From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

[Jack Dandy]

Grab the Scholar version, DLC areas are fun as heck.

 

[Murk]

Might as well go scholar. The vanilla game is basically empty in terms of online/co-op. Also, you won't know which things are different and which are not changed -- so it won't matter if some are "annoying" (which is both vague and subjective.)

If you want my vote, go for scholar.

 

[janior]

One more question - lore with dlc is starting to make any sense whatsoever?

 

[Jack Dandy]

Not really. They're mostly "side stories".

 

[Gentle Player]

Scholar was a shameless moneygrub that should have been a free update. Having said that, I think the changes were all positive and if one doesn't already own DS2 then they should get Scholar.

[Raghar]

But there is few months before they release DS3, what should they do until then?

 

[Metro]

Play DS1

 

[Jasede]

Or Demon's Souls.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Keep guarding the belltowers, duh.

 

[Raghar]

Folks, are you playing game more than once? That's quite autistic behavior.

 

[Metro]

Overusing the word autistic is autistic behavior.

 

[Raghar]

You used that word twice in one sentence.

That's scary.

 

[Caim]

You mean autistic.

 

[Murk]

The Autist(tm).

 

[Metro]

$25 for this shit during Steam sale? With DS3 just around the corner, f' dat.

 

[Mozg]

They probably just want to hit up the people that never bought SotFS after getting DS2 core for 15 bucks at some point, which is the upgrade-to-sotfs price

(got me)

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

Scrub is just scared of getting rekt.

Muhzaki's tiny noodle could never prepare you for big manly Tanimura dong.



But really $25 for a huge game with 3 DLCs is nothing. Maybe 75% during christmas sale...

 

[Metro]

Rather spend it on D1P of DS3! The TRUE sequel.

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

More like

Rather spend it X 25 on the Prestige Edition pre-order

 

[Mozg]

Man getting through early DS2 is pretty boring. That's not a DS1 vs DS2 thing

I wish they'd let you import saves to Sotfssfdts, the best thing about DS2 is that I don't have to replay the game to pop in and ascetic something I feel like doing

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

There's finally a -90% sale for Scholar if you own DS2 on Steam. Time to get it for those who have been undecided.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Come on guys, buy a few hundred copies, maybe they'll get enough money to power up their servers...

 

[Martius]

Sounds good, too bad I already finished base game and two dlc. At this point I will just wait for Dark Souls 3.
