My Opinion

I don’t know if I’ll get this version of the game because of Bloodborne. Bloodborne will be released a few weeks before this; I’ll be too busy trying to beat that to step back into Dark Souls II. I don’t mind this happening, but releasing a few weeks after Bloodborne seems to be a bad idea.
