This video is a love letter to us DS2 fans and it makes me wanna forget the entire DS2 experience just to experience it again and again fall in love with it. Dark Souls II will always be my favorite souls and Ray will always be my favorite DS2 UA-cam thanks for everything ❤️
Even with the janks and kinks it had its still a really good game that I enjoyed and spent hundreds of hours on. The drip too is really good having multiple aesthetic armor to choose from and I just remember how beautiful Majula is everytime you tp back there. Imperfect as it is but its still a gem to play.
You know what they say
Imperfection makes perfect
(Or something like that)
I feel the same way
You can master the jank
everything about Majula will forever be in my memory
the tower, the beatiful sea, and the music.
Compared to ds1 I don’t consider this game janky. Maybe compared to ds3 or bloodborne but even ds3 felt pretty janky at times
Ds2 will always be a great memory for me. The first time i played it was when i finally made friends at a new school and one of them lent me the disc. He heard my birthday was coming up and he said i could just have it. Sadly once i finally made decent friends my family had to move to florida.
Sad story bro
did you keep intouch with the friend who gave you ds2 ?
The way you killed the skeleton lords had me rolling!
Like them pinwheels?
Scholar of the first sin remains my favorite souls game even after elden ring i have replayed it so many times
All this time and I never knew you could kill the gargoyles before they wake up
I was today year's old when I learned about Soul Appease on the Royal Rat Authority
Love this game. Fought the Fume Knight so much helping people, I had more sunlight medals than I knew what to do with. Great fun, great game!
I'll never forget spending a week farming giant lord and getting max lvl then just stomping anyone I ran into. It will always be my fav souls game I spent over 2.5k hours in this game
Man that’s like a third of a year wtf
@@christopherlyndsay8611 that's just ds2, I put like 1k in ds1, about 2k in ds3, like 1k in bloodborne and I just hit 800 in elden ring. I'm one of those god sweat grease lords who plays too much
@@m.c.i.d23 you've put roughly 1.2 years into these games altogether lmao. you must like these games.
@@m.c.i.d23 dude u have a life??
@@lauri3627 yeah but not really lmao. Lately I've just been stalking people at stormveil in elden ring with assassins approach and cannon of haima at lvl 30 so tbh I don't really have a life no
i cant imagine how a ds2 remake would even look
A Blue Point remake of DS2 as they did with Demon Souls is my dream, the game has so much attention to the ambience and immersion and Blue Point does that great
@@amnesicturtles4145 It’d be cool if they remade it that they restored all the cut content. It would surely rise the game popularity among the community.
@@isaakfaulk8067 they didn’t bring back cut content for demon’s souls, so they won’t bring cut content for ds2. Don’t get your hopes up.
@@nono-lz9qr well, it is a remake, meaning it doesn't have to be the exact same. Maybe they can add a bit of cut content, or even an entirely new area just for cut content. A fourth giant memory maybe, like they did with Sir Alonne and the Ancient Dragon Dream in the Duke's Dear Freja arena
@@hairlessgrizzly559 remake doesn’t mean anything when it’s bluepoint. People got their hopes up when they heard about the demon’s souls remake, and no cut content was added back in. Hell, some minor glitches like the lingering hit box from exploding barrels stayed in the game.
Do I want a DS2 remake? Absolutely. It’s just people seem to think ‘remake=more stuff’ and not, ‘remake=better look and run times’. DS2 would benefit from a total reconstruction ( QoL adjustments like I-frames on boss fog and doors for one. ).
Still think about the PVP all the time! I miss splattering fools with the Sacred Chime Hammer 😁
Or using the sanctum mace to obliterate people, once they are poisoned, they either have to kill you fast or try to run, wich they can due to the mace tracking
@@coheteos balanced yet strong poison/bleed status effects, how i miss them
@@abrahamrangel2326 haha funny bleed+frostbite :)))
Still love this game, from the bottom of my heart, even after beating ds3
The most underrated game EVER made.
Ray even after all these years still knows how to put on a show of power in dark souls 2.
Everyone can, just use cheats to get max level and eq like he did
@@Evra22 And then get one tapped because you're at 15% health with 1% equip load and are clueless about how the game is actually played.
