I'm as big a fan of Souls as anyone you'll find, so you better believe that after seeing the new Dark Souls 2 trailer, I hopped on this blog post before I even cleaned the shit out of my pants. I'm a little confused, though.

I'm not confused as to why they named it Dark Souls 2, I'm just confused as far as whether I like that name.

I'm assuming it's called Dark Souls 2 because it's based off the lore surrounding Lordran as opposed to Boletaria or some new place. I think ideally, I would have liked to see yet another entirely new area with a name like Dead Souls or something, though it is exciting to think how they'll expand upon Dark Souls' story. Not because the ends were tied up or anything, oh heavens, no, but rather the opposite: they have every direction to go.

Gameplaywise, it's promising, too. Will we see more enhanced versions of game mechanics and subplots that already exist like the covenants?

Once again, I can't wait to die. Many. More. Times.
