Ive had the game for almost 2 weeks now. Its actually very good! Much better than the first one in every way. Graphics look pretty good too. Some of the facial animations are off though.

There has already been a patch which fixed a few things i noticed. The camera sensitivity was way off when i first tried the game. Its been fixed. Game is pretty fun and doesnt seem as hard as dark souls, but its still a great challenge. More balanced difficulty to me than Souls games.

If you already have it then doesn’t that mean you’re under embargo like the rest of us? i.e. should you really be talking about it before the date the publishers requested...

Nicknasty1673d ago

I guess scold me for trying to pass on some information about the game to my fellow gamers. I dont run a gaming site or do reviews, so i think its safe to say its quite alright what i say.

Im not providing any spoilers either. Free to talk about a game im playing. Figured id give people a heads up and share a bit of my experience spent with the game. Great game at that!

He's just an ordinary person, he's not a company.

rob-GP1670d ago

If you obtained the game from a store and are just a member of the public then fair enough - say what you want. However, I would have thought that if you've had it that long then you would have either been a reviewer, YouTuber or (hopefully not) bought it off one of the above either as someone you know or on Ebay.

My original message wasn't trying to 'scold' anyone, it was just seeing if you were aware you were basically breaking the embargo (had you received it from the publishers or PR).

Abnor_Mal1673d ago

Yeah, but they're both not in 4k/60, so fail.

Nah I'm just funning, but this game does sound better that the first.

Kumakai1673d ago

that was pretty vague on details other than to say 1080p/60 and upscaled 4k. checkerboard? dynamic rez? what is that rez for each? some of us have both consoles and want the one that checks the priorities. i'll assume the one x runs 1800p and the pro at 1440p since thats how these things usually net out when native 4k isn't an option.

Darksonic221673d ago

The only details I had were the ones I put down, if I had more I'd have listed them :)

mogwaii1672d ago

I can't wait till 4k 60 fps is standard.....and it bloody better be come next gen. And yes I know I know, PC has had it and more for years, great, but PC doesn't have all the amazing console exclusives does it, no.

Most Underrated Soulslike Games

Who knew that the unassuming 2008 title Demon’s Souls would wind up innovating an entirely new subgenre of games? Since FromSoftware released Demon’s Souls and the equally influential Dark Souls series, “Soulslike” games have attracted gamers looking for challenging gameplay, deep character building, and worlds steeped in lore. Here are 10 of the most underrated Soulslike games available now.

Just going through DS 2 now, it's really not a bad game.

LoveSpuds598d ago

I thinks it's a fantastic game personally, even the weakest DS game in the series is better than most other action RPGs in my opinion.

Hope you enjoy your playthrough chief 👍

GoodGuy09598d ago (Edited 598d ago )

It was a great game, there is no souls game from fromsoft that was bad. My only complaints were the visuals and bosses were a bit too easy. Other than that it was very fun and probably the only soulsbourne game I played nonstop and beat in just a couple of weeks pre-elden ring (Well, it took me to beat three other soulsborne games which took me years to beat to finally actually get hooked to souls, so I was very hungry for more souls lol).

People didn't like it because of no Miyazaki and the only game I really loved from him was just Bloodborne (Ofc the rest were great games too). Bloodborne is my #1, Ds2 is my #2.

lonewolf10597d ago

Yeah bosses are not exactly hard that I have come across so far. The graphics are a mixed bag, Scholar of the First Sin on PC with no mods.
Admission time even though I own all Souls games day one editions across the formats, Elden Ring was the only one that really clicked with me to a point I had to finish it. Now going back to ones released on PC to finish those or try to. Bloodborne I wish would come to PC but I might fire up my PS 4 again to play it.

Ramboforlife597d ago

It's wonky here and there, but it's still fun to play and a great world to explore.

Jiub598d ago

People gave DS2 way too much hate.

saint_seya598d ago

Im one of the few that loved the game, i think im like like lvl 550 or something like that.

Father__Merrin598d ago

If you haven't played Ashen yet it's worth a go very good game

Demon's Souls was a 2009 release.

Deck13 Says The Surge 2 Next-Gen Patch Might Not Happen, Calls New Project "something fresh"

From GameWatcher: "Developer Deck13 has confirmed once more, responding to a fan question on Twitter, that the project it is currently working on is not The Surge 3.

Aside from The Surge 3 not being in development, Deck13 also cast doubt on the possibility of a next-gen patch for The Surge 2."

That's mildly disappointing, as they had hinted at a follow-up. Still, going something fresh is perhaps the better way to go.

HyperMoused1233d ago

One was brillaint i felt two was a step back, control wise and the story and environments

SamPao1233d ago

I just started it last week. And yeah hasnt clicked yet. The first was really something special

Nacho_Z1233d ago

I didn't really like the first game, it wasn't bad but it didn't work for me. I think they need to stop making not so great Souls spin offs and find their own thing.

IanTH1233d ago

I don't think they need to do a next-gen upgrade, but it would be nice if they could push a quick update to allow 4k60 through backwards compatibility. I'd imagine that wouldn't take a lot of manpower, and really is the more important feature for an action game anyway.
