That's more than fair. It's rare to see most discriminate/categorize games based on director, it seems to always be the publisher.

I guess it shows how young video games still are, this doesn't happen as often in film where viewers can distinguish between the director and the production company (think Exorcist 1 and 2 as a random example, one is Friedkin greatness, one is whatever)

Different ideas permeated the design of these games and it's strange top tie them together just because of a number relation. We should be able to distinguish marketing intent from artistic intent.

That being said, ds2 blows. The animations don't feel right. The lightning storm castle stage was excellent though. It reminds me more of a 3d castlevania style game than dark souls if anything
