Dark Souls 2:

It feels like 2/3 of the bosses in this game are armored knights.

The atmosphere in the Looking Glass Knight area was pretty cool though, stood out in what seems like an endless line of grey stone walls.
Song Demon with the eerie singing and such was also neat. The weird design of the boss was the sort of thing I've been missing.

I don't know if I'm harsh on DS2 because of Souls-fatigue, but I'm not really feeling this one as much as DS1.

Oh hey, fellow buddy inexplicably playing DS2 right now. I adore the setting/story but so many of its mechanical changes just end up being bad to me and it represents the on purpose wilful tumble towards the actiony end of the spectrum.

For bosses, you're right. Even what should be weirder bosses like Najika the scorpion woman are mostly basic stuff with like "a twist" and something like lost sinner that should lean way harder into magic is an all melee joke (which is good because a seriously sick person made the run to her and Duke's Dear Freja what is wrong with you). It feels like they wanted to make up for Dark Souls 1 either not having it or Artorias being so well liked but they went so far overboard they're on shore.

This is my first time playing this (or actually any fromsoft game) with magic and its calcified my opinion that they don't get why people want shields and the power fantasy that they entail. So far I feel embarassed on the games behalf, I don't feel cool.

Dark Souls 2:

I unlocked a cage with the keyblade from Kingdom hearts by showing it into the face of a Voldo looking dude's face. When I talked to the lady in the cage she disappeared.

The vibe in the Vendrick boss area is v cool. The trek to find Giants souls to weaken him is less so.

Speaking of songs, Youtube recommended me this earworm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XicdpSmxuT0

And after some translation and askjeevesing it's from this

Ya Boy Kongming! : General of the Three Kingdoms, Kongming, had struggled his whole life, facing countless battles that made him into the accomplished strategist he was. So on his deathbed, he wished only to be reborn into a peaceful world... and was sent straight to modern-day party-central, Tokyo. The brilliant strategist Kongming will have to adapt to the wild beats and even wilder party people of the modern age.

I never actually listen to music on my phone because the variety is nice and it lets me know what the kids are into for me to hate next

Turns out it's Taylor Swift still
