Soviet_Poland 01/19/18 4:47:42 PM #28:	Dark souls 2 was made by the B-list team without Miyazaki. It's....a good game in its own regard (Sins of the Scholar edition), but gets overshadowed by the expectation of being dark souls. When you compare it to what a dark souls ought to be, it falls flat. But separate it from that expectation and I still enjoyed it. I did enjoy the variety in armor and weapons, in edition to the variety in level design. Even if it lacked in what made DS1's level design so unique--the interconnectedness. You feel the lack of polish in the final product, but I unapologetically enjoy the formula so much I'm kind of starved for more. --- "He has two neurons held together by a spirochete." <cite>Soviet_Poland posted [p:894384174] in The NPCs i...
