Dark Souls II Announced! - New Info up!

[QUOTE="Zeviander"][QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]Only spot I felt it was unfair was those archery knights in annor londo. Everything besides that was fine.seanmcloughlin

Not hard, just felt a bit cheap. To have such a knock back on a tiny ledge.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"] dont worry, the games not released yet so we can still imagine its the bestPinnacleGamingP

That article pretty much sets it in stone. The game is going to suck.

"[Dark Souls II] will be more straightforward and more understandable"

"we would all like to see Dark Souls attain as great a presence as The Elder Scrolls"

Those two quotes spell out exactly what they're planning on doing. Expect the game to have a fully detailed map, an objective marker telling you exactly where you're supposed to go at all times, tips and hints being thrown at you every f*cking minute, etc. Basically everything that is against what Demon's and Dark Souls stood for. I F*CKING HATE THEM!

[QUOTE="Zeviander"] Why does everyone say these guys are hard? I just only ever ran up to the guy on the right, got him to chase after me, and he almost always fell to his demise because of the terrible AI pathfinding.Vaasman

Well duh, that's how you pass it. Im not saying it was hard to do, im saying what they put in place was a cheap way to kill you in a game that's relatively fair most other times. Cheap does not equal hard.

Did you not read the article that tonitorsi posted? The new directors flat out state that they plan on making the game more approachable, and that they want to see the series become as popular as Elder Scrolls. I mean these dudes didn't even beat around the bush like most developers. They just straight up said "lol, hey core fanbase, f*ck you. We're casualizing your favorite games, lollollol *troll face*".

Only way I'll buy is if the game world is more open, there is an actual up front story, and combat system is improved.

Only way I'll buy it is if none of those things you mentioned happen.

The only way I could see demon/dark souls getting better in the combat area is if they added more weapon types.

Perhaps some styles also, like rapiers used fencing, etc.

[QUOTE="straightedge_X"][QUOTE="freedomfreak"] Excuuuse me for playing games to have fun :ofreedomfreak

:lol:

[QUOTE="ebrezzy1"]

way to hard n such a pain in the @ss to get anywhere in the game

its a pass for me ... dying 50 million times is not my idea of fun ... i took on a bet to see if i couldn't beat dark souls n i sure couldn't ... or didn't really want to die 200 more times to do it

this games has no appeal while its good its just not that fun

Let's be real, this will be GOTY 2013 (assuming it's released next year), just as DkS should have been GOTY 2011 but got snubbed out by the mediocre, glitch-bombed Skryim. Fossil-

I support this.

Or a better description of what everything does. I hope this is the case and not more approachable gameplay or difficulty wise. They just need to explain things a bit better

Dark Souls had tons of areas where multiple paths can be taken. Skyrim-like open world wouldnt work for Dark Souls imo, it needs every piece of its levels to be carefully designed - with all those traps, shortcuts, hidden paths, etc. A large plains with some random content here and there is not the way of Dark Souls.

Also, I dont like the idea of various difficulty levels. Im not sure why and I cannot logically explain it right now, but I just dont like it.

Hype.

Hope the new director doesn't fuch shjt up though.

What do you think they'll improve/add to the game?BadNewsBen

I have not played it yet, but beat Demons Souls. It would be downright epic if they took it and set it in a more Zelda like style. I mean keep what evryone loves, but make it a bit more connected, story driven, exploration based experience.

I should have bought it on Amazon when it was 15 bucks. Do you have it on PC? I gues with the mods and a controller it should be great. I have a controller so I see no problem.

Everything you just mentioned as a possibility, would be a bad thing. Do you even know why we like these games? We like them because there is no sh*tty video game story forced upon us. We like them because they hand us the controls and say f*ck you, go do something now". Boy, if you're gonna respond to a veteran fan of these games you best have a basic understanding for why it is we appreciate them in the first place. You're clueless son.
