Every boss in the game can be easily beaten by wearing heavy armor, walking around in a circle with your shield up, and striking every now in then. That's poor boss design.

smelter says hi
Even with how much the game gets shit on, it's still overrated. It's trash.
>>382822880
What design decisions make it better than its predecessors and sequels?
>>382824269
so like every boss in the series then
>>382824716
play 2 then play 3 after. they removed so many fucking good mechanics that were objective improvements to the first game it's insane
>>382824269
That applies to every game in the series.

It's a slower, clunkier kind of game coming from Dark Souls 1. It was jarring to me. I am going to go back and play it though...
>>382822880
>best game in the series
not really. more like the worst one
>gets almost universally shat on
it's not a bad game at all, just a bad souls game
>because of a nitpicking video made by an Irish pedophile
kek. never heard of that video or watched it, but played all games.

it's just the animations. they are bad and the biggest/only major flaw of the game.
blame bamco for fucking up the development hard
>>382822880
>this being the sole reason the game is shat on
>>382822880
DaS 2 being bad is just a meme
Deep inside people know that it's the best game in the series in every aspect
>>382822880
>nitpicking
>pedophile
Sounds suspiciously like /v/'s average user.
>>382822880
garbage level design is not a nitpick you faggot
>>382825028
The only improvement that mattered was the flexibility with powerstancing and dual wielding, that's about it.
It's improvements aren't enough to overshadows the many areas where DS2 took a fucking massive leap backwards
>>382822880
Ds2 is the most creative of the series, but the most poorly executed.
>>382826159
nope, not really
>>382826159
This tbqh
>>382825898
>animations only major flaw of the game
DS2 APOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS
DS 2 is a good game and really better than DS 3 which was boring to death. DS 3 was totally unoriginal and bland. I was so bored i didn't finish it
DS 1 is still the best tho obviously
>>382824269
Replace heavy with light, walking with rolling and shield up with 2 hand wielding and thats almost every soulsborne boss
>>382826243
you don't know shit.

>muh soul memory
literally didn't affect anyone playing the game normally

Where did he touch you, OP?
