Was he right? I thought he made good points about the healing

I've personally never gotten the hate and have always enjoyed dark souls 2.

>>377420831
He spent way too much of that video being a condescending cunt and being literally wrong for me to even remember the handful of decent points he raised. I didn't care for DS2 but I can't help but feel like it deserves a better defense than /that/ shit video.

>>377420831
I loved DS2, but that video was shit.

>>377420831
Completely wrong. And he contradicts himself because he thinks bloodbornes healing system is the best for being fast and criticizes dark souls healing being fast.
>remember these bad things well they're actually good things lmao

Would have been better if he didn't try to be a snide contrarian about literally every single thing

>remember these bad things well they're actually good things lmao
That about sums it up

>>377420831
I didn't watch the whole video, but his points healing were irrelevant to me. I didn't like that the gauge filled up slowly, but gave no fucks about life gems.

His defense for ganks was fucking stupid though. "Just don't lock-on bro" is a defense as old as the game itself, and still doesn't justify DS2's philosophy of "let's see how many times we can fuck the player."

He talked about all "innovations" made by the devs as inherently good, or somehow being implemented to challenge what players perceived as what Dark Souls 2 should be. That's extremely meta, and I am sure people just wanted to have a good time in a game again.

Made some good points at times
Made some silly points and sounded like a condescending dickhead for the rest of the video.

For me I never really liked ds2 but I have it another go when this video came out and really enjoyed it.

It has the most replayability out of all 3, most freedom in the world too.

DS3 really disappoints as not all builds are viable and it's always the same game

Dark Souls 2 is the hardest, and that makes it the best and simultaneously the most hated.

Remember, there's no such thing as unfair, only players who are good and players who are bad. The rings you get for beating the game without saving or dying is proof enough of that.

of course he was, matthew is speechless

Nah, he was pretty wrong. DS2 isn't a bad game, but it's not Dark Souls.

>>377420831
This guy is all over the fucking place.
DS2 is obviously the black sheep of the series, but it was still head and shoulders above like 95% of the other releases that year. No ones saying its an objectively awful game.
I'll shit on ds2 for its flaws like anyone else (and they are flaws, despite what this guy thinks) but I still have almost 400 hours played on steam, so it must have done something right.

>>377421202
This.
The video felt more like an attack to someone else's viewpoint rather than an actual defense.

No, his video is almost completely shit.
He completely "forgets" to mention all the largest problems the game has, and his defense boils down to "well this is bad but it's okay because in this other game I didn't like this either." He constantly misrepresents the issue, and strawmans as hard as humanly possible.

>>377420831
No, and it's still the worst in the series.

>>377420831
No

>>377420831
It could have been shorter but I agree with him. While DaS 2 didn't have the highest peaks it was the best game in the series

Let's review his arguments.
>Health system
-In shooters health works this way
-In demon souls health works this way, I didn't like demon souls way of doing it because I died healing.
-In darksouls it works this way, I didn't like it, sometimes I used all my flasks ;_;
In darksouls two it's even worse!!! Which is why I love it! It's absolutely genius because it's slow so you can't count on the heal to be fast enough to save you! You know whats not fun? Getting better at the game! It's good because I like it! Everyone who didn't like this is wrong. DEFENDED
>Things he didn't mention
-You can just pop like 4 large gems and then heal insanely fast and forever and just walk into attacks like a god.

>The entire video is like this.

>>377422798
The best parts were towards the end where he defended the disjointed world design by comparing them to 80's album covers and because a world that doesn't make physical sense is more unpredictable and therefore better than one that does. Also defending the opening cutscene by explaining that the old woman with a spinning wheel represents fate just like this old Akira Kurosawa film, which I'm super smart and cultured for mentioning unlike everyone else who wasn't impressed by it and therefore was to stupid to know about this old ass cliche.

>>377422798
He also convieniently forgets to mention that animation times for estus and items gets quicker with stats. Its adaptability if I remember right, which also gave you extra invuln frames so everyone levelled it.

