Looks a lot better than Dark Souls, that's for sure. It's not the best graphics ever but still damn good for a console game and a big step forward. I'm happy to see they're using the same engine again which means the gameplay mechanics we know an love (backstab, reposte, rolling) aren't going anywhere. There looks like there are some interesting knew enemies, too. Some big guys who you can't just beat by backstab fishing is refreshing. I was kind of worried before that the new director wouldn't be able to keep the Dark Souls spirit alive and would casualize the shit out of it, but this video has dissuaded all of my worries.

game is bad, don't tell me otherwise I cannot be swayed!

Looks alright. Can't tell much from the video because the combat was lame as hell. Looks like mroe of the same so far, but I'll still get it. Hopefully they'll find a way to get more multiplayer going on without dumbing it down. I'm kind of afraid that they will end up adding in lame pre-made action sequences in order to try to "get you emotionally involved" or wahtever. That shit is lame as hell after you play through a game once or twice. I hope they keep it to things like the drake landing on that bridge near the Burg's first bonfire.

You're honestly a huge butthurt child.

[NintendoClock]

But it's the exact same argument you guys tout in almost every game thread;

B-but it's nothing new, nothing different, same ol same ol!  grpahics suck, wheres the innovation and visoin omg gaming is dead.

 But ya know, don't mind me shitting all over this thread. I'm just a butthurt child who fancies himself a mimic. It's not annoying is it? I hope not.

My argument is totally objective. Trust me, even though i've never played it I just know

Dark Souls 2 will also feature more horror elements, especially in the first half of the game where players wonââ,¬â,,¢t encounter as many enemies. The fear and anticipation of an attack should make the first half of the game more suspenseful. Meanwhile, the second half of the game will feature more fighting and action. Maybe this is to give the sequel a better difficulty curve, and maybe itââ,¬â,,¢s a way to make the gameplay reflect the rising action in the story itself.

It's over, they casualized it. Game is shit. Blunder of the millennium. From software is finished.

yeah that sounds kinda lame. that's the kind of stuff I was talking about in my post, those "woooah spooky" things lose their effect after you play it a few times

Yeah emphasizing "surprise" is a pretty fucking bad idea.

Lol staying true in that sentiment.

Bioshock Infinite had less features and worse game-play than its predecessors. It looks like Dark Souls 2 will have MORE features, lose none, and improve the gameplay.

I'm alright with an established series doing it's own thing, I just don't like when a series becomes generic and generalized by adopting the 2 weapon/regenerating health/no inventory paradigm like befell so many games. That shit didn't help Duke Nukem Forever either.

This isn't true (at least compared to Bioshock 1). Prove me wrong.

you can't

It looks like Dark Souls 2 will have MORE features, lose none, and improve the gameplay.

Dual wielding is dumb, no enemies the entire first half of the game, re-used environments (look it up, it's true) and potentially scripted events designed to scare the player.

Yeah, that's some improvement alright. Game sucks.

nintendo i know you're just being facetious but quit non-facetiously shitting all over this thread

[buttplug]

In an interview they said they will have servers, so it should be easier to get matched up with other people

Souls series needs more chainmail bikinis
