Fucking Brandon.
Why in the fuck would you want a 125 sl meta when there is no equip burden, magic or shields?
But then again, this is the same dumbass that wanted a 150 sl meta because of agility only to run hex buff builds that used ADP as a dump stat.:retarded:

Huh, so, im pretty sure that was actually the second boss I killed - just beat what I think was the actual first boss. So, 2 bosses down

Metacritic score are pretty fucking high, average critic review 93 and 8.4 user


the lowest critic review so far is 80 and this was their complaints


  • Aggressively-minded but feels restrictive with builds
  • Camera and lock-on issues
  • Blood vials not as great as Estus Flasks
  • Firearm counter not that reliable
  • Long loading times, can't jump between lamps in one shot

Yeah but DSII also scored higher than either DaS or DeS. I have less faith in critics to go against the hype train than in the unwashed masses tbh.

By an hour in I was already getting a sinking feeling about DSII. How are first impressions bros?

I've finished 2 bosses. It's very very good. Wear headphones (yes, with your television) if you don't have a crazy surround speaker system, the sound design is top notch.

Problems I have with it:

- Acquiring blood vials for retrying boss fights is pretty lame
- Stupidly long load times, and they couldn't be bothered to even give you something to read like in the souls games.

Eh... So the queen is the end boss? I thought the wheelchair dude is.

in the dungeon she's the last boss, drops 'yharnam stone' which is a crystalized fetus skeleton in a red stone -- in terms of going to NG+ cycles it's the dude in the wheel chair cuz i guess poetic ending --> cut to moonlight beheading and you waking up from the bad dream [i can't believe i was right with the bad dream bullshit]

It's released 'Tuesday' -- it's been 'Tuesday' for half the world for over 24 hours now

I'm not gonna buy the game/system, so my opinion comes from its own source of bias, but from watching stuff I'm not particularly impressed. I'm not sure how the pvp scene will be -- but so far I honestly think DS 2 wins in terms of interactivity and cleverness (things you can do, viable combinations, play styles, options in general, or even stuff like water in the environment actually mattering). I think a big part of BB's appeal is gonna be the art style and visuals with a lot of the gameplay being worse than DS 2.

Yes, I know, borderline heresy, but that's what it seems like from watching (arguably) the entire game. Nowhere near the same as playing it, obviously, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Is it weird that Sony lost the rights to the Bloodborne trademark?

With all due respect to Phage I'd take his opinion with a heavy grain of salt for 2 reasons:
1)He's a DSII fan, I'd go as far as say borderline fanboy.
2)He was defending this game before it came out .
[i can't believe i was right with the bad dream bullshit]
Don't worry. That doesn't sound nearly as convoluted and vague as it should be. I'm certain the final explanation will be more like this:

Welcome to bizarro world where some brain damaged Euro imagines that I have opinions I do not possess.

Maybe you should know what the fuck you're talking about before launching random ad hominems.

It seems I confused you with someone else.

Anyway, my opinion on Dark Souls 2 is that it's a pretty solid game, especially with the DLC, but it's not nearly as good as Demon's/Dark Souls.

As for me defending BB, I mostly explained why removing shields/magic isn't really a bad thing.

Magic broke the PvP in ds 2, without magic the PvP will be much more balanced in BB i guess.
