This is the best game ever made. The only thing that comes close is Demon's Souls.

Why did you put DaS2 so low? Now a bunch of retards are going to sperg uncontrollably, fuxing hell man

It's not my opinion, it's a fact. DaS2 is worse than dog shit. I am also absolutely certain that DaS2 "enjoyers" are nothing more than bots or epic trolls, so their posts bear no weight

Someone just fucking hack FromSoft already and leak the source code.

Unfortunately, From knows that too and this ancient-ass game never gets a worthwhile discount anywhere

You saved yourself from the worst parts of the game don't worry. Pretty much everything after Anor Londo is dogshit, especially Tomb of the Giants and Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith.

I played DaS2 back in the day when it first released and it's something what I don't remember that well. I do remember grinding some areas and some parts.
I installed the game last night along with the lighting mod and while it looks pretty it plays like dogshit. I have killed two bosses now. Armor doesn't matter, shields don't matter.. Seems like the best way to do something is to be completely naked or something. Levels are dogshit and you'll get rushed all the time etc.
I don't remember if I ever finished that game, I think I just quit.

or you can just get a ps4 and not be a fucking retard

>>738114065
I mean I have spent lots of souls already but I can't see any difference.
I also remember something about 'poise' being the best atttribute for combat but it gets soft locked at skill level 9 or something.
I don't like to read spoilers.
>>
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 are both much better games than DaS1
>>
>>738113419
This is the closest one, in fact I switched them just right before posting. In the end I think sheer scope of ER and memorability of locations is what pushes it over for me.

For me it was playing through it ~3 times when it launched, getting all the achievements

Each playthrough was more like looking for something worthwhile in the game, finding less and less.

Finally I dropped it forever on one of the DLC's, I think it was some invisible tiger boss

Okay, so this is a lot harder when I got no torch early on from it running out so fast.

I agree that DaS2 is the "hardest" of the bunch (though I don't believe any boss raped me harder than Orphan in BB), but it's for completely wrong reasons. Shit level design, gank squads, le gotcha traps, rolling tied to adaptability

It leaned into "omg these games are so harrrrd" (the reddit and nu-/v/ perspective of the games) as the only value aspect, instead of focusing on making an actual good game.

yeah, I beat the game :)

I would rather play a final fantasy game, more fun.

hardly relevant when Havel's Armor exists

DaS added so much shit to make the game easier throughout the patches. Purge stone sales, massively increased soul gain etc

It's incredibly easy

I replay Dark Souls 1 and Sekiro every year which make them the best. The others I never go back to.

>>738112240
Yep and I have played through both tons of times. At least over 50 playthroughs of Dark Souls. And that doesn't even count all the online invasions/co-op/pvp I did.

where did this meme of ds2 being hard come from? Half the bosses have barely any health and die in 2 seconds.

>>738113795
>hardest game last
It's the game most generous with leveling, has infinite heals, and every enemey is slow as ass since they are designed to be beaten even with low ADP/AGI (and if you believe "muh positional combat" then it also means they are incredibly easy to dodge since you don't need a get out of free roll)

It's not because the bosses or enemies are challenging, it is because it plays like complete dogshit. People talk about the roll i-frames and ADP, but really ADP also speeds up item usage and estus drinking too, so without ADP your character just feels like the average /v/irgin being asked to do physical exertion for more than 30 seconds. The game controls also have massive square dead zones, and it snaps to 1 of the 8 cardinal directions once you push past the dead zone, which makes the control feel like shit compared to DeS's and DS's smooth continuous 360° movement. The sliding scale of roll distance to weight also makes the character feel unnaturally cumbersome, as the animation speed stays constant but the distance gets longer or shorter depending on how high your equipment burden is, and it creates a visual mismatch of speed to distance.

Now add in what appear like mandatory ganks (DS2 is the only game with some enemies tethered together like it is WOW where pulling 1 will absolutely pull the others tethered to it, so you cannot separate enemies), some of the most retarded run backs of any From Souls game or soulsclone, the most useless short cuts in any entry, and that many enemies will not leash back to their spawn making it more efficient to tediously cut them down instead of running past them, and it becomes a design that is "hard" not because it is actually mechanically challenging, but because it is mechaniocally dogshit that the player has to put up with.
>>
>>738112240
I replayed it in February. It's a really, really good game and does the whole isolated adventure thing better than any shitty walking sim indie game, but it is somehow more janky than DeS despite being a spiritual sequel.
