I think people exaggerate many of its faults and overlook a lot of what it did right. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s not a perfect game either, and it does have a lot of flaws &#8211; but then, so does every other Souls game.<\/p>\n<p>Feels like a lot of the hate comes simply from the game being different.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;ve already seen (Andre, Patches, Siegmeyer, etc) Nobody in Dark Souls III comes close to Aldia and Vendrick. Most can&#8217;t even come close to Navlaan.<\/p>\n<p>Also I should point out this has nothing to do with the &#8220;Return to Drangleic&#8221; thing that happened recently &#8211; complete coincidence. I made this video back in late January. Good timing though, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>\u25baFollow on Twitter for notifications on new vids:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/bit.ly\/silvermonttwitter<br \/>\n\u25baSilver Mont Patreon page:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/bit.ly\/MontPatreon<br \/>\n\u25baPaypal Donations<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/bit.ly\/MontPaypal<br \/>\n\u25baChannel Artist&#8217;s Web-store<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/rdbl.co\/1WUutgl<br \/>\n\u25baThe official Silver Mont Steam Group:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/bit.ly\/silvermontsteam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Dark Souls II really that bad?
