Drangleic."
Dark Souls tweets: "PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services.
Servers for Dark Souls: PtDE will join them shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience."
