I don't care about what they say, this one is my favourite, it has its charm and I don't get some people saying it's the hardest one, I think it's easier than the first game, Majula is stunning as well, I had fun playing it.

i don't think you can buy this game without the scholar of the first sin expansion which so far isn't able to be turned off again. i would love to be able to play the base game, as it is extremely different.
This is the very first official Dark souls game I've ever played, and I hated it :D. No matter how much I tried, I managed to beat the second boss of the game, the Pursuer. I was pretty much bashing my head against the wall screaming profanities' and pained screamed at my cousins house while they Lmao'ing at said pain. I remember the release and joy I managed to slay the very boss that was gate keeping me from the rest of the game... Only the it to introduced me to multiple bosses in a single room in the Lost Bastille. I gave up for a total of 4 years before I had a friend that taught me the ropes in the SOTFS version of the game, and I managed to succeed overcoming such a bum penetrating train track of a game. Although I played the updated version of the game. It would be a new experience for me to try out the OG DS2 and say I officially purchased a DRM free of the game.

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.

Gems can be attached and detached from armor and weapons that have special gem slots. Along with the various species of monster returning from the first Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter 2 contains many new monsters, such as the metallic wind dragon Kushala Daora, the lion-headed dragon Teo Teskatoru (named Teostra in the North American and PAL versions of Monster Hunter Freedom 2) and his female counterpart Nana Teskatory (named Lunastra in the North American and PAL versions of MHF2), the primates Babakonga and Dodobrango (Congalala and Blangonga in MHF2), the bull or minotaur-like monster Rajang, and the chameleon-like dragon Oonazuchi (Chameleos in MHF2). With new monsters also comes the prospect of new weapons and armor.
