Dark Souls II

It's DaS1 related but still, pretty damn funny.

In the beta you had an item, that let you regain casts after using them, so i wonder, is this an item that made it into the final game?

The herbs.

Dark souls 2 critique


Summary of the video:

• Dark souls 2 is more difficult than the first one in all the wrong reasons.

• They messed up stuff they already did right in the previous souls games.

• The plot is overly complex unlike previous games.

I don't like watching those kinda things before i form my own opinion, so i'd rather say what i think, when it release in two hours

That's it. After playing for 200+ hours, I'm done. I tried to like it, truly. I was fucking excited before and even a bit after the release.I'm just glad I didn't have the money at the time to buy the collectors edition. More akin to shitty fanfiction then a proper souls game.

I got DS2 from the local Pirate Bay Shopping channel since I refuse to board the ship S.S. Hypetrain and then forced to walk down the plank and fall into sea of Dissapointment, Crushed Hopes and Lies after i paid for my ticket to board the bloody thing.

I didn't reach full hour before i decided to put the game down...

Main reason.

The game feels Sluggish.

Shield raises so long that it makes using one obsolete and you get stabbed before you can raise it.

I played first DS just to double check it and it was instant compared to DS2.

Ill give it another try later, but don't have much hopes on it.

>People seriously getting butthurt over Dark Souls II

It was an excellent game. This is pathetic the way some people are viewing DaS2 as some massive disappointment. Sure, it may have had a few minor flaws but very few games come without flaws.

IT is a GOOD game. It can still piledrive you through the ground in direct express to hell and there is nothing else on the market like that.

But is it as good as Dark Souls 1? That I AM doubting.

Here is The Rageaholic.

I would recommend watching Matthews' critique of it to get a better understand of why it suffers instead of that. It's a more serious and detailed discussion.



The three main problems I have with the game has to do with the enemies. They are far too many groups of them which forces you to either attack them head on or circle around and that gets boring after a while, they have too much tracking and seems to never run out of stamina. Albeit now later through in-game I am seeing less enemies with infinite stamina and the tracking seems less severe.

Except that I'm having a blast. With already 8 hours of playtime after just two days.

K. I'll check it out.

Still, the input delay sucks ass.

I never noticed any input delay. It seemed fine to me.

I do since i tend to block with shield then punish the miscreants with my sword for even trying to attack me.

I pretty much dual-wielded the whole game so the only thing I did was dodge. I don't really remember missing a dodge due to input delay though.

Maybe.

But i did play Dark Souls 1 after I Dark Souls 2 to check if the shield was that slow.

Everything seems faster

Well, it's not a huge deal either way. I did use a shield for one boss and I didn't have any problems.

In DaS I used the ninja flip ring so it was definitely faster but I got used to not having that kind of mobility in DaS2.

Dark Souls 1 has a much, much better roll by default as well as any healing effects not gradually restoring the health in a regenerating fashion but being instant. The shitty roll in Dks2 really rustled my jimmies at first but going straight to the excuse of button delay is quite something.

It's not a input delay, it's the new agility skill. Makes all your actions faster.

Now thats one stat that was put just to annoy...

Hey at least it's better than resistance.
