Expect updates somewhere around twice a week! This is a very loose schedule  Also! Be sure to check out the other LP that is ongoing whenever this one is on break! Please, no discussion of Bloodborne or Dark Souls III! No spoilers for Dark Souls II allowed! This also means NO SPOILER TAGS. If you've gotta discuss something, go to the Games thread for it!  Also, no more rants about durability, please. It's a discussion that derails things and goes nowhere. Just drop it!    You guys know what this game is, I’m sure. Or at the very least, someone has hollered in your listening-hole about its lore or why it’s great or it’s bad or whatever. It started off with FromSoftware’s King’s Field games! Dark, atmospheric, mostly ugly dungeon crawlers. Early on in the PS3’s life, From made Demon’s Souls (which grabbed my attention as it’s basically a third-person King’s Field). Demon’s had a cult following of sorts, but Dark Souls is where things really started popping. #2 came out maybe a year after I wrapped up the first LP! By this point, there’s Bloodborne and now Dark Souls III! Oh goodness, so far behind. Why LP this one? Well, I ain’t skipping ahead! Also, we ended on a cliffhanger!   HEY! This is a blind LP, just like the last shitshow. Joining me from the very beginning are my pals Vicas, Kuvo, and Squint! Of them, it sounds as though Vicas has the freshest memory of what’s going on (but they could all be lying to me). Apparently the DLC re-shuffled a lot of enemy placements and encounters! Exciting! This LP itself is going to be handled using the PS4 release, which bundled everything together, DLC and all! Also, I goofed up the first session (system setup thing un-did itself), so it isn’t 60FPS; the source video quality also took a hit. Youtube muddies this already muddy game up quite a lot. I recommend downloading the source video, if possible! Particularly after episode 6! Vicas is also doing an informative Dark Souls 1 LP! Kuvo has a Xenoblade X LP or something too                      ((No-Music version for German viewers!))

Huh, I was just thinking about rewatching the old Dark Souls LP. What perfect timing. There are a lot of things I dislike about DS2 and I dislike the rerelease a lot more, so I'm curious about how you're gonna feel about the game as you go along.

Oh hey, this is finally happening! DS2 is pretty great and Scholar is on the whole even better, which is good considering that DS3 failed to learn a number of lessons from it. (Don't worry, I won't bother you with spoilers.) One of the most important things to learn in DS2 is that while 100%-physical block shields are harder to come by, they're actually far less necessary because the game supports a shieldless playthrough pretty well. (My avatar stuck with a Dex/Faith build using mostly spears two-handed, and let me tell you it's wonderful.) And additionally, your roll distance is shorter than in DS1, which paradoxically makes dodging more reliable because it's more precise.

What timing, I just started re-watching Squint's DeS LP the other day. Anyway, I loved your DS1 LP so much I ran out and nabbed DS2 as soon as it came out ... and then never managed to finish it. Looking forward to seeing you trudge through what I could not!
