Imagine if DS2 never existed and money/time used to create it were split evenly between bloodborne and DS3.

Lord Of Cinder mode is probably the best incarnation of the "death punishment" mechanic so far. Soul/Body form is basically the same, just with a much higher health debuff. There's very little reason to ever stay human in DaS (except, bizarrely, so that ultras have a nice screenshake effect when they hit, which doesn't happen when you're hollowed). DaS2's is just silly.

My game often stutters in multiplayer whenever the other guy does anything involving their weapons, mostly switching or two handing, but attacking as well.

Soul of Cinder was the only Souls game end boss that I didn't die to even once on my first playthrough. I'm ashamed that I died once to Nashandra, but that was when I was testing a suboptimal cosplay.

Soul of Cinder still felt challenging, but he was pretty easy to dodge reliably.

>There is the cling ring
Yes, but my point is that when you play a souls game, you tend to keep in mind how much hits your character can take, to ration out your healing items
By making "gradual" health loss the mechanic, you often misjudge how much punishment you can take

Bigger budgets and longer development times don't always result in higher quality games. Just ask Kojima and MGS5.

Plus Dark Souls 2 with the DLCs was good. People shit on Dark Souls 2, but Dark Souls 1 Lord Soul areas wete pretty fucking weak and the Dark Souls 2 DLCs count for Dark Souls 1 DLC +3 Lord Sould areas, so they have similar amount of good content.

But Dark Souls 2 has admittedly much more shitty filler as well.

Yeah, the areas were actually moved around a lot and a bunch were supposed to be in completely different locations. In Earthen Peak you take an Elevator up and end up in a volcanic valley. Originally I think that path was supposed to lead to the Undead Crypt and Shrine of Amana was supposed to lead to Shulva.

DaS2 is a bad game, with ok to good mechanics combined in the worst of ways.
Take the limited respawns per bonfire area, for example.
I honestly find that the way they dealt with the inevitable loss of item dropping enemies via either resetting the respawn counter but buffing enemies to the next ng+ level, or joining a covenant that blocks co-op capabilities and buffing enemies while removing the respawn cap, is fun and interesting.
Think about how different DaS1 would be if they added this system and only this system
Yes, it would get more frustrating , but I think everyone here would enjoy it
But they added TOO MUCH of these mechanics that on their own would be cool in a souls game, making it clusterfuck-y and uncool

Dark Souls 1 didn't have great movement either. Bloodborne and DaS3 were the best games in that regard.

I like some of the mechanics and even some of the art direction/setting in DaS2, but the gameplay is just downright aweful. It's not just "different". It's just plain bad. Even old N64 games generally had more responsive controls and smoother movement than DaS2.
>>
>>147661457
Great hammers don't need a buff?
>>
>>147661079
i'm sure it'd do fine if you wanted to use that setup

but the Dragonslayer Axe really only shines at lower levels and raw infused. also could drop all the faith and instead just use resins which are better anyways

unfortunately there aren't really any weapons like the tail cut boss weapons from the first game

Dark Souls 2 had some neat concepts that I kinda wish they had taken further such as

>visiting a land BEFORE the Undead Curse(Giants' memories)

>fire as a mechanic
Terribly underused but it was a great concept

>Spending money in shops changes NPCs' attitudes

>NPCs react to you differently when you're hollowed
(Navlaan)

>A place you can kinda make your own

You can dislike it all you want, won't change the fact that you come out as a huge shitter that can't adapt to a different game. That's why they made das3 like an aborted fetus conceited by a braindead bloodborne and an alcoholic dark souls 1.

That actually makes sense, since there's Lion Knights in Lothric, Lothric was allied to the Dragons, and the sun altar is in the castle (instead of a completely random location, like in DS2).

I thought Dark Souls 2 Scholar was the best game. Dark Souls 1 is almost great, but it falls apart halfway through and becomes a chore of unfinished content. Dark Souls 3 was literally the safest game they made. Nothing about it is interesting or new. It's just prettier and filled with a billion added visuals to make it seem different. Bloodborne would be great if the other games didn't exist. Demon's was a great first introduction to this type of game, but it doesn't hold up and is too easy.

Scholar is the most complete game with the best lore. It's got a good variety of easy and hard bosses. Best characters and the best ending.

>>147662345
It's a great introduction to the series, and if you play it first, it's a great game. It's the happiest game of the series and has neat lore. I would have really liked to see DLC that explored the giants world.

It doesn't hold up compared to the others in terms of gameplay though. It's a lot slower so unless you play it first, everything is going to feel pretty slow, predictable and easy. You also will see how much the other games copied from Demon's. Just like if you're familiar with King's Field and Berserk, you will see how much is lifted from those for Demon's.

That would be my biggest gripe with the series. Everything is lifted so heavily from itself, the more you play and the more you know hinders the experience because it often feels like you're just playing a prettier re-skinned version of the game.

>>147662774
This is what I really liked about it. Just how many things there were to do made it feel like a bigger world. It also made it feel very trippy and strange when some paths lead to an area that couldn't exist. The fact that Dark Souls 1 is perfectly connected made it feel small to me. Demon's handled it well because you could warp to different areas of the land. It made the world feel larger because of all the things you didn't see.
>>
>>147662173
>>147662774

>Best characters and the best ending.

I wouldn't say that, but all the weapons and shit added in the DLC as well as the balance changes over time fixed 90% of the gameplay issues. Shockwaves exist and counter hits are stupid, but there are viable builds for poison and bleed, all spell types, and weapons that aren't longsword.

>Everything is going to feel slower, predictable and easy.

Yeah

Lol, no.

I just started a Guts run in Dark Souls 1 as a Bandit, got a Zweihander from the cemetary and I'm fastrolling everywhere and 1-shotting everything without a shield . If I wanted to, I could buy a Heater shield from the Undead Burg merchant and have a solid 100% physical block shield that would last me to roughly half of the base game. I literally 2-shotted the first real boss without upgrading my Zwei once. And I could've even upgraded it without any sequence breaks.

In Dark Souls 2 I had to deal with dogshit equipment and I can't upgrade my shit until I get to the Cardinal tower which is a slog in the base game if you picked warrior because your starting weapon is shit and can easily break on the way over there. Without ADP you have no iframes and your rolling is shit and you don't get a 100% block shield until you defeat the Pursuer. There's no Drake sword or early game frutch weapons.

>>147664758
>>147665137
You silly billy. The other anon cleared it up anyway. I agree with you though, Dark Souls 1 felt really easy compared to DS2 Scholar. The limited respawns for enemies and the limited shards you could buy from merchants made it hard to upgrade equipment. I felt like I got too many good things too early in Dark Souls. I don't recall ever getting stuck on any bosses more than a single death. In Scholar I've definitely found myself stuck on areas and bosses for mutliple deaths.

Demon's always felt pretty easy in most areas and bosses. I played it first and it felt fine as long as you went at a slower pace or if you used magic. The only times I felt really caught off guard were Maneaters, Flamelurker and False King. Those fights were all amazing. But I feel like if you played any of the other Souls games first, then went to Demon's, those fights would just feel okay.

Demon's would be really tough if you had 5 Estus Flasks instead of a near infinite amount of healing grasses. That's why the first world you go to in Demon's is rough because the levels are reasonably long but you don't have an assload of grass to abuse yet.

I could see that true. If you had limited healing the game would be notably harder. Even so, the enemies don't hit you for that much damage, bosses included.

I would really like to see Demon's be ported to the PC and we could make hardcore mods for it. Limited healing, enemies dealing a little more damage and various things like that.

They buffed them significantly a few patchs ago. They actually do damage now, and their WA works properly.
