Yes, it is easier.

Darks Souls has brought back the death in video games in fashion and made a motivating agent therefrom. No game I have on my 360 liked to play as Dark Souls, in my opinion, the best RPG on this generation consoles. After I had spent 200 hours in the game + addon, I had doubts whether Dark Souls can be 2 my demands. Many games that are successful will be made available to an even wider audience, and indeed so well in DS 2 (Dark Souls 2). But we are only beginning once.

About the story, I will not say much, who knows the parts in front of it knows that no hours of cutscenes you look at, if you feel like the story reads the texts of items, weapons and armor through, but who wants to just have his enjoyment of the game This can be safely ignored.

Graphically makes it the senile consoles still her a lot, on the PC with some mods can it be certainly a feast for the eyes, but again, the landscapes we meet again gladly. The level design is again well done, some areas affect atmospheric, others somber, hopeful etc.. On DS 1, it does not unfortunately ran, in which I felt a tremendous anxiety in any place it only has so steamed before atmosphere. The villages are no longer so awesome interlinked. Probably you have to dispense with the subtle level architecture, as you can travel the same at the beginning between all Bonfires.

Technically, it's going great good that Framrate was capped at 30 not making it in some places simply runs as smooth as silk. Massive frame rate drops, as DS 1 come before hardly ever. In my first run I also encountered no bugs, only the multiplayer has diverse, but quite rare quirks.

For gameplay, you feel immediately at home what block, attack and roll relates. The sign stands now support what we need to take into account in his fights, the bow can be used conveniently and also jump was again improved. The old scheme, block, analyze the opponent and attack at the right moment. But this does not make the challenge an opponent but only several. Could foresee even a measly skeleton mean death makes it unfortunately a little more from the mass. To fight against two monsters at the same time has been a real challenge. There is also little bosses that a Dark Souls 1 veterans really bring the gnashing of teeth, but they are always nicely decorated and large on the number. Grab NEN partners and beat them or will you alone the challenge.

Which brings us to multiplayer. Invaden, be charmed and dueling in arenas. Leave assistance on the ground and look at the heroic death of the other. So far everything is known. Bosses can kill with 2 NPCs or other players. Many covenants (guilds) motivate them to duel against other heroes. Well known, the net code will have to improve a little, but from time to time as it lags. Even if an invocation fails, the calibration with the multiplayer there, thus leaving game and restart.

But how long does me the title in line? So now I have 60 hours left on the clock, defeating each boss, sometimes more help with bosses given and searched any wall to a hidden mechanism. Think that veterans get through a little faster with less intellectual curiosity, but the content is alright. Hey who complains over 60 hours 1A Entertainment? Continue in NG + (New Game Plus), various bosses drop other items Merchants offer a new inventory and the opponents are many and difficult. Thus already good NG + more motivating factors was packed it for anyway. If you still want to achieve the highest level in all covenants is certainly employs more than 200 hours.

So now to the core of Souls series, the level of difficulty. Since I had invested in DS 1 150 h, I think that I have with this game easier access had as freshmen. Thus me right gave few bosses or enemies a major challenge. Nevertheless, one must always focus on one, you're no Weapons of Mass Destruction and the opponents always equal. Many things have been implemented into the game, to make it easier or beginners friendly. You can start instantly travel between the Bonfires, weapons and armor repair alone through sitting at Bonfire, invested Gamer Level can be distributed at any time again, the Ring of Protection (wear When and die you do not lose souls and you remain human) can be repaired and is not completely broken. Thus, I had hardly ever collect my lost souls, while the Videospieletod is significantly downplayed because you no longer need totally hooked retrieve his lost property. Meant earlier nor the Assassination of NPC the permanent death of those can now be awakened by a diverse small fee to a grave stone. Furthermore, opponents, which has killed 10 times, no longer new spawn. The feature which makes the Souls series was essentially characterized but somewhat washed out. Nevertheless, you have the option to rekindle his Bonfire (with a conscience Item) and thus to strengthen the enemy nearby. Also, by repeatedly passing the life bar reduced.

So there it is anyway become a novel and has read this far anyway no more I come to my conclusion. Who is hungry for more DS 2 is love, even if it has no veterans inhuman challenge more has still the feeling of Souls series. Fantastic level and a confusing arsenal of new weapons, armor and items motivated to explore the world and to turn every stone. Much is also very cryptic again and will open only energetic players. Nevertheless, it does not come quite up to the predecessors. For fans of the series an absolute must to satisfy his addiction, a good part of the world to immerse Souls for newcomers.
