@@Lobsterwithinternet personally, i prefer ds2 over ds1 mainly because of how ds2 features even tho a lot of them didn't get used much. i mean a boss would change phase based on your armor, torches can light scones and it will permanently lit up, ambidextrous hands, bonfire ascetic, a covenant where you defend an area and can use traps. in the end, combat wise, it's acceptable at best but feature wise, i like it more than what others do, and level design wise, i don't think any levels in any DS could even top Shulva or Brume tower to be honest. but it ain't that big of a deal

@@Lucifronz I just recently played and got to NG+2 Drauglec castle (i wanted to kms so many times trying to get the last spells for the platinum trophy just so i didn't had to play DS2 never again), so i can express my current feelings about this because it changed massively about how i saw this game before and now. For me the worst area is Shrine of Amana and second Iron Keep, then Frigid Outskirts, Iron Passage then Cave of the Dead. The why is because these two first areas are 100% required to go through and are CBT both, and in NG+1 and beyond Red Phantoms start to appear everywhere, it made me feel so bad i had to avoid playing any souls until like next month because it truly felt miserable going through those areas 3 times in an row. Eleum Loyce is terrible to go through after getting rid of the storm because every place now is an gankfest with no purpose aside of making exploring feel horrible which in Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, Bloodborne rewarded you, here (and all of DS2 areas) punish you with more ganks and invasions, at least the Ivory King is an good boss, but needing to explore the entire place just to fight him is annoying. Frigid Outskirts is [-h-------------e----------------l----------p-] , Iron Passage the same and both have reskin bosses and one is an gank, so i am not denying that and Iron Passage has mages making you fatroll, nothing more needs to be said. Shulva Sanctum City has very annoying enemies with their shields and spears with cheap placements to kill you easily, but at least theres not that many that i can tile my roof with them like i would Alonne knights and ice spear golems, and it dosen't look that great, Both bosses aside the ganksquad are fine, but can be extremely annoying either by the weapon you have, or RNG with how many times the dragon jumps, or if she immediately summons Veldstadt . Cave of the Dead is Black Gulch 2.0, At least Black Gulch did not have enemies to attack you while being stunned by being poisoned and the boss is easy and has an bonfire infront of it , here it's an oneshot and the enemies are extremely annoying and you can be hit alot in the fogwall, and the boss is THE ganksquad, so thats terrible too. Brume Tower aside of the Brides of Ash and the dumb invasions, it's actually the best of the bunch because the enemies are managable if you want to fight them, and if you dont want you can go past them in several parts, although doors u do need to kill them unless you want it to be Iron Keep 2.0, the game does provide several ways to fight them compared to other places, Both bosses Fume Knight and Alonne the sole reason why i play the entire game in the first place, although having to do the entire game to reach both of them is extremely tiresome. So i would say you are correct in most stuff aside of Brume tower which that one felt the most fair to me (Iron passage kms kms kms kms), but everything else if it burns i wouldn't care the least

ds2 had issues but it felt weirdly nostalgic, even if you haven't played it before. just feels like a fever dream. the "too difficult issues" weren't the problem. once you know the damage mechanic its all get good at dodging and then attacking. its the too easy ones that make the game dreadful, especially when the mobs before it are way harder to deal with.

To be fair, the Asylum Demon is literally 3 of the bosses in DS1. FromSoft likes to reuse shit. The Taurus Demon is later a normal mob as you try to get to Bed of Chaos. I only played Elden Ring via Seamless CO-OP and DS1 is now my frist true FromSoft experience, but my impression is that reskins is kinda their thing in general. It is not a DS2 issue at all, it is a pattern of behavior.

the thing that always felt the most fun to me in ds2 was the ranged gameplay, the game gives you the most freedom as a caster than any other souls game, with items like the old iron king crown, playing as a high level hybrid hexer was the most fun i ever had as a ranged combat focused character, the game might be jank and objectively bad compared to all other recent fromsoft titles, and it also becomes clear why if you look at the development history, but i'll always still consider it a good game, and one that definitely has a special place in my heart

I agree on the most criticisms on this game but the take on ds2 fighting multiple mobs at once is the part where I somewhat disagree. This feature is intentional not to make the game hard but to change the repeated playstyle used in the previous game (basically circle strafing and lock-on habbit). This game focuses on how you will do crowd control while not relying on lock-on.

