I love this loving game i think it's really close in quality to the first. it owns bones

i've found a lot of synergy so far between the rapier and the shield that lets you use abilities one handed instead of parrying, so that's what i'm rolling with for now. rapier move set is a lot better this time around

everything about the experience so far has been so great. strong enemies are really designed around the common strategies players would use, in DS1 the general strat for the whole game was "get behind it" and if you try that in this game youll learn everything has 2 or 3 counterattacks for this, if you stay in front enemies will play w/ your reflexes and use special attacks that force you to get moving.

it feels more like a world that is rly trying to kill you instead of a program you can outsmart. yes i was crying while i wrote this

also the fat official gals with heat-seeking spiked clubs and the pyromancy "bear hug" have some of the coolest sound design in a souls monster.

if theres a tough enemy, theres usually at least two or three ways to use the environment around them. its a really incredibly designed game

theres a ladder in the swamp that takes you to a high area and you can see the general direction of your objectives. genius

People complaining about the world not being fully interconnected are stupid. It's like every zone is multiple tightly interconnected areas with branching paths and loops back and high overviews. It's loving majestic
