I'll have to buy a new PC.

It was quite an achievement by maccabi, and their players aren't that good either (compared to Real's or Barcelona's).

But they were brilliant the final, it seemed that they had a counter for Real's every game plan.

Also, european teams are much better than they used too. Teams like olympiakos, cska, real madrid are probably equal to, if not better than, teams like the bucks, the cavaliers, the bobcats,etc.

I agree, I haven't played it in a year(possibly more) but I have over 200 hours in it. Great fun, and I loved the story mode. I will go back to it maybe.

Are there even 5?

She only plays at 60fps/1080p, and that's why she didn't buy an Xbox1.

I was expecting to see a review by a DS1 fanboy but I was disappointed.

Anyway, it seems that this guy wants every little detail explained to him. It doesn't take too long to understand the game mechanics, just a few hours of gameplay should be enough. You explore your character's capabilities in battle, and this isn't a bad thing, just a different approach.

Difficulty depends on your build. In my first DS1( I also started with dark souls, and then proceeded to demon's souls) playthrough I had a tank/fatroll build and the only bosses that gave me considerable trouble were O&S and gwyn. In DS2 I started out with a str/dex build mostly built around dodging, so I was bound to die more times. In DS2 there were a number of bosses that gave me trouble in my first playthrough, like the Old Dragonslayer, the Pursuer, Mytha (that damn poison), and the ancient dragon(around 25 deaths with that guy), but unlike dark souls 1, there were some pretty challenging enemies, like the guys in the dragon shrine. Also in DS2 there are many 1vsN situations, which were rare in DS1, and that is why I think DS2 is harder, along with the reduced i-frames and the less viable backstabs and parries.

The fact that it is a PC exclusive already makes it better than UT3. It seems that it is time to buy a new PC.

I think it is easily as good as its predecessors. The story is much better and more alive than DS1's, but not as good as demon's souls. It is too early to say something about the lore, however it seems that it lacks the concrete foundations DS1's lore had. I like the new gameplay mechanics in PvE but PvP is broken at the moment. If I see one more havel/santier/hex build I will smack my head against the wall. Also spells do way too much damage, and it seems that the lag is as bad as DS1's lag.

To be honest I disagree with people who say that the level design isn't as good as in DS. I think that the enviroments this time round are a lot more interesting and beautiful, but the bonfire placement isn't as good as it should be.There are way too many bonfires. The world design is a proper mess though, and it is sad that they didn't care about it this time round.

The soundtrack is great, but it lacks variety. I still think it is the best OST in the series so far though.

Now about the bosses, I think that most of them fall under the "meh" category, but many bosses are good. However, the game doesn't have a proper "signature" boss, like O&S, the false king, or gwyn. Perhaps From Software could put some top-class bosses in a future dlc though.

To me it seems that people are sugar coating their memories of DS1 and that's why they are bashing DS2. The boss argument is especially comical. Are you trying to tell me that bosses like the Taurus demon, the asylum/stray/firesage demon, capra demon (cheap,but easy boss), the moonlight butterfly,etc are actually memorable fights? Give me a break. Also there isn't a fight in this game as terrible as the BoC one.

I also think that DS2 is the most difficult souls game so far. I leveled up sufficiently(finished the game at SL100) and still had a lot of trouble up until halfway of the game. DS1 had a some hard bosses, but the areas where easy as pie. Demon's souls is the opposite. DS2 manages to strike a good balance between the two, although it is cheap at parts,more so than its predecessors.

When it comes to atmosphere, demon's souls is king. The dark colour palette and the ambience adds a lot to it. You actually felt that you were in a f***** up world, and a feeling of depression was present in all areas.Dark Souls 1 had a very bland atmosphere in my opinion, save for one or two areas. Dark Souls 2 improves slightly upon Dark Souls 1, but pales in comparison to demon's souls.

I still think that DS1 is the best souls game though, but DS2 could easily reach first place with some good patches(soul memory especially). Demon's Souls was in my opinion the most unique and memorable of the 3,but I wasn't a big fan of its gameplay mechanics.
