Demon's Souls was much more bossfightey in my opinion, many more cheap tricks than in Dark Souls.

honestly maybe ds2 with K&M is better for multiplayer, I cant know until I try it. I tend to play singleplayer games with controller unless they require aiming or mousework.

but I will defend my saying that owning a controller even as a PC gamer is an essential. so you can play certain games reclining on your couch/bed, there will always be some games better suited to controller without debating which you surely agree that that is true. when occulus rift comes out, you will want a controller anyway.

plus "£40" for controller, are you high? the official M$ ones are 20 squid, pretty sure I got mine yonks ago for 15.

Have so far run into instant poison fog magic, oneshot magics all around, and almost no "pure" melee players, just buffbots. Life is hard as a dex build in DS2, seems you wont get nowhere without some form of buff or magic.

DKS 2 new PvP meta is sadly full magic / magic buffed builds ...

And double Avelyn builds that can kill full Havel with 2k HP if a few of the bolts hit. Since the xbows have been buffed (too much) at targeting you can't simply dodge them all.

haha mundane avelyns are insane. Unfortunately its true PVP requires magic now, either in buffings or just casting. Buffs being the stronger build imo.

Full caster build is currently OP as fuck, but it is just so fucking boring to end a game with a 1 shot spell. Pure melee is where the fun of PvP is, not some "Harry Potter" running around drinking Old Spice all day.

Spells are so easy to dodge though, and can be punished with backstab mostly.

Ofc. but when you got the scumbags in duels waiting with a hex / AOE damage around the next corner or using pyromancer spells it gets really tiresome. And with the new roll animation invincibility frames, it takes some time to learn the new dodge time, or just get tons of AGI / Adapt, which is sort of like waste tbh. like resistance.

PVP is garbage in general, even with region lock its just giant lagfest, so who cares honestly.
Mods compatible with cRPG. New crosshairs, textures, sounds, yay.

The lag isnt that bad most of the time, i can reliably dodge stuff most of the time.
