What followed was a Scholar of The First Sin Edition of Dark Souls 2, which is the game you can play on last-gen systems right now that many players seem to dislike. Just to clear out the confusion, Scholar of The First Sin was initially a patch to DS2 released on 15th Feb 2015 and introduced many welcome and requested changes to the game. Recently I saw a used copy of 'vanilla' DS2 for PS3 on a stand and thought it's a good idea to see for myself. I don't have a favorite DS game 'cause everyone is special in its own unique way to me.Īmong many voices of criticism, I have seen many speak about SOTFS Edition is even worse about everything that is bad about the original.

I've read countless threads, saw all those hours-long video essays and I've fully experienced all the glaring flaws and annoyances of this game, from bad hitboxes and broken tracking to semi-broken lock-on to cheap deaths to ambushes. Found all the secrets, picked all the shinies, got all the trophies. Around 300 hrs total till the end of NG++. A little over 2 years ago I played a lot of SOTFS.
