Dark Souls II

If your not going to play the game dont complain about the graphics. The souls series combine atmosphere with graphics to make areas amazing, not high poly counts or w/e. Cant believe people care at all about graphics in CRPG forums 

Crysis or no deal huh.

Is it worth to play with an ultra greatsword +buffed?Is it any good on pvp or everyone can dodge easly it's slow-loris attacks?

There are ways to work around the slow swings, just never spam and focus on getting running attacks (i havent tried but ive seen som pvp footage using it) it works but a buffed up washing pole is better in most ways. Regular greatswords are pretty good though.

More like "Even the standard textures look pretty crappy - are we still in 2008?"

Textures are quite high resolution. DSII is missing more shader magic, some nicely looking foliage, more polygons everywhere, better lighting effects. Stuff like that. But textures aren't an issue.

God damnit, I can't wait to make a build and do some PvP. Give me my cd-key now!

I love the game, but the letterboxing is cringeworthy at best.

Having a great time, pvp is great too. Exept all the ganks you run into when you invade  also, lots of healers, but I guess thats to be expected.

Rocking the belltower atm

Personally planning on finishing the last boss before doing PvP just to get unlimited mats and stuff for upgrades, or go ng+ before I do. If I can manage to rush the PVE

No idea what the fuck I'm doing but I played for a little bit and it doesn't seem too bad. I found some bundle of sticks sitting on the ground whining about a statue blocking some lever he wanted to pull to open a door, but I hit him and then he wanted to fight me, so I kicked his ass and got his huge sword, something like "Bluemoon Greatsword". Had to use a few healing crystal things and I keep accidentally pushing the wrong keys so I've wasted some, leaving me with about 4 lol.

So waiting for my damn cd-key I went and made a little Steam group so we can all coordinate / announce duels or fightclubs. Would be cool to actually get some duels or fightclubs down. On the Prepare to Die we were all really lazy with setting anything up

God, the PC port is just so.. crappy. I wish they'd have made a bit more effort. "Press A to accept"

Actually why is this game supposedly good? All I see is some of the worst design through out. Pretty much every aspect of this game is from a 1995s PS1 game. Combat as well.

Just spent a good hour reading up on the lore of Dark Souls, pretty neat, I must say. Never bothered to buy a controller and couldn't drag myself through the entirety of Dark Souls with mouse and keyboard. Hopefully I will be able to put Dark Souls 2 in perspective now.

Also, does anyone still believe they developed DS 2 with PC as the main platform? It honestly feels as a straight up insult to me as a potential customer that the menus show Xbox buttons. Was gonna buy it but they just delivered me a solid reason not to.

I dont see how that is such a big problem, but if people complain i believe they will probably patch in actual keyboard buttons.

Whats wrong with the design/combat? I thought both were great, beats pretty much anything to date.
