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.

Not gonna lie. This is the worst and best Dark souls game out of the three. With frustrating and annoying mechanics such as: Limited enemy respawns, human effigy mechanic with hollowing, slow combat, meh level design, and also some boring enemy designs, frustrating hit boxes, dark souls the platformer and limited I frames. However, it is one of the most intriguing dark souls game, with cool stuff like, amazing atmosphere and view, tense (although slow) battles, coolest mechanics, the ability to DUAL WIELD WEAPONS, cool and unique weapons and armour, interesting combat scenarios, super fun PVE, incredible world building, great branching pathways that encourages exploration and one of the few DS games that lets you heal infinitely (life gems). I'm In love with the game's feel and experience. Playing DS2 doesn't feel like playing a dark souls game, not even close. It feels like i'm playing dungeons and dragons the hack and slash. The combat although slow, is one of the more satisfying combat in some of the dark souls games. I love DS2, not as much as the other dark souls games. But it's definitely a good game.

Here’s the thing. I used to hate this game. I had never played it and I went off of what everyone else said about it: it’s slow, it has the most frustrating mechanics, it has the worst level design, all that*****. And after playing it, I agreed, I had a really terrible time for a while playing the game. I had just come from three, and it didn’t get a fair chance. This game is actually awesome. So much content, so much world, excellent atmosphere, well designed mechanics, and fitting themes for the franchise. I hated my first play through, but after I broke myself once, (as with any souls game) I really got into it. The hollowing mechanics were infuriating for a long time, until I both got good, and learned effigy management. I don’t feel like going on a full blown tangent now, so I’ll just say this- to the people who are obsessed with ds1, calm the ***** down. Playing through this honestly felt like a Zelda game, it was so fun.

hello guys, how are you? So could you help me? My boyfriend started a Twitch channel, he streams Dark Souls (all from the saga souls) and other RPGs of the same style. He is very funny, kind and intelligent (besides cute haha), and his dream is to be creator of indie style games ... We are Brazilian, but we speak in English and Spanish. Please kindly give a little force that we will thank you immensely !!! A hug, and sorry if my English is not the best. (Danny_the_Legend on twitch)

Do only I feel like ds2 has the worst bosses, areas, weird slow battle system and so on, but it still is more fun than the other games?

Dark Souls 2 is just good. Also, Demon Soul's takes a chunk of health for getting killed, and yet no one complained about that? I call bull*****

Dark SOULS 1 is more fair. Because your health bar doesn't get smaller with each death.

Dark SOULS 2 just sucks, it makes the 1st one even more legendary than it was when it was released. It makes the 1st game in the series a lot more fun to play in other words.

Dark Souls 2 is an absolute joke compared to the 1st one, because guess what happens to your health bar after you die; it decreases, giving the enemies in unfair advantage over you. That is why the 1st one is played the most, because it is so popular, it actually has some good jokes made by internet users that are actually funny.

Genuinely love this game. Its environments may not be as masterfully crafted as those of DS1, but its gameplay is infinitely better than that of DS1; not nearly as awkward and dying usually feels like you made a mistake instead of dying to weird geometry and odd hit detection. I love that its story is more separated from those of DS1 and DS3 because this is a "standard" cycle, unlike DS1 which is the second linking and DS3 which is the last. Second only to DS3 for me!

The worst game From Software ever put out. Nonetheless, this is a B-TEAM game. -clunky controls -garbage soundtrack -npcs are rude and uninteresting -horrible textures throughout the whole game -too many damn humanoids to fight against -the A.I. is so horrible enemies only attack you at the same time -each room in this game has like 15 copy-and-paste enemies -bosses are lame e have the same patterns -lore starts out as something innovative sure, but in the end is identical as Dark Souls 1 A big part of the flaws in Dark Souls 3 came from this garbage here, called Dark Souls 2, a B-TEAM game. And really, it's plain crazy how there are people out there lately that have been praising this piece of garbage. Dark Souls 2 will never be better better than Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, or Bloodborne. In my opinion those who are openly fanatics about DS2 really have mental issues. I mean, look at that hbomberguy on youtube praising Dark Souls 2, this is the kind of people who like this game lmao!

DS2 and SoFTS are indeed fun. the only problem is that soul memory is used for online co-op and pvp and not SL. the good news, however, is the variety of gear new and old and the new hex spell class. Thumbs up for me! :)

has anyone else been f**ked around by the great souls, when i killed the duke of fetja pet there was a red thing on the ground, i pick it up but didn't have time to read it because i was hoarded by spiders with less than 50% hp, then i swung Greatsword around. when i finally got to majula nothing change so i thought i did something wrough, which from there i ended up eating these great souls, still nothing changed. at this point i was freaking out because i will now have to get 1 million sm, or bonfire ascetics, and i can't get there boss weapons. but after a bit i figured out all you had to do is go to the shrine of winter and open the door. so now i'm wondering am i really missing out on the old ones boss weapons? PEACE BRAH!
