Promises were broken. Half of the development time amounted to the progress made towards the completion game basically going back to square one because Fromsoft is a good company. B-team tried their best to salvage what they could with only half of the development time life, resulting in the weirdly linear and somewhat un-connected world that exists in the final version of the game.

And adaptability, that too.

The devs had to cut back on the promised graphics because consoles were too shitty to keep up performance, resulting in the shitty lighting and broken promises, leaving many anons to get pissy about it and toss a hissy fit. Also, soul memory matchmaking was a shitty idea, didn't keep minmaxing out and kept newcomers from co-opping properly because they can't into google search.


Game was still really good tho, although Dark Souls 2 was a hell of a lot different from DaS 1. What I liked more in Dark Souls 2 was the improved multiplayer connectivity, powerstancing, various armour sets and weapons, the weapon class "lance", Fume Knight, a fuck ton of new and improved spells in every category, fist weapons becoming more varied and fun and a bunch of other interesting weaponry that made PvP a whole lot more enjoyable for me.

The PvE aspect was alright, but it was hella tame in comparison to Dark Souls 1, although the DLCs brought alone some of my favorite areas.

The bad thing about 2 is, they misunderstood why DeS and DaS (1) were hard. Those games were hard because you had to get good at them, because you the player were as vulnerable as the trash mobs. What you have but they don't is the ability to learn from your mistakes, and when you do the game is open to you. The enemies have annoying attack patterns that need to be learned and anticipated, but they are basically survivable if you've got your wits about you. Dark Souls 2 took the true fact "lots of people died and enjoyed it" to show they should deliver an experience that kills players. Completely wrong. What was enjoyable about 1 was it rewarded you for adapting and learning techniques. Instead 2 makes an environment where you can and will die all the time unless you are flawless against a series of cheap enemies who are mostly hard because of the stupid pack sizes they appear in and the incredibly tight windows of opportunity. This promotes people being cheap and packing high stability shields/fast roll or outright just abusing game mechanics, which isn't interesting.

I disagree with your opinion.

Mostly because there are bigger pack sizes in Dark Souls 1, the ones that do appear in Dark Souls 2 are either hilariously easy to beat with a wide slash, which most weapons have, and the fact that both games rely on people " being cheap and packing high stability shields/fast roll or outright just abusing game mechanics".

I think you may have experienced the vast difference in the way the that Dark Souls 2 and 1 differs gameplay wise, but that's just a thought, maybe you're right and I'm wrong. But one thing is certain, I do not feel the same way you do about this matter.

fuck I botched that a bit, but yeah. Case example would be Iron Keep. You can pull enemies if you tread carefully, and for those instances where you have to fight enemies with an archer on you, you can either station yourself so that you're behind a piller, under the bridge, etc. or you can take the archers out with a bow.

That's always been the case, ever since Demon's Souls. If you don't enjoy dying and learning from your mistakes and adapting, you don't enjoy Souls. Let me guess, you got into the series with Dark Souls PC and steamrolled the game with a walkthrough and the wiki open on your second monitor? Because that's not Souls.

I just started playing it recently in preparation for dark souls 3 and while I don't hate the game, it definitely feels very lackluster in comparison to the first game. My biggest gripe with it though, has to be that cutscene with the fire keepers at the beginning of the game. One of them says something along the lines of "You'll keep losing all of your souls, again and again." Then they all laugh at your player. It's like the team thought "Hey, this game is gonna be hard. You guys like how hard these games are right?" Just felt like they completely missed why people play these games.

This is common behavior of children with severe, debilitating autism except even they don't repeat the same shit for literally years. What the fuck? I'm stunned that people this stupid exist in the world. You took "not knowing when to stop" and redefined our understanding of it, and then did that 5 more times. You're unfathomably retarded and I can't believe how shitty your taste in humor is. Literally "lol xdd i said it again xddd" the joke.

I enjoyed Dark Souls 2 but it really didn't have the same feeling as 3 or 1. It felt like they made that maps and just litered them with random enemies.

It's a vocal minority anon, it just seems like it's the general consensus because a number of shitflingers proclaim so repeatedly and loudly. Some people aren't capable of arguing without going extremistic and painting up two oppositions - you either hate it or love it, no in betweens - which really never should be applied to games in the first place, seeing as the vast, VAST majority of games happen to lay somewhere in between perfect and fucking atrocious. Dark Souls 2 had it's flaws, but it was a good game. I would even dare say, that this is the undeniable truth, shoot me if I'm wrong.
>>
>>332571160
Sounds like you're awful. Only thing in DaS2 even approaching being difficult were the DLC areas.
>>
>>332579164
Because you can catch someone off guard while they try to stab the squishy mage to death. Plus, a longsword is extra weight, and there are long staves which give Farron flashsword more range than a longsword.

Worst in general, sure, but it did improve aspects of Dark Souls 1 that were lacking. And thanks to this, I'd be willing to argue that the final version was more than an OK game, that it was a good game. A good action RPG.

If you're interested to know a few things Dark Souls 2 improved upon, lookie here
>>332565821
I'm sure there are other things the game improved upon, for an example the framerate at which the game ran upon launch, without any patches needed.

Not that it matters an awful lot, but hey, whether or not a game runs properly can make or break the game. And in this case, I'd say it speaks for the opinion of the game being good rather than being OK at best.

