Why is Dark Souls II so disgusting and arcady looking movements?

it's the opposite you fucking retard

DS1 has the shitty jerky video game movements, DSII has the actual mo-capped realistic movements. You just haven't left your fucking house and seen an actual person move in so long you got confused.

>>377259637
this, kek

Probably because you're playing it at 60 FPS which makes the animations bug out.


Lock it to 30 and the game looks fine.
Still a shit game compared to DS1 of course

>>377259474
How do you even grow an opinion this wrong? DS1 is the jerky and disgusting movement game, while 2 is the most fluid one in the series.

>>377259890
60FPS has ruined more games for me than it's helped.

>>377259474
I don't know man, I just finished a caestus/demon fist run of DS2 and I had way more fun than I'm having now in DS3; I even have the Demon Fists. I kinda regret going for this playstyle in DS3, but I'm too far into my playthrough to give up now.

>>377259474
>everything looks natural and immersive
When you swing a great weapon in DS1 your character snaps his wrist in 17 different places because of how janky the animations are
When you run up a slope in DaS1 your ankles snap to whatever angle the ground is at

You are a complete retard, DS2 has more "realistic" animations than DS1 will ever have simply because DS2 animations are all motion captured, while DS1 is created by hand.

>>377260007
stop playing shit games then
it's pretty stupid to blame 60fps for the devs being to shit to make it work

>>377260007
In DS2 playing at above 30 FPS actually effects the invincibility frames of dodging, durability loss on weapons, and a bunch of other mechanics.


The worst part is that it also breaks the backstabbing hitbox, switching it back to 30 FPS fixes all of that and makes the backstab about as fluid as it was in the first game.
60 FPS is almost always shit on Japanese games.

It's because gooks don't understand how computers work. If they did they're be using delta like real thinking human beings and not the disgusting yellow goblins they are.

>>377260159
FPS affecting invincibility frames and durability was fixed ages ago. What other mechanics are you talking about?

>>377259474
it uses a different engine than the other souls games

DS2 still has the best hub area.

>>377260159
Are you just like....flat out lying right now?

Why is dualwielding so shit in DS2? I got hyped for the fact they would "fix" it but its still awful. I imagined power stance would have you attacking fast and with lots of reach or something but in the end it plays like if you had a two handed weapon except much worse.

It's not, you fucking retard. I am actually furrowing my brow right now.

>>377260417
No he isn't. From tied a bunch of mechanics to frames. Durability on weapons is calculated based on the amount of frames your weapons soends inside of an enemy during a swing. So doubling the framerate meant your weapons degraded twice as fast. To my understanding this was fixed. There is a similar situation with the dodging in the game as wellx not sure it if was ever fixed. Tieing gameplay mechanics to framerate is a big no no in game development.

>>377260417
When the game came out it was true, there was a .webm of someone losing almost all his durability in one swing by hitting a stack of corpses. I dont know if it got fixed.

>>377260616
>Why is dualwielding so shit in DS2?
In comparison to what other game in the series, exactly? 3 just ruined it up completely and simplified it.

>>377260701
Caestus PVP cheese doesnt count.

>>377260772
It was fixed 2 years ago

Speaking of durability, they might as well not even have it in DaS 3.

There was one video I watched where the guy sat there for one fucking hour letting enemies attack him and his durability was barely even hit.

They changed all of the movements because in DS1 people were abusing the physics during online multiplayer. But luckily even Miyazaki thought that DS2 movement felt like shit and in 3 he changed it back to DS1.

DS2 is mocapped but it looks like whoever they mocapped shit their pants and was wearing a back brace. It has one of the ugliest walking animations I've ever seen in a game

>>377261223
FEAR THE OLD CRABS

>>377261571
I'd like to see you run wearing heavy armour during the mocap and try running, jumping and rolling.

>>377261223
I'm playing the game for the first time now and I'm completely confused about why durability is even in the game as well.
>weapons and armor restore durability when resting at a bonfire
>yet the blacksmith still has the option to repair weapons and armor
Is that only for when a weapon totally breaks or something?

>>377261890

The only time I had a weapon break in my 300 hours in this game was the moonlight greatsword's weapon art and strong R2 attack.

>>377259890
>reducing the frames is a solution now
Wow truly the best series

I can't believe you hard you guys are memeing right now. DS2 has absolutely pathetic animations and you're perfectly aware of that. It's still a decently enjoyable game despite BIG MAN WITH BIG SWORD IN BIG ARMOUR, but the animation and general graphics quality is abysmal. Why the fuck are you pretending otherwise?

Ironic shitposters like you are the reason reddit exists. You're why people genuinely believe Adachi did nothing wrong. You are responsible for "then" and "than" being confused, and "payed" being used instead of "paid". You and advice dog are responsible for everything wrong with the internet today.

>>377265054
Love Demon's Souls for the OP-ass magic. Atmosphere too of course.

Dark Soul 2's movements is fucking weightlessness and funny

>>377259637
Man, you are a fucking chump as are all the redditors posting "fpbp".
>>377259474
It's the constant velocity, just compare something like the rollls, in the first the beginning the middle and the end are at different speeds, in the second it's constant, so entering and beginning the roll is as fast as the middle and ending of the roll, same with running and sprinting.
Same with other movements, they have a constant speed even that makes things look floaty and lacking weight.

>DSII has the actual mo-capped realistic movements.

Yet DaS3 didn't use a single one except for the Drakeblood GS moveset. Everything in that game is either from DaS or a new animation. Really makes you think doesn't it?

>>377268246
ds3 uses the ds1 engine, they literally just ported over all of ds1 and updated shit, thats why all the old weapons and rings are still in the files in ds3

I got into this series late and everything mixed up for me. Played BB and DS3 which were great and pretty good respectively but now I'm starting 2 and it looks incredibly ugly. I'm not sure how it's possible for the game to be this gross looking.
