Bandai Namco has revealed the official PS3, Xbox 360 and PC packshot for the standard and Black Armour Edition for Dark Souls II
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

The Nerd Stash: “Whether you’re here to gloat about your victories or to see what the fuss is about, we present to you the hardest bosses in the Souls series.”
I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!
All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
I'd tap that.
Anyone got some good retailers from the UK? Going to have to be PS3/PC...erring towards the PS3 since I had Demon's Souls and Dark Souls on it, plus it's a nice way to send off my console.
I got this game pre ordered but i don't think im gona have the funds to go through with the purchase on release..shit i'm gon have to sell some stuff or something.
Is the PC version releasing on march 11 too? I thought it was supposed to be delayed a little at some point
I dont know if I want to get armoured physical PC version from UK which actaully saves me 10$ or get the PS3 of armoured and add it to my PS3 library
I think I can get it cheaper for digital PC. I just know I am getting me a physical copy eventhough the PC version is kind of useless.
Decisions... decisions
I pre-ordered the physical PC black armour edition for only 36.25€
I finally decided to get the game for PC as it was cheaper than the PS3 version, and it will probably look better (And I was recently gifted a PS4, so I want to avoid getting PS3 titles unless is totally necessary). I hope they do something about hackers though, cause that ruins they game experience.
