Why is it so controversial when it's clearly the best game in the series?
>>741655952do you ever get tired of making the same dark souls 2 bait threads?
It plays and looks worse than 1 but the locations, enemy/boss designs, and lore (being proto elden ring) are kino
>>741656097>It plays and looks worse than 1This is false.
>>741655952>the best game in the series?This except genuinely unironically.
It has the best DLCs in the series, and the most too.It has by far the best NG+ of any souls era From gameSimply adventurous kino!
>>741656368either you're baiting or retarded DS2 is really floaty and the lighting is overly bright
>>741656565Unlike (you) i played the games.DS1 is shit. DS3 is shit. DS2 is the best.>either you're baiting or retardedIronic.
>>741655952One of the youtube guys shilling DS1 in the west expected FromSoft to give him preferencial treatment when DS2 came out. FromSoft didn't give a fuck about him so he got mad and started smearing it
>>741657458Who are you talking about?
I like the world design in 2 mechanically the most
>>741657458Don't forget the retards who run past 20+ enemies and call it the games fault when they die.
>>741655952it's good. great, even. All of the hate comes from low testosterone and low iq content farmers online. >bro, it's so bad... you can't just roll through everything. What do you mean me rolling into a giant hunk of metal swinging at me is going to hurt? It's called an i-frame, bro
>>741658690It really does feel like that.
>>741655952completely superceded by elden ring in making the casuals seethe endlessly
>>741655952ds2 has best invasions.for all else: DeS > DS1 > DS2
>>741660928i never get invaded because i never play unhollowed
>>741655952If it was clearly the best it wouldn’t be controversial.
>>741661560Success brings controversy.
>>741660928this
>>741655952Troons got angry and accused the game of taking their precious customization away because they had to put some filler points into a single stat.
>>741659750>The terminally online retards who have been crying about 10+ year old youtube videos non-stop are actually le chadsGood one
I'm convinced nobody actually thinks dark souls 2 is the best anything, it's just pointless bait threads designed to piss people off, like saying devil may cry 2 is the best or something, nobody actually thinks it
>>741663287adp was a good stat.
Scholar of the First Sin if the greatest RPG Fromsoft has ever made. Even the haters have to admit this.
>>741659750Why not use a real picture of a Dark Souls 2 fan as well?
>>741655952
>>741663297>The terminally online retards who have been crying about 10+ year old game non-stop are actually not trannies
>>741663471correct. most rpg of the series
>you get punished for roll spamming>stamina regen penalty when you stamina reaches zero>roll distance is affected by the load you carry>swing direction is affected depending on where you hold the stick>all of these forces you to be tactical and conservative with your rolls and attacksI dunno, man. That's pretty KINO comf if you ask me.
>>741663598Saved and DS2 is pure kino.
>>741663513The "haters" are only still talking about it in response to the retards continuously seething about how people don't like their favorite game. Everyone else has moved on and doesn't give a fuck anymore.
>dark souls 2 criticism>look inside>"its too hard"
>>741663795>10 years of lies>fans fight back once>wave of response videos calling the game trashWhich side is really mentally ill? Hint: the haters.
>>741663504Quite literally, the only actual flaw of the game.
>dark souls 1 is bad coz its too hard!>git gudLOL SO TRUE SIS >dark souls 2 is bad coz its too hard!>git gudERM... UHM.... BUT... BUTBUTBUTWHATABOUT IRON KEEP??? THE GEOGRAPHY MAKES NO SENSE!! MATHEWMATOSIS SAID SO
>>741655952>>741655952It was the last game before we entered the spastic, wacky inflatable arm man bosses.
>>741663992>"b-but.... you're the mentally ill ones! The evil youtubers made people not like my game so you need to watch the hour long response videos made by the good youtubers I like who are totally different. You didn't like my FUCKING NUMBER 1 GAME and everyone NEEDS to agree with me NOW and if you don't like it you're a LIAR"
>>741661237Invasions are not tied to hollowing in DS2.
>>741655952Because you faggots cannot accept, or are possibly too low IQ, to understand that just because you enjoy it the most doesn't mean it is the best. No, it's not subjective. No, it doesn't matter that your fragile ego needs validation. The game is not the best. It will never be the best. That is ok. You are allowed to have your favorite game be a mid game. There is nothing wrong with that and it doesn't make you a bad person.But what makes you an insufferable twat is that you can't accept that what you like isn't the best, and you have to be disingenuous and lie about what the game is actually like to fool people who will never play it but will just accept what you say and agree, "You are right, clearly it is the best." Well, too fucking bad. Too many of us did play it. We do know what it is like. We know you are lying or, at the very least, being very deceptive in how you discuss the mechanics, level design, boss design, etc, and that the game isn't the best. It will never be the best. And no matter how much you cream your panties because you like it so much will change that it is not and will never be the best.
>>741664465I pirated ds2 so I don't know how the multiplayer mechanics work
>>741664504okay big dick -- state the best.
