Dark Souls 1 made the genre what it is today, but does the sequel come close to topping it? PC Aficionado thinks it comes close!
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."
With Christmas just around the corner, we’re approaching the last chance saloon when gamers are panicking over what gifts to get friends, loved ones or even themselves.
So we’ve scoured the internet for some of the best gaming deals, for less than £10, so you can be certain to fill those stockings with some top quality gaming goodies.
This game is immense and plays amazingly at 1080p 60fps.
The article is a good read.
The PS4 release of DS2 Scholar of the First Sin with 1080p 60fps was a breath of fresh air for this franchise. Don't get me wrong Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are excellent games but they were 720p and were not 60fps. Yes, graphics are nice but when you play action games 60fps or better make the game much more enjoyable.
An interesting feature of DS2 Scholar of the First Sin is the capability of clearing an area which actually stops excessive grinding and depending on how you play, this can be a plus or a minus.

Demon's souls deserves a little bit more respect bruh.
Scholar of the First Sin was actually my favorite Dark Souls. I still love 1 and 3.
