Wakey wakey anon, yes you, the one who was shilling Shit of the First Scholar yesterday! I made the screenshots, answer me, what happened to the moon in Shit of the First Scholar version? Why is it like a sun? Why can't I see it? Why is the night so bright?Reminder that Original Dark Souls 2 is superior to Shit of the First Scholar:1. SOTFS ruined the lighting system, cranked up exposure and ruined the entire aesthetic of the game.2. SOTFS enemy TYPE placement is nonsensical and illogical, it ruins immersion and environmental storytelling.3. SOTFS healing upgrade item placement (estus flask shards and sublime bonedust) are inferior to that of the orginal.4. SOTFS ruins the progression, flow and exploration of the game by adding a lot shitty petrified statues blocking off areas for no good reason.5. SOTFS nerfed many bosses, damage and turned the game into a casualized dogshit game. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of the changes made the game much easier in most areas, only a few areas were made harder, as a whole, SOTFS is casualized garbage compared to the original.
>>737939741What happened to the Sun in Shit of the First Scholar version?Fuck anyone who prefers Shit of the First Scholar.
who gives a fuck, they ruined the game in the first place, only the gameplay reveal looks good.
>>737939741Who cares, it's the worst FROM game, you're arguing that a 2/10 game went to 1/10 with SOTFS.Who the fuck cares.
>>737939842Yes, the pre-downgrade lighting obviously is better than both. We don't have that version though, so what point are you trying to make?
>>737939851>Who cares, it's the worst FROM gameThat is not true. Dark Souls 2 is objectively better when it comes to gameplay than both Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3.
>>737940151point is don't play this dogshit and play demon's souls and dark souls 1 instead
>>737940342I've played and replayed those games, when it comes to gameplay, they are inferior to Dark Souls 2.
>>737939851It's not even the worst post-DeS game, dipshit.
>>737940203Yeah really nice hitboxes right here
>>737940648Skill issue
>>737940648if it was ds3 that first sweep would had killed your guy
>>737939741It's not about graphics, it's about all the enemies that were added in
>>737940648Your webm shows perfect hitboxes and perfect game design. You stood behind his arm in bad position, he sweeps you off of the platform, skill issue.
>>737940916Vanilla encounter is superior, you attack one, all 3 aggro, it is fun, challenging and makes you think on the go.Shit of the First Scholar instead removes this, adds 8+ enemies lying on the ground, no challenge, no meaning, just boring worthless dogshit. You can kill them one by one as they are standing up, getting a free backstab.As I said, Shit of the First Scholar is casualized dumbed down garbage as a whole compared to the superior Original Dark Souls 2.
>>737940916>2 enemies + 1 archerwow so many enemies it's like a musou
>>737940960The Boss's arm passed through the player in the 2nd clip
>>737940203I noticed you not once tried to roll, because that's where most people's complaints come when talking about hitboxes.So you or some disingenuous fag made a webm that completely disregarded and pretended to not understand the complaints so you could strawman it.
>>737941246yeah rolling is for noobs and gets punished in ds2. whats the point you're trying to make here? just candid self own?
>>737940648God DS2 looks so fucking bad, even if you disregard the terrible lighting that everybody agrees is terrible, that boss design looks so generic and ass, the flame effects on his fire breath attack look like they came out of DOOM.
>>737941138Graphical jank doesn't matter, fundamental gameplay design is good and the player should be punished there.
Ok Vanillachad, give me a good nude mod for it cause all I can find is sotfshit
>>737941246>I noticed you not once tried to roll, because that's where most people's complaints come when talking about hitboxes.1. Dark Souls 2 is a well designed game, not a roll slop game, you have a lot of defensive options, including blocking, positioning, sprinting, you don't have to roll slop spam.2. Rolling in Dark Souls 2 has nothing to do with hitboxes, you can roll into attacks, getting hit by them and never take damage, what determines this is the i-frames, which are tied to AGILITY stat, which you can increase by leveling ADP.You really don't know what you are talking about, like the vast majority of Dark Souls 2 haters.>So you or some disingenuous fag made a webmI didn't make that webm, another anon did, my gameplay is even better than that.>that completely disregarded and pretended to not understand the complaints so you could strawman it.You don't know what you are talking about.
>>737941596>nude modGo back to Skyrim please.
>>737941682homo!
>>737941054>wow so many enemies it's like a musouMaybe try playing the game before huffing your own farts
>>737941754That footage is of Shit of the First Scholar.The player pulled enemies from previous zone.Typical mauler subhuman intellectualyl dishonest behavior.
SotFS is proof you cant polish a turd. The game is 1/3 finished, it needs more than just a light makeover.
>>737939741SotFS is so much better than vanilla.
>>737940203>Dark Souls 2 is objectively better when it comes to gameplay than both Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3.Holy fucking contrarianism. DS2 gameplay is rancid fucking shit.
>>737942262Filtered casual.
>>737939741Here's the thing: I don't care. SotFS is cheaper and more available in 2026. These changes arent bad enough to justify searching for the original. I'll play whichever version I can get (and that's sotfs)
>>737942262>Holy fucking contrarianismNot him but ds3 has a genuine dogshit gameplay that was fixed in ER, ds1 is alright but it suffers from retarded enemies that can be backstabbed to death, pic rel is proof enough
>>737941492>>737940203the animations are stiff and robotic tooit's like they made the enemies autistic and awkward, like they never leave their basements very few games are as shitty as ds2 if we ignore remakesit's just jank, awkward shit and bad design choices all the way down with no REDEEMing (inb4 saar) qualities literally what the fuck were they thinking
DS2 is garbage in any form
>>737942262the only rancid shit is 3, shit game from graphics, area encounters to bosses being shitty bloodborne knockoffsunfortunately it was the most popular game by then among normgroids
>>737942442Cope more you filtered casual.DaS2 is animations are good.
>>737942547Calling anyone a filtered casual kinda implies you think Ds2 is hard... It's not.
>>737942539The issue is enemies didn't punish roll spams and rolls didn't cost a lot of stamina, there are other elements like poise mechanics being removed completely but that's another story
You faggots sure are mad that your narrative is being unraveled and people are starting to like the game. Vanilla is worse in almost every way. I watched them being played side by side and vanilla has alot of stuff fixed. From shortcuts to things like the dull ember being in a reasonable place. Vanilla is more ganky most of the time
I liked Dark Souls 2, I'm about to replay it soon.
>>737942442Ds2 was too rushed, a lot of time areas don't feel connected, you go from a village filled with poison to a lava casatle in the sky, you can go from the hub to a small city underwater, the areas are just mashed in together
>>737940203No, it had PvP that was good and a long gap between it and DS3. That is all it had, then they made it worse with Scholar.
>>737942547I love it when my character suddenly pretends that they’re underwater for a sec when they swing a weapon
>>737943183>things like the dull ember being in a reasonable placeVanilla placement is better. It is immersive and makes sense to retrieve the Dull Ember from Iron Keep.Fuck off Shit of the First Scholar faggot.
>>737944338Look up what inertia is
>>737939741NTABut I like SotFS out of all the from slop gamesSorry if that offends you but it is my truth
Ds2 doesn't feel like it belongs with other souls games, many people even consider it to be non-canon
>>737944643Have you played Original Dark Souls 2?
>>737944704Yes but only the version without the patches/dlc so it was the pre-nerf version
>>737944687>many people even consider it to be non-canonfromsoft considers it canon, nobody cares what cattle that parrot essayists think
>>737944857What does it do that makes it consequential, ds3 doesn't even reference it
>>737945029>ds3 doesn't even reference itretard
>>737945279Real references retard, not an easter egg