@@TheStraightestWhitest I meant every Dark Souls player, if someone recognizes videos show of power he should know something about game
@@Evra22 he didn't use cheats fuck face
@@TheStraightestWhitest Just because people cheat doesn't mean they aren't knowledgeable or skilled
Still my favorite Souls game
How??
@@rust_y how what?
@@rust_y How dare he have another opinion about his favorite game than the all mighty Rusty?
@@mrnobody8294 lol
Mine too (wasn't my first, I started the series with DeS and DS1). Best soundtrack and overall atmosphere in the series, best selection of armors and weapons, best multiplayer experience and covenants (and all of those actually worked for once), most satisfying character progression (cheap levels combined with high softcaps and multiple attributes worthy of investment; also NO reason to stay at any fixed level), cleverly crafted dangerous situations with traps and enemy setups (I prefer the vanilla to SOTFS), and, while this is very subjective, the most profound reflection on the hollowing aspect (also told through game mechanics like the damned Soul Memory matchmaking). The game had it's flaws (surprisingly bad graphics for example) but it's still my favourite.
Not gona lie i love majula and emeral heralt, for some reason that place its calming to me
DS2 has never stopped being great, Ray. That's the truth. And you are one of the people who has reminded the community of that, for years.
Drangleic will always be our special place, from all of us
I hold DS2 as a pillar of personal challenge, and i pride myself in my ability to make it through relatively well...
This game is solid. I had more trouble mapping out where I was at times compared to the other games, but I love how it introduced a better warping system which reduced unnecessary backtracking.
I love the game. Wouldn't say it introduced a better warping system though. More like its warping system is a function of the game's more linear paths and lack of interconnectivity. As in backtracking is pointless because there's not much to discover after the fact.
@@lucascarracedo7421 i would say Ds1 warping System was good for a first Experience only :) 0 replayability, in that sense ds2 did the job much better, and ds3 with his only 1 way to go At The very beginning... Yep, ds2>all.
@@AtreyusNinja Yeah it's personal preference definitely. I don't feel it takes from replayability as I enjoy running a bit through those spaces, and since I know the game so well after many runs I never feel I'm running in circles.
Love all three games actually. Just was trying to state that it's not a matter of better or worse but of preference.
Also, I like being able to earn the right to warp on DS1. You said that after the first time it's not fun anymore, but technically after the first run you almost go straight to O&S whioe killing everything needed or even skipping stuff, without running in circles.
@@lucascarracedo7421 that was the problem for me, "new game" "i can't w8 to reach anor londo" "ok and now? the worst part of the game" "..." XD
@@AtreyusNinja Yeah I sort of agree in a way but I learned to love it in spite of that. Enjoyment doesn't always depend on how good (or not) something is. People tend to shout something they like is a masterpiece and attack what they don't, most can't disassociate taste from intrinsic quality, as if liking something that's not perfect made them look bad lol. A weird effort to justify their activities, who nobody cares about really.
I see the flaws in all DS games, but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying them nonetheless, and I don't have problems saying I like flawed games.
Somehow, I always find myself replaying DS2 way more than any other game ever. I can see it's issues, but the balance is still that I love it.
Sir Alonne was like 'yep im going out on my own seppuku terms'
I'll never forget the first time I played ds2 (my first souls game) and was overwhelmed with the difficulty. I watched one of your videos and you made everything look so easy 😭 i love Ds2 and thank you for all these years of motivation!
Deceptive title, it never lost how amazing it was.
DS2 was my first and I still believe to be the best in the series for pvp. I think when I was younger I played since release all the way until the last handful of pvpers were still in the game. I literally watched the game come to life, change, and die all at once. One of the best gaming experiences I had and a huge part of my life.
You're the reason I ever even played DS2. I absolutely love it.
It’s the best Darksouls in the series
It’s such a sandbox each play through is completely different and it can be as easy or as hard as you’d like with any play style.
PvP is very satisfying too not really fair but really fun.
More balanced than Elden Ring
@@Foxingg Really low bar there, you know.
To this day, it still pisses me off that we didn't get to have those awesome teardrop Shy Guy masks from the announcement trailer.
You know it's serious when the player walks through the fog wall and there's no music
That's funny, I literally played DS2: SOTFS for the first time very recently since beating Elden Ring over and over was getting old. I gotta say, I'm not sure why DS2 always got as much hate as it did because I had a great time!
