@Kyoshi - It really is a great game =) I will admit, some enemies are harder than others (literally some can be a pain) but once you get used to the skills needed and such, its a great experience =D I have around 200+ hours on the original DS and about 50 on DS2 (I got a lot of new games so didnt put tons of time into it, and then I got an Xbox One XD so even less time)

Yeah, DS 2 released at a pretty rough time, so many games released around that time. I definitely will be picking it up since it is on sale right now. If I somehow just don't like the game, I won't be losing much anyways luckily. I think I may really like the game after a while though, you seem to really like it. One thing is the health system, you lose chunks after dying.

That does sound incredibly brutal and I guess you have to get a certain item that is rare early on to restore your health fully, that is one part that does worry me a little.
