In what way? I ask because I still haven't played it, only Demon and the first Dark Souls. I hear from a lot of people Dark Souls II dropped the ball.

What didn't you like about it?

I heard that a lot, too. I played the game on the PS4 and couldn't put it down. Had 80+ hours on my first playthrough. If you are a fan, give it a chance. You won't regret it. Especially since it's been on sale and will continue to go down in price.

I'll be first in line buying Dark Souls 3.

Biggest was 10 respawn limit on enemies. I ended up stuck in an area for awhile dying at the boss and having run through a rather long journey of desolation. Didnt like the smaller timed summoning aspect ad it seemed most people used that as opposed to the full one. I didnt like how every area had multiple bosses. Made it feel more disjointed. And it just didnt feel the same overall.

The limited respawns was okay with me. Even with limited farming opportunities, you ended up overpowered by NG+. And it sure made it much less tedious when you did have trouble with a difficult boss. I think I enjoyed most of it a little bit more than DS1, and found it a bit easier.

Sorry for my confusion but what do you mean by 10 respawn limit on enemies? Are you saying they made it easier and only up to 10 enemies will respawn if you die and have to start the area over?

what I understood is, if you died more than 10 times, enemies won't respawn, so you want be able to farm?

You could only kill each 10 times and they would stop respawning until either you completed the play through or burnt a bonfire ascetic to reset them.

Then I probably won't waste my time on that game. A decent part of these games isn't just learning the enemies and bosses attack patterns but grinding to level up. Unless you're that f***ing great or godlike at video games if you don't grind for levels in these games you do s*** damage against the bosses, even some of the regular enemies.

Hopefully they do away with that in DS 3. Such a stupid idea but then again, I guess it's to increase the difficulty somewhat. Even though my friend who got me into these games says DS2 is by far the easiest out of the first three games.

Hell, I still think Demon Souls is the hardest in some ways.
