This is the first of three videos on Dark Souls 2 that I'll be releasing in the following weeks. If you want to wait for all three to be out before watching this, my current estimate is the second video will be out next week and early January for the third.
This one is a brief(ish) overview of what makes Dark Souls 1 great and then how that's changed in Dark Souls 2. My goal with these videos is to show that the sequel is a lot closer to the first game in terms of quality than most think, and that the vast majority of problems people have with the sequel are also present in the first game.
The second video is a sprint-through of the entire game and will likely be the least interesting of the three videos, since level design in the sequel is on the blander side.
The third video is on the DLC and how the level design is much improved.
My wife thinks I speak a little too fast in some sections in this video and she hears me talking all the time so she's probably right. I think I should work on slowing down a bit. Let me know if you had a similar issue. Also, if anyone thinks I could still clean up the audio more than I currently do, I'd love to have any tips on how to improve that.
Thanks for watching.
