Dark Souls II

[IR_Kuoin]

It's mindboggling that some people already watched streams of other people playing through entire DS2. More than a month to the actual release and they have spoiled everything for themselves.

It is out in Japan and NA, two days until we get it in EU

You're talking about consoles, I meant the actual release.

I'll admit, I never played anything from the Dark Soul franchise, but I'm excited for this.

Well you should, the first one is going to be the best one.

Isn't Demon Souls the first one really? Also, seeing how they took a great formula from Demon Souls and polished it with Dark Souls, I think Dark Souls 2 is probably going to be an improvement. In any case it will be an improvement for me because it is properly supported on PC, at least I hope.

It better is, 6 weeks after the console release >.>

I have all faith in From Software though, it'll be good.

the first (two?) were not made for PC, so I think I'll be just fine starting with DS2

Ok the "port" is already out for console, happy now?

Im playing it currently on the PS3, Its great and all but I went a STR build and Im not really enjoying it.

In Dark Souls you had the Claymore/Man-Serpent Greatsword which I loved but now all I find are ULTRA greatswords which I FUCKING HATE. They're large, incredible slow and not my style. Kinda annoyed, thinking I shoulda gone dex. You can respec ONCE per character but I already used it like a derp earlier on when I screwed up.

They also got a new stat called Adaptability, and Pyromancy now scales off INT so it's not OP anymore. What else.....I really like the enviroments, some of the mobs are really annoying - more so than Dark Souls.

Personally love heavy weapons going full STR with only Vitality and Endurance, no magic bullshit.

I played Demon's Souls first (back when it was fedora underground), then Dark Souls (on PS3) and retrospectively I think had the best experience with Demon's Souls. Not by much, though. What I'm saying is that they have about the same difficulty and the first one you play is inevitably going to be the hardest one to beat, for you.

Demon Souls was the best because it was so fresh and new back then. Me and a friend would play it 10-12 hours ish every weekend when we were hungover, it was great fun 

Also, I never understood people that go full str or use these huge ass swords, its such a boring playstyle

I was planning on doing what I did with the first Dark Souls, ultra-greatsword with fast-roll. I liked one-shotting most mobs and the feeling of weight was great, especially the heavy attack.

I just think BSS - rapiers - longswords were a much more fun playstyle! But everyone to their self I guess 

I think I will do  spear / halberd / lance in 2 handed mode in DS2, with lots of points into this new stat that boosts your agility. Blah, why do we have to wait so long..

I will go sorcery this time around. I've been starting with faith centered builds a lot and every time it degenerates into 100% meleeing.
