I fucking loved discussing Dark Souls 1, DSII just invalidates its ending in the worst way possible.

Holy FUCK I just realized what they could've done oh my god.

So Vendrick and Aldia split away to both find a way to cure the Curse: Vendrick looking into the essence of the soul and Aldia looking to dragons as they are immortal and therefore outside the cycle of death and rebirth.

What FROM SHOULD'VE done was make it so we either choose Vendrick's method or Aldia's. Make it ambiguous as fuck like Dark Souls.

If they did that, it would've gone with the game's theme PERFECTLY since it's about breaking the cycle of death and rebirth holy fuck FROM why didn't you do that I'm genuinely upset now.

Hence why I said make it ambiguous as fuck. (Granted that itself is an ambiguous statement).

The dragons, as the player proves, are not immortal. We kill Aldia (presumably) himself. Vendrick was looking for a cure for fuck knows how long and he failed.

It would've given the player the same sort of choice Dark Souls had, along with the same amount of uncertainty that it is the right decision.

I really hate the way dark souls II bastardized Ornstein. Fucking easiest boss in the game. I walk through his fog and there he is, I'm expecting a great fight, and what do I get? THE SAME FUCKING THING as the Pursuer but w/magic.
Furthering my disappointment, when I reached the smelter demon, it's literally ANOTHER rehash of the previous tank fights. He's just bigger.
I wish dark souls 2 had never come out.

I know the horse has been dead for months and I'm just beating at it more, but really, B-Team Souls had me devoted to my first playthrough.

After I beat it, I was just left underwhelmed instead of feeling victorious like the previous titles.

There is no satisfaction without actually struggling.

The thing I hate most about Dark Souls 2 is that it has almost completely killed off discussion for Dark Souls. I only got the game in January so I feel like I've missed out big time on all of the threads and lore speculation and stuff.

My biggest regret in gaming is selling off my xbox 360 and missing out on Dark Souls for those first few months. I can't imagine just how much fun it would have been to play the game without knowing a bunch of stuff about it through osmosis.

The despawn is what made me realize how poorly Ds2 was put together. The shrine of amana is a good example. I found the best technique was to keep killing one or two enemies before dying until they ran out. It's as if they knew how bullshit some places were and put in that mechanic to make up for it.
Granted, this may have just been me doing poorly, but the fact that you can just grind through a level rather than overcome it is quite telling.

I know the stairs to the aquaduct can blend in with the mountains, but did you not see the hollows? Did you not think the skeletons were taking a bit too long to kill? I'm not even sure how you can wind up at the graveyard first, it's so tucked away while everything seems to point towards going up.

Don't let the people praising the difficulty skew your perspective on the game. It's decently challenging at times, and it treats you like an adult, but 'difficulty' is not the main draw of Dark Souls.

I don't mean to insult anyone, but it's a shame how unavoidable it is that the sequel will be brought up when discussing dark souls. Even when I was hype I could tell the games would be very dissimilar. It would have benefited from being its own separate title. Dragon souls or something. Save its "lore" wallowing around in the legacy of the first
