Looks identical to the PC DX9 version.
No upgrade needed.
Edit: Also, throwing more dudes at you doesn't make a better or more difficult Souls experience. That's just lazy design.

You are conviniently skipping all the rehashed content that DS2 is infamous for, which is the very definition of lazy design in my book.Can be said about half the content in this game, unfortunately.That's just lazy design.
All-in-all, calling Dark Souls 2 content lazy is just that...an effortless, meaningless criticism. Certainly there are many flaws (though most of them permeate the previous games just as much, even if revisionists do their damnedest to pass them off), but this isn't a credited critique in any way, yet it certainly has a whole lot of traction among the "DkS2 is mediocre/worse than DkS1" crowds.

Probably the most illustrative example of this phenomenon is people who call Najka a Quelaag clone
My first encounter with armor spider - hold purple flame shield up then attack when he's down. When my health got low, I munched on 1000000 bunches of grass I had. The boss is too static and a shield with fire resist shuts it down.
Flamelurker should've been the archdemon.
Leechmonger and Dirty Colossus are absolute shit too.
Astraea is a gimmick and not really a boss. Old Monk is a gimmick too - playing this shit offline was lame.
You really have Phalanx, Tower Knight, Penetrator, Allant, Flamelurker, (maybe) Fat Bird Dude, Old Hero (too easy) and Maneaters.
Shit like Sinh/Ivory King/Fume Knight beat the shit out of anything DeS has.
But what's all this First Sin malarkey? I got the base game without any DLC on the PC, but what else can I expect from this new version? Will there be some kind of bundle with all that stuff in, or is that only in a new and complete version of the game?
to open kings gate you need ring that you will find much later in game. either go heide->wharf->lost bastille/majula pit->grave of siants->gutter/huntsman corpse->harvest valley or check once again around Pursuers battlefieldAlright, so unless I want to rebuy for the DirectX.11 version I should just get the DLC in its current $25 version or whenever Gaben blesses us with a discount.
I've been making my way through now, and unless I'm missing a critical item (something to open that bigass door) or some kind of door I simply cannot progress through the Forest of Fallen Giants. I found three bonfires, beaten the boss, found the cartographer, did the thing with whom I suspect is the new Patches and even managed to best the Pursuer. But where do I go from there? Should I look around there some more, or continue down that wharf area or find my way around Huntsman's Corpse?
Wait the point of this post to start with was that I wanna hear people talk about the new enemy placements because I think there's a ton of room for improvement there
Hey, I just have to ask, as an owner of DS2 + all of its DLC, am I going to have to buy Scholar of the First Sin? Also, is it gonna have the sweet shadowing missing from vanilla DS2?
