Im taking a wait and see approach. If the new directors get what dark souls is all about and make a sequel with the same kind of feel then yeah Ill purchase the game in a second. However their talk about accessibility and difficulty but not the deep and piece it together lore that dark souls had has me very concerned that they don't get what made dark souls an artistic masterpiece
So Im taking the wait and see approach. It could be everything I want it to be, or it could be another case of publishers forgetting their core fan base and taking a loss on a game because they tried appealing to a new audience without keeping the old one

Dat dual wielder!!! Dat mage !!! Must play !
I can't wait to play this game. Ones of the best games at E3 imo, along with Witcher 3.
Getting it on Steam obv.

You need to include a fourth option in that poll. I never played Demons' Souls, and Dark Souls frustrated me too much to say I genuinely liked it, but I know for sure I'll be buying this.
I'm really, really hoping I'm wrong, but the fact that Dark Souls got so caught up in the macro-world while leaving me next to nothing, aiming for "subtle" but missing the mark and hitting "irrelevant," was one of my two major complaints. I know for a fact that a story can encompass world-building like that while also giving relatable context (because I loved Soulbringer), so I still hold out some hope.
Translation: "You want context? Screw you, player, make that shit up yourself! Here's another load of implicit clues that build the world and lore while making sure absolutely none of it directly relates to what you, the character, are doing. Just try to get immersed, you schmuck!"

I do like a lot of what I'm hearing, but something from that first vid had me worried. He almost makes it sound like enemies lock on to you and can magically pivot to hit you even if you roll, and that sounds like pure bullshit.
EDIT: the more I think about it the more I don't like the nerf to backstabs. The only reason I could sorta tolerate trudging back to a boss for the 40th time in Dark Souls was because the minions on the way could be dealt with fairly efficiently. Forcing me to have a drawn out face to face duel with every single hollow between the bonfire and the boss is gonna make me run out of patience really quick.

I'll buy it . On day one . Like i did Dark souls . But if they made the game easier in any way , form or fashion , it will be my last . However , the last two games were fantastic , therefor , i want to support the developpers as much as i can . So basically , they have my attention , what will they do with it ? Will they continue to give me,a guy who has bought both their games new off the shelves , more of what i want/like , or ditch me and try and fill their boat with as many as possible ?
While both options are reasonable ,and accessibility is not a bad thing , the reasons why i liked the game in the first place may be lost with option 2.

I'm sure I'll play it, but the difficulty will stop me from paying full price for it.
Also, it's coming out in a horrible time. March 2014, are they serious? Both the PS4 and Xbone will have been out for three months. And neither system can play the past gen games.

Day one. I'm very cynical about the number 3 of any franchise, but to be honest, the announcement of this game made me as excited as a kid. I didn't even know I still had it in me.
Black Knight Greataxe! And Washing Pole for when I'm feeling adventurous.shapaza said:
Even thought I really should wait to see if the game is good, I am very hype for this one.
Lets be honest here, the new Dark Souls maybe isn't the masterpiece we all think.

I picked up dark souls for £8.99 and would have been seriously disappointed if Id paid full price for this deeply flawed game.
I simply dont get the hype. Combat was broken, multiplayer is crippled by lag with teleporting wraiths and hits landing from no where near you and some of the traps are just cheap. I also think the "story" gets too much credit. Granted the world is fleshed out if you read all of the fluff but its a case of: congratulations, you have no real back story, motivations, interests or goals. Now go ring these bells, Im sure theres a good reason to... Does that really pass for story telling? So I may pick it up eventually if its under a tenner...

Hell yeah I am. Demon's souls was alright, but Dark Souls is amazing, and I can't wait to play the next one. See the improvements, enjoy the new challenges, and mess around with all the new stuff.
Favorite Weapons: Longsword. Any Artorias Sword. Moonlight Greatsword. Darkhand. The Pyro's starting handaxe.
Runners up: The sickle sword, Quelaag's furysword and chaos blade, claymore and dragonbone fist.
I am a bit worried about the combat. While it's paced faster and smoother then dark souls it seems, I have this odd feeling it's more Demon's soulsish. Which I feel is a negative as Dark had better combat in my opinion. Just less polish. ]:

I played a lot of Dark Souls. Can't say I ever really enjoyed it. It was quite a feat of endurance, but I persisted with it, mainly because of how everyone else said it was awesome. I probably won't get the sequel until it's massively discounted.
Absolutely.
Dark Souls was my favorite game of this generation. I haven't seen any of the preview footage, and some of the things I've been hearing are a bit worrying... I don't really mind if they streamline it to draw in new players, that's actually a good thing. As long as the spirit of the game and gameplay is intact then I'm excited.
We'll see when it comes out.

I'll get it day one, even though I don't have a working TV lol
My favorite weapons in Demon's were a Moon Kilij and Moonlight Sword. In Dark it was Great Scythe and Balder Side Sword.

I was cautious before these videos.
Now, it's a definite day one purchase.
Hell, I'm a series fan with hundreds of hours in both games, so it was probably going to be that way anyway.
Also, thanks for posting VaatiVidya's stuff; the guy deserves more attention.
As for your question, I have many favourites, such as the Balder Side Sword, the Great Scythe, the Great Club, the Black Knight Greataxe, the Moonlight Greatsword and many others.
If it exists, chances are I've made a character specifically for it.
Except whips.
They suck.

I've put 500+ hours into Demon's Souls and 1300+ hours into Dark Souls.
I'll let you draw your own conclusion.
[sub][sub]I reserved Dark Souls II the very day the option was available.[/sub][/sub]
And my favorite weapons were Moonlight Greatsword, Chaos Blade and Black Knight Greataxe.
I intend to make a Dual Swordsman when I play and just like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls before it, Dark Souls II is going to have to defend itself from me. Not the other way around.
