Just beat Dark Souls 3 and it's definitely one of my favourite games of all time.

It was my first souls game so I picked up DS2 in the Bandai Namco sale. Really not enjoying it so far. Movement is so much slower and the health bar reduction system is so dumb.

Probably not even gonna bother finishing it now and not interested in the first game anymore. Will probably just replay DS3 on NG++.

Would you say the first game is more similar to number 3 or number 2? I play PC so can't get bloodborne. If it's more akin to DS2 I'm not interested at all :/
>>
>>379008027
If your first Dark Souls is 3 then you'll hate 1. The combat and movement in DaS1 is much more clunky and sluggish compared to 3. Plus the PC port is shit, the game is tied to framerate which is locked at 30fps.
>>
>>379008027

Does DSfix not remedy that? I understand certain jumps and ladders need to be done with the framerate at 30 but everything else apparently works fine?
>>
>>379008372
I tried to use DSfix twice and it ended you breaking my game, so I couldnt tell you. You mighy have a better experience with it

DS3 is unironically the worst souls game

>DS3 is unironically the worst souls game
Honestly I can't tell which I like less, 3 or 2. I've played more 2 by a great deal.

I beat the game a week ago, just avoid the other souls, its not worth the work to get them to run properly.
>>
>>379008027
You aren't going to like DaS1. Bloodborne would be more your alley, but it seems like it's not possible for you to play that game. .
Pretend the series only had one game.

>>379009042
Right.
DaS3 just goes through the motions.
>>
Play ds1 and get ds fix. You just gotta play for a bit and then you'll get used to the experience. Don't let it ruin your experience and don't expect to use rolling tactics as much. Get a nice shield and sword and you'll be set
>>
>>379008940
>Muh pvp !!!

At least 3 has cool bosses and good music. 2 is boring
>>
>>379009208
fuck off casual
DS3 bosses are all easy as fuck and underwhelming
>>
>>379009264
>Underwhelming

Yeah I bet you love your 2 Smelters and 18 Dragonriders
>>
DS1 is the most similar to DS3.

You'll probably like it. It's my favorite, with DS3 being second. I also enjoyed DS2, but that's just me appatently.
>>
DS3 was a mistake, maybe even a bigger one than 2. They saw that BB did well and decided to make DS3 exactly like it.

>>379009079
Are you fucking retarded by chance?
>>
>>379009208

OP, have only played one DS2 boss so far, the last giant. Easy as fuck. Shit fight, can't even see anything other than his shins because of the camera. Are you really saying Gael, Midir and Nameless King are behind every prior souls game boss?!

Dark Souls 2 really feels like shit to play and it's the only one like that. You shouldn't let it turn you off from Dark Souls 1.
>>
Where does this claim of "Dark Souls 2 feels like shit to play", emphasis on "feels" come from? I've never played any Dark Souls games, btw. I'm just curious.

Why on earth does the game run at lets see here,,,,
1024x760 or some shit like that while capped at 30 fps. I mean Im not gonna download some mod to fix this shit, also the controls are fucking horrible
>Delete to open menu

>>379010398
I'm playing through SotFS again right now and didn't even notice that deadzone.

Now that you've brought light to it I'm always gonna notice it. Fuck

Learn to read, autist
>>
>>379010602
Thanks for confirming it.
>>
>>379010484
The character doesn't control as precisely and all the animations have too many windup and recovery frames. It makes it feel sticky and imprecise.

Example: After doing an attack with your sword in Dark Soul you can roll out of the way of an incoming attack immediately, so you attack then dodge pretty smoothly. In Dark Souls the time that you could have dodged in is taken up by the recovery of your attack. So you swing your weapon and then you're stuck in place watching an animation where your character resets back to the neutral position before you can dodge.
>>
>>379010693
Prime example: 1-handing lances. Do an R1 and wait 40 fucking years while your retard character holds the lance out before you can roll. What did Fromsoft's B-Team mean by this?
>>
>>379010917
>>379010693
I wonder if anyone's made a webm demonstrating the difference between 1 and 2's fluidity/response time...
>>
Daily reminder that if you use shields, you're "playing Dark Souls wrong".
>>
>>379008027
Dark Souls 3 is not a Souls game, so of course it would be your favorite.
>>
das1 is the best souls game, lad. and it is more like 3 than 2.
>>
>>379012103
You're embarrassing yourself.
>>
Why do you say that the health reduction is dumb while playing unembered in DaS3 is LITERALLY the same thing?
>>
>>379012834
Because dying in DaS3 doesn't continuously decrease your max hp. Embering just increases it, so it's not even necessary
>>
>>379008940
SotFS is the worst Souls game
>>
>>379012973
Yes it does.
>>
>>379013727
>b-but Dark Souls 2
>>
>>379012834
Not him, but it's the same reason it worked in Demon's Souls but doesn't in Dark Souls 2.

Dark Souls 2's damage is balanced around you have all of your HP, then the hollowing mechanic got slapped on afterwards and it just makes the game feel like more and more of a chore.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 3 were clearly designed with that mechanic in mind, and it's a single decrease/increase you can adjust to over time, so it feels a whole lot less bullshit.
>>
>>379013994
I'm not talking about Dark Souls 2. I'm talking about SotFS specifically. DaS2 is fine, but SotFS is irredeemable shit.
>>
>>379008905
You can throttle it with Backspace at the parts where it breaks.

There's only two areas I can think of where you completely fall off the map at 60fps.

Apparently "one of my favourite games" actually translates to "favourite game" to you.
>>
>>379010398
This, moving around in ds2 feels so bad I never bothered to finish the game, none of the other games in the series has this problem.

What if I am using the shield as a weapon?
