I am only 2-3 hours in but hell no IMO.
Everything is exactly what I would expect a DS game to be. Also the framerate has been very steady for me and from what reviews have said it stays steady at 30 the whole game with no issues.
Maybe if you have a specific question in which you determine if it might be rushed I can try and address that.
Actually there are a couple quirks. My health bar dissapeared for about 1 minute until I used an Estus. That only happened once.
Also, I'm not sure if they are supposed to have a weapon/armor comparison when shopping...but the only way I can tell if the weapon in the shop is better than my current weapon/armor is by memorizing the numbers of the sword I currently have. I am hoping someone knows something I don't.

Nope. Feels like they took their time thinking about how many ways they could piss you off even more this time around.
I've screwed around for about an hour or so just getting a feel for the controls. Mostly the same, but one or two differences and timing feels a little different than Dark Souls.
Not gonna lie....the whole thing about losing a little max health with each death till you get to half health bar....I hate that sooooo much. It's essentially like getting cursed every time you die. Did you ever get cursed in DS? It sucked. It really sucked. This is like that, only it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU DIE

Warning: SPOILERS
For real bruh...ya gotta stop. We may need to start a seperate thread for spoilers at this point. Some of us haven't gotten to play more than an hour, or at all
Posted on 3/12/14 at 9:20 am to SaintLSUnAtl
That might be for the best. Sorry, man.

NP. Fortunatley I haven't read any yet, but I can't stay out of this thread and I know I'm gonna slip up sooner or later
Hopefully I get in 2-3 hours tonight and some more this weekend and make a little progress. I'm gonna end up getting fired b/c I'm late two days in a row now b/c of this game

I'm having a similar problem. It's a slow day at work, and I'm itching to get back home and play. Meanwhile there is this thread and the DarkSouls2 subreddit tempting me. I think it's time for me to get off of the internet!
Posted on 3/12/14 at 9:28 am to Meursault
Actually..thank you for that spoiler.

I was hoping with some of the changes such as the health bar it would curb my enthusiasm during the first playthru. No dice. In my limited time I've found this one to be just as addictive as its predecessor.
Posted on 3/12/14 at 9:39 am to SaintLSUnAtl
so what is stopping me from just burning through my effigies?

Yep. And I have to go on a fricking camping trip this weekend with the wife and some friends. My mind will be on one thing the entire time.

Whether or not you brought enough fuel to power the generator your 360/PS3 and monitor are running on for the entire weekend?

Ouch. Sorry bro. That really sucks
Really glad I got into this series.

Well I have used 3 .
I got really frustrated because I didn't know weapons were repaired if they were not broken every time you rest at the bonfire. So I was stuck with half health and some shitty dagger that took 6-7 hits to kill anything. With that said, I burned one at the bonfire on accident thinking that it would give me my health back, (instead of "using" it) and 2 because I couldn't kill anyone and died often.
Maybe I need to slow down.

I agree about the spoilers. I wanna read everyones impressions about the game so far but would like to not have anything ruined. Please try to give a spoiler warning before posting anything. I know most of you have already so thanks.
I'm only about an hour or so in and only got to the hub area it appears. Quick question, when creating your character after selecting class and gift I couldn't figure out how to move over to select the body type and all of that (I know I'm an idiot). DId I miss anything important here or was it just the usual character attributes?

Sorry for no spoiler warnings, I know almost everything is a spoiler based on the lack on info this game give you.
I had this problem too. If you hit the back button after you select your character and gift it will allow you to select the other 3 columns. It basically lets you change how you look. I almost hit finalize because I thought that is how you get to the next options.

Yep, that makes sense. Guess I was too excited to think it out. I hit finalize thinking I would get to those.
