Visions of death... Therefore, try jumping! 1
The Souls series has all the makings of a terribly frustrating experience: one-hit kills, creatures mimicking treasure chests, player invasions, and a death count totaling over one million in the first week of release in its latest entry, Dark Souls 2. Passing up a game so seemingly focused on destroying a player’s will to exist seems like the logical choice to make, but missing out on what this powerful franchise has to offer is a mistake far worse than accidentally rolling off of a cliff...

Tweaked mechanics and nods to Demon's Souls make for a fresh Dark Souls adventure. 0
In so many ways, Dark Souls II is a return to form. This can mean different things for different players, though. The original Dark Souls introduced its inhabitants to a desperate land filled with aimless, shambling hollows that echo the failure and futility of other would be heroes as well as unforgiving guardians faithfully protecting the often awe-inspiring demons who now rule each realm. The only solace in such a woefully dark kingdom were the lights cast by scarce bonfires dotting your jour...

(Not the) Sequel for Everyone 0
There are at least two different types of people that play Dark Souls. There are those of us that spend more time playing with the PvP aspect, and those of us that spend more time playing the PvE side of things. Dark Souls II excels in one area, and falters in another. For those of us that enjoy the PvP, and spend more time invading, hosting fights, and dueling, Dark Souls II is a wonderful experience that obliterates a large portion of the first game's problems and downfalls, while adding new e...

My Favourite Least Favourite Game 1
Once upon a time back in the mists of 2018 I had never beaten a Dark Souls game, sure I'd played them though. I'd tried the broken Prepare to Die Edition of Dark Souls on PC, beat the Asylum Demon and kinda gave up after that (I do that a lot.) I'd even played Dark Souls 2 before on PS3, but I just couldn't get the hang of it, somewhere in my peanut brain I was CONVINCED that deep down that this washed-out pain simulator was actually God Of War in disguise and I got spanked by Dark Souls 2 as a...

Dark Souls II Review 0
Having just platinum this game on PS3 I was bored and decided to write a quick review. Little bit about me I am very big into action and RPG games really that is all I play.

I have played and platinum all 3 souls games and love them to death because they have that old school feel but with updated graphics and gameplay.Story: The next adventure into the souls series has the player putting the plot pieces together like befor...

Not as great as its predecessors, but the Souls formula still works. 0
I’ve been instructed by the various marketing campaigns of Dark Souls II to prepare myself for death. Death is inevitable in life and death is inevitable in Dark Souls II. You will die in Dark Souls II. You will die a lot in Dark Souls II. I would argue that one can never truly be prepared for death. Instead, one should ask, “Is death worth it?” In the case of Dark Souls II, the answer is yes. Dark Souls II does not stray very far from the formula set by its predecessors. In fa...

I Wish This Wasn't a Review 0
I didn’t really want to write a review for Dark Souls 2(DS2). Instead I wanted to write something about the nature of a sequel and how DS2 fits into that. But I’m not really that good of a writer so instead you’ll be getting this.Dark Souls 2 ReviewDS2 is two different games. First, it’s a game in its own right and second it’s a sequel to Dark Souls and Demon Souls. And in a lot of ways, it’s probably the other way around. Certainly whenever I talk about DS2 I...
