Dark Souls 2 is okay and has a more interesting story than the other two games.

Oh. that guy who posted that trans video. Exactly what a ds2 fanboy would do. You can't make this shit up.

This schizo? Got a source on him being some pro-tranny faggot? News to me. The vocal and aggressive DS2 fans are some of the most impressive I've seen.

He put out a video about how much he loves trannies and hates Ben Shapiro. Did he take it down or something?
>>
>>721799469
Not sure if he removed it already, but he had a video defending trans rights or something. I'm not gonna go and check though. Too much filth for my eyes to handle.

You can't win against the normalfag menace.

>2010s decade, gaming is popularized and companies have been trying for a while to streamline and follow certain standards for maximum appeal and profit
>this one company just makes some game with minimal handholding and with some awkward combat and cool gothic aesthetics
>faggot youtubers show up
>"OH MY SCIENCE, THIS IS THE HARDEST GAME OF ALL TIME!?????"
>Mr. Sony-sama: "Fromsoftware-kun, your game is popular now because it's difficult, we will invest in your success, keep shitting those out"
>Fromsoftware-kun: "Hell yeah" *shits out the same game 10 times over just tweaking the bosses*
>over 10 years later
>Elden Ring comes out
>faggot youtubers: "OH MY SCIENCE, SOULS VIRGIN REACTS TO ELDEN RING??? IS THIS THE HARDEST GAME OF ALL TIME!??????????"

I enjoy fromsoftware games still but Elden Ring showcased perfectly how the company feels that they need to release their games to be successful, Sekiro was their best title and I can't wait until they make another iteration of it instead of keeping up with the rollslop.
>>
I had more fun with his one more than ds3 and elden ring. didn't understand why till I finished silksong. there are just more variety in ds2 than nu-fromsoft games
>>
>You will lose your Dark Souls 2

Why does Dark Souls 2 get so much shit for just continuing a trend started by DS1, that was also pushed hard by fanboys and the media?
>>
>>721798597
>wizened, sage-like old lady has meta knowledge
kino trope from a great game

Fun game. A fucking chore to play a lot of times though.
>>
>>721800202
The trend has nothing to do with DS2. It started with the Artorias DLC and then spawned Bloodborne, DS3, and Elden Ring. DS2 is nothing like those. BB, DS3, and ER are rollslop while DS2 is jankslop with a retarded story, shit controls, and shit level design.
>>

The redditization of Dark Souls.
You know Souls wasn't even a hard game it was just gassed up because of the culture of the time being handholdy while this was comparatively open. The git gud shit mindbroke normalfags into holding Souls as the ultimate gamer street cred card so now we have this meme shit where the game went from how every enemy feels all together with the world to amusement park bosses doing backflips for the stream
>>
>>721800202
>gameplay downgrades compared to ds1
>janky because of troubled development
>not made by miyazaki
>longer than ds1 and ds3, so it's more likely for people to be tired of playing it halfway through
>enemy placements and quantity
Any of these alone would be easy to just ignore, but combined they just take the fun away for most people, I guess. I personally enjoyed the game, but I also completely understand people hating on it.

No it didn't, it started with DS1. It's hilarious how many people try act as if "le prepare to die" meme was a community thing, and not something actively pushed by the publisher. Dark Souls' difficulty was it's major selling point day 0.
>>
>>721800275
i never ragequitted a dark souls game. i never felt angry at a dark souls game. simply because it's single player and i know i'm playing against a stupid computer. i don't feel bad for making mistakes so long as there's no comparisons to draw between me and another sweatlord the other side of the world.
the worst experiences in gaming i've ever had come all unilaterally from pvp multiplayer games.

It's not about marketing the difficulty, it's about how the devs implement that ideology in the games. DS1 without the DLC plays nothing like the rollslop of BB, DS3, and ER. In order to make the games "difficult" after DS1 (excluding DS2 as it was made by the C-Team) the devs just made the enemies spam attacks with delays to their openings to throw off the player. So the games became a matter of dodge, attack, repeat. Elden Ring takes this to a ridiculous extreme.
>>
>>721800750
The spam, delayed attacks, and overall anime-esque combat of ER (specifically the bosses) is what has shied me away all this time (but I will try it soon). It looks like Midir and Gael, but even worse. Player doing nothing 90% of the time, feeling like the NPC, while the boss does batshit combos nearly non-stop, with constant jumping, teleporting, and overall eye-rape of screen effects and noise. Such a shame From kept going in this direction. They've never been about or for bosses, yet, they kept going to it.
>>
>>721798760
You should check yourself for hepatitis.
>>
>>721800750
The marketing is what led to that ideology in the first place, and said ideology is kept alive by the current and future fans. Fromsoft is stuck in vicious cycle of making their games harder because their install base keeps growing and keeps gitting gud, either by skill or cheese. If the next Fromsoft Souls game is as hard as say, DS1, that shit will get laughed out of the room by the majority it's fanbase who've acclimated themselves with ER's speed and difficulty.

People hated it because Miyazaki wasn't involved on it, that's it, and when asking what's wrong with the game instead of saying real complaints they would say stuff like "the world makes no sense" like that is a gamechanger.
The only real complain is how you need to level up adaptability, but then again you level it up to 20 and forget about it for the rest of the game, Dark Souls had the opposite with an stat that was worthless instead, kinda funny.
>>
>>721800202
It was a bad game with worse bosses, level, combat and movement than its predecessor
And people tend to hate that
>>
>>721800750
>the devs just made the enemies spam attacks with delays to their openings to throw off the player.
The enemies spam attack to punish passive shitters and delay them to make them exploitable
>>
>>721801036
Enemy spam, Enemy turning on a dime to instantly track your direction, the start of the series really hating shield builds and by the end of the game, half the moves of bosses and strong enemies were 1hko (the Ancient dragon farting you to death being one of the famous ones)
>>
Anyone else remember how you move slower when locked-on in DS2 outside of moving forwards? I liked that trick.
>>
>>721801036
>snap point movement
>jank because of development issues
>several enemies concentrated into small areas leading to more ganks
And the list goes on. Don't get me wrong. I also think this game is overhated, but a lot of the criticisms it receives are deserved. Still a great game, but it's heavily flawed.
>>
>>721798636
All souls games without exception suck ass. Consoleslop shit with a ui made for paraplegics and a key combination jump function.
>>
>>721800856
ER felt like roaming around a repetitive, barren world looking for bosses. The bosses are the focal point of the game and everything else suffers as a result. There’s always a save point right before the boss, the whole thing may as well just be a big gauntlet of bosses.

Verbal diarrhea from a contrarian retard. The less you think about it the better.

>>721801507
It's evident that the post is contrarian, but I figured I'd give him an opportunity to explain himself on that point.
>>
>>721798597
I recall witnessing this crap as a kid and even back then thought it was cringe as fuck, killed my mood and I quit shortly after.
>>
>>721798597
In what way? Besides a few games that liberally borrowed from Dark Souls, the industry as a whole is largely on the same path as it was before, except now there's a tiny space for people who want something different.
