IVE GOT BOSS WEAPONS
how come ds3 and elden ring never got anything like this? curious...
>>738698363Magically disappointing after 1, yes
>>738698608youtube told you to say that btw
>>738698508They both did, thoughhttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0QrZvg7QIgpCbON63OPDLhEtNKBXvWPn&si=U0cJiJzi0wF_JMVIhttps://youtu.be/v4O9rMQ-TlU?si=rphbAdXNlZChZgbj
>>738698363>on releasestill is
>>738698667>le youtuber is always wrong>look at me I'm so quirky and brave with my unconventional opinionsSo you admit that contrarianism is the only reason you (pretend to) like DS2, and not the game being actually good?Oh, and ironically, the current meta on Youtube and Reddit is that DS2 is the greatest game that ever was, so (You)'re the REAL conformist
>>738699038youtube told you to say that too btw
>>738699141Yes, Mr. Beast told me personally to say that btw
DS2 is good even if its one of the weakest Souls games. Still better than 3
>>738699283no idea who that is, probably your favorite eceleb
>>738699359>"I'm so quirky, I have no idea what the normeis watch anymore"
>>738699532nta, but trying to talk about an eceleb that does nothing with stuff like dark souls doesn't help your case.
>>738699532call me the quirklord because I don't give a fuck about your normgroid internet celebrities
>>738699532I'm so quirky, I have no idea what the normeis watch anymore
im quirked tf up rn
>LIGHTNING!OOOOooooohh
>>738700143I'M SOOOOOORRYVERY GOOOOOD
>>738700147Nigga be capping ayo look at dis goofy ass on god tho fr.
>>738698667NTA but I beat both games and 1 was better than 2. I've actually re-played 1 several times, but never once revisited 2.
>>738703050youtube opinion
Actually 3 is better than 1 and 2. 1 and 2 are pretty equal but for different reasons.
>>738699038>Doesn't even try to deny he's an essay consooming farm animallmao kill yourself
>>738699850>>738700042>>738700142Every single one of you hipster-wannabe faggots know who he is
how's it FEEL Seath?To be a BIIIIIIITCH
>>738703671no one knows who your gay eceleb boyfriend is, fuck off
You can turn into a BOX? That's AMAZING
>>738703559>essay consooming farm animalMost vidya essayists nowadays are contrarians and thus LOVE DS2. You DS2 fags don't get it, you're the normies now.You like DS2? Well so does the average redditor, xitter tranny and youtube essayist post 2022.
We run and we EXPLODEimgonnablowup
Right down the road.
>>738703951youtube opinion btw
>>738704024How come you even know about youtube if your tastes are so niche and evolved?I thought such platforms were reserved for us unwashed goyim with conventional tastes?
>>738704139because you self report constantly
>>7386993573 was good, but the replay value was garbage. It felt way too linear. 3 was all over the place.
>>738704169Self report what? That I'm not a hipster? Ya, I own that completely
>>738698667There's more YouTube contrarians that say it's good. If you say anything negative about DS2, the fanbase will find your video even if it has 3 views and will critique anything you say, even if your commentary is just you saying you just don't like the feel of it.
>>738704309DS2 is a Reddit darling at this point, and those dump apes they're going against the grain by liking it.Also, the game is objectively shit.
>>738704448perhaps but i really enjoyed dark souls 2 despite everything, anyway, i'm going to ask you a question, what do you think about elden ring?
>>738698608yeah, it was such a downgrade from the trailers, specially the lightningstill had a blast
>>738704448>>738704309>>738704279dude yappin to himself
>>738704532You caught me.
>>738704527ER>BB=SEK>DS1=DS3>DeS>DS2>but ER has the same mechanics as DS2!!Except it doesn't have the same shit tier lore, bland enemy design, lack of environmental story-telling, lack of area cohesiveness, and clunkiness.Oh, and it executed every DS2 inspiredidea flawlessly, unlike DS2 itself.
>>738704532least delusional DS2 fag
>>738696626Ready?
BLOODFART!?
>>738704865is this guy still doing lets plays 20 years later?
>>738704929https://www.youtube.com/@GameGrumps/videos
BUDDY
>>738704740>lack of area cohesiveness
IS THISTOO EASYFOR YOU
>>738704982That is bleak. But I guess whatever pays the bills. Guess getting between 100-200k views still gives good money these days.
>>738705060What's that image even meant to prove?
His kormir video always gets me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxmkAoLC6_4
>>738704740Absolute dogshit taste. You put the worst game at the top, and the actual good ones at the bottomThe only reason I'm also not calling you a fag is because Sekiro is relatively high
I really want to like DS2, but I just don't. The entire Dark Souls series is like an undercooked pizza.>food analogyEach game has a lot of ingredients I like, but needed more time in the oven. DS2 had my favorite toppings, but was the most undercooked. Also, the pizzaria later served me a slightly less undercooked version of the same pizza, but with the cheese under the sauce for some reason.
