Hardcore fans who are reading this may be worried about Dark Souls 2 being "more straightforward," but you needn't be too concerned. It's a gentler introduction that still doesn't compromise the terrifying beast of a game you're about to get into. Drangleic has plenty of secretsįrom there, instead of being immediately thrown into an overwhelmingly gigantic world, you're only given two real paths forward, each extending from a hub town whose population will grow as you progress. The traditional half-hearted tutorial ending in a boss that's meant to kill you immediately has been replaced with a simpler, more effective and completely optional zone for learning the ropes. But the heart of the game is clearer and easier to grasp. For all that it did right, the first Dark Souls was full of unnecessary obfuscation - core gameplay concepts like "humanity" that the game never fully explained, or points where the single path forward was obscured and easy to miss.ĭark Souls 2 still contains plenty of secrets people will still be picking apart its systems and level layouts and discovering new things for a long time to come. From Software has cut down on the small annoyances that often tripped up new players in previous releases.
It helps, as well, that progression in Dark Souls 2 is almost always determined by skill.
In Dark Souls 2, figuring out how to progress is the reward. These messages went away after reinstalling the driver.In a different game, I might be frustrated dying at the same part over and over again, because I want to see the next cutscene or get the next upgrade. The controller still worked, but the message was a nuisance. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers did not help, so hopefully this is just a temporary issue that Microsoft and game developers can resolve through updates.Īlso, the first time I installed the driver, Windows 7 showed a “Runtime Error” after plugging in the controller, followed by an “XboxStat.exe has stopped working” error. The controller did recognize several other games, including Dishonored, Super Meat Boy and Trials Evolution. The biggest problem is that several of the games I tested would not recognize the controller, including Dark Souls II, Transistor and Eldritch. Games that support Microsoft’s Xbox 360 controller should automatically recognize the Xbox One controller without any additional setup (with some exceptions described below). The System Tray popup will let you know that your Xbox One controller is ready to use.Īt this point, you should be ready to play.