Sure, its slow as fuck at the start but from mid game onwards you can chug estus like a dollar whore

There are some defences for Dark Souls 2, but regarding his video, it's utter shit.

-The entire game is filled with dudes with armor and it's very samey and people have some complaints about that.
-Im not going to discuss any of that, im going to instead bring up a completely different arguement.
-The argument is "I like it so it's fine." DEFENDED.
>Things he didn't mention.
-Magnet feet/top spinning enemies
-The fact that all enemies have infinite stamina and clearly cheat and arn't beholden to the same rules you are which was a major selling point for the series up to now.

Yeah, he's right that Western cilivization needs to die.

>>377423628

>>377424505
It's true, he called the loli in NGNL 'sexy' in one of his videos

>>377420831
The thing about Dark Souls 2 is that it is a good game. It just isn't as good as the other soulsborne games.

Big difference.

>>377424605
Yeah, yeah, and he's said that deadpan lolis are his favorite character archetype, and his ideal waifu would be a big-tittied loli with the personality of his favorite Global Rule 15.

>>377424750

No idea why people here jerk them off so much.

I actually went through the trouble to watch all that shit and not a single one of those even got a DS2 critique right.

>DS2 is so bad what is lock-on?
>DS2 is so fucking good - Everyone who disagrees with me is dumb and Mentos is super dumb

Mentos is a DS1 fanboy on steroids who praises DS1 for the dumbest shit while shitting on DS2 for the dumbest it
hbomberguy is a retarded contrarian who makes videos for the sake of being controversial
And Anderson while attempting to do a decent job at what is doing just doesn't get anything at all.

If i had to choose one of those eceleb fags i would pick Anderson. But only because he puts more effort into his works than the other two.

As someone who really enjoyed darksouls 2, the video is completely disingenuous cringe bait.

He completely misrepresents all the problems with the game, conveniently forgets mention many of the completely undefendable issues, and the crux of every argument he makes is "works for me."

Like hell I would. His voice is just boring and gives me a headache.

Only decent point he made was how you're supposed to adapt to groups of enemies instead of playing like you're a dueling retard.

Everything else is just selfserving arrogant drivel. DUDES IN ARMOR IS FINE BECAUSE I LIKE IT. DONE AND DONE.

He actually praised the game for its flaws to be "edgy" and "contrarian" and ignored its qualities.
His priority was obviously antagonizing everyone who criticizes the game rather than making a honest review.

I liked Dark Souls 2 but he's full of shit. There are so many things that can be said in defense of Dark Souls 2 but outright dismissing perfectly valid points against the game or strawmanning the hell out of them isn't the way.
I guess videos that aren't stating the obvious (Bloodborne is a great game, Fallout 3 is terrible) aren't his strong suit.

Wait what! What rings?

>>377426441
No death run gives you a ring which turns the weapon in one hand invisible

No bonfire run gives you a ring which turns the weapon in the other hand invisible

>>377426441

If you beat the game without using a bonfire / dying, there are 2 rings granted that hide the weapons you are holding. that's another thing DaS2 did right, plenty of 'challenge'-ish things like that / reasons to play NG+

my takeaway points from his video where

>pfftt, look at this BABY using a shield!!
>why is there so little health?!?!
and
>nito, seath and BoC locked behind a fog wall is RETARDED
>aldias keep and giant memories locked behind a door is GENIUS

Is this video made by the same retard that tried to defend DaS2 by misrepresenting other youtubers?

if so, fuck that clown

>>377426735
>misrepresenting

He is right about Methew being retarded but that isn't what a DS2 video should be about.

Hbomber did a garbage job with this video.
People wanted to see someone bring in actually good pros and cons after Mathews controversial fanboy video but instead they get a load of trolling and smugness.

I remember turning it off after hearing his really crappy attempt at saying estus was bad for having deliberate downsides

That film is sick though. I love kurosawa. I want an atmospheric grainy slow paced samurai game

>>377427278
That reminds me, Hbomb's hinted that he's working on a video where he calls Human Revolution a modernized piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be labeled with the title of Deus Ex, and that Invisible War is ten times the game that HR ever will be.

