Dark Souls 2

What the fuck is wrong with this game? Why does everything feel like it's covered in oil? Why won't some enemies react to getting hit? Why do animations take so fucking long? I've finished all the other Soulsborne games, including Sekiro, but I just can't get into this shit.

DaS2 should have been completely rebranded to something like "Zombie Souls" or "lol souls" or something that differentiates it from the rest of the series. It only serves to bait newcomers into thinking it's the game they should play after the first one and it puts them off the series as a result

Go try playing a knockoff Souls like Nioh or Code Vein. Dark Souls 2 will seem incredible after that.

I thought it was OK, if a little frustrating. The DLC areas were fun.

But I played them in this order:

BB -> DS2 -> Sekiro -> DS1 -> DS3

It’s an abomination of a game

I'm only coming back to this for the sake of completing the series and everything just feels off. Fuck the Adaptability stat.

yeah, the game is trash
i got it for below 10 bucks and I still feel cheated

>Why won't some enemies react to getting hit?
need more poise brah

It's not even that, there's just no sense of weight. Attacking feels like trying to slice a wall with a pool noodle.

use the stone ring

>What the fuck is wrong with this game?
You are expecting it to play like Souls 1 or 3.

Why does everything feel like it's covered in oil?
it b slick

Why won't some enemies react to getting hit?
They have big boi poise, you can literally flatten them at will using a great hammer or the like.

Why do animations take so fucking long?
To prevent item and buff spam during combat.

ANOTHER DARK SOULS 2 AUTIST THREAD

I’m playing it right now and it’s been pretty enjoyable. I’ve played DS3, DS2 and bloodbourne. DS is my least favorite of the three but it’s still fun and I’d rather be playing it than replaying one of the others.

I will say the difficulty at the start of the game was way too high and by the middle it’s way too low. The game has basically gotten easier and easier as I play. Seems like it should be the opposite

>Why does everything feel like it's covered in oil
I don’t get this. DS2 was the most smooth game out of the three. DS3 was too spammy and DS1 was too clunky

yo where is sir allonne
i swear ive searched the entirety of brume tower and only ever found the iron passage as a side location

They had a director who made the game too different from Dark Souls 1 and they had to change around just about everything and cut the rest to make it feel more like a souls game than something completely different

DS3 felt like a shittier Bloodborne, but the same strats kinda work.

Top kek

Dark Souls was a mistake. Only DeS, Bloodborne and Sekiro are actually worth playing.

DaS2 Scholar has:

Best dialogues
Best ambience
Best locations
Best story
Best lightning, being dynamic
Best builds
Best weapons
Best PVP
Best longevity
Best difficulty
Best ending
Best menus
Best online
Best filters for baddies
Best RPG mechanics
Best resource management and strategy

Not need to reply, this is factual, real and undeniable. Makes shitters shit and seethers seethe everyday

Man I hate missing stuff in these games. I always try to explore every area autistically to make sure I don't miss anything, but there's always something I don't find. I noticed I never found an NPC in Bloodborne and now I'm resisting the urge to look it up

Now this is the kinda bait that will earn you a (you) from me. 8/10 with room for improvement but you clearly put effort into it

No he didn't
But (you) did

Yes, thats a huge problem.
Lords of the fallen has this same problema but 100 times worse. It makes the game unplayable

>It's another "3tard fails are trying to defame the best Souls game" thread
Nice, love these ones.

Try a watered-down game like Ds3 if 2 is too challenging for you.

Just go as a Hexer. Best way to play is most boring way to play in this game since playing as melee characters are going to suck anyways lol. Also it's shit. Don't believe DS2fags.

im just punching everything

Giant Souls

The Giants' memories are my favorite part of the game

i just realized that by skipping 3 of the 4 great souls in my rush to get the weapon i wanted i broke the sequence of events that leads you to talk to aldia
so i dont think im gonna face him as a boss
whoops

I’m assuming that you’re comparing it to the two other entries in the trilogy, otherwise Bloodborne and DeS has it beat in some areas
I wouldn’t call it bait, it’s spot on. 3trannies are the actual baiters

First time I played and fucked up and accidentally released Navlaan
I didn't want to bother with his dumb invasions so I just killed them then
Not gonna make that mistake again
