Unlike the original reveal trailer, this now looks like what I can imagine a game you can play looking like.
Dark Souls (and Demon's Souls) greatest strength is its level design.
I have nothing against a random dungeon crawler, but it can never be a Souls game (or vice versa).
I differ.
Souls greatest strength is the combat system. Besides, level design overall takes a hit after Anor Londo. Combat.
New Game+ not changing the positions of enemies around even a little it's its biggest tragedy.