Has anyone watched Threadbareinc?

Funny how he doesn't address the biggest problem in the game: everything from the animation speed to the animations themselves make it feel like your character is moving through molasses. Like, it's actually impressive how they can take a 30 FPS game but still make it feel like it's 15 FPS anyways.
It feels like the game is deliberately unresponsive and cumbersome to make it more difficult. The fact that rolling and estus speed is tied to a fucking stat is evidence for this.

He had a couple of semi-decent points but it doesn't take too long for him to start trying some legit metal acrobatics trying to present horse shit like it's actually gold. When he tried to say that level transitions not making any sense was a good thing because it makes things more mysterious and "time is convoluted bro" I shut the video off. I still feel a little conflicted because I hate that Matthewmatosis video that he's attacking as well, but his own response was even worse if anything. If you're having to distort the facts to try and portray something as good it's not worth defending.

Wat. "level transitions"?

Talking about the instant rain in ...whateverthefuck catsle, and everyone's favorite elevator?

I may not have enjoy DaS2 as much as the others but it was still good enough for me to preorder the black armor edition ,buy all the dlc and then buy the scholar of the first sin edition when that came out on PS4 and I have no regrets.

Specifically that elevator and I think also the fact that Heide's Tower is like a five minute walk from Majula even though it looks like miles and miles if you actually look at it from Majula.

To be honest I always thought that that was a complaint that was exaggerated about DS2. Yeah, it's fucking dumb but the time you spend passing from one area to another just isn't enough to justify the insane amount of bitching people did about it. In the grand scheme of things its a minor issue and only really noticable in a couple of places. But to try and pass it off as something that's actually super good for being mysterious(tm) is just extremely disingenuous. He would have been much better off just putting his hand up and admitting that it's dumb but then also ask if it's really that much of a big deal in the grand scheme of it all.

Had the best gameplay in the series. The problems were in the map design and the some stat systems. Also the rerelease is the best looking by far.

Dark Souls 3 gameplay is the worst.

I don't even think that is a mistake per say. Though I did prefer the original game where you could just see the whole map in scale.

>>377429685
Well, here's mine.

I got tired of typing this shit every time a DaS2 v DaS thread got started so I just saved this as kind of a template that I've added to or edited per-post.

"I'll run down my experience with 2 for you.

Cons:
It's ugly as shit. Everything looks like the "conspicuously bright" trope. Beyond that many of the textures haven't improved since DeS.
The frame rate dips constantly.
Menu icons often fail to load.
Sound effect will fail to play for several seconds, then play all at once. I saw this at least once every half hour or so, even more in combat.
Hitboxes are outrageous. Many enemies' attacks become active before they even start their animations, and as many more are not lined up properly with the models.
In PvP, entire animations are dropped frequently. If you think getting phantom hit was bad, wait til you get phantom hit by someone who isn't even moving.
The entire game, from enemy placement to item catalog, is all about quantity. Dozens and dozens of enemies everywhere. Almost every boss has adds. Huge item catalog with no more useful weapons and armors than any other Souls game.
Terrible, uninteresting, barely-coherent plot.
i-frames from rolling are attached to an Attribute
Many animations are hideous. Especially the getting staggered and juggled animations
Etc.

Pros:
Omnidirectional movement.
Gaurdbreak.
"More difficult" backstabs.
Linear speed reduction from equip burden.
Comparatively exhaustive dual wielding support

After giving myself a couple months without it, I find myself missing a very select, very few aspects of the game. Namely, the comparatively exhaustive dual wielding support, and some of the weapons' movesets, especially PUGS'. Between such movesets and stuff like animation cancelling, the game had the potential to be legendary for its PvP. "

Post too long. 1/2

2/2

However, the execution, like the game's mechanics in general, was a complete disaster. My overall experience with the game was agonizing. Dropped SFX, dropped frames, dropped animations in PvP, laggy messy GUI, terrible and rigid animations, god-awful weapon balance, poor art and level design, abysmal PvP amongst a toxic community, and the list goes on.