>>738698791Those animations suck ass, I'm afraid.
>>738705440These games were a ton of fun when they came out because of how many people were playing at once. Theres a lot of systems in the background that exist for players to share stuff with each other, almost to an absurd degree. The cross world stuff was not a side feature, it was built into the entire game and its something you can't replicate without players. And whats sad is that almost all of this is absent in Elden Ring because in that game it really was just an afterthought, most likely because its what people expected in a soulsborne game.
>>738705979Yeah it was fun discussing these games when they were relatively fresh and not an entire genre in itself yet
>>738696626>>738703782Why didn't Dark Souls 3 get an iconic, quotable animation?
>>738707420>Defeat the first boss in dark souls 3>You now have the power of the lord vessel and can teleport to bonfires
>>738696626why did this guy stop doing animations
>>738707420It was soulless so it inspired nothing
>>738698667The irony is that a meme you saw on 4chan(nel) told you to say that.
>>738704740This but with opposite meme arrows
>>738707420DS3 got a great PvP community instead. If you know, you know.
>>738698492Right dow-BUH BYE
I'm glad DS2 apologists still exist, it's hard to be a DeS apologist and not look like the biggest retard of the bunch.
>>738707675Sane Ryan got me into invading.
>>738696626Is it weird that Happy Souls is what got me into souls games?
>>738707796You've never played DeS, nigger shut up.
DS2 is a bad game but it has the heart and soul of a great gameDS3 is a good game but with no soul a small withered heart
>>738707837Wrong.
>>738707816Same, although I started with DS1. Soul memory and farming cracked red eye orbs turned me off of invading in DS2; this before good Cheat Engine tables, and I remember the best way to cheat in orbs involved dropping items on the ground and using a trainer or something to turn them into orbs. I was among the filtered in DS3, but Saint un-filtered me.
>>738698363I dunno anon I played it 2 months ago after ignoring it for years and it still felt magical. Played all souls games except for ds1 funnily enough (yes I played bloodborne and demon's souls) and ds2 my favorite out of all of them, it feels like a sequel to demon's souls.
>Replay DS3>Kill Elfriede in two tries>Kill Demon Prince first try>Kill Midir first try>Kill Gael in two tries>Kill Soul of Cinder first tryIt's a little bit of a hollow feeling, because I remember spending a lot of time on Elfriede, Midir, and Gael. I had more trouble with Halflight than them this time around, fucking bizarre.
>>738698667Ds2 had some real dogshit "lol you're dead" enemy traps the first time you ran through, at least noticably more than ds1 did
>>738703418I don't watch Souls tubersSeethe btw
>>738698791awful go fuck yourself
People shit on DS2 but DS3 is by far the most soulless game in the franchise, ironic.
>>738707420Because 3 plays like a Greatest Hits collection so it falls short of actually being memorable on its own.
>>738698460Literally pops up in my head whenever I backstab an enemy in any game
>>738708167Dark souls 2 shortcomings aside, it’s not my favorite or close to it. However playing through the armored core games and king’s field. You come to realize that Dark Souls 2 is the last old fromsoftware game to be released. Where they just wanted to throw a bunch of shit at the wall, see what works, what doesnt, what is jank and just never attempt it again unless they felt an inkling to when the reason arises. The amount of shit that was dropped from AC1-Last Raven for mechanics, gameplay modes and so on makes your head spin and they’re usually just one and done stuff. So when people say Dark Souls 2 is their favorite, I don’t agree, but I can get where it comes from. Modern from is too polished and safe only experiments in increments to what they used to do between titles.
>>738709983In general, this applies to old AAA.Back then there was a lot of "throw and see what sticks" games.
where vidya videos this good or it was nostalgia compared today humor?
>>738708332Not at all. Dark Souls 2 was far more fair, DaS1 had easily the biggest amount of unfair bullshit in the series, and I say this as someone who likes it more than 2. Don't know what you're on about
>>738710836I've been wanting to go back and play them, to jot down all the "bad encounters" from both games. Its absurd that people make the claim that ds2 is nothing but ganks or that there werent any ganks in ds1, because its factually untrue. even more so, whatever fucking redditor made that remark about the souls games being made or built on 1v1 encounters. literally the very second encounter in demons souls is showing and telling the player how to swap lock-ons incase of multiple enemies. People complain about the swordsmen in Lost Bastille as if theyre ignoring the fact the same encounter exists in undead parish before the belfry gargoyles. a lot of cherry picking and "naunce" gets brought up. but I dont know if I can agree that theres more bullshit in ds1 than 2.
The original Dark Souls 2 was miles better than the Scholar of the First sin version and it's sad that they abandoned it and fucked the enemy placements, progression and balancing to pander to crybabies.
I’m playing Covenant of Champions for the first time and it’s neat though I’ll probably just save the gargoyle gank for when I have +10s.
