Goddamn Gamecube

Notoriously outsourced to the FromSoft “b-team”, Dark Souls II proves a contentious entry in the franchise with some hailing it as a series highlight and others bemoaning its many shortcomings. In this episode we try to reconcile the game’s frustrating lapses in attention to detail with the many quality of life improvements made to customization and PVP. Don’t give up, skeleton!]

At the risk of saying again what’s been said a million times, Dark Souls has become a genre-defining exercise in player engagement, atmospheric storytelling, and overall game design. Flawed masterpiece though it is, we hash out what made (and still makes) Dark Souls so special, cohesive, and unforgettable. If only we could be so grossly incandescent.
