ITT: things DS2 did objectively better than DS1. I'll start:
>better rolling movement
Guts sword is gud
DS2 didn't do movement right at all. It all felt weirdly floaty, clunky, dunno how to put it into words.
It did do right quite a few other things though.
For example it gets a lot of shit for ADP, or more precisely AGI, which influences the invulnerability duration on your rolls.
Dark Souls isn't just an action game, it has various character attributes governing over what they can or can't do.
To block effectively you need to: first find a suitable shield with good damage reduction, have enough strength to hold it, have enough endurance to not being slowed down, have enough stamina to not have your guard broken, spend souls and titanite to upgrade the shield's stability.
To become fully invincible to any and all damage during a dodge you need to: press the roll button.
Anyway, DS2 did good in some other aspects too. Like environmental interaction. For example being drenched in water increased your fire resistance, but decreased resistance lightning. The powder kegs could have been blown up with fire damage, but rolling through them just broke them.
It let you actually do a pure spellcaster playthrough with consumables that restore spell uses. It had many different consumables in general, which is always good.
Also, it offered a huge variety of weapons to choose from, even if they weren't drastically different. For example if you were a dexfag, but really liked a greatsword weapon type moveset, you could find one that scales well with dex, instead of settling for the typical dex weapons.

You have more directions you can roll in 2 than in one.
Even if it feels floaty, the added movement options with rolling are an objective improvenent.
And you fags want them to stop
>GOTY edition
>the fire fades edition
Which is it faggot
>>379153046

dumb runescape rip off

I've never played anything Ultima before, but it reminds me of Divine Divinity, so I'm predisposed to having a good opinion of it, even though I've never played it

Kill yourself.
Disclaimer: I know this comes a little late but I wanted to get the word of caution out there that they are probably doing this for new titles too.
So I was watching a video about Blur Studio's Cross3D Tool that they won an award for in 2016. Suddenly I notice a video (rendered preview?) playing on one of the employees monitor while he was working on something (https://youtu.be/H8Rm1f2xLKI?t=1m43s). I immediately recognized this from one of the first original gameplay showcases of The Division (maybe someone can find the exact clip?). Whats making me really suspicious is the fact that you can see it loop, indicating that he is previewing the shot. So for people who don't know, blur is an studio that creates amazing looking animations for many games including some Ubisoft titles. After checking the official website, the only promotional material they created for the game was the animated trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W35NNHJ0zB4). So my point is, why would an employee of an animation studio have roughly 2 second clip of actual gameplay playing on his monitor two years after its release (and make it look like he is working on it?). Either he really enjoyed the game or they pulled it up from some old internal work files.
Video game publishers use bullshots to advertise their games? NO WAY!
>>379152861
Have you heard of BULLSHOTS.
its been happening for a decade at least.
Holy shit anon I think this could shake the industry to it's core. Somebody get Netflix on the phone, I smell another Emmy winning documentary. Let's split this wide open and bring the corrupt system to it's knees.
Name a reviewer more jaded and disagreeable than Angry Joe

>That's how we save Nintendo.
>>379152796
That ass could save lives.
At least she is a lightning rod for all the waifu trash so that the best girlMin Minremains pure.
Why doesn't Nintendo implement any achievement system?
Is it because their userbase consists of literal children and manchilds?
>>379152714
Playing vidya isn't an achievement
Because nobody but insecure people and Sony fans cares if you do something in a video game.
I just want something that tracks my completion % and maybe gives me a new system theme for getting 100%

How can dark souls 3 even compete?
>a meme urememberthat pvp game made to milk the franchise having trouble being compared to a fresh inspired masterpiece
gee, more news at 11
>the blade is bandaged
That's some shounen anime tier design.
>shit competing with shit
I think metroid would win because he has missiles and ice and halo is slow
Book Master Chief or game Master chief?
Master Chief, easily. He's bigger, faster and stronger than any man or woman other than other spartan 2's.
Doomguy, because i say so.

>get it
>find rolling dice to move on a board to be boring
Is Death Stranding a horror game or a Stealth game?
Joosten ruined MGSV. There was way too much focus on her, i'd rather they just used more time to develop the Venom Snake character and the struggles with his identity
Is it even a game?
Kojima said it's not horror, there will be weapons
This ishonestly amazing.
Isn't this becoming a bit much?
I wanna **** tanned cirno
