​@@Yes_Indeed-w7tim on the opposite scale, in what way is dks 1 more optimistic there is like one npc who belives in good things. While everyone else who spouts about the good is lying or directly benifted from genocide grinding the poor into blighttown. Ahh yes these people. Its like why millionares are the only people who see the current statuse quo as totalty acceptable. In dls1 the fact you can beat everything the world doesnt really care, murdered every npc no one cares. The world only cares on if you let the fire die, if you let the terrible statuse que continue or if you let it die. Meanwhile dks2 has a more personal stake you are trying to avoid going hollow, even the emerald herald and a handful of NPCs like you and see your way forward. Helping you when they can. Vs like soliar one guy.

​@@OfficialMetalhead this is the easiest souls game of all time i first try most of the boss and it's still dog shit (played sotfs) the boss are boring they have like 4 moov (no hite first try aldia lol) the only hard part is boss run

​@@victorprati7908they never come out bc bro always dashes lol. I've seen one ranged attack from him in 300 hours of ds2

@@luxiken6719 imagine actually searching up cheeses for a boss. He did the right thing.

Yea but maneaters are stupid

finally someone based

The difference is that the DS1 team recognized the problems with the maneaters and then updated the AI and gave them a wider area to fix said issues. On the other hand the DS2 team said ‘what if we just made them fight 3 instead of 2’

@@Steven-lz1vo there's 5 of them, but they're smaller and have very little health. DS2 gargoyles isn't too difficult for someone prepared, even a new player. I think the dislike for that boss came from the belfry luna being an invasion hotspot, making it a headache to reach them each time.

@@therealhecatonchires ‘ there’s 5 of them.’ That’s even worse

Tying s to a stat was a bad idea

​@castor Personally, I'm very mixed on ADP as a stat. For a positive, I think that being able to control how effective your roll is means that we can be as OP or as underpowered as we want to be. My biggest complaint is a lack of explanation given for the stat, and therefore making new players feel like it's resistance from DS1. If they had explained it at all, then I don't think it would be nearly as frowned upon.

Equip load is to reduce damage through armour wtf are you using it for?

You’re using it for POISE? WHY ARE YOU TRADING HITS TO BEGIN WITH WRYYY

or just get 20 str get a great shield and block instead of using ADP to dodge and you'll even spend less stamina doing that. Or get 16 str and higher vit and wear heavy armor and offset your bad rolls with mukbanging lifegems in heavy armor. Or increase Dex or int and and use range to minimise amount of being upclose to enemy. Or increase faith and cast some regenerating spells to offset damage taking. Like you have a choice like RPG games do, you know

By hiding away the best fights as optional side bosses? I agree. Darklurkers requiring int always makes me skip it

@@unsubme2157 It doesnt require int, even worse It require humanity

@@carlosgonzalezfernandez3806 maybe im misremembering, do you not need int so the dark guy will talk to you? Edit: nevermind i was confused with tge dark caster guy. I also learned that grandahl never talks to me because i have to find him 3 times, something i completely overlooked since back then

At least Elden rings bosses have good design...

@@alito8798 Only handful of them. Only main bosses, but some lose a bit since you fight their weaker versions earlier. So most of the bosses of elden ring are either crap or you have so enough of them.

@@michasokoowski6651 legit 90% of Elden Ring bosses are exceptional, if there weren’t copy’s of almost each one i’m sure we’d look at them very differently.

@@michasokoowski6651 That's an L statement

Except elden ring is actually fun...

I think its because Dark Souls 1 is...actually just not very hard. It's like a less forgiving Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I think it was only treated as 'hard' as it came out in an era of outstandingly easy games when every company was pushing maximizing accessibility and the (frankly easy) Legendary modes of the Halo games were considered 'extremely hard' (discounting Halo 2's jackal alley. That one is just hard. Unfun and hard.) But more Dark Souls 1 doesn't play like any of the others. All of the other dark souls didn't seem to design themselves around PUNISHING you for rushing past enemies, trying hard to force you to take things slowly and methodically, (despite actually being... a lot 'faster' than DS1?) DS2 also does things that none of the others do to a very large degree. I.E. Weapon Sweet spots matter hugely and assuming you don't have high adaptability, you need to think about the actual animation your character does. (this is why dodging to the side is often a bad move, as your legs stay WAY OUT for a long while, and a lot of the famous 'bad hitboxes' of DS2 are more, your s start differently and end before the animation is close to done, often meaning your toes are touching a sword blade.) Like, Dark Souls 2 is the easiest of the Dark Souls games overall, I think, because if you take it slowly, calmly, and know how to build, you'll do really well. Also, my original DS2 build, and part of why I'm so partial to the game was "I am going to use nothing but two handed crossbows. And Not use a repeater." It worked and it wasn't even painful. I even carried people through some bosses by just having a all adaptability, all stamina, all health char with only minimum stats for a sidearm (shortsword) and a light crossbow, and...nothing else. The whole game.

