Why is there so much negativity towards Dark Souls 2? I thought it was amazing. From narrative to play style to environment. Its a beautiful game. Its less gritty than the first Dark Souls, sure, but that doesn't matter. It's a quality game. Sure, I'm excited to return to the roots of the souls, but DS2 brought a new world with bigger expanse. I do hope that the world is connected again, though. Everything leads to everything. I do hope that the multiplayer experience of DS2 sticks, though. Thoughts?
