![The Iron Keep Incident - Dark Souls 2 SOTFS First Playthrough [2]](/img/tr.png)
I'm relatively new to gaming. I started playing games last year, and my first intro to souls-like games, at the age of 50, was Lies of P. Then I picked up DS1 earlier this year, and now I'm playing DS2 SOTFS. I'm not particularly great at them but I do enjoy them. I thought DS1 was relatively easy in general compared to my experience with Lies of P, but I would say that I feel the levels are harder in DS, but bosses are easier.
DS2 SOTFS, as I am playing as a sorcerer, I like the mechanic that they allow you to grind out enemies if you're finding an area particularly difficult to get through without running out of spells etc. I know people frown on things like that, but for someone newer to gaming, it's very helpful in allowing me to enjoy the game without being too frustrated. I'm going through Huntsman's Copse right now.
That's awesome! My wife and I are playing through all of the souls games chronologically and we're currently playing DS2 right now too. I've played them all before but she hasn't. I'm also running a sorcerer and she's a pyromancer/cleric. I couldn't agree more about grinding out enemies. It's a choice for the player to make and I like that it's there. Good luck with Huntsman's copse and onward! I hope the chariot doesn't give you too much trouble. 😁
@shaedric5733 I beat the chariot and the Coveteous demon. Now to finish Earthen Peak. I have gotten to a point that I do ok through most areas and don't get too discouraged if I lose enough souls for 2 levels 🤣 I just wish I could figure out how to turn off my wifi after I start the game. Npc invasions I do ok to, but I die every time to player invasions and that's where I get frustrated.
@@MakingLemonadeFromLemons Yeah that's where I get frustrated too. I have hundreds of hours in these games and I still suck at PvP. 😅
I think players can only invade you if you are in human mode (If your skin looks normal). If you are in hollow mode (your skin looks like a zombie's) all online stuff (invasions and co-op) should be disabled. To go into hollow mode, I think you just need to die once. And to go back into human mode you use a human effigy item or I think beating a boss also makes you human again. Hope that helps.
We're co-op'ing the whole game so we're always in human mode. Thankfully we've gotten pretty good at teaming up against invaders though.
👍
People like to hate on DS2, but it did have some good ideas, even if they weren’t executed in the best way. I’d love to see another mechanic like bonfire ascetics or like tendency from DeS.
Tendancy is horrible, ascetics I could take in to other games for sure
So true. Also huge exploration value with several locations available from the start, two "key items" like lockstones and branches (you have no idea what you'll get). More interactive world due to shenanigans with physics (liquids included), torches with secrets. I cannot but appreciate it after DS 3 which is the safest stuff in the series, but high-grade as hell
Well its not so great but still playable and its dark souls
lets NOT bring world tendency back 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
There are many Pros and Cons about that DS part but the aestetic Bonefire is still genius ;)
Ascetic*
👍
I love your DS2 playthroughs! I know part 2 is not the ultimate fan favourite, but i love the game. :)
DS2 may not be the best soulsborne game, but it's still a great game. Love Aldia's questline and the reveal that Gwyn linking the flame was the first sin.
Also "A LIE WILL REMAIN A LIE" is the hardest single piece of dialogue in the entire series.
For me it’s the best just my opinion tho
I`ve waited sooooo long for this
And I already LOVE it :D
Oh god, I've already lost it on "this looks the most divious" and there is like 6 more hours to go. So far feels like an awesome stream. Thanks Aggy ♥
Man do I miss this game. I'm still sad the vanilla servers shut down. RIP the best pvp
GG man. We all have that one boss that scared us, before playing the games. I can’t believe you started with killing smough, that’s super impressive! I always just bait out Ornsteins run attack, and kill him first.
2:30:30 the purpose is to support mr Skellington. Encourage him not to give up.
Scholar is my fav
bro started skipping bathroom breaks in vods, now I can't go pee
LiLAggy when is the HiFi Rush stream coming?
hey aggy have you considered to stream ghost of tsushima on PC?
He actually talked about it an a stream and said its very unlikely
There’s likely too many walkie talkie missions for Aggy.
But is there any triple A on the list?
@@rofiqoclayomanda8633 Not that I’m aware of.
Got half way thru the 2hr video and was like oh no i need the full experience. Just for flak ds2>ds3= ladle/dragon bone fist
17:50 first time hearing this one 😭
I think the sound goes off every time the stream gets raided
They say its really nice 🎉🎉🎉
Buh lookin like escanor from SDS
41:48 if you wanna see comment about cat’s feet
People love to hate on DS2 when they have only played SOFTS.
You mean definitive release, that devs said is how it intended to be played. With updates and dlc's included
@@AlexAndriy1995The second part, yes. The first part, no.
I truly enjoyed what little of ds2 I played
ds2 scholar was my 3rd souls game (bloodborne -> ds1 - ds2 scholar) & of the dark souls trilogy its still my personal favorite, i find it mechanically the most fun to play. i also think of the 3 it has the best story, too. when i first played it i expected to hate it because everyone else seems to, but truthfully you could give me an itemized list of everything worth hating & i dont think id understand. i dont even think its "good, but not at the standard ds1 created", i think its better than ds1 by a longshot & far more interesting than ds3.
but ive been wrong before, im ok with having the wrong opinion.
Someone needs to steal Fume Knight, Sir Alonne & Darklurker fights and put them in better game. Nioh 2 kinda took Pursuer so its good enough for now. And Lies of P reused some stuff
This game is overhated, but definitely the worst of the trilogy imo
In my honest opinion Ds2 isnt bad game its just worst of the souls game best thing in ds2 apart from other souls games is power stance
I still cant understand how people geniunely says this is the best dark souls. Yeah its not that bad compared to industry. But it is definitely the worst souls of all. So many broken hitboxes. İframes tied to a stat. Crazy slow estus. Boss paths are insanely long and full of enemies. So many bullshit enemy placement for you to take damage just because you didnt know it is there before hand. Also so many bad bosses. Other than pursuer ı dont recall any good boss (besides dlc's ofc. DLC's are good). The only good thing it has is the combat tweaks they added which they also used in elden ring. But without the elden ring movement it really lacck of uses against enemies and bosses. So they only matter in PvP which I dont care.
I still don't understand how people like you genuinely believe them. I like ds3 more than ds2 but I'd rather play ds2 over ds3 simply because I have more places to go which also helps with build variety but the earlier fork you can encounter in ds3 is dancer which is a skill check in a game that's already not as explorable as ds2.
I still like ds3 more but not how linear it is. When I watch a lets play, 90% of the players will fight vordt and go the same route for most of the game. My biggest issue with ds2 are its broken hitboxes, I can easily forgive everything else in the game but that, I'd hit a mimic chest, go behind it so I don't get caught in it's biting animation and put a chests worth of distance between us but I'd teleport in its mouth when it does its animation because some dev didn't care enough or even played their own game to know that that is actually unfair and a bug
@@rokudodamaza Chat really said "ds2 has the best pvp" after the fight with sill billy. People are just crazy.
@@rokudodamaza Another one said gutter is the best location in all of series like BRO.
@@bugra-yildirim People have their own opinions, I won't be surprised if someone says Pinwheel is their favourite boss or Ds1 is the worst souls game. I couldn't care about pvp in the slightest of the slightest however I did see content creators playing more ds2 pvp than ds3 before elden ring came out
DS2 is better than DS3 and bloodborne. come at me.
