Yeah, you're not going to complete Dark Souls 2 in a day (challenge accepted?). But that's not just what I mean here. There is so, so much to learn in a Souls game. Even after you complete it for the first time, you will have barely scratched the surface. There will be many intricacies to combat beyond the basic mechanics which will require much time and practise to fully learn. Stats management requires a great deal of experimentation in order to achieve a build which is perfect for you. Secrets will be everywhere, and there is no way that you will discover all of them on your first play through. Hell, some things of Dark Souls 1 remained undiscovered until over a year after its release. In the case of many games, you will play through it once, and then scarcely think about it again. Dark Souls is different. It keeps you coming back for more and more because it is nigh impossible to master. There are always ways to improve, always things to learn, always challenges to overcome. So roll on Dark Souls 2. I hope you're excited as I am, and I hope you're prepared for one of the greatest, most fun challenges in your gaming career.
