Said no one ever. das2 is shit.

>>382146378
could you be any more of an obvious troll?

reminder that the dark souls 2 subreddit is the least active of the series, making it the least reddit game in the series

I wish that I could go back in time and prevent Demon's Souls from ever being made so I wouldn't have to spend the next decade seeing shitty Souls bait threads

I love DaS2. I'm replaying SotFS with a couple characters at once so I can play with my friends and I'm having a blast using different builds for each. I solo'd the game my first time through, but after getting all the achievements I'll admit I'm having way more fun playing co-op. There's nothing wrong with the game though, it's fun, challenging, and has great build and equipment variety. Shitters gonna shit though.

>>382146378
This is so true. But you also forgot
>waahhh, why do the enemies actually turn around and hit me as I'm dodging instead of just mindlessly attacking one direction like they used to

baiting and falseflag posts are killing this board

>>382146378
DS2 is objectively the easiest game in the series.

What people have issue with is that DS2 is full of needlessly cheap shots, it's an entire game of the bridge dragon and the fall before nito

I beat DaS2 in under 20 hours and it was complete shit.

>>382146914
no that's DS3

>>382147348
No, that DS2, the game with dozens and dozens of ways to break it, fundamentally overpowered mechanics (that mostly tie into adaptability), the most onesided for the defender invasions in the series (and a lack of invasions in general) and a shitload of bosses just being "big man with easily dodged attacks" and nothing else going on

There you go, the extra 10 hours was put into the 2nd and 3rd DLC as well as fucking around in PvP. Soulsbabies need to get off their high horses anyway, these games are fucking easy.

Except you easily can.
>it's too hard
Nobody said that.
It's just that the gamedesign is about "You played DaS1? Fuck you" focusing what made the game popular (memes) and not what made DaS1 good.

It's the best fashion souls though

Turnspeeds in the game are kinda fucked.

Fair enough my dude, thanks for putting up some proof. I'd agree that the series isn't all that hard once you know what you're doing, but I love replaying them just for the atmosphere. Kudos for making up your own mind at least.

>I don't know where to go!

I did have many "where tf am I supposed to go now?" moments during my first playthrough, for example when that big optional-boss dragon gives you the Ashen Heart thing and you're supposed to go to that random tree that you saw in the beginning of the game

>>382148818
No problem dude, and I don't mind the game or the series, otherwise I wouldn't keep buying them, but Souls games sure do bring in a load of shitposting.

>>382146678
How would DS2 haters refute this argument?

It took me 10 days to get platinum in one of the easiest games in the history of gaming franchises. Seriously each area following the "chosen hunter" and his excessively buffed weapons from assorted game locations as he fights brainless enemies has been less engaging than the last. Aside from the handholding, the game's only consistency is providing you with absolutely retarded, unchallenging mobs and allowing you to run through all of them without any combative motivation thoughout the entire game. All to make the difficult feel easy, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when From Software voted to make the game a PS4 exclusive; they made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody. just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for the souls series. Bloodborne might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the normalfag game in its refusal of challenge, skill and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the Dark Souls games were good though
"No!"
The enemies were easy; the bosses were unfairly hard. As I played, I noticed that every time a enemy went for an attack, he spent an unrealistic amount of time telegraphing an attack.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every second the enemy stretched his arm back. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope a several dozen times. I was incredulous. Miyazaki's mind is so governed by outdated game design philosophies that he has no other style of challenge. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Dark Souls by the same Kevin-V from Gamespot. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are playing Bloodborne at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to play the Star Wars Jedi Knight." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Bloodborne" you are, in fact, trained to play Jedi Academy.

There's a difference between being hard and being plain cheap.
Several areas and enemy encounters in Dark Souls 2 are deliberately poorly designed in order to attain its difficulty.

Alexa doesn't track the populations of subreddits and 4chan boards.

DaS2 was like a real test of what you've learned before with some new mechanics AND resource management. I liked it better that 3.

>>382146378
I literally died like three times in my first playthrough of that game. Kill yourself.

>>382153764
You're using a retarded definition of management, then. For any stretch of game you have virtually infinite amounts of healing leading to no necessity to manage your resources. Buying some more healing for almost no souls is not "managing". Lifegems are the most offensively retarded addition made in the entire game.
