| I Played The Dark Souls 2 Beta Last Night.
It was great, but they've added a new addition to the gameplay, where, if you die and become hallowed and then die again, and again without becoming unhallowed, your health starts to deminish. I can just see that being annoying rather than making the game harder. rThe two bosses that I fought were quite cool, but easy. I can see that being like the first Dark Souls when you start off at the asylum and the damage taken isn't so bad, till you move on to the real world. rThe tone of the game reminded me of Demon's Souls, too, which I thought was great. | | 1 |  | Faith No More

10.13.13 | thats very interesting. i hope this gets featured | Vakarian12
10.13.13 | that health thing sounds kinda cool, I think. | owen
10.13.13 | I'm jealous.
Heard about the health stuff and that you can be invaded even though you are hollowed.
Imagine getting spawnkilled at a bonfire untill you have 10 max hp | DrGonzo1937
10.13.13 | Yeah, it's pretty relentless in that sense. But I'm unsure if it'll come across annoying haha. But, then again, you have a hallow flask, so if there is enough of them out there, it shouldn't really be a problem. It's good how they're pushing you to be unhallowed, because I must admit, I am 9/10 hallowed in DS, as it works in your favour more. Nothing more annoying then being on your way to a boss fight and you get invaded. haha | owen
10.13.13 | What is a hallow flask?
Yeah I never was human, because I didn't summon | Mort.
10.13.13 | loved dark souls. not sure how I feel about the always being able to get invaded. might just play offline | Mongi123
10.13.13 | I remember the first one being a great game to watch someone play but playing it I just had no patience for it. | DrGonzo1937
10.13.13 | Shut your whore mouth, Skele.
They've put a hallow flask in the game now (like the health flask), because I think they're are putting a lot of focus on how being Hallow effects you. | Mongi123
10.13.13 | No I will not lol was hoping to have a good talk about the game but guess not | DrGonzo1937
10.13.13 | Not you mongi, (although, I never actually assumed you were skele) I was talking about Decaying | Mongi123
10.13.13 | Ohhhh haha sorry! That comment was right after mine so I figured :D | Mort.
10.13.13 | "how being Hallow effects you."
yeah I hope they put more emphasis on the whole human/hollow thing. in the first game there was barely any disadvantage to being hollow. you couldn't get invaded, and you could beat most bosses without any help so it didn't matter that you couldn't summon. I think they are trying to make it so you will have an actual reason to go human in this game. | apert
10.13.13 | what are the environemts like? is the art direction still really interesting, one of ,y favourite things about the souls games | owen
10.13.13 | That armour with fur looks comfy as fuck | Jruined
10.13.13 | Exciting. That Hollow dynamic with the health will be a bitch, but eh we'll overcome it. Invasions are fun as hell, I love it when I'm just romping around and someone invades, makes for a lot of fun and tension.
Looking forward to that game. | GhettoHmbrglr
10.13.13 | jelly | DrGonzo1937
10.13.13 | apert, the area we were allowed to explore was an eerie wood type area with caves and ruined small castles. As I said on an earlier comment, the atmosphere is very much like Demon's Souls -which I LOVED. One thing I missed a little on Dark was it didn't have the same sort of claustrophobic horror atmosphere Demon's had. I'd like to hope all the game sticks to that kind of vibe. |
