I’ll wait to 2017 and the complete edition. I’m already tired of buying unfinished games
You mean the DLC or Sins of a Scholar?
I dont think they will do the later has there are no Last gen consoles this time.
Still, you do well to wait.
And it should be done with every game nowadays.
The same thing here, i didn’t buy any new game from august 2014 till now except “Ori and the blind forest” pretty disappointed by all the new games. At this time i play only old games from 2010 to 2013. i discover that i miss a lot of good games. maybe i’ll think about buying option late 2017or never.
yeah… plus i found that 2 was in so many ways inferior to DS1. Still a great game, but so many things about 2 kind of disappointed me.
Anything and everything in this vid explains exactly how i feel going from DS1 to DS2

Hopefully DS3 will be more like 1 and have less of the problems 2 had.
True. Those who rushes to get on day one are mostly those who wanted to boast being first to have the walkthrough out in youtube. That is that.
i am gonna just ignore DLCs and buy the original game and be done with it if it gets positive response by the crowd. it’s not like they are gonna add anything meaningful with DLCs (that’s the case most of the times with DLCs). arthurias stuff were sweet in Dark Souls 1 even though we got the full package but still, doubt they can pull it off again. Dark Souls 2 DLCs for example left me feel empty whenever i finished them and the last one was just a grind simulator.
But I don’t like to expend money in unfinished products, so I prefer to wait
Directed by Miyazaki?
Now people won’t be able to blame the imaginary B-team for everything even slightly disappointing about the game.
there is no imagination involved. there is a “B” team. Dark Souls 1 team worked on Bloodborne while others worked on Dark Souls 2. that’s how there was only 1 year difference between the two. (2014, 2015) now only Miyazaki and some other dude from Bloodborne returned for Dark Souls 3.
don’t get me wrong though, i liked Dark Souls 2 and i don’t agree with some that think it is a lesser game just because Miyazaki wasn’t involved. he basically keeps using/copying his Demon Souls game so i don’t see that much difference when others try to copy his games for him as well. the difference is, he keeps making new “IP”s so he has to make more drastic changes. but the B team were ordered to make the first sequel for Dark Souls, so they didn’t have as much freedom as he does specially considering his position overall in From Software company.
Dude, it’s not imaginary. The majority of the people that made DS 1 didn’t even work on DS 2 coz they were making Bloodborne. Just look at how detailed Bloodborne is compared to DS 2. How meticulous it looked. Research the facts yourself for proof
Dark souls 3 and Naruto two favourite games mmmmm cant wait
“payable” is a questionable term after the PC versions of the last 2.
? it was playable. first one got a fix by an awesome modder and the second was optimized to some extent anyway. they are still better to be played with controller, but i finished both with kb/m….
What was broke in the fisrt one? I only used the DSfix patch to play it in HD, but I didn’t do anything to make it playable, it was already.
DS2 was not playable at all, because the unresponsive and laggy mouse, still waiting for an oficial patch.
Prepare to Die edition and Scholar of the First Sin edition were launched on “present” (now old gen) gen too
