How do people put up with the feeling of this game? Just things like walking around, rolling and attacking feel so horrible its not worth putting up with for a couple of decent bosses.

>>378317424
Well DaS1 and 3 are objectively terrible and unfinished, so liking those games is contrarian in contrast with the excellent and complete package that is Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

It's actually probably a tie between this and Morrowind but Skyrim is the only Elder Scrolls game that feels like it has any degree of polish. Oblivion is rancid fucking ass that doesn't have the RPG depth of Morrowind but also doesn't have the decent gameplay and exploration of Skyrim, Oblivions gameplay is 100% fucking abhorrent.

Skyrim gets way too much praise from normalfags but also way too much shit from /v/irgins.

nice fucking meme. I don't even like DaS 3 that much but it, DeS and Bloodborne are by far the least blatantly unfinished games in the series. DaS 2 is even more unfinished than 1, 1 is at least extremely pristine and polished for the first 1/2 while dark souls 2 feels incredibly scattered and half-baked throughout the entire game.

they actually kind of have.
Read the design works interview for DaS2, the producer and two others talk about the process. The game was pretty much finished with a map structure. So when they decided it wasnt good enough they had to break the map up and reuse a lot of areas in new ways, thats why certain things feel like they are out of context and not dark soulsy.

They actually mention the Iron Keep and that they should have made the elevator go down instead of up

Eh, I kind of agree. This is the only game in the franchise which made me feel like an actual Assassin. Not even because it's the only one where you are an actual, historically accurate Assassin, but because all the pre-assassination preparation and information gathering. Also the whole modern story and conspiracy theory bullshit was still pretty interesting and mysterious back then.

Man, navigating through some of the maps is a bitch due to how unfinished and glitchy some of them are.
Lost Bastille is especially terrible but I managed to find what would later become Belfry Luna.

Those aren't the reskinned gargoyles from DS1 but completely different ones.
Either they're just placeholders or the reskinned ones were initially not planned to appear.
