So, I've been playing Dark Souls 2 for a couple hours now and here are my first impressions (with no spoilers): -I'm enjoying the new graphics -It's still as difficult as the first one -I keep dying (and that's ok) -The frame rate in this game is pretty smooth and is a big improvement over Dark Souls 1 -The combat feels more fluid than it did in DS1 -The UI is much, much better -The world is freakin' gorgeous That's all for now. [b]What are your thoughts on Dark Souls 2 so far?[/b] If you're hesitant to pick it up I really recommend it.
