[Ridg3]

I caved and bought the PS3 version of Dark Souls 2, pretty good so far, internet connection issues notwithstanding. I'm not fond of how floaty the movement feels compared to the first game but I'll probably get used to it. I also really love how they animated clothing this time.

I like the movement in DSII, waiting on elevators is fun because you can spin around with inhuman speed and dem capes look stunning following in your wake. Not too mention the big whoosh whenever you jump. But the movement feels good, much easier to fish for backstabs off NPC's.

So far, from what I played anyways, I'm enjoying Dark Souls 2. The bosses may be a bit on the shit easy side but they make up for that with the area before the boss being up to scratch. Oh so many deaths. My very first death was due to gravity so that was a nice way to start the game. Oh, and sorcery this time is OP as fuck. The lighting is good too, I love lighting a bonfire and seeing my majestic char's shadow being flung up on the wall, like some sort of grand portrait. Haven't had a chance to test out the PvP yet so I can't make a comment on it, but the way the stats are set out it looks as though you can do any build and not feel as though you're at a disadvantage with other players (but I'm sure people will prove a way to shit on that theory.)

But I like what I see so far, and I can't wait until I'm finished so I can get right into the lore discussions. So many fucking things needs explained, at the minute.