@@WereScrib You can run from everything in DS1, but what's intended is killing everything, but that dosen't mean you have to kill 30 enemies while archers and mages spamming from unreachable places that end up feeling like im playing Touhou instead of an Souls game.. There the encounters are designed so each one is intended (ignore the line of capra and taurus demons, and dragon asses, and dukes archives gets spammy like this but at least you can run). Using Crossbows is cool sometimes, but being forced to use it because of how with anything else that isn't magic gets you killed, it's not fun.

@@anstorner ...Dark Souls 2 is not easiest with crossbows or ranged weapons, TBH its probably easiest with straight swords like most souls games. Dark Souls 2 is just not a hard game in the slightest. I've beaten it with pure hand to hand, bows, crossbows, scythes, halberds, weird mixed builds, magic, etc. Nothing in the game forces you to use ranged options and while range is actually useful in it unlike most other souls games, it's not particularly advantageous. It's just more of a focus around dodging, positioning, and resource management.

@@WereScrib Shrine of Amana and Iron Keep does try to force you, unless you want to spend over 20 minutes dragging every single enemy away so every hypothetical mage and archers dont spam at you while doing so. Which i did, but i had fun doing it specially NG +2 with red phantoms everywhere?, No. Then later on i got an Magic build and the game was so easy that i was hollowing away of the boredom during NG+1 in both places.

​@@ramrodbldm9876 suprised you havent already😱

His hitbox is sus. Its far wider than it should be, on slams in particular

His backhand slap is bad, but the hitbox made me want to actually dissipate

exactly, at 35:00 you can see it visually connect. I mean Fume Knight is a giant ultra strong being, why wouldn't his backhand also deal damage?

Not entirely convinced that touched him either, but he definitely is punching back which is neat

That’s badass, I never realized rhat

Uhm no it's because the game is bad and not that I'm bad at the video game??

Its because he has hit boxes running up all the way to his shoulders that are so much disproportionately larger than the model You'd be forgiven for mistaking them as SpongeBob's Anchor Arms if they were ever visually enabled. This is incongruous with the rest of the series where the hit boxes are isolated to the weapon specifically and are shaved down to be almost perfectly to scale with the weapon model itself.

@@sasaki999pro Ds1 hitboxes are way worse.

Aside from adp, what do you actually dislike about the game (Boss dupes and repeating textures don't count lol)

@@DreadGB what i really dislike is the Boss dupes and repeating textures

@@Jahycore Understandable, have a good day

@@arturkey9084 That would be a good comparison if I said "Aside from the community view, what do you actually dislike about the Ds2 (Adaptability, boss runs and soul memory don't count lol)"

​@LukeGB _dread I just think it's weak compared to the other games of the series and it's bosses aren't very memorable it's more quantity over quality

Which on its own, isn't the worst idea, yet for some reason getting elbowed does the same damage as the sword even at the end of the attack which is just.. aggravating

People want a reason to complain about anything. Especially DS2

Ice Rapier is great with SL1. While you're at it, get the Bracing Knuckle Ring to make it last longer

@@shoobydooprobably because it’s a garbage game

​@@madmanpecoswow stop glazing so much on all the youtubers that trash on ds2 that crazy

@agostonbazmajer1100 Never said I was a DS2 fan; it's my least favorite Souls game. I only know about the Ice Rapier because before the superior DS3 arrived, I used to SL1 invade with that weapon and the ring that stopped soul acquisition (Soul Memory tiers is the worst mechanic). Just thought I would inform him he could have made the game slightly more palatable during his run.

That sounds like it would actually be more fun. On the other hand, seeing a level higher than 1 on my character screen is enough of a dealbreaker that I’ll intentionally diminish my enjoyment of the game for the sake of the challenge run.

Whats the point of making a superiority cake if you cant eat it too

I started a 50 Strength and 50 Vigor Dark Souls 2 run, so now I can smash everyone with my +10 Large Club while tanking some decent hits.

No sorry bud it's actually people finally saying "yeah the games good" and people that have a body pillow of miazaki can't stand that people enjoy something he didn't make Yes ds2 is the prolly the worst from game It still has tbe best fashion, build variety, atmosphere (that's very subjective tho) and ng+ The other games are pure gold, ds2 is silver. Not bad at all especially compared to other franchises but falls short of its brethren because it was trying new stuff

The thing I hate the most about this game is the absolute abysmal durability of all your weapons and other equipment. It's all so extremely brittle, so you can only get a very short use out of them before you're forced to rest back at a bonfire to automatically restore them before they completely break. This actually makes fighting other enemies on the way to a boss a liability, because your weapon could completely break before you manage to kill the boss, in which case you're totally screwed.

