Dark Souls 2

[Luke.]

Having found Dark Souls 1 nigh on impossible, I went to Dark Souls 2 when it came out anyway 'cause I was intrigued.

I've finished it once and after watching This and the following video in the playlist (VaatiVidya is a pro) I was absolutely mind blown. Like, Bioshock Infinity had me pondering life for a week but this wasn't far off. I loved every aspect of the game and though I still think it should have a death count for people to laugh at, I wasn't deterred.

It's not your mainstream "we'll help you along the way" RPG-style game and that makes it very much unknown to many people, hence finding it in shops is difficult. I find that to be a good thing though. The game is so immersive and I've never felt so isolated while playing it. I've gone back to Dark Souls 1 to re-attempt it (on console 'cause the PC import is awful)

Anyway, it is currently torrented and therefore I have no assistance from Covenants etc. but I'm gonna go find it in due time and buy it. I'm on NG+ at the minute and the Lost Sinner's causing me a serious problem but I'll hopefully do it eventually. Need the DLC too. Very underrated indeed.
