Can you name a shittier area or level than The Gutter of Dark Souls 2 in video games?
>>333230450
It was shitty in a good way. Some of it was shitty in a bad way but having a blightown v.2 but shitter was pretty cool.
Shit looked like it was going to fall apart any second.
>>333230450
Blighttown.
Shrine of Amana maybe
Pharos at ridorana can get powerbombed too
>>333230450
Blighttown
Great Hollow
Lost Izalith
>>333230450
it's not even bad. kind of enjoyed having to light it up piece by piece to see
>>333230450
Gutter was one of the better areas of that game, what are you on about?
The gulch, right after the gutter.
Fucking spitting statues.
Black Gulch
Dragon Aerie
Lost Izalith
Crystal Cave
>>333232043
The part right after it with all the poison spitty things though... man that place was dreadful.
Black Gulch, shitty small area lengthened with annoying poison statues
>>333231857
Blighttown is great though
The Pitt-Fallout 3
Total Gnar.
>>333232175
>>333232189
>>333232245
An area so poorly designed it had 2 bonfires despite being 45 seconds long. The devs fucking knew.
>>333230450
Lost Izalith
>>333232184
>Dragon Aerie
>bad
It's probably the area in the souls series with the better presentation, even if yes, there is nothing to do in it but that's still one strong redeeming quality.
>>333230450
Fuck this level
You get lost
You realize you're in the wrong fucking entrance in the town
Oh wait you have to backtrack to the other entrance now
fuck you camelot
>>333231857
>swamp level
>framerate becomes sluggish
It's like I'm actually there!
>>333230450
Why yes.
Its called Black Gulch, right after that.
>>333232968
Man I played hundreds of hours of the first two games, finished them, hunted all summons and items, and I dont recall this stage.
darkness is better than non-linear.
in Blight Town you can get turned around 6 times, end up in the bog, lost or end up inside that rotunda thing, lost.
same with Tomb of Giants. you can be turned around 20 times, but you also can't see and it's also vertical.
>>333233223
it's the town that got flooded by the statues that spit out water
I hated the hell out of this one, even more than air's rock because at least air's rock had floor panels notifying what floor you were on.
>everyone talks like the gutter like it's sort of hellhole
I stumbled through it real fast on my first playthrough. But then again, I was so focused on getting through I completely ignored that one exit in the giant pit that led to the rat king.
>>333233407
>town flooded by the statues that spit out water
Oh man, I think I am having memories of this return.
The Lost Ages was a bit too fucking merciless with the amount of dungeon. Just thinking about going to any of the fucking elemental rocks was a nightmare to be had.
>Fire Rock and its gigantic map
WHAT THE HELL MAN, WHEN DOES THIS END!?
>>333232497
AAAAAND don't forget two fucking summon markers. For pate and some other guy. Such a shit area.
>>333233358
>in Blight Town you can get turned around 6 times, end up in the bog, lost or end up inside that rotunda thing, lost.
This is why I love Blighttown so much. The moment you understand what's up in this area, you want to get out asap.
Yet the game won't let you, it's not even clear where you're supposed to go, you have to learn this area, you have to manage all the different kinds of enemies. Even if you want to run past everything the game make it sur that you at least take time to learn the path.
One of the best areas in the Souls game, especially because it forces you to rethink your approach, forces you to take your time because danger can come from anywhere, this also goes well with the verticality of the place. It's one of those areas where you can't let your guard down for a second.
>>333230450
The Gulch is probably the only memorable area from 2
From DaS definitely Lost Izalith. I hated Lower Burg too but I don't know if a skippable straight line zone is worth complaining about.
But I liked running around lighting all the torches.
The place actually felt kinda cozy after you lit them all.
>>333232968
That place was awesome, fuck you. That town sold great weapons so you could just LETS OUT A HOWL your way through, and the actual dungeon wasn't even that long. Plus the statues had neat designs.
The Gutter was a such a joke area compared to the Blightown. Now do I think about it, there are 0 areas in Dark Souls 2 that are complex and good as Blightown and Catacombs. Dark Souls 1 is really the pinnacle of the series.
>>333230450
I can name plenty from the same game
Shrine of Amana pre-patch
Iron Passage
Frozen Outskirts
Heides Tower
Black Gulch
Harvest Valley
Earthen Peak
The Gutter is just a boring area. Probably the most boring out of all of FROM's "Poison shithole" areas. It's a punch of wooden planks suspended over nothing. Not a valley like VoD, not a swamp like Blighttown, just a meaningless black pit like it's a super mario 3d world level.
>>333235083
this
i liked the gutter
great invasions there too
>>333230450
I want to like this game so much. it's so fulfilling when i finally get past a hard area. But seriously why does it have to be so difficult?
Going in blind not knowing where to go, losing all my souls when dying, not being able to get them back because I died again-repeat about 30 times for each new area
I get that Dark souls 3 would lose all its integrity but i don't plan on buying it unless its a bit easier

>le blighttown meme
It's great if you explore it and if you faggots just want to get through it follow the torches and you're at the bonfire in less than a minute
Guess no one here played DeS and know Valley Of Defilement
>>333232189
>>333232497
got through it on my first try.
I guess you guys just suck.
>>333236213
>Defending Blighttown
The entire area was a fucking mess besides the frames.
Fuck the poison swamp that you need to backtrack to the tutorial area to navigate at a normal pace in.
Fuck the infinitly spawning insects that inflict even more poison on you.
Fuck the fact that every other enemy in the swamp isn't hindered in speed in that muck.
FUCK that entire area with the fire keeper's soul and surrounding toxic blowdart enemies.
The only saving grace of that shithole is that it's connected to one of the more interesting optional areas in the game.
Otherwise it gets Master Key'd and skipped in a fucking jiffy.I still haven't beaten Demon Souls since I've started years ago because I've been part of many data mishaps.:(
>>333230450
>Gutter not only is smaller than Blighttown and Valley of Defilement, it is actually way worse
I hope dark souls 3 has another disgusting swamp poison area of death
>>333237016
It does. It's called Farron's Keep. Reviewer here.
>>333237016
It does and it is way brutal than Blightown.
I win
>>333235501
>Dark Souls 1 is really the pinnacle of the series.
Not when DaS3 comes out.
>>333236843
Not that anon but fuck you, I unironically like the upper part of blighttown. The lower part is shit though I agree
>>333237508
I enjoyed the upper part of blighttown besides descending further into the bullshit below.
black gultch
>>333237293
yeah fuck that difficulty ramp
Except i knew from reviews of the game that it would get harder so I already had re-thought my approach as soon as i saw how complex the factory was.
You stick to the right and map it out, power through all the enemies and once you complete the objective, forget the rest of the dungeon. Same worked for the monkey dungeon and Mt. itoi
>>333230450
Fetus swamp in DeS.
>>333230450
At least I can just run through this shit quickly, Shrine of Armana is literally designed to piss me off.
