Can we seriously stop pretending that this was ever a good game?

What's wrong DS3 babby? Scared that people aren't listening to your "DS2 is shit lmao" memes anymore?

We're rising up to you. Fear us.

Haha holy shit, that boss was one of the easiest to kill over and over with bonfire ascetics.

Is /v/ the most babby video game board on the internet?

If you're not gonna level up AGI use a fucking shield.
It's a game mechanic. A good game mechanic.

>>375858774
Don't have to pretend.

You may not personally like it, but it's far from a bad game. Easily a 9/10 RPG.

Bloodborne = DS2 > DS3 > DeS > DS

If you didn't buy a chinese version of Demon's Soul's the WEEK it came out don't even TRY to argue my opinion (which is actually fact and not an opinion)

Tired of this shit ok ?

People who think Dark Souls II sucks are the kind of people who sprint through a level to get to the boss and then wonder why the game meant nothing

They're also the same people who expect consistency from a world explicitly explained as in a separate realm from the "outside world" as if it doesn't have its own fucked up space and time

>>375859661
Don't use a shield; learn to roll

>>375858974
>using a shield

I've played all soul games as they came out, starting with demon souls

I completely hated dark souls and I could never even finish it. The change from huge levels where the path to go was clear (you know where to go) to the maze design of 1 was, for me, pure bullshit that I didn't enjoy, but I can see why people would love that, and I was very glad that DS3 brought back the idea of "huge levels with dozens of paths and things to explore" and felt like a demon souls 2
Dark souls two felt bad, it was grossly unbalanced to favor in the pvp department and in the pve it was terrible with repetitive enemies, uninteresting bosses and areas that were literally corridors. I have no fucking diea why people call dark souls 3 linear when dark souls 2 has the most linearity of the whole franchise

Now, I think the DLCs were great, but I was so uninterested with the game by that point that I just wanted to get over it as quickly as possible. Dark souls 2 is a normal-to-good game, but it is nowhere near the level of the rest of the franchise and mostly it is praised solely by contrarians

>>375859858
then level up AGI you homo

It's a lot better in retrospect. We didn't appreciate it until 3 came out and we saw how bad things could get.

you literally cannot fully enjoy a souls game if you use a shield. plus it's easier to just not get hit by rolling

Is this the max damage you can do on 1 hit?
2x +5 dark pursuer's ultra greatswords (273 base phys + 110 str + 30 dex + 273 dark + 110 dark bonus)
Ring of blades +2: +50
Sacred oath: +50
RTSR: x1.2
Brightbug: x2
Dragon torso stone +3: x1.3
Resonant weapon(right-hand wep only) x1.35
Channeler's trident: x1.25
Counter-hit: x1.4
total damage: 5958, which I think is more than great resonant soul with a sunset staff

>>375858774

First mistake is being behind the Ancient Dragon. He is easy to exploit.

DkS2 is only defended by people who want to be contrarian.

>>375860863
Oh, wait, with dark clutch ring its 6490 damage
>tfw no power within in DaS 2

>>375860134
Doesn't change the fact that the game itself, is linear.

The levels are just funneled together and you have little choice in which order you complete them.

>a fuckton of places to explore

Like what? Can't you usually see all the place you're going to reach later on from the beginning of the level? Don't you go down the same pathways basically every time to grab items? Sorry, I'm just asking if you noticed what I didn't.

>le epic "bloodborne isnt a steaming pile of shit" meme

A game designed with enemies that stop spawning after a certain number of deaths unless you belong to a covenant, it's obviously a game wth poor level design and enemy placement.

>>375861378
Not an argument.

>>375861253
Or, yunno... it's a game designed to stop enemies from spawning if you kill them too many times...

Not saying it's a good design decision but those things you mentioned aren't mutually exclusive.

>>375858774

How does the former justify the latter? It's a great way to stop people from grinding and making them accept the burden of doing way less damage and taking way more if they want to grind and keep getting souls

>>375861253

If they wanted to prevent grinding, why they made an infinity bonfire ascetic loop in giant's memories?
Grinding and over levelling are still there, they are secluded to a retarded unfunny rather than the whole game.

There are times where you might need a shield and times when you might need to roll. Just study the area and proceed with caution.

Fume Knight and head of Vengarl are the only decent contents present in Dark Souls 2. All the rest could as well not exist.

hurr i'm a nintentard and all i can think about is nintendo

Funny how out of all the completely true, valid criticisms of Dark Souls 2, the one that got BTFO the most when DaS3 came out was that it was 'lazy'.

Unfinished yes, ill-conceived, yes, poorly marketed, yes. Lazy? They actually showed everyone in DaS3 what it looked like when they get everything else right, but get careless with the exploration and chest placement, and how freaking major it is when that doesn't have enough attention or thought put into it. It's asinine how much it negatively impacts the game. Some builds you literally can't finish unless you beat the game entirely and that's a horrible prospect.

DaS1

Now why the fuck does DeS feel faster than DaS1?? Like it's bullshit, It's a great game and I would most certainly buy every single future iteration, but it's still bullshit.
