I will respectfully disagree with you. Even though I haven't finished the game, I'm actually finding myself much more addicted to it than Dark Souls 1. That could possibly be because I got into Dark Souls 1 very late in its life cycle, but I do have valid reasons. For me, something about the combat just feels more fluid and seamless, and the weapons feel more satisfying, not to mentions weapons like axes, maces, and even whips are much more useful now. None of the bosses I've fought so far have given me significant difficulties, but they do have some good ideas. I especially enjoyed the Skeleton Lord fight even though it was pretty easy. And the fact that this game has dedicated servers has made the multiplayer experience so much better just for the simple fact that it isn't laggy as hell (I don't do much PvP but I have done a lot of co-op in the Heirs of the Sun covenant).

You could refute each of these points I've made. At the end of the day, though, all I can really say is I like the game.
