I once got lost hiking up a mountain until I saw a shepherd. I asked him "How far up are we?" and he answered "Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin". That's how I realised, I already knew the answer. We were at the peak. ~Joe Biden

Pior jogo da franquia, joguei por alguns minutos e ja enjoeei
DARK SOULS II is an action-adventure game where you play as a professional fencer as you stab, stab, and stab your way through the same boss 20 times with your trusty rapier. this is fromsoft's divisive cash-grab developed by the B team while bloodborne was taking up miyazaki's time. its an OK game but not good enough to be considered over any other soulslike. STORY: pretty good. a lot of "this world is suffering and so am i and so are you, woe is me" but what did you expect from Dark SoulsTM GRAPHICS: the hub area looks great but every other area is pretty ugly. poor art direction GAMEPLAY: very clunky, plays like a ripoff and makes dark souls 1 feel like it came out a decade later. youd think being able to roll in different directions while locked on makes it superior but just moving your character around is jittery and unnatural. every weapon except the rapier is laggy, short-range and sluggish compared to its ds1 version. you have to wait like a full second to roll out of an attack animation, and parry timings are slower than most enemies' attack wind-ups. you need to level adaptability and play like it's turn-based (dodge, hit once, dodge). Most bosses are forgettable. U fight a big dude with a sword who has broken hitboxes on every attack, go through the next gank fest and fight another one. The online is much better however, and the netcode wasnt developed by the nazis. very fun multiplayer I played this game before all the others and beat it 3 times before reviewing. I had fun with this game, but i dont feel the need to defend it like some people. it's filler. Im not telling you not to play it, i'm just saying don't expect much from it. It's underrated for many good reasons.
응 안하고 말아 ㅋㅋㅋ 다시는 안해 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Abram alas para o melhor souls que já foi criado, rato de moicano, power stance, mapas que não fazem sentido, inimigos infinitos que surgem do além para te comer no soco, inimigos que te comem além do soco, hit box justa, upar esquiva, ter a melhor capa de game seja ela do original ou do scholar. Por que choras Éu de rigue? Dark souls III só copiou tudo daqui só que aplicou na (na época) nova geração, haters dirão que estou errado, e eu concordarei com eles. Rato de moicano S2
