Dark Souls 2- From Software-lectric Boogaloo

     So Dark Souls 2 was announced. Normally, this'd be the most incroyable thing on planet Earth, but the folks who played the last game are worried. The main dude, Miyazaki, is off the team and without his influence, the game might not be the Souls everyone knows. With the talk of an easy mode for the OG Dark Souls, the charm of the game was lost for a lot of folks, and with From Software's mention of "A more accessible experience", it seems like the crushing yet beautiful mix of rage and reward that the series has provided up to this point might vanish. The sequel apparently isn't coming out until 2014 though, so it might very well be on the next generation of consoles, giving chumps like me a loooong time to think the purchase over.

Really though, that's pretty hype.
