I finished all three of the Dark Souls games and I can't see why are some people hating on this one so much. It sure isn't as good as 1 but it at least tried to do something new and I love it for that. I enjoyed it quite a bit more than 3 that's for sure. It's original and the world is so much more interesting to explore.
The bosses are hit or miss though... super low lows but very high highs as well. Great game overall.
The controls on mouse and keyboard are super weird, jarring even but I got used to them after a few minutes.
I'm 100% sure people hate Dark Souls 2 because of the scholar of the first sin which literally tarnished the reputation of this game and is posing as the "definitive edition" so people are unwilling to give "vanilla" a fair try. That's all.
P.S.: I don't remember who I got this game from all these years ago but thank you so much:)