I don't like either personally. Giants don't typically evoke supernatural in my experiences. But the anus face and the void face kind of have this haunting and otherworldly feelings them.

I can respect it for the reasons you stated. Making them seem completely different to humans, gods and lords. At the same time though I don't feel like /just/ enough is given to help support that.

They all just kind of act like big dudes who swing a thing in the end.

Well yeah, the only giants we see beyond DS1 are insane motherfuckers and the result of FROM being just lazy enough to not have insane-motherfucker models for them when you see a memory of them at a time they aren't insane motherfuckers.

I suppose the giants in Ds3 are different, but they still evoke the same ideas you get when you first see the Giant Lord and the Last Giant, same character actually.

But to me, personally, they always gave me that "Nazgul" feeling, like you are looking at something that is very much a physical being, but trying to put an identity to it beyond vague titles is nigh-impossible because it inherently belongs to a different shade of existence than your own.

>>332586737

Yeah, that's probably the case, but they still go out of the way to evoke the Giant Lord look on him, and the lore on his stuff indicates that he is a different race than the humans.
>>

>>332586935

I get that. Also has it been proven Giant Lord is the Last Giant? i'm curious about that.

As far as the Nazgul thing goes, I can completely see that, and that actually disappoints me more. Like you said Nazgul have that sense of, it's physical, it's there, and you can see it.
But they also feel hollow, vacant, as if they're not there. It gives me this feeling of an enigmatic, unidentified terror.
I feel this is driven home by their rules, and such. Unable to travel off roads in the first book, and film. The terrifying shrill shriek.

Sadly I don't get this with the giants, but i'm almost certain it's because of them being Giant. The way they look aside from the face.
Tall, lean, muscular, lumbering, some of them swing violently and haphazardly, it takes that nazgul fear away from me, and I just get stupid brute strength ogre vibes.
>>
>>332588543
Yup

Scholar of the First Sin changed to:
Soul of the surviving giant, who was bound below the Forest of the Giants.
The lord of the Giants, who had brought wrack and ruin to the entire kingdom, was said to have been felled by an unknown warrior. His beaten and broken remains were then dragged beneath the stronghold, where he was sealed away.
Use the special soul of the Last Giant to acquire numerous souls, or to create something of great worth.

I completely agree, and yes, the SotFS changed the soul description to indicate it.

But yes, I completely agree with you on their animations and movement, I feel like this could have been off-set within the Memories by showing Giants that weren't devolved-clubzerkers, but we couldn't have that.

Like, the Giant Lord and his degradation into the Last Giant, you take this tall, lean, up-right fucker that could have once been great but is already falling into ruin after countless generations and then accelerate it till you get a starved, insane wretch of a creature that rips off it's own arm to use as a weapon while ignoring the giant stone pieces in it's rib cage.

This entire scenario isn't a part of the other giants, you get -as you said- strength-ogres that haven't changed for...millennia, so it destroys a lot of the mystique they could have had.

>I feel this is driven home by their rules, and such. Unable to travel off roads in the first book, and film.

I feel like this is something that has disappeared in the last decade or two; the idea that unnatural creatures have to abide by rules enforced upon them by the natural world.

I mean, I can appreciate the idea of unnatural monstrosities not having any real problem manifesting on a world that in against them in every way, but I just feel like the rules thing has faded away.

I mean, you have the old legends of Vampires and the Seelie/Unseelie and the shit that bound them, like those Chinese-pseudo vampire things that have to count rice because they are creatures of disorder, or the Cthulhu mythos, where Cthulhu doesn't wake up because salt water is his kryptonite.

>>
>>332565180

>>
>>332590907

I could be completely wrong, but I feel like personally alot of that comes from the inherent nature of today's society where we so readily need instant gratification.

Movie trailers that give almost all the plot points away I feel like isn't a terrible example. People have the I need it now mentality, and the same goes for answers. I hear a lot of people get mad when movies don't explain certain elements or things in the movie.

I could imagine people of today being furious about not knowing what was in the suitcase in Pulp fiction. There's something to be admired or appreciated about not having the answers.

Dark Souls gives me that vibe, and things like the Nazgul are kind of similar in that regard. With Dark Souls I always feel like when I play those games it's more like looking at the world through a window.

Everything within the visual radius of the window I can study, observe and speculate about, but there's still that air of mystery as to what's really there or isn't, so to speak.

Horror movies really seem to fuck this up, by needing to explain every element of the creature/murderer or whatever.

The key is to give just enough information to give you a sense of that creatures motives/rules/purpose but, still leaves you curious as to what might the real answers be.

Scratching the surface can be much more enjoyable, because the things that aren't explained, we try to explain with our reasoning, or imagination, and that can be so much better than the answers we are actually given.

Sorry if this is a wall of text or waxing philosophical.

Anri dies that way, if you tell her where Horace is. When you go back to Horace's location, she's dead, with her sword on her corpse and Horace is still alive. My guess is he goes hollow. You can also get her sword by saving her in my previous post and then talking to Ludleth before visiting Horace's death location.

The easiest way to get to him is to hang right immediately after emerging into Smouldering Lake and hugging the wall. Eventually, you'll find an opening that will lead directly to him.
