While reflecting on the “Designing for Disability” study by the YouTube Channel ‘Game Maker’s Toolkit’, created by Mark Brown, a thought struck Will.
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
That is the issue with autism being such a wide spectrum, if they couldn't get being deaf right then what chance do they have with something that has many different things that can affect people differently?
I think having NPC's show signs of autism would be a lot easier to do than having the main character show it.
I know a gamer on the spectrum. She has to tone down colors and turn up the brightness to the tv since it causes visual sensory sensitivity and sometimes audio can be “too loud” if she’s stressed out and decibel levels are quite low.
Autism follows a wide spectrum. People with high functioning autism or Aspergers may not be negatively affected by their disorder when it comes to playing video games. I know autistic individuals who excel at video games including Doom (which was mentioned in the article). However, the high functioning autistics and Aspergers individuals that I know tend to aggressively tune-out the surrounding world when they game.
