Dark Souls II impressions

DARKSOULSFUCKYEAH

PRAISING THE SUN I'LL DISPLAY MY MIGHT

I'LL WALK THROUGH THE DARKNESS BY BONFIRES LIGHT

DEMONS, DRAGONS AND ZOMBIES AWAIT

I'LL HAVE TO BE QUICK OR I'LL BE ON THEIR PLATE

I KILLED GWYN AND THATS ALL RIGHT

SIGNED UP FOR BETA, UMBASA MY WARRIORS

TONIGHTS THE NIGHT!

A few thoughts about Dark Souls II beta based on a few minutes of playtime.

I praise:

-Fluid animations (clothes, backstabbing)
-Intuitive Controls and allowing more mapping (Jumping button elsewhere than the dash button)
-Difficulty (Seems to not have changed. Just ok)
-Inventory and merchants.
-Better layout on inventory
-Epic landscapes

I like:
Cool classes (DUAL SWORDSMAN)

WTF:
Smaller whitestone? How is this making any sense?

I hate:

-BAD, BAD FPS (PS3 version) Not as bad as in the first game in certain areas (Blighttown), but overall seems much lower. Hopefully it will be better, although I'm looking on the pc version myself.

 From software knows not to fuck around. Players who slogged through previous souls games know what to expect. I amazed myself by not dying on the first boss! Umbasa! Must buy for fans. Others, prepare to die!



BETA verdict:
An excellent sequel flawed by bad FPS
