At this point thinking that DaS 2 is better than DaS should be bannable. It's not just having a really shit opinion, it's shitposting now. This is obvious what game is better than the other one, just do your job mods.
Nice try, fag. But we can tell you like Dark Souls 2 better than 1 and are falseflagging right now. Someone please ban OP.
SOTS > Bloodborne > Dark Souls > Demon's Souls
>>320628848
Not really bro.
I really wish they would shut off Dark Souls 1 servers.
Only glitcher Hacker and assholes left.

>His opnions should be banable.
No OP, you're the banannaapple.
>>320628932
pretty much
>>320629563
shut the fuck up
just use watchdog and blacklist the hackers so they never connect to you ever again
>>320628554
I replayed DaS 2 today actually.
And it is definitely a worse game than DaS 1.
Some gameplay elements are improved , but everything else feels like it has a lot less soul.
DaS might be a jankier game but the world is believeable.
DaS 2 feels like someone took DaS 1 put it in a blender and tried to fit it all together somehow.
Don't get me wrong, it is still fun. And a lot better than some other games. But compared to DaS 1 and Bloodborne (I played it for an hour or two)
it feels like a lot less effort went into it .
>>320628554
Dark Souls goes from a 9/10 to a 2/10 very fucking fast.
Dark Souls 2 is a solid 6/10 all the way through. SoFS 8/10.
cba working out which is numerically better. Probably 2
>>320634036
lmao so mad
>>320635430
>the world is believeable.
I liked the bit where you fight a level full of T-Rex asses.
Holy shit you're retarded.
>>320635430
Any complaints about DaS2's world being mixed up or nonsensical are invalidated by the fact that Drangleic is a dream realm.
I thought saying anything nice about DaS2 was a guaranteed 20 (you)s worth of saying how you are a shitposter cause DaS2 has no redeeming qualities on /v/?
>>320636117
People are starting to realise that Dark Souls has one good area and the rest is horse shit.
>>320635430
Oh yeah and before someone shitposts me for thinking BB is a god game.
I am a PCfat and have enough hours clocked in both games to make a informed critique
>>320635926
>Internal consistency =! real world logic
Of course skeleton husks of dragons are not real.
But in the story of DaS they do make sense.
An Elevator leading from a tower upwards through the sky into a lava mountain does not.
Or it is atleast missing a credible explaination
>>320628554
Anybody who thinks this series has improved on any front from Demon's Souls is a moron.
They just keep rehashing the same stale mechanics while the level design gets progressively worse.
>>320636531
>credible explaination
T-Rex ass explanation no headcanon pls
>>320636192
It's hard to tell with the Souls series since Bloodborne's audience will likely shit on it.
>>320636695
You know that those are dragon carcasses left over from the great War and the witches probably did experiments on them, and when the city fell they broke free.
There internal logic proofen
>>320636531
>=!
Holy fuck, anon...
>>320636861
You know that BB is taken as a Souls game? It has basically the same mechanics.
>>320636941
>no headcanon pls
>>320636531
It has a perfectly credible reason.
Drangleic isnt real life.
It doest have to follow the rules of reality.
Lordran is "real", but in DaS2 they show you entering a portal, and explicitly call it a dream realm.
You can call it lazy if you want, but it's still sensical.
>>320636941
>>320636531
It doesn't matter about Dragon's asses or whatever. That level is not only the worst in the entire soul's series, it's one of the worst in vidya (along with the rest of the second half of DaS)
>>320637037
I know, but technically it isn't.
I have played both. They're both fun. I think DaS2 has a few design mistakes, but not too many.
Personally, I like the art design in DaS2 more. The areas feel interesting and unique. And there are fewer dark and gloomy areas. I like that.
I don't see why its important which game is better when both games are fun and unique challenges (and better than a majority of games from this most recent generation).
>muh Dark Souls is good meme
>>320637008
Yeah I saw to late that I mixed it up by accident.
int i_myBad = 0
i_myBad ++
I think SotFS is a better gameplay experience than DaS, but DaS has a better overall experience.
DaS has the cohesive world, the mostly-sensical lore, and bosses I personally find more memorable. That said, I don't play DaS often for pvp but I do for SotFS.I am never going to get knight's honor.
>>320637159
As I said, DaS is janky as fuck. But it is a lot more charming than DaS 2
>>320628554
I enjoyed both games equally
Can't wait for DaS 3
Souls fans are really struggling to take the title of most bickering fanbase from fallout fans aren't they?
Good for me I'm not a fanboi of either, that way I can actually enjoy the games
>>320637845
agreed
>>320628554
This might be because I am retarded.
As a first play through, DS1 is more enjoyable.
But I actually enjoy replaying DS2 more.

Are dark souls fans really this autistic, we had this thread last night, like really is this just a meme or are you guys really this autistic? Like why are you fucking retards this buttblasted? [Spoiler]Das II > Das [/spoiler]
>>320638176
Build variety for sure, but raise shield and circle strafe? You sure that's not Dark Souls 2? Because that is totally Dark Souls 2.