>>741664262You sound mad bro
>>741656097i thought it played better than ds1 because there were more optionspersonally i don't care about minor details, ds2 had more variety without much loss in any other way so to me it was better
>>741664684I am incredibly calm!
Even if we agree ds2 is the worst in the series, its still an s tier game in the realm of gaming as a whole so why do we have these arguments daily?
average matthewtransmosis video>villages tend to generate with farms including wheat, melons, pumpkins, and carrots, providing the villagers with a source of food. however due to oddities in structure generation, there are often more villagers than logistically feasible of keeping fed, often with farms generating multiple blocks off the ground disallowing conventional access to the crops. this ends up breaking immersion as there would be no way for the villagers to adequately fulfill their biological needs, and yet at no point will you ever experience a villager dying from a caloric deficit. this is why minecraft is a fundamentally flawed game, and you should instead play limbo, the superior game about stacking blocks on top of other blocks, which does not require you to suspend your disbelief as much3jeets actually consider this guy to be their god btw
>>741665156Filtered.
>>741665156youtube essayists are faggots.
>>741658583Wrong opinion.The game's environments are only connected in the most basic sense. The distances between the locations is exaggerated, while even though DS1 uses LoD's to save console/PC resources, their location is quite close to where the "real" assets should be if you were to load all of Lordran at once.>>741663504Probably the biggest flaw with DS2. It's a pretty fundamental one; and you can ignore bad graphics and shoddy, unbelievable world design if the game is fun enough. This is fundamental to the gameplay. You can't ignore it.>>741663789What was their fucking problem?
>>741655952because a bunch of sweats who spent 1000s of hours mastering frame-perfect parries in Dark Souls expected the sequel to have the exact same weapons, animations, attack timings, stat requirements, magic system, scaling and leveling while also being totally different and new with never-before-seen locations, enemies and story elements and when it wasn't they sperged out and review-bombed itthis is also why every subsequent souls game aside from the thematically-distinct ones like Sekiro and Bloodborne has been rehashed slop-fests that literally reuse the exact same animations and enemies from Dark Souls to cater to autistic Vaati-watching sperglords
>>741665156It's (usually) all the same with these retards who make videos that are hours long.>Fill word count>sound like you know what you're talking about >say it in an accent>10000000+ views from retards/people who want background noise
>>741665837niggas who make a game their identity need to be sent to the cobalt mines.
>>741665601>What was their fucking problem?Not enough dick.Made em' go crazy.
>>741655952>iframes tied to a skill>lose half your health when you dieinstantly uninstalled.
>>741666151>iframes tied to a skillA rpg mechanic in a rpg?>lose half your health when you dieA % of health. if you want to lose half then go to ds3.
>>741666151youre reciting some youtubers opinion.
>>741664667It's right there in the image.>>741663504Why does it seem like the only "defense" DS2 fans have for the shitty controls are "I didn't notice". You didn't notice the character not going in the direction you pressed? How?
>>741666482>You didn't notice the character not going in the direction you pressed? How?Mental retardation or pretending it doesn't exist.
>>741665601>Probably the biggest flaw with DS2. It's a pretty fundamental one; and you can ignore bad graphics and shoddy, unbelievable world design if the game is fun enough. This is fundamental to the gameplay. You can't ignore it.Nigga, you're typing this on a PC, use your brain.
>>741666909People play souls games on keyboard?I do not believe that.
>>741666151you don't even need iframes to beat ds2 you babbygod forbid raising attributes actually do something>>741666482it doesn't happen if you act like a normal human, that's whymaking a mountain out of a molehill desu but that's normal for nitpicking spergs like yourself
>>741667062and some people eat soup with forks.stupid is as stupid does bubba
DS2 should've put traps in every treasure chest, and required ADP and DEX to disarm them.
>>741667778you are a true son of miyazaki
>>741666339>>741666397>>741667397cope
>>741669386
i just finished my first run of ds1 :)
>game sucks>but what if I make a thread where I call le game... le good?
Imma play the fuck out of that seamless coop mod. Assuming "Soon" means this year.
>>741669872good lad
The thing is that DS2 (original) is the best one and SOTFS is the second or third worst one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bctX-D-3wvs
>>741670450on to ds2 now :)
>>741670545Stop lying.
>This is a fun boss, I would like to coop this boss>Does it once>Does it twice>Does it three times>No signs>No summons>Fuck you no more boss for youAll of this because of PvP fags btw. This is why 3 and Elden Ring were so good, PvP was ignored.
>>741671712>what is agape ringAlso invasions peaked in DS3/ER. Shame about the insane stamina/rollspam. Curb stomping random retard solo hosts isn't very fun after like 5 invasions.
>>741657458I wish my imagination was this vivid.
