@Vann People still absolutely loathe Dark Souls 2, by virtue of it being different from Dark Souls 1, having a few key design flaws, and the manipulative marketing for the game that made the graphics look far better than they actually were.

Dark Souls 2's re-release is perfectly fine, though. Most (if not all) of it's problems were fixed, to the point where it's my second favorite Souls game.
