Dark Souls II Patch 1.06 to Buff and Nerf Several Gameplay Aspects (Patch Notes)

Junkie Monkeys: Dark Souls II hasn’t been the best in the Souls series when it comes to PvP in the game, but it will be getting better in this newest patch (hopefully). With that said, developers at From Software have gone ahead and released patch notes for Dark Souls II’s patch 1.06. We have the translated patch notes and listed notes on why these changes are excellent.

The 'Nerfifacation' of overpowered effects is only a good thing in regards to PvP.

Part of the love for the soul series is the discovery of the perfect combination of weapons and equipment resulting in the most bad a$$ build for your playing style.

Waiting see how this feels. Regardless, I love our Demon's and Dark Souls community.
Project Beast is right around the corner.

agreed, i just hope that they can find a good balance. i have faith in From Software.

Ds2 has the best pvp of any Souls game, what are you talking about?! In every other way it pales though.

WillGuitarGuy4383d ago (Edited 4383d ago )

Demons Souls and Dark Souls had far better PvP because of their speed and balance. Dark Souls 2 PvP while fun, lacks the speed and balance that made the other titles excellent. There are several other Souls veterans who will tell you the same thing.

Damnit! Every nerf they make for the PvP mp fanbase screws over the PvE single player. This is what happens when you try to blend the two into one. Hope they separate the two in the new beasts game as there are a lot of souls fans who aren't interested in the damn MP aspects.

If they want a balanced PvP they are going to have to have standard classes that's ONLY available for PvP. Guess no more co-oping for me, it was a good run.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister384d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood384d ago (Edited 384d ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg384d ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man383d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Man, I dunno about that. In fact, most boss fights in Dark Souls 2 were forgettable.

Dark souls 2 is really underrated.

My First DS's no idea why it gets so much hate
