Dark souls 2 was the last proper souls game

Everything since bloodborne has been

fast paced

visual design at the detriment of level design

focus shifting from exploration to being a boss rush game

shame it fucking sucked then lmao

Dark souls 2 is fan fiction, a side project. You people gotta accept it.

The real Souls trilogy is Demons -> Dark -> 2.

And it’s perfect.

It doesn't matter how many times you say it.
Dark Souls II will always suck

The real Souls trilogy is ds3 -> ds3AoA -> ds3TRC

And it's perfect

>fast paced

true

>visual design at the detriment of level design

fanciful worded bullshit, the interconnectedness was a decision exclusive to the world design of DS1 but as games of journey that push outward, the level design of areas in the rest are still great

>focus shifting from exploration to being a boss rush game

in order for this to be true there would need to be a reduction of exploration quality in exchange for boss presence which is absolutely untrue. bosses are now a bigger deal than theyve ever been sure, bt not at the expense of the journey

Dark souls 2 was the last proper souls game

Not only that but it is also the best souls game.

I can't decide who is more insufferable Dark Souls 2 trannies or Dark Souls 3 children.

The Dark Souls 1 schizos

I can't remember the last time I saw a DS3 fan start a thread but we have daily "DS2 is actually the best one guys" threads

Difference is that Bloodborne was a nice niche passion project meanwhile the Dark Souls sequels were pure cash cows and soulless imitations.

3fags are still kids lmao.

definitely the ds2 trannies, because ds3 children do not exist on Anon Babble

You have a point, except all the later games have great level design, better than DS2 in many places.

I mean this retard casual fanbase got filtered by enemy placement of all things. The honest way of making a game challenging, not fighting dudes with hypertracking who take 10 minutes to die and kill you in one hit.

enemy placement

its not hard nor fun its just tedious and gay

i finished that game, its dogshit

Best pvp in the series. Best stamina management. Wish it was polished more.

Anyone can beat a game if you bash your head against it enough times. Even Mauler and friends. Doesn't mean you didn't get filtered. But you know, this retard adhd fanbase calls the game having enemies in the level and doing things "tedious." Maybe they should just stick to Dear Esther and Barbie Horse Adventure instead.

That's true, but it was still a massive downgrade from DS1. I rather have something different that's good, rather than the same but bad.

tedious

that describes ds2 enemy placement the best. imagine the elden ring catacomb imp placements, but for the entire fucking game.

I think Dark Souls 2 is the best because the NPCs have dignified quests and happy endings, in 1 and Bloodborne almost everyone just dies or goes insane, the little girl questline in Bloodborne is particularly awful and makes me feel sick, it really feels like the game is mean spirited and Miyazaki is a perverse person, he had no involvement in 2 so that also explains it

Here's a game you might like bro. You don't have to worry about nothing that might get in the way of epic zanzibart lore.

not him, but DS2 had bad enemy placement before some youtubers reviewed it, anon. In fact, it was so utter dogshit, they redid it all and released it again.

i-it just does and here's my objective analysis to prove it

Thanks for reminding me that DS2 lore was so bad, they had to patch in an NPC trying to explain it. Laughable.

Why are you ignoring what I said instead keep sperging out about some youtube vid?

Sad but true.

its a shit game and everyone besides deranged trannies agrees on it
youtu.be/JPy6qJkE1x4?t=93

Because what you say doesn't mean anything. It's just filtered youtube speak.

Dark Souls 2 is putrid garbage. It lost goty to Dragon Age Inquisition of all games. Imagine being such a game to lose to a buggy tranny rpg.

Sekiro is just as bad. All Fromsoft games dating back to King's Field do this.

Wow, what I say. This retard casual fanbase got filtered by enemy placements. That's why now the games are nothing but hitting the roll button at the right time against some spergloard in wide open space who zanzibarts you

ds2 was the last attempt at making a real action RPG by fromturdware. after it they regressed to milking the casualized version of the formula.

leave our lad Lenny out of this awful thread

again with youtube

Did you know that paranoia is a form of schizophrenia? What I'm saying is an opinion I formed from playing DS2, and not watching your retarded e-celebs.
I'm sorry that you get offended from people pointing out DS2's flaws, but shouting "youtube!" every time someone does is not exactly helping your points.

Because actually using your brain like an adventurer to overcome challenging situations doesn't pander to this retard roll again and again...and again and again fanbase

yes, DS2 enemy placement was so good, they had to redo the entire game because people liked it so much. for some reason.

"Boss rush game" describes what I feel towards elden ring, actually. Everything else in the game is for the purposes of collecting shit you want and nothing else since exploring has no real rewards other than mushrooms and a level 1 weapon upgrade shard. I practically rushed the DLC because I just wanted it to end halfway through.

there are like fifty other problems some of critical ones are explained in this video you niggers never refute and just make strawman again.

You dont have "flaws". You have opinions and then just point to a youtube video like clockwork.

challenging situations

once you "solve" an encounter, but die at the next encounter for whatever reason, you will have to "solve" that encounter again. and if you keep dying at a bossfight, which is pretty normal in souls games, you get to "solve" those encounters over and over again.
and this is the reason why DS2 enemy placement is seen as tedious.

I never pointed to a youtube video, that was all you, schizo-kund. Enemy placement in DS2 was extremely bad, and it lead to SotFS, where from tried to some of it.
In the end tho, all you got Elden Ring catacomb imps design for an entire game. That is my point, and none of your e-celebs influenced me into forming this viewpoint.

Wow, and I thought that was just good game design. But this retard baby fanbase is so soft that dying and just learning the game is somehow "tedious." Maybe play Call of Duty.

where from tried to *fix some of it.

Wow, and I thought that was just good game design

Well, I don't know what to tell you, expect that you thought wrong.

based

And you have zero argument as to why because every souls game before 3 did that.

I still preferred Dark Souls 3 and every other game that came afterwards.

They hated him because he spoke the truth
I hope they go back to old souls design and make them primarily dungeon crawlers with thematic but simple bossfights again

You must be 18 years or older to post here.

Okay.

wow oh mai god duh enemy placement like i-icant even it's so tedious...going back to Spider Man Miles Morales now

I don't get the appeal of 2 at all. It's more of the same thing but with worse builds and world. None of the shit was improved over anything that the first two souls did. It was just over hyped and shill back in the day until everyone forgot that it exists.

first boss is called the last giant

you meet like 4 or 5 other giants later in the game

false. the first version was ok as is. Scholar of the First Shit turned DS2 into a real annoying shitfest.

multiplayer was upfront instead some cryptic feature like in the first

Skyrim is the best soulsbornkerio ring-like
