Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (PS4/XBone)

I've never played any of the Souls games until Bloodborne. I really, really like BB, I think it's the best game to come out in a long time. Once I got past the difficulty in the mechanics and learning how to play, the gameplay has been super rewarding and after beating a boss it literally jacks me up.

Dark Souls 2 is coming out next week on ps4, it looks fantastic. Would I enjoy it as much as Bloodborne? I heard there is more of a penalty when you die in DS. Is there co-op?

Last note, I heard DS2 was inferior to DS1, so can you guys help me out? It's 60$ for the Scholar of First Sins edition on ps4, yet on ps3 its only 40$, Im guessing they enchanced it.

And the last note:

Digital Foundry has a wonderful performance analysis of the game and, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions both run at a perfect 1080p resolution, the frame rate is much steadier on the PlayStation 4.

"Xbox One pays a persistent price for matching the PS4's visual standard. Both formats target 60fps and engage v-sync at all times, but Microsoft's platform suffers the greater drops between the two in each scene of our frame-rate analysis," the article states.

"The Forest of Fallen Giants area is a good example, where a barrage of enemies causes a read-out of between 40-50fps on Xbox One, while PS4 operates within the 50-60fps range. Even while uncontested beneath the giant, arching trees of Things Betwixt, a regular margin of 10fps exists between the two — PS4 operating at a near perfect 60fps, while Xbox stutters along at 50fps."
