muito bom pra passar o tempo e ficar com raiva e quebrar o pc, recomendo total
Dark Souls 2 walked so Elden Ring can run. Drangleic was so refreshing in comparison to the interconnectivity for interconnectivity's sake of Anor Londo. Do not get me wrong, DS1 IS great in it's own right. However, for me the visuals, storytelling, and imersiveness will always eclipse that of DS1. There was real genuine variety to Drangleic in comparison to various shades of murky filth. And the non-linearity of the game was incredibly refreshing, there was always another path to take, but simultaneously, all roads felt like they inevitably led to Drangleic Castle. The story was also much more philosophically relevant which I appreciate, especially the alternate ending SotFS added, Aldia is such an interesting character and you only interact with him a handful of times. And finally, the crown jewel - Majula. My home, my love. Majula is by far the best Hub in any FromSoft game, and I have played them all except Demons Souls. The abandoned village at the end of the world that slowly fills with wanderers on their own journeys. Had FromSoft had the character quest refinement we see in Elden Ring within this setting this game would be much more beloved. I truly believe that. Finally, to be objective, DS2 DOES have some very frustrating things. Adaptability, certain camera angles, Hallowed max health debuff, lack of Estus Shards, and reliance on Life Gems (although that last one actually grew on me). I went into DS2 with the expectation of this game's reputation. That it would be a janky, clunky mess full with terrible mechanics and rushed concept design. I did meet some of that, but I found a world that I felt like I was genuinely experiencing for the first time, a feeling that no FromSoft has been able to replicate since Elden Ring. DS2 doesn't take the top spot for me, ER will likely always hold that. But it solidified itself comfortably at number 2, and turned out to be the first FromSoft game I 100%'d.

Great game, don't recommend 100% unless you want mental torture.
the most miserable experience i had in this game was in the shrine of amana i think it shortened my lifespan by 30 years the amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spells constantly firing at you is insane after awhile i started brute forcing my way through, it was like crawling through mud my friends were asking if i was okay it was so bad my friend that convinced me to play this game helped me through to the third bonfire after i begged for mercy. i hate the boss i was not in the mood at the time i was so pissed the runback had mages in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ circle jerk that blocked the path the only part of the boss that could take damage was the face which for me it hid 90% of the time i had my friend kill it for me i dont care this ♥♥♥♥ sucked honorable mention the spider area i hate spiders holy ♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss weapons being locked there was just taunting me when i was looking through the wiki i had my servant clear the area and boss for me i couldnt the most enjoyable experience i had....... i guess the mirror guy was sort of fun? anyway i might replay it th thought of replaying it is fun but actually playing it is turbo hell 11/10
the greatest game ever
เน้นให้เยอะ แต่ไม่เน้นปรุงให้อร่อย
Questo gioco, mi fa rivalutare la mia fede verso Dio. Le boss fight divertono quanto un esame alla prostata fatto da Gennaro che vende sushi ad alcatraz come lavoro part-time, e sono intelligenti quanto il cactus che mi sta crescendo sul soffitto. i nemici normali sono peggio della mafia quando ti chiede il pizzo, ogni passo che faccio gli devo almeno 8000 anime e un frullato alla pesca altrimenti mi fanno un esame molto invadente alle vie urinarie. la storia pare ai livelli di Harry Potter se Harry Potter fosse stato scritto da topolino dopo essere stato lasciato da Minnie. Codesto gioco nel complesso, mi causa problemi mentali che non si risolveranno nemmeno dopo 67 anni di sedute da uno PSICHIATRA, ma dopo tutto, consigliato!
Very overhated areas are amazing bosses are really lacking sadly 1st tried most of them only the dlc really have some challange for example sir alonne and the blue smelter demon runback if you play it you should def play ALL the dlcs they are the best parts of the game
