Dark Souls II

[vipere]

I finally bought the game ( i cracked it first but after i finished the game, i wanted to try the multi + got spare money for it )

I have lags in like 60% of the fights,and it seems like its not my connexion but the servers.

When i play the coop its playable (well, some enemies are bugged and wait like 3 sec to attack us...), but in invasion or pvp arenas its so annoying, i try to dodge, but i get hit like 1 sec before or after...

there are no servers, it's either your connection, enemies connection or just the distance

I picked up Valdis Story recently.

It's holding me over for now as it's the same sort of design as the Souls series, which itself is a 3D Metroidvania. You have two characters to start with, and what looks like two more after they've been unlocked. It looks like it has three skill trees per character per archetype: STR, AGI, INT.

If you like 2D, pixel-art, and don't mind the super-deformed/weaboo-ish/Bastion-ish style art the combat is fun and fast paced. The only issues I've had so far was remapping the 'dash' button from the default dpad-down and the areas where if you fail a platforming part it dumps you into a pit you have to climb out of and try again.

Yup, totally same sort of design, dark and gritty TPP with awesome melee combat.

Don't just take it out of context.

The atmosphere itself isn't Souls-ish but it is about humanity on it's last leg.

Design wise I meant you explore, pressing forward and sometimes you wander around a bit looking for extra goodies, except with more 2D oriented jumping and dashing platform puzzles. The combat is also about learning an enemies patterns, especially with the bosses, and dealing with them appropriately.

If you liked Castlevania post NES/SNES or Super Metroid then this is in a similar vein; what I was saying earlier is the Souls' games are in the same sort of genre, just 3D. I picked it up cheap in a GOG sale bundle and have been enjoying myself so far.

Another dark souls song, unfortunately not as good as the previous one. I dont feel the Dark souls in it at all, and its way too slow, if it increased the tempo in the middle a slow start couldve worked but it was just draaaaaaawn out.

Wtf did he just write a whole book, what is this? Read to and from, seems like he got very in depth and thoroughly played through it. 300-400 hours on the first one, thats more than i played it and i loved it :O

Hes probably the bundle of sticks who likes to have everything and every detail explained to him.

Actually, I dont understand one thing of what he is trying to say.

He got raped in multiplayer battles and now he whines about losing due to connection.

Basically he's criticizing Dark Souls 2 for not being a book.
