I'm happy for the people who really like this game, but they make me feel like an insane person for hating it xd
It's not an absolutely horrible, unplayable game by any means. It does some stuff right and I did enjoy it myself somewhat - I finished it after all.

But it just does so much wrong that I can't recommend anyone to play it after Dark Souls 1. If you are new to Soulsborne I suggest you actually play this game, but after you're done with the other games.
