This. Dark Souls 3 was such an edgy tryhard game

>""great"" boss soul
>attacks once per minute
>dies to 5 pokes from a rapier

why were 90% of the bossfights in that game so underwhelming and easy as fuck

>>385962170
How is that stupid? It's literally Nito but with flesh instead of bones. It's designed pretty damn well.

You think that's bad?

Damage sponges are so fun, right?

>>385962574
It's a bad game, no matter how many buzzwords you throw around it won't make it better.
B-Team fucked up, everyone gave them shit for it and then moved on. I recommend you do the same.

>>385962170
From a mechanic design, I understand that he's a pushover, but what's wrong with the visual design? It's some good body horror.

reminder Dark Souls 2 is the highest rated souls game by far

>>385963081
Nito at least had atmosphere.

>fall into boss arena, instantly lose health, hear a shrieking noise and probably lose more health
>can't see what's going on and can't even see the boss
>skeletons start fucking you up
>boss slowly approaches from the darkness

Also Nito had an AOE magic spell, a ranged attack, as well as melee attacks and a grab attack, causing him to just be a more interesting fight in general.

>>385962815
>wanting giant bosses to have puny amounts of health

Bait harder

If not bait, git gud. The dragon takes double damage if you hit it in the face. If you're not good enough to do that the problem is you, not the "damage sponge"

>>385962815
After beating him on NG++, I've come to like his huge fuck all health
Actually makes him seem like a threat when every other dragon was piss easy, minus Kalameet
And this is coming from someone who hates DaS3

Also not as highly rated as Bloodborne.

>le salty xDDDD
Dark Souls 3 fans are underage, how fitting

>>385963235
Rotten has quite literally all of that. Maybe play the game before you spew opinions that aren't true

>>385962874
>it's a bad game
No, DaS3 was a bad game
DaS2 was a game that tried, and failed in some areas but was still charming and fun

>>385963235
>Also Nito had an AOE magic spell, a ranged attack, as well as melee attacks and a grab attack, causing him to just be a more interesting fight in general.
The Rotten has every single one of those, though his ranged is not as ranged as Nito's.

DSII took a step in the dark and fell down a cliff.

Has as many active players as 1, which is /v/'s crown jewel. And nearly as many as 3 which is the hot new meme pile of shit

>>385963532
This was a treat compared to ME3's "bossfight".

>>385962574
>Dark Souls 2 meme hate

the problem is that most people knew that Demons and Dark Souls were games that needed a bit of patience until everything made sense. So we exercised patience with DS2 no matter how shit it was, expecting it to make sense. And then the game ended and our patience was all in naught. People hate this game because we felt betrayed. The whole thing is a meme version of the first game, same way Silent Hill sequels were memes of the first 4.

So you like phoned in cashgrabs with no thought or effort put into them? And it doesn't even look as good as 1. 3 is literally brown and grey with bloom

Only contrarians think DaS2 is anything above decent, at best.

>>385963725
DaS3 tread a familiar path, looked pretty but was boring as shit and didn't understand what made it's older sisters hot
DaS2 fell down and dropped it's assorted daggers but at least got back up and asked you if you wanted to go hang out afterwards

Either way, DaS2 is a better game than 3>>385963726

wow, not a single informed or thought out opinion.

>>385964425
Most of them are subjective problems.

>DS2 is good because a youtuber said so

>>385962815

I've beaten this boss without getting hit, and I'm not even that good at souls fame

How? Because you got your ass beat by him?

>>385964783
>DaS2 is bad because reddit said so

The only thing about this boss that was stupid is that he was incredibly easy to beat yet still had cool mechanics that went unused because he was so easy.

Nice meme opinion my fellow /v/ contrarian

>>385965190
Just as much of a meme as "Dark Souls 2 is bad". You just don't like hearing anything with truth to it sweetie.
I don't hate souls games at all, but what I said is still true

Video related is more accurate than any meta meme video

did anyone else know that you can actually hit the rottens left arm off? i just found out about it yesterday

>>385964004
The only contrarians are ds2 memers since the game is highly rated world wide and still has more players than ds1 despite not being the last entry in the series anymore.

>>385965757
You can dismember a lot of ds2 bosses and sub bosses, there's a video compilation of it.

>>385965757
You can cut both arms.

