You guys were right and I didn't listen... Dark Souls 2 sucks.

I read a dozen posts reccommending people to skip DS2 because it sucked. I didn't listen, I thought: '' Well, maybe if I take it REAL slow, I can get through it with no frustration, after all, DS1 was great and not frustrating''. Boy was I wrong.

First of all, since I'm on PC, I have to wait like 30 seconds for the game to log in and log out, because FromSoft haven't actually fixed multiplayer yet and force you to attempt a log in anyways. So just add 30 unnecesary seconds of loading everytime you boot the game. Then, as soon as I got to Heide, I start getting hit with infinite loading screens and bad loads. First it's one every 5 loads, then 1 every 2. So not only do I have to log in and out for no reason, but I also have to do this constantly because of the crashes. And if that wasn't enough, I meet the epitome of bullshittery that is the Heide Knights. Not a single enemy in DS1 is as badly animated and poorly done as this shit. It's not hard, it's just frustratingly stupid. It attacks in 180 degrees, and is the only enemy I fought so far in any souls game that you can backstab IT'S FRONT, while it's attacking you. It's so poorly animated that it attacks you, infront of you, but he's actually still exposing his back, even though the animation doesn't show that.

I can't believe the people that made DS1 had a hand in this game, it's technically terrible. And this is just the first few hours of the game! I didn't have any technical issues with DSR and I took my damn time with that game.

I should have listened to the popular opinion and skipped this game. It was a waste of my time. Thanks for everyone that tried to warn me, even though I didn't listen.
