Dark Souls II

[Bob Kelso]

Maybe its because i played DS1 that DS2 didnt feel so.

I felt the same about the level of difficulty, and I think the above is exactly why. DS 1 was so hard because of it's newness and level of difficulty, after I got used to it the rest just fell in line and DS 2 was a breeze.

Just beat the game, I bent the last three bosses over my knee and shoved lightning spears up their arses.

New game+ is like a whole new expereince.. new enemies differen't situations.. It's not just a "lets knock the difficulty up" kind of thing.. Trust me it is worth a second play through. Some parts even require 4-5 play throughs to get to new areas.. (Think castle room.. 2 throne chairs.. you know what im talking about :p). I would highly recommend continuing your journey.

Oh yes, I've completed the game multiple times on many characters now. It's a great deal of fun.