>>741671391
>>741655952I played and loved DS1and really enjoyed it. But I tried DS2 after my friend let me borrow it (I had a 360). I remember things looked weird to me, something about the lighting, and the movement felt the same. But I continued on to the second or third boss. At some point I learned that there was a stat that directly effected how many I-frames you get during a dodge roll and dropped it because thats so fucking gay. I also don't like the retcons to DS1's story in 2 and 3.Pic unrelated.
Newfags can't beat DS2SOTFS, so they poo-poo it. Normally they only poo-poo games they can't run, but early souls games are low spec.
>>741655952The bad lightning fucks it. The early areas look so dull compared to the early areas in DS1.Anyways, I can't play it anymore on my new PC because it needs some frameworks or whatever that Windows refuses to install for some reason.
>>741656047>>741655952Um it's the daily "Dark Souls 2 is good" affirmation thread. This thread is literally saving lives by being up 24/7. If there isn't someone telling a Dark Souls 2 fan "you are valid. Dark Souls 2 is good" then they are liable to kill themselves.
>>741667062I beat DS1 eleven times over on a keyboard as teenager in 2013
>>741664213?Dark Souls 2 is the easiest game in the series though. You can buy 99999999999 Life Gems right at the start and be effectively immortal and the basic starting rapier and mace stunlock and kill everything in the game in like 10 hits. Even bosses.
>>741679103and yet there's not one webm of anyone being immortal using life gems
>>741679435
>>741679435>This game is hard! See, here's DSP being bad at itLOL. Do Dark Souls 2 sissies really? His death count is even higher at a similar point in the game in the 3 webm.And hey, there's nothing wrong with a game being a more casual, relaxing stroll where you can buy 99 life gems and easy breezey breeze through everything
>>741679549What the fuck are you doing?Dark Souls 2 fans are incredibly delicate. Not only do they have to be told their game is good, they have to be told it's actually secretly the hardest and most elite one. They WILL kill themselves if these delusions are challenged. Be more careful.
>>741655952DS2 is a pile of fucking shit. So is DS3. So is Bloodborne. So is Elden Ring. Pretty much zero of the magic that made DS1 a great dungeon crawler/RPG found its way into any of the sequels or pseudo sequels.
>>741679549>DSP spamming healing is evidence 3 is harder because DSP is badAmazing youtube level analysis
>>741679641>>741679802You're right dude. Dark Souls 2 is hard and you are valid o algo.The EVIL Youtubers can't hurt you here in your safe space.
>>741655952Still the the hardest Souls fit, fr fr no skibidi
why do contrarians think they're smarter just because they like objectively bad things?
>>741679765>magicdoesn't mean anything. More make believe feels bullshit
DS2 is shit lmao.DS2fags: coping and seething for over a decade with no signs of slowing down. How much longer can they persist, I wonder?
>>741680156Your webm collection does not make you seem like a deeply pathetic and sad individual. If you post the same webm you've posted 2000 times another 12 times, all the haters will be forever BTFO and everyone will realize how valid Dark Souls 2 is.
>>741680156Yes, now show me the melee options for your character by that point in the game and how effective your armor and your body reacts with different sets on like in DS1.
>>741680751show me a ds1 webm of the game ever being good
>>741680863So you crumble when actual mechanics are brought up. Seeing how DS1 is the only game with mechanics worth a shit, that's not surprising. Also, I like how your video there uses one of only two areas in DS2 that had finished lighting and texture assets. Something missing from every other area of the game.
>>741679894FR FR
>>741680993>he cant do it
You’re all wrong. It filtered the trannies and poseurs who use guides to rush from boss to boss and it’s not by accident. The whole game was deliberately designed to filter them. Problem, gaijin?
>>741657458wasnt the original release fucked up though i only played scholar
>>741656461>best ng+No. If ng+ in a game is anything but "literally exactly the same as before but harder", it's shit.>b-but random new enemies!>b-but random item placements!Slop.
>>741656047This is /v/'s punishment for >Jerking off Matt Mattosis because he autism sperged their hysteria into a video over DaS II.>Creating the worst console war shitshow in /v/ history with bloodborne that has pretty much made Fromsoft a perpetual target for Tortanic posting.
>>741663417>makes you drink estus faster>gives you iframesit's the shitter stat. retards waste points in adp when they could put those levels in vitality and strength so they can use better shields. or they could use the souls spent on leveling adp to buy 50 life stones.
>>741681874I think you should fuck off back to Re-ddit faggot. Where you belong.
>>741681874>It filtered the trannies and poseursIt really did.
>>741682254What the fuck did you just say to me? I’m quite comfortable owning your ass on 4trans. I think you need to go back to your Elden Ring seemless co-op hugbox with your tranny polycule you repulsive pussy bitch faggot cocksucker!!!
>>741664929No. DS2 is not just a bad Dark Souls game, it is simply a bad game.
>>741682461Elden Ring is fucking shit, too.
>>741679765You're a dumbass nigger thats going to get raped to death
>>741655952DSIV is better.
What's with the pseudo intellectuals who hate this game using the word "fundamentally" pretty much every time they talk about it?
