@@awesomeas2 to this day I don't get why people hate on ds2 tbh

[@JMONTY7654]

@@Jerry-ob1un I think it's because it doesn't feel like a full Dark Souls game. I enjoyed myself but it felt strange. There were too many subpar bosses that I didn't remember fighting till I replayed it. The world felt far more separated than the first one. Instead of finding elevators and passages that linked everything together it was much more linear once you chose a direction from Majula. Again I enjoyed the game and will probably play it again some point but those are my guesses as to why.

We were talking every single day since we met so his irremediable absence leaves now a big hole in my heart and in my life. RIP my dear friend. Clearly you were a lifetime bro.

I'll be honest, I played Dark Souls first and it didn't really motivate me to continue. I understood very little of the story and where I had to go, so I ended up leaving it aside. After I saw this video about how fun Dark Souls II is, I decided to give it a chance, even though I already knew about the game's supposed bad reputation. I didn't understand even half of the jokes and references in the video, but after playing the game... WHOAH! I played many, many hours adventuring through Drangleic and exploring every part of the continent. I haven't finished the game yet and I missed a lot of bosses, but everything this video shows is true. It became my favorite, especially because I'm a big fan of high fantasy and this game has a lot of that. Anyway, watching Happy Souls always leaves me with a huge smile on my face and makes my day much happier. Thanks guys!
