Should I play Dark Souls 1 before I play 2?

I would be playing it if TPB would glady give me either 1. An english copy or 2. An English copy were the majority of people downloading it AREN'T FUCKING LEECHERS.

Well you can search on the other torrent site...

You should buy it. The game is amazing...I hate people like you.
Pirating games without caring. I too have torrented a lot of games, but after torrenting I buy them.
I feel like you should see pirating kinda like test-driving a car. You drive the car, and you're like:"Woah, this car looks nice! The sound the engine makes! The seats! My god, I want this car! I'm going to buy it!"

To be honest, I don't think 1 person torrenting it vs buying it will make a difference. Hell, the devs still make bank whether people torrent it or not.
