Another day, another retailer selling copies of video games before their release dates.
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.
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.

This is nothing unusual. Games sell early all the time. Not in my area though. =(
A month early correct? Jeez...
EDIT: Disagree all you want, But when rolling bans come into place for playing a game a month early then don't come crying to me :P
Theres also a few people who ordered from amazon and got their copies a few days early. Not a huge deal to me.
Big deal, I've been watch this game being streamed on twitch for a week now. I'm waiting for the PC version anyway so no biggie