I put over $100 USD and 300 hours into DaS2, and I regret every moment and every cent. I kept playing because it was where the community was, and because "hurr you can't say it sucked if you didn't even play it durr".

Well, I played it. I played the shit out of it. And it sucks.

>>377428237
I did a no bonfire run. It's not as difficult as it seems. You can still "touch" a bonefire to save your progress, you just cant sit at one. So the main challenge is using bonfires only when you absolutely need to and in the correct order so if you die the run back isn't ungodly.

It was still very difficult though, and great for pvp.

>>377426108
Ents die in 2 hits, there never has to be more than two (the item gano can be prevented by hitting them while they're in the ground), have long cool downs, and have better hit boxes (sometimes the I frames are hard to read). Bastille Knights have shit hit boxes that take a sixth of your health bar each hit while having more poise. They are not the same thing and you should know this.

>all these asshurt matthewphimosis fancucks crying bitch tears over getting verbally annihilated
honestly dark souls 2 was pretty shit but just not to the degree that faggotmatosis and his gay fans think. to see him get so deservedly blown the fuck out and then scurry away like a fucking rat was exactly what should have happened years ago when he was shilling his shit videos here. fucking mick cunt.

Remember, Dark Souls 2 was so shit they had to patch/"update" the PvE experience to sell the game twice to those that were still doubtful.

The video is bad, just as bad as the initial meme critique video from that Mathew guy so many people here worship. They're both retards with no idea of what makes these games good, but Dark Souls 2 is still the black sheep of the series for good reason.

>what the fuck parry, riposte and backstabs now aren't braindead to execute and/or don't grant 20 secs of iframes
>wow now enemies have movesets to counter cheap tactics like Heide's Knights' flailing, such artificial difficulty
That's the problem of the fanbase as a whole. They love pushing themselves as hardcore players for playing le hard game, and what happens the moment you make interesting levels like Duke's Archives and SoA? They fucking hate it because they don't really want a challenge, they want to cheese like in DaS1 with low-effort strategies.

Plenty of people who liked DS2 said that the video was shit.

I regret buying the collectors edition. Enjoyed the gane, bought it on pc and ps4 later. But damn the collectors was not worth it.

The thing is Dark Souls II isn't the black sheep of the series. It was really well received.

And you'll find a lot of successful games release next gen enhanced editions when new consoles come out. Skyrim for example did it as well.

I don't mind ether, but my onions begin to rust when they have just little arena like spots. less fight creatively just run in a circle. harvest valley has spot like that after the second bonfire.

He makes a handful of decent points but you can almost hear an audible clunk as he shifts into contrarian-for-the-sake-of-views mode.
>getting killed while healing is frustrating and unfun

Who cares Anon. Why not make your own judgements, or, better yet, make your own youtube review.

They don't make it more likely to die when healing.

That is unless you are purposefully trying to misrepresent the point.

the healing system is still unforgivable

was watching some footage and taking a sippy is too damn painful at sl1

This is literally just fucking wrong regardless of whatever other fair points he might have made. On top of that this guy is a pretentious asshole.

No game no life, a shitty pandering anime about outcast neet that are both attractive and highly intelligent transported to a fantasy world where their "game skills" puts them at the very top of said world, made so that sweaty losers can self insert.

Only redeeming quality was that the art was really cute, so yes I catch it

I haven't watched the video and I don't intend to. Did he touch on the fact that the most basic gameplay elements are worse than any other souls game?
It feels like you're moving around in molasses and every hit feels so unsatisfying. At the most basic level, it's just not as enjoyable as the others.

>>377431703
>take sip in DS1 and get hit immediately, live because of the instaheal
>take sip in DS2 and get hit immediately, die because of the slow heal
I know the point is that DS2 makes it less tempting to heal in risky situations, but it does that by making you far more likely to die if you go for a sip in an inopportune moment.

He was dead wrong about so much shit. I think the only thing he got right was the strength of the moment you find Vendrick.

I had fun with the game though despite all its flaws and I think that guy is either retarded or intellectually dishonest to the extreme. You can enjoy a thing and still be critical of it.
