Main differences are those? how about MANA, or the fact that the best roll is 50%? Or your character and attack movement is like watching a kung fu movie? It's just fast fast fast fast. The gameplay is overawingly faster than dark, though i think having it slower is better.
Yes? Mana doesn't do much mechanically. I suppose you could say removal of it sped up mage combat because you don't need spice or waiting around, but my comment was in relation to the claim the DeS and DkS were drastically different based on watching videos of what I assume was melee combat (most people use melee).
Also, I said MAIN differences, roll weight and animations which don't do much to effect mechanics aren't that important.
But I'm not trying to argue differences, I'm just saying that DeS & DkS are almost identical in how they play (they are) so claiming the video of DkS2 looks more like one or the other is irrelevant, especially when the guy's only experience with DeS is watching other people play it.
What weapons did you use for DeS and DkS? I can kind of get the "kung fu" since most combos looked better, but it's still just about equally as slow as DkS. You don't (or at least didn't), have to anti-backstab strafe for ten minutes in PvP, and a few weapons (the pole arms) were faster, but the actual combat is about the same.
All I can really think of to explain your speed claim is the fact that monsters in end game DkS are much stronger than end game DeS, meaning they take more hits (and therefore you may take a slower more cautious strategy against them). But that's not a change to combat speed, it's just a change to the difficulty curve.
