      Brightstone sounded like a cool place.
      It's the only place in a Dark Souls game I had to pull out a map (before an eventual cleanup run done maybe 4-5 areas later).
      And I STILL HAD TO MAKE MY OWN MAP.
      So confusing with all the one way drops, and so annoying because of the mages that reset when you go back to the top.
      So it's also the first time I ever equipped a bow.
      It's kinda like Amana in a way. Also seemed like a cool place, but the nearly invisible dropoffs and mages make it hell. Supposed to be enjoying the atmosphere but I'm glued face to the ground trying to tell where the cliff of death is under the water.
      Place that definitely needed more time was Aldia's though. That's it?! is all I can think about that place. About 1/4th the size it should be.
      And with that in mind, I kinda feel the same about Heide's. After Forest of Giants... which was probably their demo level or whatever, Heide's seems small and simplistic.

    If there is any souls game to remake, its definitely Dark Souls 2. There is just so much that would be absolutely perfect with just a little polish.
    Even just taking the soul counter off from match making and making it level based instead would improve the game drastically. That and item placement.

      Yeah but in my opinion the biggest flaw of ds2 is your characters movement. It feels delayed and like you are not 100% in control. It almost feels like you are suggesting what your character should do rather than having full control. Another problem with movement is the delay before you can roll after attacking. It makes it feel less like Souls and more like a turn based game and it totally sucks.

    It can be so hard trying to bring an imagine into reality. Perfect example is the very first picture. While I think they got it to look a lot like the concept art. It didn't manage to bring out the atmosphere and appeal of the concept art. The Concept Art looks a lot more homey, kind of what I'd expect from a witch. While the version we got has a lot of details missing.

  • @Lepoetism
    @Lepoetism 2 роки тому +5

    I will definitely like a remake with better graphics, but at least we want good lighting, making the game -in some areas- darker would make a huge difference, for example: the exploding enemies in Brume Tower, when they explode, the explosion almost doesn't light the place, another thing is that some bosses are supposed to shake the ground when they hit it, like Fume Knight, he is huge, and carries a giant sword, however, when he hits the ground, nothing happens, unlike Gascoigne from Bloodborne who could shake entire Yharnam by a strike of his axe, although he is way smaller than Fume Knight.
