Also, the time you stay in the others world seems extended. It seems like the normal summon range is 25% of ones 'soul memory', but with the ring its about 50%. I've actually had a LOT of success playing co-op with a friend using the Name-Engraved Ring. After having multiplayer working as intended there's no way I could go back to dks1's exercise in frustration!
However, when multiplayer is important there's no doubt that Dks2 is not just the superior game, but makes dks1 pretty much obsolete. I'd agree that some of the areas in dks1 have been some of the best in the series, but also some of the later areas have been some of the worst! Dks2 might not peak quite as high, but it also doesn't trough quite as low. I wanted to play lots of PVP at endgame but before long I'd usually quit out in frustration because of the awful peer2peer system. I'd find myself stuck in an area because people were trying to invade but couldn't connect.
It's very unique! In dks1 the summoning hardly ever worked, the invasions hardly ever worked. Click to expand.I prefer multiplayer games in general so I've always been very interested in the multiplayer side of the Souls games.
