Of course, when the real version comes out, most people won't bother until it's 75% off and they made all the money for the game from selling Counter Strike stuff.
I would like to know this as well.Under_your_bed said:Hey, he said that Souls 2 was "easier for the noobs". As a noob to the Souls series, is it a good idea to do 2 first to get the hang of it and then do one? Any veterans got anything to say?
Sort of, yea. I felt like the beginning tried to ease you into it more, at least as much as can be expected from this series. There were rarely any bosses that took me more than two or three tries to beat. That being said, some of the later areas can be pretty difficult, but you'll probably have a pretty good idea of what you're doing by then, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.Under_your_bed said:Hey, he said that Souls 2 was "easier for the noobs".

Dark Souls 2 is a fine place to start. The stats and tutorials are more forgiving. It's made lots of improvements in terms of accessibility. It's easier to understand equipment burden, upgrading equipment, and other things. A few seconds going over the stats of your character sheet and what they mean will take you a lot farther in 2 than in the other games, imo.marioandsonic said:I would like to know this as well.Under_your_bed said:Hey, he said that Souls 2 was "easier for the noobs".

Still, really enjoyed the video. That barrage of slaps had me rolling on the floor.

Yahtzee's videos always seem to generate interesting threads. So many people who either passionately agree or disagree.Branindain said:Oh look, Machine Man got in before Zira this time.Machine Man 1992 said:Here's a tip: Don't.Under_your_bed said:Hey, he said that Souls 2 was "easier for the noobs".

There are better, less frustratingly ass-backwards games out there that are worth far more of your time and money.
Yes I hate the series with every fibre of my being, why do you ask?
You know when console fanboys come onto forums to tell you that games on the other console, that they haven't played, are bad? I've always found those people so interesting and insightful.
That's true. My personal favourite Yahtzee thread is anytime he reviews a Nintendo game, ever. Those poor Ninty fans are on the defensive something fierce, even when he's sorta nice to them (which is almost never, but then, join the club).Ishal said:Yahtzee's videos always seem to generate interesting threads.

One thing that I've been wondering is if your health loss from dying in Dark Souls 2 caps out at half, or if it's possible to pretty much put yourself into a permanent fail state by depleting your health too much and not having any "humanity restorers" available.Rabidkitten said:When you go back and play Demons' Souls (Yes its plural possessive), you will notice how much of dark souls pulls from Demons' Souls. Blighttown and the Gutter are just new versions of the Valley of Defilement. Demons Souls had half your health bar gone always when you were not human. The world design was also similar as well, A central hub with a woman who upgrades you that spans off into numerous hubs that you can start warping from at the start. Actually Dark Souls 2 imo is more Demons's Souls then Dark Souls.
It is possible, but unlikely. If you sin, i.e. invade and kill players or murder NPC's, your health with start to dip below 50 if you keep dying.Therumancer said:One thing that I've been wondering is if your health loss from dying in Dark Souls 2 caps out at half, or if it's possible to pretty much put yourself into a permanent fail state by depleting your health too much and not having any "humanity restorers" available.Rabidkitten said:When you go back and play Demons' Souls (Yes its plural possessive), you will notice how much of dark souls pulls from Demons' Souls.

I'm waiting for the PC version, but this is the big question that's been bugging me about this one.
There's a conflict here, unfortunately. If you start with two, you get a tigher, more "secure" experience in terms of design (a lot of iteration that will "feel" good), but that would mean that if you went back to Dark Soul 1, you wouldn't have any of it.Under_your_bed said:Hey, he said that Souls 2 was "easier for the noobs".
