NG+ makes first playthrough look weak. I'm stuck on Ornstein and Smough and I steamrolled them first playthrough solo...I can't even beat them with summons now ;_;
I've gotten roughly 3/4 of the weapons in the game now at 120 hours in, and I gotta say, the weapon variety is much better than Demons Souls had. Almost all of the unique weapons have a unique heavy attack, a lot of the ARMORS have unique effects (including one that makes rolling at people do damage
), and even shields have special effects (one has a ranged attack, another has a superbody+500def 30 second activation). The unique weapons sometimes even have a second variant of heavy attack exclusive to 2 handing, and although the attacks use a ton of weapon dura, they also do incredibly stupid high damage. With +0 Dragon Great Axe's 2H R2 I smashed some poor guy 20 feet away for 90% of his life, straight off a cliff. +5 I'm sure I could break double that amount.
Hopefully they patch some weapons though, at the moment stat scaling weapons are totally outclassed until level 300+ by lightning enchanted weapons. Also, playing with a Japanese host is about like playing a slideshow...sure is fun getting backstabbed with a SPELL (yes, that's impossible, but hey, lag does crazy things) from 10 screens away.
