The Sonic Cycle is real, infests every series, and has convinced people that Dark Souls 2 was just as good as the others in the series.

Broski I'm replaying the series right now and I'm at Dark Souls 2 and this shit is still mostly mid as hell. Almost called it dogshit there but I do still enjoy making a build in this. It's just that the level design and combat is fucking tedious.

DS2 is aging like wine because the more games From makes the more it reveals how streamlined and slop-esque their game design has become. Yes DS2 was criticized at the time but in a post-Nightreign world it's clear that DS2 was the last time they put effort into making an old school RPG first and rollslop second.

How to enjoy Dark Souls 2?
>>
>>731022009
I prefer repeat playthroughs of 3 than 2
>>
>>731022009
but 3 is the only good one
>>
>>731024337
I primarily got through it by the high that was finishing DS1 and really soaked DS1 in. For DS2 I went hybrid melee and sorc' as it often seems like the game really wants you to have ranged at least sometimes. I did enjoy often swapping between weapons, shields, binocs, and the many spells on the fly, and the very slow and easy nature of the game helps this, too (barring ambushes but they're not hard, tedious and cheap at best). It's a mediocre game that's lukewarm throughout, I drop it some way within the DLCs (typically finish ivory crown, do a bit of the other two). I can't see focusing entirely being one thing as being fun in DS2, the game showers you with so many weapons, armours, and more importantly, levels, that you can easily do a big mix.

people only disliked 2 because of soul memory, every other aspect of it was perfect

too weak of bait
>>
>>731024337

Is powerstancing just shit and not worth doing at all? Because it seems like that to me and I'm trying to powerstance axes.
>>
>>731024337
play slow and enjoy exploring, literally get lost
a blind ds2 playthrough is something you'll only experience once in your lifetime
>>
>>731024337
Caster build.
The worst part of DS2 aside from it being ugly as shit is how janky the melee combat feels.
There are a ton of mechanically unique spells that you don't find in later games too, and with the Black Witch's staff you can cast magic of every type without constant swapping between catalysts.

You say this except Nightreign is the first souls game since 2 that actually feels like an RPG and not an action game with levels

Nightreign is the best souls game since DS2. Only secondaries and people who are genuinely bad at the series disagree. It tests RPG and dexterity better than anything in the series so far

I hate DS2, but I like this boss in a vacuum. His moveset is good. Of course, the fact that he's literally just Ornstein is insanely stupid and pandering, and Heide is a terrible level.

It's literally just phase 2 Ornstein's moveset with sloppy dark vfx instead of lightning

Actual proper answer: aggressively gaslight yourself into believing it's not a souls game but a third person view King's Field, then proceed to gaslight yourself into enjoying being ambushed by mobs (nuanced and kinolvdo game design)

DS2fags yet again reinforcing they're some of the most insane of all video game communities.

If you hold right on the analog stick the enemies will miss 90% of their attacks with no thought required
>>
>>731024337
overlevel adp and then play it normally. otherwise the game just feels janky and stupid
>>
>>731026361
Wait...did you think I literally meant 30 levels? Hoooly cringe. I didn't know you were an actual ESL baboon who can't understand figures of speech. And this isn't even starting on the fact that I gave you a graph that shows DS2 rolls are worse than the other games in 95% of situations.

because it came out before Bloodborne, which was the moment the series went from rollkino to rollslop.

anon, its boring and ugly to look at, just play ER or DS1&3.

Check out any "pro"-DS2 or DS2 critique videos on youtube and the comment sections are wild. DS2fags truly are insane, I kinda respect it.

Don't be weird. Maybe you should play it, for the first time.

Sekiro isn't a souls game or asoulslike at all

Entire city? I don't think so, they're incredibly different (lore and visually). There are parts of earthen peak in that DLC, but that's because everything is being mushed together so you see parts of all sorts in there. Like DS1 firelink shrine at the bottom, where you fight demon prince.
