If you're one of the intrepid souls who waited a few weeks to play Dark Souls 2 on PC, it appears you made the right call. As Joystiq's Xav de Matos discovered, the PC version of From Software's bruiser of a sequel is the best, markedly prettier than its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 counterparts resulting in a more lush world. At least, as lush as a dying world overrun by monsters and wandering specters can be.

Joystiq Streams sets out into Dark Souls 2 PC for a special stream at 4PM EST today on the Joystiq Twitch channel. See for yourself what Dark Souls 2's major improvements are on a strong gaming PC. Additionally, find out how many different terrifying ways Xav de Matos can be offed by monsters. Anthony John Agnello will be hanging out in the chat, feeding your questions to Xav as we play.
