This is one of the main reasons i dont buy PC games at release day;90% of them have some sort of bugs or other technical problems that need patch.

Somebody3660d ago

Strangely enough when people say Day One Patch all I think about are console games, AAA titles in particular.

With PC games though you expect them to have some sort of bugs and fans just patiently wait for the patches or look up for some DIY solutions others might find...like the ones posted on this article.

Not saying you're wrong(for me buying games during sales are not just about the low prices) but in this day and age launch bugs are not exclusively a PC thing.

I'm curious if you can even name a single console game that didn't have a patch that fixes some bugs/technical issues.

I doubt you could even name a piece of software that doesn't (or didn't) have some form of bugs/technical issues.

Have you seen me mention consoles!?This article is about Dark Souls 2 on PC;no one is saying that console games dont have bugs and other issues too but my point of view is strick about PC because the nature of the article.Get it? But maybe i should just stated that i dont buy games on PC and consoles on release day anymore because it really gets me angry and sad when i see that more often then never developers have the tendency of releasing games in a broken state or full of bugs.. to meet a release date.

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

The game isn't good though.

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

CrimsonWing6966d ago

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville66d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

I just made my character look like Chuck Norris.

All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