Thats actually insanely funny because i did the same thing. Im playing it right now
@@croscoloser Good luck, and have fun! \o/
The game has some REALLY strong features but, sadly, back when it released influencers and critics would only focus on the bad aspects so the internet decided it was a bad game.
@@ANTHRAD which is not true at all. I honestly have more fun playing it than dark souls 1
@@croscoloser Same, dude
I love how Ds2 is a mix between Ds1 and ds3 combat its fast but not crazy fast like ds3
My fav fromsoftware game
Aye same here
I liked it a lot but the SofFS ruined the game.
Same
@@ristilukki It's really the opposite.
@@asdergold1 Agree to disagree. For me the earlier version was vast superior and the new one was shitty "hurdur let's make it HARD" mod someone made.
Your ds2 vids have always had a special place in my heart. I’d watch them over and over and over and replicate them in my gaming moments back in the day.
Nostalgic to see the iconic Ray red twin tails
Ds2 sotfs is amazing you can’t tell me otherwise
I'm telling you otherwise
@@LzrsRsn I'm telling your telling of otherwise otherwise
Yeah no, it’s awful
Iron keep and shrine of amana aren’t amazing
@@xnotasweatx we don't talk abt the shrine of amana
Love to see a ds2 video I started watching your channel when you started your ds2 definitely will say ds2 is still my favorite souls game
Hell yeah, Dark Souls 2 is amazing. Love it, the one I spent more hours playing
Got into souls game during pandemic lockdowns and ds2 was my first souls game.
I was playing it day and night.
Died literally thousands of time losing countless souls and eventually evolving into giga souls Chad 1 shoting enemies with power stance fume knight ultra great swords lol.
This game will always hold a special place in my heart.
Watching this video and then reading so many great posts of people saying how much they like or love DSII is really heartwarming. DSII will always be held in an special place for me. It's my favorite and by far my most played FROM game. I have easily played 5x more time DSII than Demons Souls, DSI, DSIII, Bloodborne and Elden Ring... COMBINED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really miss the PVP.
I really want the servers back for DS2 on PC. Game is just so much fun and doesn't deserve all the hate it gets
I agree, it’s a great game that sadly got the treatment of the kid that all the class bullies
me tooo
Absolute best pvp
DS2 is a very fun game,
However,
DS1 will always remain my favorite.
I guess that’s how it goes for every souls fan. Which ever game you started out playing first s usually the one you line the most, because you have the most memorable moments that particular souls game. But even still, it’s not always the case. My first souls game that I played was DS3.
But DS1 is still my favorite. 😊
Yeah. And most times that's the source of disagreements and discussions regarding DS games, and games in general. That people have a really hard time understanding the difference between their favourite and things being good or not. People assume that something they like is inherently good, as if it would be impossible they liked something bad (which is also hard to prove). I'm not talking about your case, mine or anyone else's BTW, just rambling. My favourite is DS1 too, maybe by far. But I love DS2 and DS3 nonetheless.
@codified likeness utility honestly, the more I keep going back to very old games the less I agree with the "dated" concept in gameplay, which I used to refer to frequently. Every game is limited to some degree, even modern ones, and most times it seems to be more about each gamer's particular thresholds for hand holding and lack of friction in mechanics. DS1 is slow, and clunky maybe, some people prefer the fluidity and quality of life improvements of more recent games but I am not sure that means it's dated precisely.
@codified likeness utility I agree with most of this. That's why ds2 is the ds game I keep coming back to the most. Despite 1 being my absolute favourite game ever.
Im so glad there's other people here who feel the same way I do about ds2. It was my first souls experience and I will never forget the way I felt my first playthrough. Changed the way I look at video games forever. I can't wait for the servers to come back it'll be like release all over again ❤️
Dark souls 2 best pvp souls game. Elden Ring has made me so sad for the future of Fromsoft games. Thanks for this Ray.
Back when invaders were frightening. So many viable builds and also you couldn't mindlessly spam roll and estus like in DS3 and ER. Damn, i miss it
@@ANTHRAD getting invaded in DS2 was really scary as invaders made no sound and the entire backround ambience went silent, giving it that "something is stalking you" vibe.
@@ExtremeMan10 seeing the scythe forlorn was like seeing the grim reaper lol
Always been great, love the quantity of weapons and armor, the if you’re see it you can get it feel.
I already missed watching these kinds of videos
its the one i have more hours on. cant help it, i really have fun.
The bosses were fun and the zones unforgettable.
'fun' :D
"Perhaps you've seen it, maybe in a dream. A murky, forgotten land."
I'mma just say it, DS2 feels like a proto Elden Ring
Elden RING feels like a proto Ds2
Dark souls 2 SotFS
First dark souls game i've ever played.
Thus will be my favorite and will have special place.
0:18 THAT SPACING DAAAAMN
I like how the horse stands up just to die lol 1:16
Ds2 is the Elden Ring of the dark souls games.
Man this is amazing. You're freaking good.
First souls game I beat. And I had no internet at the time so I had to do it the true way. One of my proudest gaming accomplishments lol. I used the greatsword, drangleic shield and alonne captain armor with a hood. Thought it looked pretty bad ass.
And this isn't even Ray's final form... Lol
For me darksouls 2 will always have a special place as before on ds 1 i only played for the gameplay. Ds2 was the first game where i read every object and every weapon listenned to every dialog to try to understand the lore . Which i did for all game since then. So yeah praise ds2 !!
Love the positivity!
My favorite souls game!!
I need to start playing best souls 2 again
It was a peace so deep, it was like...the dark...
I'm not being ironic when I say this: DS2 is my favorite game ever by From Software. Only one that comes close for me is Elden Ring.
But Ray, how to make something great even more greater?
Honestly I'm about to play again DS2 because I lost the save. So yes c'mon let's do it!
Boss: *exist*
Ray: “it’s free real estate”
My left ear really enjoyed Aava Lud and Zallen
Always beautiful to see someone fully achieve Git Gud.
Yo the skeleton lord one was amazing. Never knew that
I’m sicker than a sea dog. Sick to my soul. And this rejuvenates my dark soul through the butt houl.
It has been great all the time!!!
Those who skipped Dark Souls 2 will never experience the grand feeling of seeing the magnificent Dragon Aerie/shrine for the first time.
Many incredible areas, i pity them fools
this game has so much content i never knew existed.
A full remake with cut content and minus all the unfair BS would be nice!
Best 9 minutes of my life!
New Game + is when the player becomes a boss.
Game is amazing. The best DLC the souls series has ever seen. It just needs a series update and the controls need to be more smooth and fluid. Other then that this game is a masterpiece
Sunken King had me go through 3 controllers. Lmao
Ivory King was a pain
Iron King was excruciating
Only thing that stop ray....is his stamina
I'm now playing it for the first time.
"let's make ds2 great again"
Proceeds to 2-3 shot most of the game
My first souls game and still my favorite one
I thought this was a video about how to make this game better with some mods but this is fine too
Ahhhh man not the ice rapier
Just watched pontiff pancakes replay DS2 again. What a delight
I just know ds2 remake is gonna be so good
Improved death simulator as the bosses get what coming to them?
Would love a video showing all of your builds, like this one! Give someone like me, a bored player, something new to have fun with!
best games from the best years, of course.
what dark souls 2 players mean when they say just level adp:
When was it ever not?
I have all Elden soulsborne games 100% completed, and yes, Dark Souls 2 is a great game. Different, but good.
build specifications and items needed for it,please?
That kind of video you see twice.
love it
Yes
Dark Souls 2 is a great game many have not yet appreciate. It is a gem which was not understood in its time.
Youre right the time for it was NEVER. I'd understand if it wasnt a souls-series game but holy owl testicles it blows chunks as a game.
6:33 "Aahh! Shame!"
I've been playing haha just finished my first run through after years
I miss the pvp in the red covenant
Só queria que o online voltasse, só vou animar de jogar novamente se for com algum amigo
mas é só invocar🤨
@@yoshizzz9579 o modo online dos DS ficou off por muito tempo por falhas no código que hackers afetavam o jogo dos outros (se não me engano esse foi o motivo), o 1 e 2 ainda estão desativados, só o do 3 voltou
Very satisfying
This needs a remaster with dark souls 3 engine
I didn't know you could fight the gargoyles before they spawn
I need to know what the build is ASAP
