Dark Souls 2 just doesn’t compare to ds1. Sure some quality of life changes were much needed or changing cheap mechanics (like how backstab requires an initial strike to do it) but three net code is the worse (I don’t have the best internet but barely had Thai problem in DS1) and ADP, the worse addition to the game by taking the skill out of rolling But the enemy hit boxes are not well designed
@@aceclover758 Also adp does NOT take the skill out of rolling at all. Hell adp isn't even the only stat that contributes to agility. Which increased I frames. You start with less frames than in ds1 or 3. And if you want a game that takes the skill out of rolling look no further than darksouls 1 and 3. Where the fast roll makes you practically invincible and the mid roll in 3 is barely any different to the fast roll.
@@GilbertTheGilbertGuy When rolling I frames is affected by a stat, than yes, the skill of rolling is removed or heavily decreased Also for your example of DS1, rolling was static and dependent on your armor. Want more protection? Than be carful of fat rolling Want to equip the ring and ninja flip? Yea but you barely have protection There is a balance
Whenever I stumble upon videos titled like this it's either "destroys the boss with a couple of hits" or "almost destroys the boss with a couple of hits, but dies in a stupid way"
Let’s be real, the real boss in this fight is that opening in the floor behind you. My dumb ass died rolling back into that shit more than to the boss itself 😂
ds2 is my favorite, they make the areas a bit trickier at times because the bosses are typically easy. For example shrine of amana is awful and then you fight the frog demon its a joke boss with a hard area, but ofc theres difficult bosses too like fume and alonne
I finished ds2 and the three dlc (minus Frigid outskirts) this weekend I started thinking it would be the worst experience of my life I finished the game with the strong opinion of "this game is overhated, beautiful, easy and actually so good" Btw, I didnt knew about adp until Throne of Want (already did 2 dlcs and everything before the 3 last fights before) So I did pretty much everything at 6Adp, I died a total of 13 (7 to fume knight :c ) times to bosses when I finished the game DARK SOULS II FOR THE WIN
@JoshDoVids In my opinion Darksouls 2 plays more like a classic fromsoft game like Kingsfield. Fragrant branches of yore were originally from kingsfield and it plays like a dungeon crawler in the DLCs. Still in my opinion the best souls game but more classic.
Nonon yuo dont underStand i have pleyed a LOT of dark suls 1 & 3 and this roght here is a sign of BAD DESIGN. It has to bee bader hitbixes than this to be GUD like whoite butterfre from legendarry DS1 or shit grabs like dragussy also from GREAit DS1.

Love DS2, one of the most overhated games like ever. I will say though when replaying Fromsoft games DS2 always gives me most trouble ''to get in flow with'' when it comes to timing my rolls. Never understood why. 🤔
@Hakarasan Likely because the roll doesn't jump as much? Like on ds1 and 3 the fast rolls are basically jumping into the roll while in 2 your character doesn't jump at all so it's very jarring to go from 1 or 3 into 2

I enjoy Dark Souls 2 very much. I first beat original Dark Souls, but the sequel isn't worse in my opinion, even better to some extent.
I have high hopes for ds2, judging by how much everyone clowns on ds3 in comparison. ( still fucking love ds3, my opinion will not change)
Abhorrently difficult: just some rolls and some bonks... that's it :D
