Is it actually shit or /v/'s "not as good as it could be" shit? Because I was planning on playing it at some point.
>>333439196
In my opinion, the latter.
>>333438960
why dark souls 2 was shit again ?
i've been playing through it again and im happy that at least the duel arena is still pretty active and i can get the random white phantom for a boss
>>333439440
I feel like it couldve gone with a bit more polish, as opposed to wait and sell good dlc later.. and wait and resell game with dlc.
It was a good romp, but its definitely the weakest in the trilogy.
>>333439196
It's a good game, it's just not as good as it's predecessor.
SotFS fixes quite a few ofthe problems the original release had, and the DLC areas are some of the best areas in all souls games.
>>333439196
The combat animations in Dark Souls 2 are so fucking terrible I could not play it again after playing Bloodborne. Thank god Ds3 took at page out of the latter.
>>333439828
>DLC areas some of the best
Except for the three challenge areas in each of them (maybe Frigid Outskirts with dual tigers is borderline okay - the zone at least is interesting). Iron Passage leading up to Blue Smelter and the packed shit that was the area leading up to Gank Squad wer absolute dogshit game design.
The rest of the DLC stuff was pretty great.
>>333440253
I liked the Iron Passage and the area leading to the gank squad.
Thinking about that, maybe that's why I enjoyed DaS2 so much regardless of its flaws: it had tons of dangerous to navigate areas.
Blightown was my favorite DaS area.
>>333439196
It's better than DaS

B-team fucked it up so bad
>>333439196
It's seriously fucking trash
I love when retards say "It's not a bad video game it's just a bad Souls game." No, it's a bad fucking video game. If it didn't have Dark Souls in the title nobody would even fucking talk about it and it would have gotten 5-7 ratings on every review site.
>>333442184
mad cuz bad those niggas are easy as fuck
rebellion is shit wait till movie 4 is out
>>333442184
Just a heads up the first are isn't Heide's Tower, go to forest of the fallen giants first
>>333442280
The point is when I shoot one of them with an arrow only one should pull, however the other two who are nowhere near the one I shot start charging as well
It's simply bad game design
>>333438960
So glad DaS3 fixes all DaS2's fuckups.
Hornet parries are the best.

Really? I for me, in SotFS, the two side guys only start charging after I kill great sword guy. Like they're watching the duel.

>>333442342
He was obviously in the Forest of the Fallen Giants
he was talking about three of these fuckers aggroing at the game time
>>333438960
DS2 is a good
PVP is a lag shit tho
Why do people hate DS2 so much? Yes it's worse than DS1, but not by much.
It seems like everyone forgets that the second half of DS1 is unfinished.
DaS2 is great, fuck off
>>333442680
second half of DS1 is still infinitely more polished than anything in DS2 though
DS2 was designed by people who missed the entire point of the souls series
>>333442680
Because the unfinished last half of Dark Souls is still 100000000x better than anything in Dark Souls 2.
>>333442619
Oh shit, thought he meant the giants in the tower, it was kind of vague.
Those guys are a pain, but any magic, weapon buff, or strike weapon fucks them up.
Last playthrough I did I went and got the craftsman's hammer before I cleared that area. It seriously 2 shot them with no upgrades. Such a good weapon, used it the whole game.
How the fuck do I get myself into Dark Souls? I Always play the game and get past the first intro area, kill the boss and then I quit because I get bored but I'm really interested by the DaS series
>>333439196
considering that dark souls 1 was boring, overhyped mediocre shit
dark souls 2 is even worse
>>333442559
>loli
>>333443004
>norma slut
I've never played it, but I was put off by roll speed being tied to a stat.
>>333442927
Maybe try with 3? It'll be really populated at release, and that's what really got me into the series. Helping guys out, getting help, invading and getting invaded really got me into the game when prepare to die edition came out.
>>333442964
Why are you even here?
>>333439196
It's okay. The biggest problem was that enemies disappeared after a while and you either had to up the difficulty or join a covenant to counteract it. Online actually worked though so I enjoyed it quite a bit.
>>333443095
I can't say anything negative about Sakura
DaS 2 did have some cool areas. I really like the tower of flame. I like the enemies there and the whole crumbling tower ascetic.
It's the weakest souls game but it's still tons of fun and I don't regret the 90 hours I put into it.
>>333442779
>>333442812
I don't see it.
The Bed of Chaos is a worse boss than anything in DS2. Lost Izaleth and the Tomb of the Giants are about as bad design-wise as most of the areas in DS2.
If anything, Dark Souls 1 was more of a change from Demon Souls than DS2 was from DS1.
>>333439539
>Combat feels sluggish, swinging and dodging and parrying is slow and your knees explode if you fall from higher than twenty feet
>No world design you literally climb towers and end up in lavascape worlds
>Shit breaks constantly so you can't use the curved or thrust sword you like without carrying repair powder or a backup weapon
>Enemies are recycled a lot (hollow soldiers, royal swordsmen, syan knights and etc. in general you don't get the HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT experience that das1 has constantly on a first playthrough when you see a new enemy
It's still not a bad game I would recommend playing it, it just could have been better
>>333443356
>choosing some nancyboy over perfectly willing loli pussy in a world where everyone else is gay
>>333443410
Agreed on the bed of chaos, but I wouldn't say it was a rushed boss, just a really bullshit gimmick boss that the series is known for doing from time to time
Lost izalith in general isnt that great, I don't mind it as much as other people though
I don't see your issue with tomb of the giants though, it's definitely one of those areas that make me not want to replay it, but not because it's bad, the pitch black darkness and those skeleton dog things are pretty devastating, however that area did darkness better than any part of DS2 except maybe the gutter, a game where one of the big points they were trying to make was the torch mechanic being a big deal
>>333439196
It's pits pretty good, but it's definitely worse than dark souls.
Way better than demons souls though. Anyone who would disagree with that has the biggest pair of nostalgia goggles imaginable.
>>333439196
it starts off well I think but as you go on, level design seemingly becomes quite lazy.
>tfw I help out my red bro's being ganked
Feels great

it honestly isnt that bad, 1 is better but 2 is decent: iframes piss me off though (thats related to ADP)

It's worth playing so you can form your own opinion on why it's shit. But the game is still shit.

20 feet is very high.

Stop posting anime reaction images you fucks.
>>333441153

I'm split between feeling Rebellion should never have happened and also enjoying the narrative.
>Tfw Shaft studio made a short that leads into their next Mado project and no one is allowed to see it
>>333440483
What kind of shitty bait is this? How can people still defend DaS2 when the same developer made DeS, DaS and BB?
>>333442227
>No, it's a bad fucking video game. If it didn't have Dark Souls in the title nobody would even fucking talk about it and it would have gotten 5-7 ratings on every review site.
That''s such fucking horse shit. You don't even believe that, you just can't stop meming.
>>333446538
I do believe that you fucking nigger the game is trash
>>333446741
Well you're factually wrong.
The game is definitely the worst in the series but your hyperbolic opinion is gutter trash shit.
>>333445998
>only 222 hours? god what abysmal times we live in where we can experience games for less than 5 cents an hours. Such shit.
it's hard to tell if your being ironically retarded or just regular hyperbolic retarded
>>333447471
222 is pretty low compared to 900+
probibly the most qualified person in this thread to talk about the quality of both games.
>>333449130
>Playing it for 222 hours and still calling it shit
I think Das2 is better then DaS1 and i still only played it for 140 hours
