DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin

muito bom pra passar o tempo e ficar com raiva e quebrar o pc, recomendo total

Dark Souls 2 walked so Elden Ring can run. Drangleic was so refreshing in comparison to the interconnectivity for interconnectivity's sake of Anor Londo. Do not get me wrong, DS1 IS great in it's own right. However, for me the visuals, storytelling, and imersiveness will always eclipse that of DS1. There was real genuine variety to Drangleic in comparison to various shades of murky filth. And the non-linearity of the game was incredibly refreshing, there was always another path to take, but simultaneously, all roads felt like they inevitably led to Drangleic Castle. The story was also much more philosophically relevant which I appreciate, especially the alternate ending SotFS added, Aldia is such an interesting character and you only interact with him a handful of times. And finally, the crown jewel - Majula. My home, my love. Majula is by far the best Hub in any FromSoft game, and I have played them all except Demons Souls. The abandoned village at the end of the world that slowly fills with wanderers on their own journeys. Had FromSoft had the character quest refinement we see in Elden Ring within this setting this game would be much more beloved. I truly believe that. Finally, to be objective, DS2 DOES have some very frustrating things. Adaptability, certain camera angles, Hallowed max health debuff, lack of Estus Shards, and reliance on Life Gems (although that last one actually grew on me). I went into DS2 with the expectation of this game's reputation. That it would be a janky, clunky mess full with terrible mechanics and rushed concept design. I did meet some of that, but I found a world that I felt like I was genuinely experiencing for the first time, a feeling that no FromSoft has been able to replicate since Elden Ring. DS2 doesn't take the top spot for me, ER will likely always hold that. But it solidified itself comfortably at number 2, and turned out to be the first FromSoft game I 100%'d.

Great game, don't recommend 100% unless you want mental torture.

the most miserable experience i had in this game was in the shrine of amana i think it shortened my lifespan by 30 years the amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spells constantly firing at you is insane after awhile i started brute forcing my way through, it was like crawling through mud my friends were asking if i was okay it was so bad my friend that convinced me to play this game helped me through to the third bonfire after i begged for mercy. i hate the boss i was not in the mood at the time i was so pissed the runback had mages in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ circle jerk that blocked the path the only part of the boss that could take damage was the face which for me it hid 90% of the time i had my friend kill it for me i dont care this ♥♥♥♥ sucked honorable mention the spider area i hate spiders holy ♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss weapons being locked there was just taunting me when i was looking through the wiki i had my servant clear the area and boss for me i couldnt the most enjoyable experience i had....... i guess the mirror guy was sort of fun? anyway i might replay it th thought of replaying it is fun but actually playing it is turbo hell 11/10

the greatest game ever

Este juego, es una relación de amor odio clara, la parte del inicio se siente tosca, injusta pero una vez sabes como funciona, escoges una build medianamente buena y subes ADP (De nada) es una experiencia más o menos fluida. Añade bastantes cosas buenas y chulas con respecto a Dark Souls I, y jugándolo no sentí en ningún momento algo tipo "Enserio otra zona así?". Si piensas que es mal juego o que tiene mala fama por lo que dicen los demás, intenta probarlo, porque yo pensaba que este juego era basura y lo acabé disfrutando más de lo que pensaba. Suerte en la zona de lava, ya lo entenderás ;)

Jogão filho, sou clubista porque comecei a trilogia por esse. Primeiro tu pode jogar de rapieira e zerar, mas depois que você virar homem vai ver que o negócio é build de força e fé.

Before I played this game, I only heard people talk bad about this game. But after dying and suffering over and over again, I've come to realize that this game is PEAK. I like it way better than DS3, and I think it is close to DS1 in terms of how much I like it. It's not perfect, but it tries a lot of new and creative things. (I first played n Xbox so I have many more hours than steam says I does)
