    The main reason for the problems DS2 has is also because Bandai Namco gave Fromsoft only a year and a half to develop it. this is primarily the reason why the game has so much cut content as well.

      The lack of content isn't even the underlying issues though. Enemy placements and overall just unfair gameplay all around. FromSoft at the time was riding the dark souls is hard so they did every BS thing possible going against Miyazaki's quote that DS is difficult but fair. DS2 has a death counter in its hubworld. * Edit I'd argued enough already about this years ago. Go cope somewhere else the death counter speaks volume of what their game philosophy in that game + Iframes being locked into a stat you have to specifically research.

    Something Dark Souls 2 had which I wish they kept are the Bonfire Ascetics. Letting you skip to NG+ in certain areas to get new loot and re-fight the bosses was a genius idea.

  • @LosoaII
    @LosoaII 2 місяці тому +505

    In retrospect of it all. I kind of love DS2's theme the most. Every character who kind of gets the whole cycle of the world looks at you and thinks right off the bat "Yeah you're nothing. Just another guy throwing their undead life away to an unachievable goal, and even if you do take the throne, you'd just be another squanderer that lives and dies just like the other kings." ....And yeah. They ain't wrong. It's all pointless, going through all that bullshit led to nothing.
    And then Aldia fucking jumpscares you to scream his seethe about the reality of the world. Then hints to you that there could be something more. Something that can actually be done, if you're willing to commit to the bullshit.
    And then you do the DLCs and they're fucking hard as shit, but by now you do it knowing there's a real ending beyond this, a goal that is tangible and only obtainable by doing all said bullshit.
    And in the end of it all...There actually is. A true release from the curse of undead. Unknown to the rest of the world except to you, the one that willingly did what was needed to earn it (translated to fighting and killing big boss monsters and gank squads)
    idk I just kind of look at it like that.

      Gower's ring was neat.

      Ugh maybe I'll have to try it again. I've beaten 1, 3, and elden ring multiple times. I've tried ds2 probably 5+ times and never finished it bc it's just so annoying. The vibe of ds2 is fantastic, but it just didn't have the world connectivity of ds1, and while it adds so much cool stuff, it also adds so much BS that I couldn't overlook. The best part of ds2 (that I've heard) is the ng+ which I've never gotten to, and vibes, which only got me to want to play it, until I figure out why I quit. Which I might find out again soon lmao

I don't remember if it was just the adaptability thing, but I vaguely remember people hating that it didn't feel like a FromSoft game, they hated the healing animations, and that the PvP was really janky, even for a souls game, due to the backstab mechanics and connection issues.

    BTW This is for Charlie and any other DS2 Enjoyers that may not know, you actually have another way you can kill this boss in.
    First like Charlie, you can run to the lever which makes them hit the gate and crash you you fight the horse.
    The other one I prefer, literally just find a way to hit if while it is racing towards you, you can do it with bows or Spells, you can even hit it with a meele weapon, although it's much harder and will likely hit you.
    After you gets it's health to around 25%, the boss misses the jump in front of the gate and falls, then you just run to it, give it a little push of the edge and you win.

    DS2 has my favorite Guts build. None of the other games come close. Not only are enemies trying to gank you all the time, but you need the throwing dagger, the fire bombs and the repeater cross bow to look cool as shit while getting ganked. Dodging attacks and throwing daggers and stunlocking enemies and what not. And the different stances as well. Some of the terrain requires you to be super nimble with a big sword.
    My favorite is invading a guy who has a summon where I proceed to do a 2v1 on shaky terrain.

    - BEST PvP and invasions

    - Most build diversity before Elden Ring. Even after Elden Ring, DS2 holds its own for having actually viable builds. You could play with magic, miracles, hexes or any weapons and perform well. DS3 for example made it IMPOSSIBLE to make a miracle based build until NG+ or extreme late game/dlcs.
    - God tier fashion
    - Incredible aesthetics
    - A lot of unique ideas, like rewarding players for feats such as completing the game without resting on bonfires
    - BEST NG+ with a lot of new addictions, making it more than just "play it again but this time it's harder"
    Not a game without flaws, but in my opinion an excellent game that can definitely keep up with other souls games

    The reason you only here negativity at first is because it was a different then the first one. Dark Souls 1 was always hard for me to beat, but with Dark Souls 2 I thought it was easier. Not everyone felt the same, so when I finished Dark Souls 2 back around the released date. I was shocked to hear Pewdiepie himself say Dark Souls 2 is hard, that's really what boils down to this scenario. You don't switch up the sequel, like that new Joker movie.

      Because it was easier. You have basically infinite number of healing items and healing mid-combat is easier.

      ​@@Abedeussnot to sure about that the amount of people crying because this game ganks you back to back to back leads me to believe this game is harder than people try to let on. Dark Souls 1 and 3 were easy because it's a 1v1 majority of the time. It also allows you to study the moves easier rather than fighting a boss and 5 of its henchmen running around attacking you at a distance.
      It also does a lot of random BS that are instadeaths.

      ​@@TallicaMan1986The thing is that DS2 is incredibly easy and incredibly hard. It is not mutually exclusive.
      If you buy gems after every boss and focus ADP investment then you will most certainly have a baby game easy mode as you tank any environment and additional given Bonfire Astetic (definitely spelled that wrong) you can farm easy bosses and then skip half of the game no cheats or glitches required.
      On the flipside if you attempt to play it like any other Souls game you are immensely oppressed by the noxious gank and annoyingly long travel to the bosses since the bonfire is a few states away from a smelting demon or a singing skeleton frog.
      These are objective truths that nobody likes to admit but clearly anybody who played has experienced.

      ​@@icycrusader1947if you played like any other souls game you will never get ganked, the only times i can remember of actual ganking in the game is the room full royal knights before the ruin sentinels and all the double wielding ghostlike knights in the Sunken king dlc which you need to find their armor to made them tangible so you could them and those armor happen to be in a room guarded by more knights

    I love Dark Souls 2 SoTFS, it is unfair as fuck in that version but so rewarding when you get through that shitty section you’ve been stuck on. So many cool mechanics (besides adaptability) that were only used here until Elden Ring. All the areas are unique and beautiful in their own way and it really wasn’t that hard as people make it out to be. I platinumed or 1000/1000 achievements with my one character all the way on playThrough 3 without every leveling up adaptability. I didn’t know what it was because I didn’t want to spoil myself by looking anything up. So of course I played this game in extra hard mode.

      DS1 doesn’t “require” you to level resistance to progress. also most times it feels jankier than DS1. Still like the game though but damn is it like being smacked with a wet rag.

    I’m so glad I STARTED with DS2 as my first Souls game because I really liked it a lot and I am so glad my personal opinions and views weren’t influenced/tainted by the community so I can give it a fair shot. But yes after playing the other games, they are indeed superior in many areas but I still stand behind DS2 being a very good Souls game

    DS2 wasn't my first, but it still holds a special place in my heart. I played it right after entering uni during 2020 lockdown and it felt like a dream. Or a fairy tale that you hear in your childhood and remember only some bizarre bits and pieces. DS 2 probably gave me the same warm feeling that OG Zeldas gave to 90's kids
    I will die on the hill of defending it, at least its vibes and art direction
