Like blow up a wall for a shortcut or use a bow to snipe enemies into falling to their death or hit a door in frustration only for an enemy to open it for you. Little things like that made the experience so much better. And because there were consequences to dying I felt motivated to Git Gud to avoid them, to avoid going Hollow.

People can have their own opinions, but I definitely feel like Dark Souls 2 gets hated on because that's the trendy thing to do. It's not the greatest of the series, but I love this game.
I hate it because of the general clunkiness, the slow roll, the slow af healing, the lousy hitboxes, the terrible sound design (compared to the other games), ditto with the animations.

ADP, along with ATN (though not as much), increases a secondary stat called Agility, which in turn determines how many dodge roll i-frames you get as well as how quickly you can use items such as your estus flask. It's recommended to get ADP to at least 20, though 30 is even better. Around that point you hit the softcap for Agility and you'll have to invest a lot more to eke out a single additional dodge i-frame. DS2 is great. It does have its share of jank, but it has a lot of really cool stuff that sadly never returned in later games.
not really, almost all the good mechanics introduced have been inherited and improved in the following games, what's left is bullshit that has no place in a good souls game. Maybe with the exception of Bonfire Ascetic, thei were horrible for balance but still fun to use.
@@manuelferrari6685 Seriously, all the DS2 fanboys talk about powerstancing like it's the greatest mechanic ever when it's the worst implementation of dual wielding I've seen, DS3 dual weapons are way better.
DS2 is the best souls game for replays, Bonfire Ascetics were a breath of fresh air. Greatly appreciate them trying new things even if lots of them were failed experiments. Adaptability was certainly a huge improvement over resistance lol. Agreed about the good mechanics being inherited or improved in the future though, like look at what they did for poise! *looks at every FromSoft game until Elden Ring* Oh right...
@@herorevali7855 "looks at every FromSoft game until Elden Ring" So... just DS3? Or do you want to complain about poise in Sekiro too? Personally, poise doesn't really matter outside of PvP.
Yeah, pretty much just DS3. Attempt at a lame joke. I'd say there's plenty of DS3 PvE where poise would have been really nice, but it really does make PvP rough for heavier builds. Always loved PvP in DS2 the best, but they're all fun in their own ways.
Adaptability is arguably the best stat tk rush in ds2. This is because it is tied to the Agility stat which governs I frames on rolls (not equip weight like all the other games) and drinking speed. (Only game to do something like this) Agility 100 is a between light and mid rolls and about as fast on healing. But I will say itnis kind of funny getting a half second of i frames at 116 and fat rolling though everything, just beacue you can
problem is the game doesn't tell you that outright. they didn't went into the specifics and people only found out about the estus speed way later from release.
Not a big fan of DS2 really, there's tons of stuff i like about it, it just overall isn't well designed. Like comparing the polish of something like Sekiro to DS2 and is quite a night and day difference Still can be very fun, and definitely worth a playthrough, and who knows, may become one of your favorites
yeah I've been spoiled recently by some of the more polished souls games I've been playing. DS2 is still fun, don't think it'll ever be my favorite though 😅
@@itsSpicyGamingit has the best potential of replaying you have alot of various builds becouse of dark dmg even more then in other souls games and also more items weapons the game is the biggest ds game on itself it has the most bosses secrets and hidden stuff it has the best ng+ if you finished all souls games multiple times youre gonna realize that dark souls 2 is the best of them and i hate it at the beginning too😅
I think it’s fair for people to like or dislike ds2. It’s definitely not a bad game by any means, I just personally dislike it because of more technical aspects: you have more stats to put points into so each level is less impactful, the dodge rolling and sword swinging just feels “clunky” not sure the exact reason but that’s just how it feels and then the lack of any character reaction when being struck, only indication you actually got hit is your health going down. Not a huge fan of some of the levels/areas but that’s been said by just about everyone
Everyone who says this is the worst game has a massive skill issue. End of story. Watch Domo3000 to learn more. Ds2 is no jankier or gankier than any other game in the series thats a FACT. Enough with the hate bandwagon based on your lack of skill. Let this man enjoy a game.
I rolled a new character for DS2 a little over a week ago to finally platinum the game after 7 years since I last played it. God the enemy variety sucks since it's just dudes in bloody armor ad nauseam.
I feel like a lot of these people who claim to like the souls games never played one when they complain about ganks and the flask speed. Also he’s trash at this tho I believe it’s for entertainment and not just a skill issue
I feel like this game gets way too much hate tbh. I personally love it, the death is less punishing than demon souls, you don’t instantly get half your health taken. The variation of the level designs is the strongest in this game imo not counting elden ring
@@bongoknight1807 “skill issue” Ah yes. The cry of the DS fanboy who can’t accept criticism of their favourite game. I’ve played every Soulsborne game - OG Demon’s Souls, DS, DS2, DS3c BB, Demon’s Souls remake - and Elden Ring to completion with multiple characters to varying NG+ cycles, but my criticism of DS2 must be a skill issue because you’re a man child and can’t accept criticism of a game you play. 😂😂😂 💩head
@@maxmaxwell343skill issue. Ive also played all of the games and have no problem with it. Watch Domo3000. Its no different than the other souls games. Thats a fact.
Its never as bad as people make it out to be, honestly if they just got rid of the adaptability bullsh, and the stopping to chug estus flask, then it would be just another game, and a pretty good one
Idk what it is. Ive platinumed Bloodborne, DS3, wo long, and beaten like all the others like sekiro and nioh. But there is something inherently off with DS2. The world design feels off. The fact that enemies disappear permanently. The fact that I have Scholar of the First Sin, but for some reason all the enemy placement is still using the base game placement is weird. Cuz my ex showed me his version and its basically a totally different feel since he had different enemies in different places. The fact your health drops more after each death. There's something that just wrong to me when I play this game. And I get so frustrated because I struggle with this game in ways I know I shouldn't and just cant figure out why. You can FEEL that it was made by a different team. Because they were making Bloodborne when this was being made. I think what happened was DS was struggling to make it to mainstream. So they had the better members working on something else. While the B team made this. This is what happened with Wo Long. Team Ninja pulled most of their staff to make Rise of the Ronin. And Wo Long has suffered because of it. Luckily, most of DS2 is not canon. They knew to leave MOST of this crap where it belongs. As the forgotten middle child of the three. lmao
as you are dying you are loosing humanity and becoming more hollow, this game slowly reduces you max hp as you die. You need to use a humanity to restore your helth
@@adaasdfas8013 You call enemy spam better? Bro, vanilla Dark Souls 2 isn't easy at all. It's still a hard game, but it's a lot more on the fair side like any souls game should be, unlike Scholar which spams the enemies everywhere because it thinks more is better.
@@waltsalemastick814 i know what you mean its shitty in the main game with the extra spawns but the dlc content is amazing and i was thinking about them they are way harder then the base game
Rolling does work, but there's timing and aiming, from what i remember rolling into an incoming attack would still give you damage (someone correct me if i'm wrong, it's been a while since I played it)
The base roll is just awful, you need to level up ADP or ATN to increase agility and that gives you I-frames (without altering the roll animation mind you). Also many hitboxes are broken or linger for too long.
1:45 this happened because of ds2's. shit 4 directional movement. You were locked forward and you need to move the joysticks at least 45° for you character to start turning. Enjoy the rest of the game 😂😂😂
I remember playing DS2 on release years ago. And somehow loved it. Then I replay this a couple months ago (SotFS). Hate it. Not completely but it’s a lot of loathe. The timings/hit detection/enemy placement and even corridor sizes…all awful. Love the inventiveness of the enemies and story. But Jesus Christ it’s a slog of a play through

I don't know, man. It's a mystery to me.
Is this scholar of the 1st sin?
Idk what it is. Ive platinumed Bloodborne, DS3, wo long, and beaten like all the others like sekiro and nioh. But there is something inherently off with DS2. The world design feels off. The fact that enemies disappear permanently. The fact that I have Scholar of the First Sin, but for some reason all the enemy placement is still using the base game placement is weird. Cuz my ex showed me his version and its basically a totally different feel since he had different enemies in different places. The fact your health drops more after each death.
There's something that just wrong to me when I play this game. And I get so frustrated because I struggle with this game in ways I know I shouldn't and just cant figure out why. You can FEEL that it was made by a different team. Because they were making Bloodborne when this was being made.
I think what happened was DS was struggling to make it to mainstream. So they had the better members working on something else. While the B team made this. This is what happened with Wo Long. Team Ninja pulled most of their staff to make Rise of the Ronin. And Wo Long has suffered because of it.
Luckily, most of DS2 is not canon. They knew to leave MOST of this crap where it belongs. As the forgotten middle child of the three. lmao
Has no one taught him how to power stance??? Bro skipped the tutorial on it. Smh
as you are dying you are loosing humanity and becoming more hollow, this game slowly reduces you max hp as you die. You need to use a humanity to restore your helth
If you're playing the scholar version, (which I bet you probably are before even watching the video) you're gonna have a bad time.
Much better with sotfs ds2 vanilla is too easy
@@adaasdfas8013 You call enemy spam better? Bro, vanilla Dark Souls 2 isn't easy at all. It's still a hard game, but it's a lot more on the fair side like any souls game should be, unlike Scholar which spams the enemies everywhere because it thinks more is better.
@@waltsalemastick814 i know what you mean its shitty in the main game with the extra spawns but the dlc content is amazing and i was thinking about them they are way harder then the base game
You really shouldnt have played Schoiar of the First Sin, it jams higher level enemies into lower areas and increases the ganking 10x
Rolling does work, but there's timing and aiming, from what i remember rolling into an incoming attack would still give you damage (someone correct me if i'm wrong, it's been a while since I played it)
The base roll is just awful, you need to level up ADP or ATN to increase agility and that gives you I-frames (without altering the roll animation mind you).
Also many hitboxes are broken or linger for too long.
1:45 this happened because of ds2's. shit 4 directional movement. You were locked forward and you need to move the joysticks at least 45° for you character to start turning. Enjoy the rest of the game 😂😂😂
ahhh no is this first sin?
Tje beginning of this game writes checks the rest of the game is too broke to cash
I remember playing DS2 on release years ago. And somehow loved it. Then I replay this a couple months ago (SotFS).
Hate it. Not completely but it’s a lot of loathe. The timings/hit detection/enemy placement and even corridor sizes…all awful. Love the inventiveness of the enemies and story.
But Jesus Christ it’s a slog of a play through
you need to play OG dark souls 2, not DS2SOTFS
i love ds2, its not forgiving
Sorry, but this is not easy ring or roll souls 3 😂
Darksouls 2 had revolutiionary ideas like spawning mobs out of thin air, its why its loved so much.
why do you sound like your are dead from the inside
No.... Just no
