Dark Souls II

[Bob Kelso]

Oh, how I love the Souls games. I picked up DS2 day one, and... frankly, I'm beginning to question my weapon choice. A lightning-infused longsword seems like a good bet, but it hits the ground with every swing, and it's kinda ungainly. I might try switching to something with better reach.

*bolded by me*
The one from the knight just inside the Fallen Giant Forest? I'm using that one and the flame longsword back and forth. I just found a halberd so I might put that to the test, but they blew chunks in DS so I'm skeptical on its efficacy.

So far I like it, though the bosses aren't quite as interesting so far, bar one blast from the past early in the game. I get the feeling that'll change as I progress though, judging from what I'm stuck on now.

Those goddamned Ruins Sentinels. Three bosses at once? Fuck that. Especially when you've downed the first one and the other two come at you all at once. Attacking one just gives the other room to hit you! Ornstein and Smough were bad enough- oh, guess who's back this time around?- but these guys? Fuck these guys.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the last giant battle it was bloody brilliant when he ripped off his own arm and beat me with it, I had to struggle to stay alive because I was laughing so hard.
Yeah, I expected the worst when I came across them the first time due to the power of the ones in Anor Londo in DS but they aren't so bad. I agree that it's utter bullshit about the three though, I end up strafing forever after the first one dies, waiting for an opening. I had trouble with Ornstein and Smough with my melee playthrough but when I went Sorceror on my second I beat the brakes off 'em with some Soul Mass and Soul Spears.

Oh, and anyone know what's at the bottom of the well in Majula? Shit is creepy and it keeps killing me when I jump.

I think you need a metric fuckton of health and perhaps a ring to get down there, it's supposedly a whole other area.
