I've just started playing DS2 and what the fuck is going on
Everything is really fast which is fine but it's really offputting and I'm finding it a lot more stressful and rage-inducing than das and des
Is 3 closer to 1? I'm going to buy it eventually but right now it's looking more appealing than finishing 2

3 is faster than 2. Where you playing das without the dsfix?

Yes, its the true sequel to the first game and a great end for the series. It kind of puts into perspective just how bad DaS2 really is.

60fps nigger

Dark Souls 3 despite a lot of problems e.g. poise is still a far better game than Dark Souls 2 will ever be.

>>342199703
This. You honestly could skip das2 and you wouldn't miss much other than PvP.

>>342199190
or skip them all and stick to bloodborne, the best souls game

Das2 was a rushed title. It has some good points but it's mostly a mess, skipping it is fine.

I'm really upset we didn't get the same masks as the marketing.

Is the port for 3 really shit?

no

Im currently playing through DS2 and i find it a bit easier than DS1. it does definitly feel different from the first one but its still enjoyable. The only wall I've hit so far is the Iron Keep. those damn archers and turtle knights.

speaking of dark souls

i started playing 1 earlier today on NG+ and i found myself in the swamp
so i was like ok cool ill just see if the boss is completed , it isnt, so i kill off Queelag
then i proceed to try to kill ceaseless discharge and promptly lose those souls after the initial "mandatory death" (i dont know how to dodge his attacks) and subsequent reattempt because i forgot about stamina recharging while i was running to "the sweet spot"

after defeating him, i then proceed to the 2nd wandering demon (which i later find out is locked) but end up losing those boss souls to a machete demon

i fucking hate when i lose boss souls to neglegence
>>
>>342199190
3 is not even a legit Dark Souls game, it's instead Not Bloodborne with Dark Souls assets.
As flawed as 2 was, it was more faithful than 3.
>>342197341
2 is not fast though, it just has an off timing that takes time to get used to.

Should I even bother with DaS2?

I've beaten Bloodborne and DSIII and kinda wanted another souls game on PS4. It's on sale right now but if its really that bad I won't get it.

Jesus christ, are you really putting Bloodbourne next do Dark Souls 1?

Bloodbourne was a shitty excuse of using Lovecraftian-mythos in a DS engine. It was abysmal.

you definitely can, but you need either have a really good shield, or to down estus every hit or two, since his slams hurt for around a second. as far as i know, there's no way to dodge the whole slam

Holy shit this fucking meme that DaS2 was anything but the absolute fucking worst in the series is actually going to steer people to believe it.

Too fucking far. This can't be allowed to go on. End it all fucking now.

It was the worst in the series but is it bad? All the souls games are renowned for being "good" games

Depends. The enemies/bosses are much more difficult to read in 3.

End game bosses like that snow tiger and raime still follow a linear pattern attack. Also yeah, some areas can be tougher but you can also completely remove the enemies from the game if you feel like it.

Just make the post-Lordvessel content not shit and you are set.

I only had trouble getting through Heide with the starter gear because those golems hit hard.

The forest was as easy as Undead Burg in DS1.

I refuse to believe anyone would have difficulty with DaS2 like this

Love how the side areas of DaS3 are supposedly directly in line with the main areas.
Also doesn't take into account you can branch off as much as you like more similar to DaS2
>>
>>342222128
I got gud tho

I think it's because I went from NG+ DaS1 just killing everything in one hit straight to this game
>>
>>342221702
I did literally the exact same thing.
