Yeah, honestly? I'd be a bit more angry if they had a different name and it still took place in the same area as Dark Souls. I mean, that's kind of what they set up with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls being spiritual successors. Dark Souls II is a direct sequel of Dark Souls, I honestly don't see the issue with the title, other than it being slightly uncreative.
EDIT: As for the rest of that, well, I can't really make a good judgement because I haven't played Dark Souls yet, but, if that whole dumbing down thing is true, that's kinda disappointing, but I'm afraid to make any calls on the game's quality from speculation like that...and I'm also unable to read the clip Jason posted so... welp. Actually, think you could post it here, Marth?
