what's with Zig Forums making up hypothetical situations to get angry at?

Ooooof

I wish I was able to argue with myself
Owen Lee
3 trivially gets last place it literally has a segment of the worst levels ever designed, back to back they could have tried even slightly to care about the game and they didnt
Benjamin Russell
You weren't paying attention. I don't care. Neither should exist at all.

>3 weapon slots in each hand it's amazing how little/subjective the things that you put in your list have to be to make the list any length longer than 3 lines

>user score YIIIIIKKKKEEESSSSSSSSS
Gavin Rodriguez
he's right, 3 has two fucking swamps in a row
Evan Jenkins
yeah don't worry bro i'm sure they're just paid reviews, not the general opinion about the games
Ryan Ward
>two swamps farron keep was one area
John Williams
i know this is a shitpost thread, but i hate dark souls 2 for the sole purpose that hbomberguy likes it. Dark souls 2 can be considered its own game, it plays completely differently
Yah, it's not bad, arguably better than 3. But it doesn't hold a candle to DeS or DS1.
Carson Baker
I like Dark Souls 2 just fine, but it's easily my least favorite Souls game aside from Demon's Souls, which I always bounced off of for some reason I can't put my finger on.
Leo Myers
This, dark souls 2 could've had a healthy online community but no, they had to fuck it up with soul memory
Dominic Nelson
they're different, different enemies and visually distinct as well. Yet both fucking suck, miyazaki has a real hard on for swamps for some god forsaken reason
Aaron Robinson
soul memory becomes irrelevant after a million souls, and even before that the name ring makes it not a big issue stop bitching about things you don't understand.
Brayden Myers
I don't know what version you went through cause I never had trouble with the area and they are also listed under the same area in game
Christian Rodriguez
It’s honestly respectable how consistent his autism is
Jace Fisher
cunt I wanted to play with randoms and can't do it because of soul memory, literally the only area where I get summons or invasions is the forest of fallen giants with a brand new character, other than that online activity is non existant, stop trying to defend it
Jason Carter
Nah dawg, Reddit really does shit on DS2. You wrong on this one.
Grayson Gomez
lmao it doesn't even have the best combat, that would be bloodborne
Joshua Davis
Funny, not sure how far I made it through this game before I dropped it. I didn’t make it too far. I may try it again eventually but I feel like it is overhyped.
Austin Cooper
Rent free
Tyler Cruz
2000 people play daily, I get invasions in most areas and all the DLCs at like 2 million SM. It's not a big issue, but I'll admit it should have just been level based but the system isn't as flawed as people like to say
