Which beasts are you talking about splitting?
Edit: And I didn't explore every single tiny corner of the game, although I do try to hit every path in an area before moving on. I simply can't imagine this game taking 60 hours.

Either I am a god or a retard, I don't know.
Coincidentally, my DS2 save file is about 8 hours in on PS4 and because something got messed up when I put it in rest mode it says I've been playing for 85 hours.

If you go back and read the early posts from when the game went live, Noodle was talking shit about how easy the game was early on. Then a bit later after that, he makes a post about how he is two bosses in or some shit. His posts in this thread seem to be bad attempts to humble-brag.
Also, fuck my parry playthrough. It has resolved into "stab shit alot and parry when I'm bored" as parry seems dodgy at best against general mobs. Lots of mobs do moves that are unparryable (unless I suck) mixed with shit that is parryable. The only plus side to the playthrough is when I'm helping someone on Abyss watchers and I parry, then backstab when he looks away to the other guy, then parry when he attacks me, I feel like a god. We can ignore the times I miss the parry and look like a total chump.
I would rank from easy to hard playthroughs as...
1) Strength, started with halberd then glaive then gundyr's halberd
2) Pyromancer, though I ended up farming abunch to get decent stats
3) Sorcerer
4) Exiled greatsword dex (first playthrough)
5) Parry everything but really miss my window or try and parry 2h bullshit and die
Halberd playthrough was surprisingly easy. The extra range, the amount of damage, being able to ignore mobs using shields, just all made it sweet.

Grand Archives, Nameless King and last boss are all that's left for my sorc playthrough. It's now utter faceroll to progress through areas, but I think bosses are significantly harder as a sorceror still because they're so aggressive in this game. Got got the last scroll from the sage in Archives, but still haven't gotten a candlestick to drop and I evidently fucked Greirat's quest up, so I have some farming to do.

Didn't mean to humble brag or troll. Merely saying it took X amount of time and to me that is a lot shorter than ds2s base game was. These are my favorite games of all time man.
The beginning of the game I went really slow, probably on pace for a 60 hour run but then I breezed through the latter 50% of the game.

Remember that one that you fight on a bridge after getting to Boreal Valley... There's a room with two of those in it.

The ones that drop the Ring of Favor. They're down a ladder behind a secret door which is very easy to miss, it's in the building just past the field of giants between Pontiff and Anor Londo.

That fight is fucking horrid.
Can pull one to the ladder though while climbing it to the first arch on the wall, then drop from that height and stun him with a head hit. Climb the ladder again while its stunned and repeat. Before I figured out I could do that, I had died to them fuckloads of times.

Sunbroing it up near end of game and raging hardcore every time I'm summoned because the host always summonstwophantoms, which makes fights take fucking forever.

Yeah I know, I just wanted to beat them without cheesing it. It probably wouldn't have taken quite so many tries if I'd realized they were susceptible to getting smacked on the nose to set up a visceral. Once I did that it was just stun, visceral, hit a couple times while it's down to proc a bleed, dead.

I'm gonna fight them tonight, I actually forgot that they were there. I think I was low on Estus and thought "what do we say to death? not today." but instead of fighting I just ran.
