what's the difference between dark souls 2 and scholar of the first sin?
I think my friend knows, why don't you go ask him? His name is
SOTFS has the DLCs and rehashed enemy/item placement
They're both pretty bad though
>>338017515
>They're both pretty bad though
loving this meme
>>338017276
>dx11 support (slightly better lighting and graphix)
>different enemy placement
>red phantoms now everywhere
>all dlc included
>couple of minor things that got patched into the base game anyway.
if you've never played dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin is probably the best version since you save money on the dlc but other than that there's not much in itplay the other souls games instead
>>338017276
scholar
>ayy lmao enemies everywhere
also i think scholar is dx11 while ds2 is not
>>338017586
Its not a meme
There are multiple reasons why Dark Souls 2 in general is just a bad game
It has its moments and small improvements but literally any other souls game is better
>>338017586
meme = stereotype = stemming from truth
>>338017664
>literally any souls game is better
dude b team lmao
miyazaki can do no wrong
every time with you shitheads
>>338017857
I'm not even saying it was "le b team" or that Miyazaki can do no wrong, all of his games have massive flaws.
Dark Souls 2 just has way more than the others.
You can stop being stupid anytime now.

>tfw adaptability
>>338018072
yeah like being able to use the full moveset of your left hand weapon
or actually being able to catch people out of rolls
or ascetics
or ng+
or npc invaders with interesting AI
or balaced backstabs/ripostes
that's why none of those got into 3, because they were all massive flaws and you totally aren't a miyazaki shill
>>338018183
pretty good stat balanced the game.
>>338018534
Are you fucking stupid? I said the game had its improvements and little moments.
It still has way more flaws than 1, 3, or even DeS
Even some of the things you said are stupid like
>npc invaders with interesting AI
NPC enemies that literally cheat? Animation cancels, 3k+ health, infinite stamina, 360 degree tracking on every move - all of these things that you as the player can't do.
>>338018679
sounds more fun to me than literally another dude in armor invader
>>338018796
>fun
So to you its fun to have your enemies literally cheat the games own mechanics?
Okay.
>>338018841
is it fun to you to know that the npc who just invaded you might as well be another hollow?
>>338018679
>opening chest
>npc phantom starts to backstab me
>cancels backstab animation with a roll
>>338017276
Better monster placements.
SotFS is the version of DaS2 that's not total garbage and is actually possible to enjoy.
>>338019317
>Better monster placements.
The enemy placement in SotFS is retarded.
I was suprised when I saw a friend playing NG and it had a fucking dragon at Heide's. That shit should be NG+ or at least let you choose an option to play vanilla DS2 NG
>absolutely retarded stats like SM and ADP that had no place existing in the game
>broken piece of shit hitboxes even with high ADP, because your hitbox lags behind you and is not accurate at all
>stamina usage and stamina regen being ridiculously slow makes the combat crawl at a snails pace
>movement has horrible deadzones, fixable with mods
>the design philosophy that more=better
>the design philosophy that harder=better
>the design philosophy that more enemies=better combat scenarios
>broken weapon balance, rapiers and clubs completely rape the game
>oversaturation of garbage items, weapons, shields, staves, chimes, spells and armors with over 80% being completely useless shit compared to their counterparts
>bosses consist largely of big dudes with big weapons
>boss movesets and even some enemy movesets follow an extremely boring 1-2--3 sweep, sweep, slam combo
>a large number of bosses rely on multiple generic enemies instead of few interesting enemies
>large number of bosses are just complete garbage
>continued jewery with 3 DLCs after the developers said they wanted to deliver a complete experience
>even the paid DLCs have garbage areas and bosses
>DLCs follow a strict rule of green guys, bronze guys, white guys with similar movesets
>continued jewery with a season pass
>continued jewery with a rerelease that was even worse than the original
>massive graphical and lighting engine downgrade
>areas are incredibly linear
>world design is a massive pool of stupid ideas like pirates and ancient lion warriors
>area transitions are jarring and completely break all immersion
>world coherency and logic is nonexistent, for example Shrine of Winter
>NPCs are forgettable and entirely generic
>Music is entirely forgettable and sounds extremely samey
>lazy rehashing of bosses from previous games with added annoyance
>lore is a jumbled mess, story is full of holes and even SOTFS didn't help at all because Aldia is a mumbling idiot that doesn't make any sense
Shit game.

Heide's tower seems empty in vanilla DS2, no knights to farm for their set, less giants, etc.
Also SOTFS has more NPC invaders throughout the levels
Can I carry my Ds2 character over? I don't really want to start from scratch again
>>338020575
nope
