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.

Edited by Sandtrap: 3/28/2014 1:50:27 PMSo far, I haven't beaten the game yet, and like to experiment on my three profiles. But my new one is hilarious. I made Batman. Right now my Caestus is at +3, and my strength and dex are at 22 each. Normal enemies get demolished. But bosses take a lot less damage, but it's hilarious when somebody summons me and I run in there with a pair of binoculars in one hand, Caestus in the other, and start punching the boss for wee little 70's. For a while there I was a little iffy on what I should use, and then I had it. I use the starting clothes you get in the game, the one with the tattered black cloak, turtle knight leggings, gauntlets, and helmet. However, the game was being a dickhead and didn't drop the helmet and now I'm out of turtle knights. And I know that as I progress through the game, I'll find other cool fist based weapons to add to my arsenal. But right now, for fun, I've also got the old whip which I use as a grappling line of sorts. But, my true target is a very, very special ring. When you get this ring and wear it, your bare fist damage is doubled. Your fists scale in STR and DEX, and with a little bit of math done, at 25 dex and str, your bare fists alone do 580 damage. It'll be a damn fine day when I get my hands on that ring. [u]Speaking of turtle knight helmets, if any of you happen to have one, it would be much appreciated if we could do a trade. I'm sitting somewhere in the mid 40s for level, even 50's. If you summon me or I summon you, I've got a Titanite Slab with your name on it for that helmet. It's not the new helmet either, it's the old Ironclad helmet. GT is Sangheili Merc if interested. Help a fistifuffs brother out![/u]
