First impressions about Dark Souls 2 by DeRiften

Played the time for an hour or so and I've gotta say. The graphics are terrible, they could have been decent half a decade ago but now? Simply dreadful. The character customization is easily the worst I've ever seen; every option turns your character into more of a monster so if you want something that looks remotely human, you've gotta stick with the presets... and the albino race. The white race looks asian, the asian race looks yellow and the black race... is a carrot. I mean there's no explaining it, it's just a carrot. The voice acting is also pretty mediocre and the lip syncing is completely outta sync.

Now for the good part! Even though the game still has shitty port syndrome and is unplayable with a mouse and keyboard, if you have a controller the controls are more fluid than in the other games, no more stiffness and awkwardness when turning around suddenly or stuff like that. I noticed a bit of lag with anti-aliasing turned on, so there's probably optimization issues in the background (possible memory leak).

Overall, if you can look past the non-existent story and all the major flaws and focus only on the gameplay, the game's pretty fantastic. Now we've just gotta wait for the first mods to fix it!

Also, have a sexy-ass screenshot of my fabulous character.
