From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

[DragoFireheart]

Here is the embedded launch trailer.



Amateurish at best. I guess none of the music they have for the game could cut it when it comes time to actually explaining stuff about the world and game.

holy shit that trailer is awful.

I did notice the lighting changes and it is sad but understandable for consoles but I belive it can be relatively easy to fix for the PC; just look al 6 year old games like Stalker that already had the options for static vs dynamic lighting so there should be the option for PC....pretty please

wow, decide what stats you don't need and pick the class with the low ones. much hard.

Seriously planning classes will be pretty much useless until we know all of the weapon/armor/magic requirements anyway.

Simple:

Raise Adaptability to soft cap.
Raise Endurance to 20-30.
Raise Vitality to be able to wear whatever you want.
Pick one: Str/Dex/Int/Fth
Level attu if you use magic.
Dump rest into Vigor.

 

[dunno lah]

lol what the hell kind of a trailer is that? It's like a music video parodying Dark Souls.

 

[Invictus]

First reviews are up and the one from Gamespot is particulary good.
We know that Namco Bandai must be pushing the game hard and hopefully the game sells good but that fucking rock music trailer is dreadful, I mean the PR people are going a little bit over the board.
I am picking up my copy tomorrow morning and super psyched about it!
Praise the sun!

 

[Heresiarch]

All the reviews are giving it 8.5-9.5's, and players are also universally praising it (along with the sun). I fucking can't wait for 1 month and 2 weeks!!!

 

[Kanedias]

PSN still won't let me download it.

Edit: Finally. And now, to wait the 2+ hours it's going to take to download.

 

[insukk]

Potato CD-Action gave it a 10/10, if that's worth anything. Also the reviewer stated, that the completed his first walkthrough in 56 hours.

 

[Nugs]

This is very fitting:

Wasn't PC supposed to be the leading platform for this game? Why is it on consoles already while PC version is coming in April? WHY?

Someone gave it a 1 , bioware trolling?

'
Dark Souls II is the pinnacle of Japanese propaganda on the west. This "game" undermines the Patriotic American Way and does not support our troops!. Ban this game with its Doom-esque satanic Japanese message. I feel sorry for all the Birrys playing this game just like final fantasy games.'

Gotta say the game truly looks like shit, even compared to DeS/DaS.

But I don't wanna start sounding like Skyway here, so it's still

Because things are always changing in game development.

I don't have a keen eye for this, but IMO bot the PS3 version of DS1 and 2 are very similar. 2 doesn't look more shittier than 1.
