Is scholar of the first sin better than original ds2?They're both on sale right now.
yes scholar is better
Scholar to vanilla stand in the same relation as homo sapiens to homo erectus.
Scholar plays like babbies first mod, random enemy placements and retarded decisions everywhere. Not to mention the fucking statue placements. Vanilla was bad but scholar proves they have no fucking idea what they are doing
>>737366402I bet you have a homo erectus right now you faggot
They're both pretty bad
They're both pretty rad
>>737366327All the mods are being made for scholar and scholar already comes bundled with the dlc so buy scholar
>>737366576i'm trans btw not sure if that matters
>>737366690Im a transformer (cool)You're a transgender (lame)
>>737366327Better question, is there more pvp on scholar? I'm playing vanilla and can't invade in a lot of areas
>>737366327Vanilla is the real game, sotfs version is to be considered as a harder version/challenge mode of the base game.Please do NOT let /v/tards convince you otherwise, you will completely ruin your first playthrough experience.
>>737366327Vanila unironically has like half the content of Scholar. Most areas feel empty ass fuck once you've seen what they should be like in SotFS
>>737366327every souls game is the same. no, dlc doesnt make them better. no, patches dont change them. no, sequels dont improve or change anything. THEY ARE THE SAME EA MADDEN UBISOFT ASSCREED REHASH EVERY FUCKING YEAR SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT WHICH IS BETTER OR WHAT CHANGED YOU FUCKING RETARDS
>>737367813Oopsie, somebody forgot to take their meds this morning
>>737366327you should play original for the og experience and understand how much bullshit it really was sometimes
>>737366327I've only played vanilla. As the original, I think it's the most important. Scholar has more content of course but from what I've seen it's not that interesting.
Question.What exactly is the >Dark Souls II Upgrade to DX11 (no content)Does it just upgrade the engine(i guess) to dx11 or does it turn the ds2 copy into SOTFS?https://store.steampowered.com/app/355700/Dark_Souls_II_Upgrade_to_DX11_no_content/?curator_clanid=5732389
>>737366327The Definitive way to play is base DS2 with the DLCs addedas far as I know that's still possible to do
>>737366327That is designed like a mod meant to be super hard where they stuck enemies in random, unfitting places because they're hard to beat, and even progression is fucked. It's the newer version, but not the better version.
>>737366327nah. unupdated PS3 Dark Souls 2 is the only way to play it now.
>they're both on sale right now.Why does anon lie? You cannot find DS2 anymore.
For a better experience I would instead recommend: Dark Souls 1 Remastered, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, Sekiro, or even playing Demon's Souls or Bloodborne on an emulator (Demon's Souls is easily playable, as for Bloodborne I'm not sure how good PS4 emulation is yet). DS1 and DS3 are on sale now as well.
>>737366327i played vanilla only and liked it more than Elden Ring desui think most hatred towards DS2 is caused by people that didn't level up ADP in beginning of the game
fuck I didn't know the sale was coming, my dumb ass bought the DS3 dlc like two days ago
>>737366327vanilla is more tolerable
>>737370424Not on console but it's available on pc.>>737370826Stupid move desu, From does sales a few times a year.
>>737367813LMAOOO BASED SCHIZO CRASH OUT
Sotfs is master quest mode
SoFS is the definitive edition of the game. Only retards who blindly run ahead without killing enemies have a problem with the "enemy spam".
>>737369210>Buy Upgrade to DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin
I wish they still sold the unmolested launch version without aldia or whatever that tree guy is who was added in a later patch
>>737371415I played it a couple years ago on xbox 360, some aspects of it aren't good. No way to respawn extinct enemies is what I hated most.
>>737371613Join the champion covenant
>>737370741Can confirm, I played the whole game without leveling adaptability and now DS2 is my least favorite Fromsoft game by a pretty wide marginMy memory's hazy after like ten years, but iirc I was so sick of it by the late game I skipped the dlc that I paid for and just rushed the ending so I could go play something else.I've heard the dlc is actually really good though so maybe I should finally go back and give them a chance
>>737371752That was my point, champion covenant didn't respawn enemies before the scholar patch.
