Who else is picking this up on April 12?
quote:Nah, I'd just go into it knowing that the learning curve will be steep.
I haven't played any of the dark souls games, but I loved demon souls.
Bloodborne was fun, but I never beat it. I got extremely frustrated and gave up.
Should I buy another demon souls game before picking this up?
I think in the meantime I'll try to beat bloodborne
quote:It was more of the same....Had better build variety, but didn't have the awe-inspiring level design.
I played the first Dark Souls, mostly because of the internet buzz around it. I have never felt so discontented to finish a game.
It was easily the hardest game I've ever played and that was supposed to be the charm of it. I rage quit that game so many times and took so much time to cool off I had to look up the controls to remember how to play at least twice. Plus I got lost on the story line. I tried reading and talking all I could to fill in the gaps to only say screw it, finish the game and then read the synopsis on Wikipedia.
Was the second game any more enjoyable?
quote:Bloodborne, IMO was slightly easier than the Souls games. Simply because you could get away with a wild swing every once in awhile, and you didn't have to focus so much on the RPG elements.
Thanks.
Haven't played any of the dark souls games, though I've heard they were the best.
Bloodborne was extremely difficult, but very rewarding when you beat a boss.
quote:I gotcha. I can do it in few paragraphs.
Also, you don't really need to play the other dark souls games before this one. The story is so confusing that it won't matter.

First there were dragons. Then after a war and Seath the scaleless betraying the other dragons, 4 "gods" of fire emerged. Gwyn, Nito, The Witch, and the Furtive Pygmay. The Furtive Pygmany is human and wants to bring about the Age Of Dark (age of men without gods).
Go through Dark Souls. One NPC wants you to "link the dying fire" so that the Age of Fire (gods) can continue. Another says don't and bring about the Age of Dark (Men). Pick which one.
Dark Souls 2. This is all a cycle. Rinse and repeat. The cycle continues.
Dark Souls 3? Well, Miyazaki said we get an end to the series, so your guess is as good as mine.
Manus plays in there somewhere, but...that's the gist of it.

quote:I don't know what version or platform you're playing on, but I've had a weird experience with DS2:SOTFS. I recently picked up the game for XB1 since I never played the DS2 DLC. I have seen plenty of evidence of online activity, but I've received only one or two invaders and I'm almost done with the game. After the first couple of bosses, I've seen very few player summon signs. Despite that, I've gottened summoned plenty of times, even at high levels - sometimes I've had to wait a minute or two, but that's it.
I'm still stuck on the two dragonriders in DS2.
