In Defense of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin

Hello there!

This is a video that is meant to show what I believe is the best defence you can muster for Dark Souls 2 and after that, I present the final arguments for the game being highly flawed in order to have the balance that is needed for a defence.

The video that is arguably being responded to in this video is called "In Defense of Dark Souls" from Hbomberguy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRTfcMeqhig
