- This video is to show just how atrocious the bashing of Dark Souls 2 is, and how it's gotten much much worse ever since COVID hit... I am a fan of every game in the series, including Dark Souls 2, and you better accept the fact that I love the game.
The Souls community is Totalitarian, literally no one's allowed to like, defend, or even praise Dark Souls 2, or else we'll be deemed "fanboys" and low-class gamers... Basically, the way the Souls community works is that those who enjoy every "Miyazaki" title are mature gentlemen, while those who enjoy Dark Souls 2 are just children... What the fuck...
Dimitri Monroe has made a video stating how much the game "Sucks", and his entire comment section became a personal hub for hating the game, and Dimitri just supports them... Therefore, I strongly recommend you avoid his video, and don't give the haters the attention that they crave. The same thing goes for any video focusing on the "hitboxes". Watch MauLer's video instead, and watch it ALL THE WAY THROUGH. • In Defense of Dark Sou...
Final words, I don't care how hyped you were waiting for Dark Souls 2, I don't care how disappointed you were when you played it, I don't care how blown away you were when you played Dark Souls 1, I don't care how much of an improvement you thought Dark Souls 3 was, I don't care how much of an improvement you thought Bloodborne was, I don't care how much you like Demon's Souls better than Dark Souls 2, I don't care if you hate the game, I don't care if you broke the disk! I DON'T CARE IF YOU FUCKING WORSHIP MIYAZAKI! Now just leave me the Fuck alone! And let me enjoy every game in the series without feeling pressured!!!
Actually 2021-2022 is where more people(like your video) try to defense DS2. I saw some reddit posts about how good DS2 got a lot of likes. But, I didn't see that much from big creator, I only know that charile(penginz0) replay the game and realizing how actually the game is not a bad game.
Time from now Internet has become a sh*thole full of hate and totally agree with you DSII get unjustifed hate just because its not made by MIyazaki, it have his flaws and some scenarios can be overwhelming and hard to progress but its not Darksouls all about preserverance and find way to win.
Hi
thx for this video man
I want to add a bit of perspective. You can loose sleep over this comment or choose to learn from it. First of all. You can like bad games. When you take the word "worst" out of the sentence "Worst in the series" you are taking it out of context. It is not a bad game in general but it slips in the pit of mediocrity when the game has barely any original content and diverges from the previous works so much. I played DS1 then played DS2 on the Xbox 360. I immediately felt a difference with the controls as they felt janky and unbalanced. Same goes with the targeting system forcing you to let go of the analog stick before you attack. This was terrible for stamina management since most scenarios just require you to back up when an attack comes and then attack right after. I've watched Mathews video after beating the game as i disliked the game so much. It resonated a lot with me, especially common on many things not just that one video he made. Fanboy is a term that people come up with when people like yourself are "Traumatized" over a piece of art. Nothing more nothing less. Art is not a person, Art is not your friend. It is merely entertainment for ones pleasure or displeasure. You cannot abuse art as it still exists in the world no matter how many copies you destroy. However this has changed with more complex versions and intricacies that art has to offer. When we criticize art in general we look at a basic common ground to base our arguments with. For example the reason people hated or were unforgiving to this game is it's history. Most notably the per-release footage for dark souls 2. I was stunned when i first saw it as i thought i was looking at a completely different game. If you seen it, The giant hippo starts breaking the wall. As it breaks the wall, the wall has a built in animation to signal to the player what's happening. No warning message or obligatory cut-scene needed. This is stuff that people dream about having especially in those times when games like this were buried by mediocre content. For this reason it's safe to say it is the worst in the series because it was the only game in the series to be rushed for console limitations for the time of it's release. If you are just going to loose sleep over every meme comment or funny gag in those comment sections then it may be in your best interest to not read those or avoid opposing posts altogether. Armando @ 8:00 may be in the right because of the misleading per-release footage some may have seen. Since this is an assumed reddit post it only says 2 years so i have no idea when this screenshot was made. As such getting scammed would be bummer to deal with. It's your money, spend it on something you enjoy. No one is probably going to take him seriously anyway and probably play it regardless of what he says. This is why we have critics. I always have the golden rule for myself that i think may please everyone. Watch, Play, or Read any form of art that has a series in a chronological order. This usually helps form common ground that people can get by with. You also had some misinformation. Miyazaki wasn't directly involved in Dark Souls 2 and i highly doubt he had time to do much of anything since he was working on bloodborne unless you have a source to back this up, this sentence will remain. Dark Souls 1 and Demon Souls have flaws yes. But the main point with making a squeal is ironing out the kinks meaning improving on. Defending it or by making the flaws seem just as or equal to the predecessors undermines the previous criticisms of the previous games. You can put these screenshots up to prove your thinly made point but common sense would lead everyone to believe that. Of course, going into the comments of a forum, video or post will have meme posts and agreeing with the video, if the argument in question has a basis for making sense. Thereby with your logic. i could make any defense of anything. In other words. Whats there to improve on? It stands to reason that yes when MaLuer made a big series like that people would just not watch the rest and go dislike bomb. That's how the internet works my guy. As for me i beat dark souls 2, watched mathew's video, as well as his Lost Souls Arts of Demon's Souls video and finally decided to give Demon's Souls a try. I beat it in 4 days and was impressed every step of the way. We use the bad to make things better. If you ask me though Fromsoft has shattered my faith in them as a company. Mostly due to their business decisions. Make of that what you will. ~ Peace & Love KTB
DS3 is better
DS3 has it's own problems and they are glaring. As much as the developmental problems of DS2 get talked about, people don't realize how shredded DS3 got in it's final year of development. From the story (go read up on who the final boss was and all the lore that got gutted) and the bonfire system which was removed and made DS3 more linear.
that's cool. I wish that hadn't gutted that stuff. what was the bonfire system?
@@Oddity00 The world was more interconnected early on - and you could create your own bonfire (with limited resources) where you wanted.
Pontiff was also the final boss and main antagonist of the game - even lore wise in game, it's silly that he's just a road block boss when he's the puppeteer for the end of the world while being replaced with some fan service Soul of Cinder. Also, the screaming moving tree next to frozen mist magic had lore attached to her: It was Pontiff's mom, she was just changed into a throw away enemy in the DLC.
@@FirstLast-yc9lq I'd have really liked a more interconnected world.
ds3 did nothing new lol, they played safe af, ds3 graphic is good and they even forget about the colors.
