Dark Souls 2 Official Website
Developed by From Software, Dark Souls 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Dark Souls, an action RPG with estimated sales of over 1.5 million units. The original game's appeal lay with its renowned difficulty and trial-and-error approach, one that Dark Souls 2 promises to sustain.As of the 24th of March, 100 million souls have died on PS3, and 35 million souls have died on Xbox 360.
Regarding The Software
- The game is not a direct sequel to Dark Souls.
- As the game's protagonist, the players will embark on a journey to remove from themselves the affliction of a curse.
- Bonfires and covenants return, as do gestures.
- The difficulty level will remain, with the focus staying on learning from death to overcome challenges. The variety in ways to die has been prioritized but the focus is still on fairness.
- Story is presented in the same fashion as Demon's and Dark, unobtrusive and discoverable by players who wish to dig deeper.
- A new graphics engine was created to address frame-rate issues and give the development team an extra tool in creating atmosphere. PC will run at 60 fps and Console versions will run at 30 fps.

Having day 1 release played DS2, I am pretty sure that Original DS2 was the best DS. Scholar came in and changed far too much. It isn't bad, but it is very dumb'd down to casual trash level. Saddening, you really hate to see it.

Look into the Seeker of Fire mod if you plan to play on PC. It makes the look more modernized.

Still holding the crown for the best pvp game fromsoft has ever made.
I know, it's a low bar to reach. But what did you expect? Miyazaki's pvp balancing is as incompetent as shown in elden ring.

i have just started NG+3 i am getting worried if enemies will deal almost my HP (my HP is 85) because when i played this game on xbox 360 i am just on NG+6 and enemies deal almost my HP especially dark lurker, i tried dodging but i still got hit, so i quited the game without raging, 1 week later i bought SOTFS on ps4 and think SOTFS might reduce damage and i think bastard sword will get me to the end of the game so can the bastard sword carry to the end of the game in NG+8 and so on? if it doesnt then what weapon shall i use? i don't want a weapon that looks like sht especially giant warrior club or smelter hammer

DARK SOULS 2 IS THE BEST COMBAT EVAARR!! THEY SHOULD USE THIS KIND OF COMBAT IN DS3 any game miyazaki is working on
Just confirming, when we choose the throne, we choose to light the flame or not, right? while the other ending we just choose nothing.
unfortunately we don't have as many groups on ds2 as ds1 (4 gwyn knight's, sons of gwyn, lords, you and npc's) ds2 only has Vendrick and his knights (only 3 guys, we would have more if Sir Syan showed up) daughters of manus and you and npc's

Why don't you actually spend time learning how the game works and adapting to it instead of crying over a game punishing you for not following it's rules?
"waaah this is not like ind ds1 or ds3 i can't spam the rolls waaah i have to wait for my character to turn his face to the enemy instead of attacking right after a roll because my character can't turn instantly after a roll waaah". You re too accustomed to the shortcuts. Is this how useless you become when daddy miyazaki leaves the house? Pathetic.

I killed all the bosses required to open the door to get to strangle if, the door next to the ivory king dlc but it still tells me to look for mightier souls: does this mean I have to use a bonfire ascetic on each of the bosses bonfires to do it again or is there a step I’m missing?

Started ds2 and can anyone tell me why every time i use a human effigy I can’t see the damn npc summon signs

Repetitive, lazy, generic, easy, enemies and bosses are too weak and dumb they usually die in less than 2 minutes. just play ds1 or ds3 instead or BB if you can

don't play this garbage, play lord of the fallen because this game is just stupid LOTF is way better than the souls series
many say that most of the maps look like just vidio game levels (not by me), but Anor Londo on ds1 doesn't make any centido, why is the castle a maze? Who exactly are these rooms?
in dragleic castle, there are at least doors that don't open, giving the excuse that there could be the kitchen or things a castle needs

Dude, I've had a breakdown, what the **** is this comment section?
Like literally, where all the hate come from, be a DS2 lover or hater, just stop for a second and think what you're doin, maybe begin a NG+ on your favorite game or something

Miyazaki entered the online aspects (pvp) of a videogame with demon's souls, and had 3 more games to develop a solid online system. And the one who got the concepts right was the one he wasn't involved in, wich is this game. Yeah, we all like to sht on soul memory, but because of that, twink builds and gank squads aren't a thing.
Ds1 was instant backstab + poise, bloodborne was non-existent because of all those bell mechanics and ds3 was one gankfest after another. If you ever expect elden ring to have decent pvp, make sure it's handled by the "b team".

Vanilla DS2 on the ps3 is my nostalgia game of the series. The feels when thinking back to my first ever souls playthrough.

Wave or particle? Neither or both? Some scientists even offered a compromise, using the word “wavicle.” How scientists answer the question will depend on how they try to measure photons. It’s possible to set up experiments where photons behave like particles, and others where they behave like waves. But it’s impossible to measure them as waves and particles at the same time

Why do enemies STILL DESPAWN! im in company of the championisas The game creators did this and they like " GC1, ohh i got a great idea GC2, ok what is it, GC1 Why don't we make enemies despawn to reduce farming so that when the players are farming lets say for example petrifed dragon bone after 12 kills they dissapear but players havent upgraded their boss soul weaponisas to +5 so let's make them rot! crying!, get pissed! won't that be great! GC3 and GC2, OHH YES THAT WILL BE GREAT we need to make the game pissing the lives of our players!" HOW mean are they why would they despawn the enemies? to reduce farming? NO what a bad IDEA

Tell whatever you want about ds2. But unlike ds3, this game has a personality to call it's own. Ds3 is but a mashup of recycled ideas.

i like dark souls 1 than dark souls 2. what about demon souls?
the mother and baby in the first scene are what? does the protanist already have a history or is it a demonstration of the curse?
I already created a story for my character and to show that he already has one is not cool
what is the meaning of the scene at the beginning? why do we have to jump into the black hole to go to Drangleic? Is Drangleic in another dimension? or is it just a fast teleport
since apparently our goal is to heal us from the curse because one of the endings is to burn in the flame?
Are Lordran and Drangleic close? so that at the end of ds2 we burn in the first flame

Can somebody please tell me why people to dis today still give carp to ds2.

(This applies to every game in the series) Something that I don’t like is when game journalists keep saying “Dark souls needs an easy mode” the entire point of these games is that they are extremely difficult because they require skill to play, adding an “easy mode” would fundamentally change how these games are made.

For some reason the SotFS version has a controller deadzone that gives the game a clunky restricted feeling which it shouldn’t have at all and it makes basic movement around areas feel less enjoyable. The games animations are mostly pretty damn fluid and some people might not realise the real issue behind the worse feel compared to the other titles. That full 360 analogue movement is so important so the game feels less robotic.

I don’t get why so many people hate ds2. It’s a great game with creative enemies, fun mechanics, and a good story.
is it necessary to talk to benhart to summon him in elana?
