I actually really liked this track, remember watching this trailer over and over again before release.

Beautiful. Statue is better than I expected.
Yup. There was so much to explore and to loot. As I said, it took me almost two hours to reach
The Last Giant.
Well, not every area is going to be incredibly open. Dark Souls 1 had a few areas that split just in two directions like Heide's. And again, Forest of Fallen Giants provides exactly what you ask for and there are many more locations like that.
Well, specifically that the areas are smaller and more linear.
Heide's is the only area I've encountered so far (a bit over 10 hours in), that amounts to Lower Undead Burg linearity.
Regarding bonfires:
If the bonfires do not feel essential to you, or don't provide you with some sort of unfair advantage, then how are they so bad? Or is it just the amount that bothers you for some weird reason? I have troubles understanding that particular criticism to be honest.
Still, modern pop-rock for Dark Souls? The same 'casul' argument can be made for that song and how out of place it is as well. That's all I am saying. But not like it matters, they are doing the same kind of marketing for Dark Souls II and it in no way reflects on the actual OST. Thankfully, lol.
I guess.
I have a feeling it isn't. :-( If it is a lighting patch, I'll eat Velka yet again.Nah. It's the lighting patch
IT IS HUGE
IT MUST HAVE HUGE GUTS
Oh im deathly serious. Infact not only did i cancel my ds2 pre order but i also snapped my ds disc in half.
:lol:lol:lol
Thank you. I wasn't quite sure whether or not I was allowed to think that trailer music could be bad, but since you graciously granted me permission, I think I will.
Thank you so much, your highness.
Actually that permission did not extend to you.

You sound remarkably passive-agressive over my opinion of a trailer. Is the wait until the game releases getting to you these final hours, you silly hollow you?
There is no need to be upset.

Nope, doesn't fit at all. That's why it's perfect for the target audience of that video.

Ah, I figured it would be today since Titanfall reviews are starting to come out now, and it comes out along with DS tomorrow. :c
Regarding area's:
I've been through quite a few area's now. Dark Souls had Sen's Fortress, Anor Londo, the library and a few other huge open area's. I'm just not seeing that same level of openness with DaK2. Forest of Fallen Giants approaches it, No Man's Wharf also, but not on that same level and not as often.
Bonfires.
They are not essential in the sense that they are not placed at crucial points in the area's. Finding a bonfire in Dark Souls was sometimes exhilarating, I was sometimes practically begging to find one. You only reached a bonfire after overcoming various trials. In DaK2 bonfires are more common and seem to be placed much closer to each other, lessening the achievement of reaching one.

The true Dark Souls... is the wait before release date.
I really do. If you could, please give us a head up when it's live!
I'm still holding out for a fan made re-cut using one wing angel or one of the faster GGX tracks.
Yes i am kidding
yeah, the dark souls 1 quick look was all kinds of hilarious but it's also one of the reasons I'm avoiding watching gameplay of 2. For example I knew where Andre and his bonfire were because of the QL, I would have preferred to stumble upon them on my own.
Hopefully Dark Souls 2 doesn't put off Brad Demon's Souls for too long. I need to watch him scream at lizards some more.

This sound shady.
Okay, spoiler people, I need to spoil myself and ask... Is there a ship graveyard area? Because one of my favorite ideas for a Dark Souls level has always been a ship graveyard filled with hollowed galley slaves and pirates, sea monsters, ghosts, etc. Something like Nephalia Drownyard.
Make sure to spoil your answer.
It's amazing what a decade can do.

One Wing Angel... I remember the late 90's and early 2000's when One Wing Angel was still considered "the best boss theme ever".

Try Humanity.
How much do you charge per hour? I have a bear fetish.
LOL, only kidding. Good luck and I hope you get the game.
Looks like it will go up at 9 pm. That will make it much easier to skip for me.
Ha, yeah I will definitely watch the QL but only until I play for a few hours myself.

think so famitsu gave it 37/40
The Famitsu rating scale is 30-40 Where 30 is a 0 and 40 is a 10.
I want to know what epicnamebro and vaatividyaa have to say about the diminished visuals.
Diminished visuals that are still an upgrade from the first game. I'm sure they will be fine.
Forest of Fallen Giants, The Lost Bastille, Shady (?) Woods, Huntsman Copse and a more are easily on par with the areas you mentioned.
This is such a minor and nitpicky complaint. There are still those crucial bonfires and the more unimportant ones do not really ruin that for me. Also, I imagine that veterans have a much easier time clearing areas in Dark Souls 2, so it's somewhat hard to compare.
Good to hear.
Depending on who you ask and when you ask it, it's casule and dumbed down and easymode now, or it's way harder and more punishing now. Seriously.
This is a very valid point, my first playthrough of Dark Souls was pretty much a Survival Horror game, but now it's even kinda weird that I felt so desperate for a bonfire since they all seem so easy to reach. Just beating Dark Souls probably gives you enough knowledge of the game's systems to make going from bonfire to bonfire something trivial.
It would be nice to know what someone new to the franchise have to say about this.

Are they though, say, compared to Dark Souls Durante?

Not even close to demon, especially on later stages.
I don't agree they are on par, but I guess we just have different opinions on this.
I never said it was a huge flaw. I wouldn't say it's minor and nitpicky though, how much this issue matters to someone is personal.
I'm just doing an observation. There are more bonfires, and they are closer to each other. I find that a bit unfortunate, but YMMV.

Even though I'm a fan of Dark Souls and completed it. I'm still feeling pretty intimidated and scared shitless to play this game. I can already feel my nervousness creeping up at just the thought of exploring the unknown in a new Dark Souls game is terrifying. I think that's what I love about the series. It's dark ,creepy, intense, scary, and yet an adventurous, action, exploration game. Love it.

I shall sing my praises then, to whatever eldritch God rules over the world of DSII.
I have only played it on consoles. Anyway, I have seen nearly the entire game of Dark Souls II being played and it is without question better looking than Dark Souls I. Even things like glorious cloth physics and other effects that I will not spoil are in. I imagine it is only going to be even nicer on PC. Trust me, when more people actually play it and see some of the environments they will change their tune.
