Is Dark souls 2 SOTFS hard compared to 1? Or easier? I'm

>>383563559
DaS broke you before the first difficulty spike, and for the most part that's a fair and reasonable game.

SOTFS is a mix of "so easy its boring" and "cheap as fuck". Very little of it is a genuinely fun, balanced middle ground where you don't feel like either you or the game is raping the other.

>>383563559
There's around 5 or 6 areas that are just as bad, if not worse than Blighttown is. Have fun.

>>383564218
ok

I got bored of 2 in the pirate cove. I barely played it really, but missed the cool architecture and stuff of the first game. Should I soldier through it? I've also never played 3.

>>383564428
Yeah 2 is the best game, well worth it

>>383564218
Can't think of any that are half as bad as Blighttown is, but outside the DLC I can't think of anywhere in all of DS2 that's as good as Painted World, Anor Londo, New Londo Ruins, or Sen's Fortress.

DS2's biggest problem with level design is that most of them are boring and linear.

just go to DSG

>>383565927
Nah.

DaS2 gives you basically infinite healing, but the damage output is higher so you're more likely to die before getting a chance to heal.

You still haven't made it past blight-town? It's been like two days since you asked us in what order you should play 2, & 3. I've blown through blight-town three times since then. Go beat Dark Souls 1 already.

Back when I used to pvp in sotfs I'd carry 99 life gems & taunt my opponents by using them even at full health. shits so broken.

I forgot the name of it, but that one item that one item that heals and restores magic was so bullshit. It lasted forever.

DaS2 will forever be my favourite because of power stancing and no one can change my mind
It's mostly just enemy spam though, most areas feel tedious because they're 30% 5v1 situations that are near unavoidable without a bow to lure

The Drake sword?

DaS2 is basically a World war Z game. Like the game isnt about fightning interesting enemies, its about fightning fucking billions of skeletons running at you mindlessly like zombies with the other trillion is shooting shit at you and somewhere in a corner there is one big guy defending an item.

>Cardinal Tower
>There is a gate next to me
>There is a guy near me saying that the gate will close and something will atack me
>oh shit maybe finally a new enemy
>its just 5 basic mobs rushing at you just because
>mfw

>>383567132
No, it's one of those consumable potions from 2.

>>383567361
The Bastard sword?

>>383567329
>skeletons chasing you
Most enemies in Dark Souls are zombies though

>>383567329
What stats should i spend souls on for the first half of dark souls 2? Gunna start the game soon

Original DS2 + DLC is better than SOTFS.

>>383563559
Main fault of Dark souls 2 is that for the entire game you'll be wishing that you where playing dark souls 1 instead.

I hated the diminishing health cap penalty for being hollow in das2 but that might be because I'm shitter than most

>>383567607
This more than anything else

I hate the way hollowing looks in 2.

>>383567684
It was annoying since fall damage was no longer percentage-based. It was possible to die enough that you couldn't actually retrieve your bloodstain if it was at the bottom of a long fall.

>>383567329
I almost expected some Benny Hill music when they rushed at me in one straight line.

>>383567496
enough stats to wield a not-shit weapon then everything into vigor until you stop getting oneshotted

>>383567559
u wot m8?

>>383568207
The new enemy placements exclusively in SOTFS are actually complete garbage and ruin the game so much.

>>383568104
What's a good weapon ?

>>383568352
Your manly spirit.

>>383568352
Anything that's not a dagger

>>383568207
SOTFS has enemies FUCKING

EVERYWHERE

WHY

>>383568491
It's also possible to encounter the trash mob versions of bosses before actually fighting them as bosses.

>>383568491
Brebor to dye
XDDD

>>383568260
The enemy placement made me think that they had absolutely no fucking clue about what they were doing.
For every one that made sense like Heide Knights actually being in Heide you get shit like the Executioner Chariot inside Drangleic Castle or the Grave Wardens STILL roaming around in Earthen Peak which only ever made sense in the pre-downgrade version.

>>383568352
claws

>>383564573
that watery area with enemies casting magic missiles on you is worse than several blighttowns combined
was it called shrine of amara?

>>383567784
At least trees in the play area are actually modelled and not two bitmaps put onto a polygon spike.

>>383568491
So does Doom, so I guess Doom is a shit game now.

Faggot.
