No amount of enemy scaling would match facing a real person.

Meh, I just don't like the idea of invading.

But you like the idea of summoning?

Yes, but that's the only aspect of the game I wish was more accessible. As in, simple to just invite friends if you want to experience it that way with scaling enemies.
Edit: This goes with my belief that most/all games that aren't story-driven should have co-op.

I agree with you on that point. Fortunately there's a mod for the PC version that allows you to play with your friends more easily.

I hope the whole "more accessible, but not any less difficult" approach to DS2 brings forth some better ways to play co-op with friends.

I got my Flame to +5, Club to +5 lightning, got Dawn's Circlet and bought the Bellowing Dragoncrest ring. All of that and I went from having four kings around me at 1/2 boss health to killing each with 20 seconds to spare. I really didn't expect those things to have such a huge impact. I got them all first try, and made plenty of mistakes. Was this with your knight? Were you using buff spells on your weapon? Nah, my SL1 Pyro. No other buffs or anything. My knight is still at the beginning of Sen's lol. I don't like invading, and I refused to ever do it myself. It's just rude.
Do you ever backstab in PvP? Have either of you played the PC version? If so, is there a noticeable decrease in lag?

I don't PvP.  On the odd chance that I was invaded, I just fought them however seemed necessary, I guess.

In PvP? Yes. I prefer the PC version in just about every respect, except there are fewer people online.

So you can actually parry and backstabs aren't cheap lag moves? Oh man, that sounds amazing.

Yep, backstabs are pretty useless in PC PvP because it's stupid easy to read them. I've parried and been parried quite a lot, too, and I didn't have to rely on guessing when my opponent was going to attack.

I'm definitely getting DS2 for the PC, and getting a suped up desktop. That really just sounds so perfect. I love parrying in solo but hate that it's just a guessing game, and backstabbing would actually be respectable if it was about punishing your opponent for a stupid mistake.

Yep, the only time I've backstabbed an opponent was when I wrecked his phantom and he tried to run away from me.
And thankfully you don't need an incredible gaming rig to play Dark Souls on PC. I'm assuming DS2 will be the same way.