>>737370741how is vanilla better?
>>737366327Dark Souls 2 turns 12 in 4 days
>>737371914>Patch 1.10>Choosing to enter the Covenant of Champions will now allow enemies to continue to respawn after being defeated.I'm retarded...
>>737366327Why subject yourself to rape fest : the game?
>>737373095Based Scholar edition fixes this.
>>737372425It's not, ds2 shills try to scam people in by claiming vanilla is easier and more fair (it's not), pic rel is vanilla
>>737373434You were so closed to greatness with this one... Just one more R1... Why the fuck did you punch..
>>737373061Well it's not common knowledge, I was surprised as well.>>737373434This area is completely trivialized by a bow.
>>737366327the early game of the orignal, especially if you don't build blunt weapon, is very harsh and ragequit inducing.
It's funny when people go out of their way to aggro a billion enemies in SoTFS then act as if the game just spawned them out of nowhere right on top of them, as if you can't do shit like that in every fucking Souls game.
Hehe one area, i don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try
>>737373690just shoot the niggas with the crossbowthe game becomes a joke with a crossbow
>>737373434Unless I'm retarded and this was later patched, here - in this vid - you could just roll forward when projectile / spell is near you and you will not get hit.
The hitboxes in Dark Souls 2 are so bad!
>>737373769I keep telling you guys , elden ring is dark souls 2 but you never listen.
>>737366779>TRANSGENDERS! HOMOS IN DISGUISE *high pitch guitar melody*
>>737373763Yea and he is at the last stretch right before the bonfire, if he hasn't learned how to deal with the missiles in the area before this he deserves getting raped.
>>737366327 Scholar is only way worse than the original in the beginning with more annoying enemy placements and is harder. Second half of the game Scholar improved on the original with less annoying enemy placements and is actually easier.
>>737374664i've only played scholar but never particularly found any early game encounters too hard or annoying
>>737374765Heide knights I guess, otherwise they're pretty much identical..
>>737373631That's not true, when one of them is aggro'd, the rest follow suit, a bow doesn't change much
>>737375036DELETE THIS ELDEN RING IS THE A TEAM MASTERPIECEIt's funny because the one on the left is just plain unfixable bad hitboxes, the one on the right is someone with 0 ADP
>>737375030but heide knights don't do shit unless you attack them or kill the dragonrider
>>737375608That should have been the clue you are talking to a disingenuous retard.
>>737375242I think they don't chain aggro in vanilla
>>737375242The bow is for the casters, the casters that got nerfed already so it's not a problem anymore
>>737367187Yes, most people are over on Scholar now. For PvP and Coop, it's also assumed you are playing Scholar if you talk about it on the interwebs.
>>737371774dlc is good except for each one having an area/boss 100% meant and designed for summoning that're complete and utter ass to do solo
>that random dragon added at Heide's
>>737377852>Why is he called a Dragonrider where are the Dragons this is stupid>Why is there a Dragon here this is stupid it wasn't here before
>>737378105actually he sits near the dragonslayer door making even less sense
>>737378213Could the dragon... perhaps... be keeping the Dragonslayer at bay...? Could it be, maybe, a way of saying that this Dragonslayer isn't really a dragonslayer...?
>>737378289He is so old, people forgot his name, he is the kings fields of souls characters>yeah remember thatt guy with the armor, he was annoying and made the fps drop
>>737378289Could it be.... that they changed a bunch of shit around randomly so they could say it was different enough and sell it again for 60 bucks? Could it be that... it makes for an utter dogshit gameplay experience...?
>>737381892they sold it for 40
>>737378289I think the ornstein armor is there to communicate to the player that heide is where the anor londo royals migrated to. a lot of leftover cathedrals look like anor londo
>>737366327Not in any appreciable way.
>>737375242So what? The gayness of this area is having to fight in the water. The bow lets you safely lure them to you outside of it.
>>737381892It's more likely you're a retard that dismisses anything, regardless of it makes sense, because you personally don't like it. The game is good, you are bad.Don't bother replying to me, I won't give back a (You).
