People actively don't like the way Dark Souls 2 looks?? It definitely looks wayyy better than the first game, much smoother/more detailed animations, more colorful and varied environments, and I mean, they probably changed the way it looks from the early version of the game because they wanted the frame rate to be solid. It's still a lovely looking game with a great art direction. I went into it knowing it was a sequel to the technically weak and visually bleak Dark (and Demon's) Souls and released on an almost decade-old console, I don't know why people had such crazy expectations.

Early versions of game in general always look pretty different as well.