See the pattern here?
>>320638367
I got bored after Sen's Fortress and just played through DeS again.
There really is only one relevant detail when comparing DaS to DaS2, and it's which game has objectively better combat mechanics.
DaS wins outright. The hitboxes in DaS2 are far less intuitive. The charm of DaS is that you could understand immediately why things were kicking the shit out of you as a new player; you knew you fucked up well before dying because your mistake was very well telegraphed on screen. So by the end of the game, you were as a God, smacking your dick into enemies to destroy them because you had mastered the timing of your attacks and dodges.
In DaS2, the same type of competency was possible, but it wasn't very apparent when player fuck ups occurred because it used incredibly strange hitboxes and hit detection. The variable invincibility frames on dodge rolling is the best example of this disconnect between what the player is doing and what the game interprets. It's just not as good of a battle system.
None of this matters though, DaS3 takes the best of both games' battle mechanics and finds not a happy medium, but a better battle system overall that highlights the best points from both games.
>>320638058
Artorias of the Abyss is a trash DLC.
>completely straight line
>No worthwhile secrets
>have to kill every NPC to get their armor set
>ends without any actual resolution
>bosses now being able to flip around like Tekken characters makes them better
>DeS>DaS>BB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DaS2
>>320638636
I can agree with this. If DaS3 has the same combat mechanics as DaS and if it is as consisently good as DaS2 then we all win.
What is the worst area in Dark Souls 1 or 2? My bet is on No Man's Wharf in SotFS.
>enemies popping up out of nowhere
>archers everywhere
>cramped spaces
>can't see shit
>no shortcut until the very end of the level
>boring enemy design (Vikings, hollows, monkey men, and dogs wooooow)
>>320638223
>duke's archives looked great aesthetically
>tomb of the giants was a fun, atmospheric area that introduced the light mechanic, granted it was never used again
>New Londo ruins introduced the Darkwraiths, and the Four Kings, even though they were DPS as fuck, it was still a pretty cool fight
>Lost Izalith is by far the best designed and best looking area in the game :^)
>the Kiln is the absolute mist beautiful, and most atmospheric area in DaS right next to Ash Lake
You wrong, nigga.
>>320638835

>ceaseless discharge worst boss of all time

DaS has a whole load of areas that are either pointless or just plain dogshit.

Jesus Christ can you be anymore delusional?
>>320639386
Most of the areas did look beautiful. The only ones that come to mind that didn't are Lost Izalith and Tomb of the Giants.
>>320639386
It depends what you used to play DaS.
On PC, with HD texture packs, it's looks just as good as DaS2.
>>320638620
Nice attempt at spoiler tagging, newfriend.
But yes, Souls fans are autistic.

Scholar of the First Sin is all kinds of awesome. I should start a new character tonight actually.
>>320641109
Let's talk builds, anon, what are you going for? Babby dex nigger, or cool guy strength man?
>>320628554
I think that souls games are incredibly overrated. Some aspects are great but thinking that they are anything close to the greatest games ever is fucking retarded.
They are solid at best.
Let's just say instead of Arguing of which souls game has the biggest dick, we just say there all great games. I find it funny its Like These are all like between 8-10 games. Like personally I like Dark 1 more than 2 even though 2 has better Mechanics but like it can't be argued that Dark 2 is better than 90 % of the games that come out now a days. Were arguing about perfect games asking which one is more perfect.
>>320641586
>overrated
>>>/reddit/
>>320641109
No it isn't, is just shit, slightly better than the vanilla version but still horseshit.
>>320641690
The thing is DaS2 sticks out like a sore thumb, that's why it gets so much heat. While it was still one of the best games released that year, the level of quality when compared to the other games of it's own series is shaky at best, ill thought out and misguided at worst.
>>320641543
Thinking about a paladin. Faith/Strength. Probably a greathammer, heavy armor, tower shield kinda stuff. Never really fucked with miracles in any of the games.
>>320638176
yea man that build variety sure made doing nothing but kiting big groups enemies and getting an attack in every once and a while fun
>>320642195
They aren't super great anymore. at launch they were awesome, then, the nerf happened. The number of casts was cut by half and damage was nerfed as well. If you're looking for variety, it's fine, but the usefulness of miracle builds isn't nearly what it used to be.
pvp is bit more polished in DaS2
>>320628554
It's like the Battle Network 4 of the series.
>>320635430
This
Why do people defend DaS II? You spend 90% of the game fighting small dudes in armour accompanied by big dudes in armour in ruined castles. The game has very little variety.
>>320638223
Anon, I'm sure they're all finished. Just...not that good. Or, maybe, Anor Londo was TOO good.
>>320643753
It's justified by the Dragonslayer being in the game, and I don't mean fucking Ornstein.
>>320643753
Anon, no one is defending Dark Souls 2. People are defending PARTS of Dark Souls 2. But the whole thing? No.
>>320643849
just watching this makes my hands sweat
wtf man
Honestly both games have good and crap points. Not saying one is better than the other. but you have to see both have faults. Dark souls 1 is 75% of a game. Dark souls 2 has shit world cohesion and the linked areas sometimes make zero sense. Dark souls 1 was just backstab fishing for PvP. dark souls 2 lacks boss variety in terms of beast bosses its all a bunch of knights.
Yet both games are fun as shit and have a bunch of positive factors as well.
>>320636026
Thats new.
>>320636026
Nigga, you thinking of Bloodborne or something?
>>320638143
I like catacombs, and if we're talking logical progression new londo ruins is also after anor londo. Painted world too
DS2 is the most uninspired rehashed sequel ever released, it adds nothing to the Souls franchise.
>>320646129
We know.
>>320646129
No, it adds really deep, well written lore and if you don't agree, well, you're probably playing the game wrong.
>>320638835
I like no man's wharf desu, one of the game's better areas
>>320638835
>having a problem with vikings
You wanna fight, faggot?
>>320646817
DS1 already did all of that. DS2 is a sequel you shouldn't just be happy with the same tired mechanics done arguably worse.
>>320647559
No, you're just playing the game wrong.
>>320641109
>Looks slightly better
