Doc said:Hopefully this game will satisfy all the fans who were wishing for a sequel to Demon's Souls. It's like Dark Souls & Demon's Souls mutated offspring.
Griffith said:That's really all I want to know. Is this a comparable or better (and normally functioning on PC =) iteration of the series, or a letdown? If it's the former, God willing, I can just buy this, install it like a normal game, and enjoy it along with Wally and the rest of you, finally ending my Dark/Demon's Souls disconnect once and for all.
Jaze1618 said:Edit One controversial feature that may hinder online play in the long run is the new soul memory feature. If so this could have a negative impact on this game's legacy, but its just speculation for now and there is plenty of time to patch it if From Software is so obliged. I won't go into details, but its a new mechanic, different from the soul level cap of the original Dark Souls, to regulate who can play together in online coop or PVP
Doc said:Ah, so there's some kind of in-lore explanation for it? I'll have to check that item later.
Delta Phi said:The soul and ring that you get from the Old Dragonslayer pretty strongly implies that he's an impostor; not the real Ornstein, though I've seen people make the case that he is but he's succumbed to the Abyss a la Artorias. I don't buy it though. I think he's a copycat knight.
Tama chan said:I've never played any of the games, but they look really fun. Would I need to start from the beginning with Demon Souls if I want to experience it, or could I just jump into Dark Souls 2?

Walter said:Its potential resolution isn't the challenge ahead for the PC version. It's whether or not we'll get the full-blown lighting aspect of the new engine, or the downgraded console edition. (Don't know what I'm talking about? Click here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=781625)
