Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin

Big Boss · April 02, 2015, 12:44:14 PM

Is there any point in buying it

Also would anyone else rather they did DS1 instead of 2

Sandtrap · April 02, 2015, 12:47:59 PM

If you're a 360 user you get scholar for free apparently. Scholar was made for the Juan but obviously the majority of the souls community is still on the 360.

Hey man. Free is free.

And Souls II obviously wasn't as good as the first. But there's still fun to be found in the game regardless.

I've beaten it like 4 times and I don't really find it enjoyable any more. The environments are bland and weirdly placed and some of the bosses feel underwhelming.

A lot of people missed this game because of its release date after the new gen was out

And it's got all the dlc

Incan · April 02, 2015, 12:59:15 PM

I got it today.

So the new enemy placements are a bit shit, they just added more enemies and didn't really fix anything. The enemies are there because they can be, rather then it be engaging and fun.

The new item locations are good and fun, finding them again is nice.

More people in PvP is pretty fun, going through and area with three people is fun, mainly because of the new enemy placements.

I'd say hold off until you can get it for 15-25% off, unless you don't have the DLC then you should get it.

Longevity of the campaign usually wears down after the 3rd or 4th run.

I was talking pvp wise.

get Bloodborne, its the better game

🍁 Aria 🔮 · April 02, 2015, 03:57:03 PM

I'm getting it because it looks/runs better than my PS3 copy and it comes with the DLC (that I never bought).

I do feel kind of stupid buying it considering the flak I gave my friends for buying cowadoody and TLoU again on 8th gen.

Bonewheel Barry · April 02, 2015, 04:04:03 PM

Not buying a game I already own.

How can a game be better than itself, specially when the version in question has no Giantdad?

Anyway I with they ported both. I didn't get to far into the first one because my 360 bit the dust before I started actually giving a crap about the game. I had just downloaded it because it was free

Onion · April 02, 2015, 06:10:43 PM

I already have DS2 with all the DLC. Is there any reason to get this?

Raw Sugar · April 02, 2015, 06:26:32 PM

I want to play it just because. Is there any continuity with the first game?

I heard it had the textures we were promised in the E3 trailers, as well as a few more features. Though that alone probably wouldn't encourage me to buy it again.

My 360 is dead so for me, yes.

You fight Ornstein again and you can find Havel's armor. Also in NG+ you get the 4 Lord Souls from DS1.

PC update was actually quite underwhelming from what I've seen.

No, I mean the Xbone/PS4 is basically the PC version + plus the new add-ons.

The DSII we all saw back when it was shown off doesn't exist beyong that.

I know, I was adding on that the DX11 update didn't do much in the way of graphical changes.

Graphically yes, but the main reason to get it is the new enemy and item placements which are pretty nice.

Also 6 players online.

The more co op partners is kind of overpowered if you ask me. If you all attack at the same time you can stunlock a lot of the bosses now. So the easy ones like the Dragonrider get just utterly destroyed almost instantly.

It's easy, but it really is rather fun.
