Dark Souls II isn't that bad

Is Dark Souls II really that bad? I don't think so. I think people exaggerate many of its faults and overlook a lot of what it did right. Don't get me wrong, it's not a perfect game either, and it does have a lot of flaws - but then, so does every other Souls game. Feels like a lot of the hate comes simply from the game being different. Another thing that only occurred to long after I uploaded this: The NPCs in Dark Souls II are a lot more interesting than the NPCs in Dark Souls III, which relies too heavily on characters we've already seen (Andre, Patches, Siegmeyer, etc) Nobody in Dark Souls III comes close to Aldia and Vendrick. Most can't even come close to Navlaan. Also I should point out this has nothing to do with the "Return to Drangleic" thing that happened recently - complete coincidence. I made this video back in late January. Good timing though, I suppose. ►Follow on Twitter for notifications on new vids: http://bit.ly/silvermonttwitter ►Silver Mont Patreon page: http://bit.ly/MontPatreon ►Paypal Donations http://bit.ly/MontPaypal ►Channel Artist's Web-store http://rdbl.co/1WUutgl ►The official Silver Mont Steam Group: http://bit.ly/silvermontsteam
