>>6161659So true. I spent last March playing Dark Souls and it was a truly transformative experience for me. I'm playing Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin now and my opinion couldn't be more opposite.
The bosses in this game are so un-inspired compared to the first game. It doesn't seem to me that you can play anything but a melee character until 20 hours in when you can use a Soul Vessel. Not to mention, most of your time is spend in Majula levelling up and what-not.
In DS1 you get this feeling of crushing terror, in this alien world so far from home. In Dark Souls 2 you get this feeling of, let me cheese my way to the next bonfire so I can warp back to Majula and relax for a while.
