Say something positive about Dark Souls 2
>>721041863it was sloppa before soulsloppa came around
>>721041863something positive about Dark Souls 2
>>721041863cool npc invaders/summons and super parry
some of the levels were very well designedMajula was a nice hubThe game felt long in a good way in terms of areasPursuer was a great boss
Its the only dark souls game where I liked the story.
It took step to the right direction in the series. Unfortunately they then did 180 degrees turn and completely went the opposite direction. DaS2: SotFS is the best souls game indeed.
>>721041863well for one thing it's not ds1 or ds3
>>721042794this is barely the same genre
>>721042972
>>721041863Bonfire Astetic or whatever it was called. It let you reset the boss of any area as often as you liked. And that was fucking great and they NEVER DID ANYTHING LIKE IT EVER AGAIN.Fuck you Michael Zaki. Ya prick.
this is baaad, "objectively" because the enemies do things...wow amazing analysis...
>>721042002I did like the implementation of torches. The puzzles were gay but torches are just good QoL.
>>721042869I'm actually impressed if that was his first time
>>721042869The real way to tackle is to throw bomb at the exploding barrels when they are near the doorway inside the building
>>721041863It's unironically the best Souls game ever.

>>721041863world structure is way better despite a lack of showy "interconnectedness"it was nice to have just a couple linear paths and not have to mess around with looking up where to go next
>>721041863The red iron twinblade is fun and looks lit when you imbue it with fire.
It took the soulsslop flavor out of my taste long before DS3 and cured my fanboyism of these games.
>>721041863Although not uch of an accomplishment it was better than pre TOH BB
>>721041863I like its weapon variety
>>721043203Why didn't he kill the enemies behind him? Why didn't he bait the turtle into using its downward smash and time a roll to escape it? Why is he just trying to walk past everything?
Poison windmill area was cool.
>>721041863It founded Dark Souls 3
>>721041863I does deserve an "advanced remaster".
>>721041863It feels the most like an adventure.
>>721041863>Say something positive about Dark Souls 2It's better than Demon's Souls.
it tried to warn us of the direction in which fromsoft will goi liked the design of some of the bosses
Powerstancing was a great feature.
>>721041863Ds2 scholar of the first sin is like playing 4 games at once with a single character and that's comfy.
>>721041863It's the only Souls game that doesn't feel like it has massive input delay. It's the entry I played the most from the main series. NG+ is cool. Has the best fashion.
https://youtu.be/HlRWolVppAU?si=IhDlzmJUT2JQfAHl&t=1794LMAO
>>721041863I like ur NG+ :)
>>721049195It's another fucking swamp, but with air
>>721041863Best one for replay.
>>721041863It is the best Souls game.
>>721055083Not THAT positive.
The silksong of dark souls
>>721041863Watcher's Set besides the helmet is one of the best armors in the series, and the Celtic/Post-Roman-Pre-Norman armor theming makes it stand out.
>>721041863>it helped me to never be excited for a sequel to a game i liked ever againOutside of that i dont think there is a single positive about it. It is designed so poorly on every level with an awful story to boot, that i am still impressed how anyone that finished it actually could muster to be positive about it. I guess the only thing it has going for itself is that its called Dark souls. if you took that way it would lose to even the worst soulsclone.
mauler made a high quality and well researched video on Dark Souls: II
Unironically DS2 had the best PVP mechanics in the series
>>721056247and gets completely destroyed by ESLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bk6V-TWg3Y
It vastly improved the inventory screen and bow aiming.
>>721041863Uh.....That one invader that pretends to be friendly and keeps moving like a fucking snake was pretty cool I guess.
>>721056552I hate that fucking guy
>>721056247>>721056425the only thing I know about this guy is he was the narrator for Empires of the Undergrowth.Fun game :)
Power stancing. Hexes. Magic being powerful. Blue acolyte simply being possible. NG+ making meaningful changes. Bonfire ascetics allowing you to move a specific area into NG+. Majewler had waifus. A talking cat.
>>721043145It's spelled ascetic.How do faggots from English speaking countries not understand their native tongue?
>>721041863I can't, it's just so unbelievably shitEverything about it is
>>721056985It's an archaic word that see almost no use anymore.
>>721051021>Powerstancing was a great feature.Powerstancing was trash and useless>>721056487>Unredirectable attacks and menu that forces a character screen and makes hardswapping awfulNo
>>721041863I like how it... well... ummm... Smelter chest had underbooba?
>>721057149I love how some of the shit in those games doesn't even make sense and feels like some prick just snatched a bunch of words from a dictionary and no one ever questioned their usage.Like the "Old Akelarre" bonfire which people probably thought is just a fancy old word for "jail" like "gaol" when in reality it means "Witches' Sabbath" and is a gross mistranslation of the original name "where the witch (Rosabeth) was".
>>721041863Powerstance is the coolest shit ever.
>>721057179>makes hardswapping awfulAre you one of those guys who hardswapped instant gundyr charges in DS3 because it was the only way you could win?
>>721041863It's fun.Better than Elden Ring.Last time the series were any fun.DS3 was shit.Gank squads and iframe abuse turbo faggotry.I also like Pyromancy in DS2 better.>>721042287>Pursuer was a great bossI really want a figurine of that big ol fucko.
It's the best Souls game by far.
>>721041863Unbelievably shit game
>>721056917All of those things suck
>>721041863>lots of levels, some of them are even good>iron tower is dank>reasonably nonlinear at least at the start>lots of viable builds/weapons and they are actually different, including cool extra options like power stancing and hexes>lots of fun bosses (some meme bosses, some actual challenges)>pretty good lore although presentation is not ideal>fashion souls>good pvp apparently>pretty good NPCs/dialogue although some are mediocre>NG+ that is actually sort of interesting>bonfire ascetic is a cool mechanic>not too fast
Introduced soul geyser into the series. Still pissed they cut out all the cool sorcery mechanics from the demo, heavy casting the big spells would've been fun.
>>721041863my emergency laptop can run it somewhat smoothly, so i can game during emergencies
>>721050836If you call DaS3 Demon's Souls sure
It has more good areas than Dark Souls 1, both as a percentage and flat amount.It's the last decent fromslop game.
>>721057925What's the problem?
>>721041863It was the best souls game ever made, but DS1 troons who never played Demons Souls nor Kingsfield had a minor heart attack when forced to use tools other than rollslopping rhythm gaming themselves put of hearts way, and as a result we had nearly a decade and half of rollsloppa parryshit games. In DS2 you had a million tools to approach the game. Now it's: parry, roll. We forever missed an era where soulslikes could've been adventurer focused games, using tools such as bows and consumable to approach different encounters, relying on strategy over twitch gameplay, where positioning and control of your space mattered more than R1 spam. Instead we now have Shadow of the Erdtree. It's no wonder chongs took to soulslikes like flies to shit. Next time you see Wukong slop with floaty combat and the most retarded imaginable combat and encounter design, you can thank DS1fags for being too afraid to think for once in their mudridden, bloodshit spattered miserable filthy fucking lives.
I really liked the halberd in this game
Majula is one of the only good themes in the series
>Say something positive about Dark Souls 2Bear Seek Seek Lest
>>721041863It's better than Scolar of the First Sin.
>>721062137tryna say dat up da hood nigga see wtf happn