Another alternative title: Level Vigor to 50: The Solution

Just soloed him on NG+7 CoC. On NG he's a piece of cake if you stack magic defense. He starts by buffing his sword and as the fight gets longer he eventually ONLY deals magic damage. So a one shot (physical) in the early stages is just a fraction of that when he deals magic (and you have the gear to handle it). Also, if you try to roll as a reflex you'll get hit, he can adjust his delayed attacks at will, and on the fly. You need to watch how he moves, and contrary to Fire Smelter Demon, this one is better dealt with while locked off. All in all, a superb fight if someone has the patience to observe the differences with the Vanilla Demon. Also, beating Burnt Ivory King lets you use King's Crown to its full potential,no more hollowing/effigies. (Tho on NG+7 CoC that didn't made any difference 😂) On SL1 tho it was the only fight I had to summon, although i didn't know how to approach his moveset back then.

That runback gave mt ptsd

Honestly, in terms of runbacks, the Burnt Ivory King has arguably the worst "runback" in the game. It takes no less than 5 minutes to kill all his stupid guards and seal the gates, and everytime you die, you gotta do that BS all over again. At least with the COTD, or the Iron Passage or MOTOIK the runbacks are 45 seconds at worst.@@Jimmyvdpost

Blue smelter is a bullshit overatted boss. Even on a normal run

​@@matatertots536he's pretty widely hated, wdym

i don't understand how executioners chariot would at level 1 would be bad, just use the chariot to kill the skeletons and be patient taking down the necromancers.

Yay that spot were you have to drop where the giants are and I think 1 of the dudes to get to dark lurkers down there but I can't remember but finding that without a guide is almost impossible, even messages seem like tricks cause it's so dark and just doesn't look like it's possible. At least feeble makes mistakes sometimes but that proves that he doesn't just Google stuff and get strats that way, he must go in blind which is pretty cool.

@@BaxBoogey22 you don’t need to drop down at all. Walk along the edge until you find a stone dude blocking a cave, use branch of yore and there’s your bonfire. The drops are only for dlc, lucatiel, and hex guy/darklurker Also no, he googled a build. No way he just knew about the Vessel shield and the chain ring hidden in the DLC, he even comments on this when he grabs the shield saying his build is complete

@@ToastUrbath really you don't have to drop down in that dark a spot to get there like I knew you can get to the bonfire but I know like right when you come in the level with all them poison statues to the right where you would never look it's so dark like there's a little tiny legs you can drop down and on to get to them two big ass Giants they're harder than anybody else in the game but yeah I didn't know you could just get there by using a fragrant branch of yore I thought that just took you to the bonfire I didn't know it would take you to that cave also but yeah if he did use a guide Idon't blame him I can't imagine doing a level-one run with no I frames that would be horrible he gets a lot of stuff wrong but his sense of humor makes up for it so I don't care he's just funny I think dark souls 2 is a lot better than people say at least it was creative and tried to do stuff different even if everything didn't work out but you know it's actually got some decent mechanics the people don't like but their mechanics to actually challenged you more and the pvp was awesome one time I was AFK and I came back and somebody'd casted all these crazy spells all over my character they were to making all these colors they put a bunch of prism Stones down and they dropped me like six effigies, it was cool as fuck. I'll never forget it.

Dark Souls 1 conveyed this exact same message, but ultimately did it in a reasonably fair and balanced manner with regards to leveling up stats, upgrading your equipment, and exploring to find new items. Dark Souls 2 is just completely cheap and unfair, and every mechanic and feature in it was intentionally designed to screw you over as much as possible.

Why should a free hand deal damage? That’s still terrible design, only intentional instead of accidental. If they’re going to do that, they might as well make the walking animations deal damage as well.

@@grannytorrelli2560 I'm not protecting the game design here, I just wanted to mention that it's not a broken hitbox of his sword.

I agree, literally the only areas I enjoy in Ds3 are in the DLC

That explains why I like DS1 less. DS3 does bosses better and DS2 does levels better, so really the only thing that DS1 did better was the interconnectedness. Now, I love DS1. Just slightly less then the other two

@@elk3407 I agree, with Ds2 the areas themselves feel like challenges to overcome, whereas with the other two they feel more like preludes/accompaniments to the boss

@@elk3407see- THATS the kind of analysis on DS1 that I can get behind. It’s a classic for sure but DS1 dick riders act like DS2 is an irredeemable pile of shit and it’s just not true. Every time Feeble brought up Quelaag my eyes rolled- it’s like, “how could I not see it before? They’re obviously copying Quelaag and yet NOT copying her at the same time, and so DS2 is both original and unoriginal at the same time! This game bad!” Like holy shit guys, there’s 48 bosses. The Lord Souls are the first half of gameplay, there’s more to this game, give it a damn chance

I dunno. I liked the Undead Settlement and Irythil Dungeon more than any zone in DS2, and Archdragon Peak is close to the best in DS2. And, if I had to pick one, Farron Keep is probably my favorite poison swamp, if such a thing could be said to exist.

I play it on PS5 and Forlorn invades, it’s not just PS3.

I just used the Twin Dragon Greatshield with a +3 Club, and alternated between blocking and getting a strong attack in at the end of his combo.