But if any of you fucks like 3 more than 2, than you do, in fact, have shit taste

>Soul Memory
Yes, we get it, Soul Memory fucking sucks, but not enough to ruin the game.
>ADP
Barely any issue if you just put a few points into ADP, but everybody goes to this to complain despite it being an easily solvable problem. Why don't you niggas complain about the fact that Resistance is a completely useless stat in Dark Souls 1?
>Mostly bland enemy designs
Subjective.
>Gank squads ad nauseam
This is an obvious sign that somebody didn't play the game. Gank Squads are barely prevalent in Dark Souls 2, and when they are, the enemies move at a speed that makes it manageable to fight more than one of them at a time, or they have low poise so you can pull out a heavy weapon and stunlock any charging at you. Please give me an example of a gank squad and i'll happily tell you how fucking easy it is to deal with if you use what the game gives you.
>Multi-enemy bosses ad nauseam
So we've got Skeleton Lords, which is a fucking joke, then Twin Dragonriders which is an awful fucking boss and a joke too. The Spider boss, can't remember the name has little spider underlings that die in 2-3 hits so they aren't a problem, then you have Lost Sinner NG+ which is where this shit is actually kinda fucking difficult, but it basically just amounts to whittling down the pyromancers while dodging before taking on Lost Sinner. Dark Lurker splits into 2, but that's because it's already pretty easy fighting 1, and they share a health bar so you don't have to worry about the fact that there are 2 besides dodging. Tell me if I missed any.
>General design ethos of avoiding hitboxes from as many enemies as possible
refer to what i said above. also
>as opposed to meaningful 1v1 duels
>r1r1r1 roll roll r1r1r1
okay. call me crazy, but it's more fun for me to slowly take down a group of enemies while carefully trying not to get overwhelmed.

>>385964425
agility is the best stat in dark souls series.
only casuals call it bad.

>>385964425
There's nothing wrong with ADP itself. The Problem is Agility. Unles you're saying that Attunement is also a problem.

Crown of the Ivory King = Crown of the Old Iron King = Dark Souls 1 > Artorias of the Abyss > The Ringed City > SotFS = Dark Souls 3 > Crown of the Sunken King = Ashes of Ariandel > Dark Souls 2 (original edition)

>>385966950
Best taste in the whole thread

>>385966950
What's wrong with Sunken King?

>>385966950
i want to agree, but i think sunken king is better than sotfs, that aside this is right

>>385963139
I've managed to lose once or twice, granted I was doing it solo

>>385967130
>>385967142
I didn't really like any of the Sunken boss fights and found the whole thing to be a slog. The best thing it did was introduce Drakeblood armour.

DaS2 with /v/ was unironically the best Souls game

>>385964425
>soul memory
allowed for OBJECTIVELY the largest summoning and invasion ranges in the series bar Dark Souls forest fags. literally only negatively impacted twinks, which is good. now there's even the Agape Ring for those fags too. meme opinion
>ADP
so you thin having to utilize spacing and timing is a bad thing? you like just spamming rolls without thought? ADP existed for people that needed it. if you were decent you could play just fine with base ADP. "why should I have to work become a literally invincible god capable of avoiding all damage at any time??"
>bland enemy designs
Not even close to true. Sure some are reskins, but reskins and reused assets are a staple of the series. 2 still has more interesting and more unique enemies than the rest of the series though
>gank squads
where? I always hear this, but have NEVER run into this issue. you are aware that a plethora of ranged combat options exist, right? you are aware that you can use choke points to funnel enemies, right?
>multi enemy bosses
A few yeah. Is that meant to be a bad thing? God forbid the game tries to make you think and be specially aware ever. Only 1v1 duels with the rigid shit Souls AI is acceptable then? how boring can you be

>>385966950
>SotFS worse than any of the Dark Souls 3 content
Ringed City was alright at most

>>385967390
I thought Sinh was pretty lame but Elana was great. What was wrong with her?

>>385966271
DS2 has better gameplay, DS3 has better graphics/atmosphere.

>>385967849
DS2 could have great atmosphere if the graphics weren't so fucking hideous, and I'm not even a graphics fag.

>>385964783
Ironic considering the hate started because of Mathewmatosis.

>>385967592
>>385967821
Not a big fan of minion summoning bosses and I remember thinking 'this boss fight is kind of clunky,' but it's been so long since I touched any DaS2 stuff my memories of the different dark queen bosses might be running together. I don't strongly dislike Sunken, it's just certainly not my favourite.

>>385967745
I really liked some parts of Ringed City but perhaps I overestimated how good it is because it was (for the most part) gold compared to Ashes of Ariandel.

I still fucking love 2 and SotFS, but I really want to see what he's capable of in a non-shit environment. Hopefully Kadokawa will be good to From, but it's hard to tell yet. Can't be worse than Bamco at least

>>385968410
Yeah I didn't hate Ringed City, but there are some pretty questionable things in it. And I really only enjoyed fighting the Demons.

>>385968619
Yeah, I agree
DaS2 is a great game conpared to 3

Too bad.

Also does anyone know if the Rotten has any other voiced lines other than "Get out"?

I don't really understand why there are so many shortcuts for only 5 actual enemies though.

Corvian Settlement feel and design were fucking great, but yeah, it feels odd that probably the shortest section of the overall area had the most work put into it. There should have been multiple villages scattered across the map: the Corvians, especially the knights, were interesting but there was hardly any of them.
The decision to make Vilhelm a phantom rather than an NPC was fucking stupid.
