Dark Souls 2 isn't a terrible game. Its main issue is that enemy variety and boss variety is severely lacking. The more unique bosses are pretty meh. (Looking at you Old Iron King, Demon of Song and Chaos Witch Quelaag Scorpioness Najka) And the hypest bosses are actually humanoid. (Mirror Knight, Veldstadt, Fume Knight and Burnt Ivory King comes to mind. Smelter Demon sorta counts, as well. But he's less hype more rage.) The environments in some areas are also just plain nothing. (Shaded Woods would've been cool if almost all the area are the mist part. But after that we get the generic ruins section. =_=)

Regardless, it's still one of the best games I've played this year, being topped by, no surprise, DS1.

I seriously need to try that twinblade build I was gonna do though, I got sidetracked due to DS1. >_<

Honestly, if they wanna do something awesome with the new update on DSII, maybe a fight with a non-hollow Vendrick would do it. Having killed Gwyn yesterday, a proper fight against a proper king would be worth it, even if he'll just be another humanoid dude. Because, while the feels on the fight with Hollow!Vendrick was effective, buttstabbing him to death lessened the impact of the fight. ._.

Y'know, we still don't know Cinder's motives. If it's freakishly stupid yet was worth all the trouble, we may have found our Solaire...

Eh, who're we kidding, Solaire's character archetype is actually moderately rare in fiction, since few people take them seriously.
