Title: Dark Souls 2 Discussion
Post by: DoubleGunz on March 17, 2014, 03:49:08 pm
Not sure if anyone aside from Turbo is playing this, but I will post this anyways.

My friend and I have been doing a video series every week, and this week it's dedicated to the best game since Dark Souls 1.  ;)

I will update the thread with the continuation of this video, posted on Wednesday and Friday.

Any thoughts on the game so far?

I'm thinking about picking this game up sometime this summer. I only played Demon's Souls for a few minutes when it was free on PS+, but never really got into it.

I want to try getting into this type of game, though, and I hear that DS2 takes the best aspects of the series and makes everything better. The new TLOU dlc + this game should hold me over a bit until Destiny comes out on PS4  8)

This one might have the most straight-forward start out of all 3 games, so it's probably the best to start with. It still gets hard fast, and I'd argue it's the hardest of the 3. Although they just patched the game heavily, mostly making a lot of bosses/enemies easier, which makes me sad.

I'd suggest playing Dark Souls first. The dodging mechanics are very difficult to get the hang of this time, but maybe that's just because I was used to DS1's rolling. If you do get DS2, get that 20 ADP as soon as possible.  O0

Yeah. Adaptability is the secret "pro" stat, basically. It seems like it does nothing but really it's the most important.

The crazy thing is that guys on reddit/gamefaqs have tested the i-frames and concluded that maximum AGL (ADP+ATT) only gives around 3 more i-frames, so everyone has decided it's useless. I mean, I was really excited to try a dex build with one poison weapon and a bleed one, but the bonuses ADP grants are negligible. I've gotta say I'm disappointed with dual wielding. It's fun and all, but it's much better suited for power stancing Greatswords (the most fun you can possibly have in the game) than dual katanas or something.

I love me some power stance.