The combat may not be its strong suit with the hitboxes and the mob density, but what i like about the game a lot is the story and the atmosphere, especially in Majula. The world feels like it's closer to an age of dark than the other 2 games, and you can see it everywhere. where there were literal towns in ds1 and 3, there are only ruins left in 2, and all people you encounter are visibly going hollow. The blacksmith lenigrast is a green hollow because he couldn't follow his purpose as a blacksmith and despaired, and all others have already forgotten how or why they came to drangleic. some like maughlin the armorer and Lucatiel lose themselves as their quests progress. The king is a soulless husk. The fire keepers are retired cause even they lost hope and the emerald herald took over to guide the player instead, for selfish reasons. Drangleic castle only has a handful of knights remaining, with all other inhabitants being either dead or lifeless golems. Since Nashandra took over, the entire castle is wrapped in perpetual dark, fitting for a child of Manus. There are a lot more spells, even including an entirely new subclass of dark spells called hexes with their own scaling, since people like Felkin the outcast and darkdiver Grandahl who have a deeper connection to the dark have appeared. The power of the old lords has dwindled to a point where the bosses carrying them barely show them. The Lost sinner has an izalith parasite controlling her, the rotten is nito if he had flesh, just without any necromancy, seaths soul is with a giant mutant spider next to a petrified ancient dragon, and gwyns soul is with a king that burned in the lava of a volcano instead of the first flame. In ds1 and 3 i never link the fire except for achievements because it is against the natural flow of the world and because i hate gwyn with a burning passion for what he did to humanity, so having scholar of the first sin give you a new ending that has you break out of the cycle and free yourself from the curse of hollowing is a huge plus in my book. The bosses might not be particularly challenging, but neither were those in demon's souls. the two games have a lot of design similarities, like the difficulty focusing on areas rather than bosses, the movesets of weapons and parries or the hollowing being a less extreme soul form. what i especially like about ds2's weaponry is that you can buff weapons that have elements on them with spells regardless of the infusion, and that leveling weapons is comparatively cheap since it costs only a few titanite shards.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what Fromsoft was going for. The world is meant to feel like a distant memory you cant really distinguish. The repeated bosses, the NG+ enemy placement, the level design, etc. The world has started to shift (which is more explained in DS3). Everyone is going hollow, no one really know how things were. The rooms werent empty, the elevator didnt take you to magma. What's happening is, you *cant remember* what was in the room, you *cant remember* what was in between, so your brain just doesnt put anything there. In NG+, enemies are in new spots, and make you go "huh, was this here i dont remember it", *exactly* like going hollow. It's also meant to represent the story of DS1 repeats over and over, slightly different, but same overall story (which is also elaborated on in 3) As for the repeating bosses, etc, also intentional. They're easier because it's been done over and over already, they repeat sometimes as normal enemies because your memory fails and they blur together, some come from DS1 because of the cycle repeating showing you that it's just the same over and over and over. The ending is supposed to make you realize that what you choose is 100%, utterly and completely irrelevant, because everything will happen again. Yeah some of the arguments for the "DS2's design is intentional" are weak, but the thing is there's just too much to be an accident. And to me, if it's intentional, it's really genius. And I really believe it is intentional, it's very weird that FS would fuck up this bad unknowingly unless, like 99% of what they do, there's a meaning behind it.

Most of the game is connected logically. If the cope was true it’s done poorly because it should make it so areas are connected differently in NG+ too. But it doesn’t. NG+ adding enemies is just a way to make it less repetitive gameplay wise. It’s not that deep.

I have put more hours into D2, specially after the DLCs, then both others combined, not ashamed to admit it. Loved the story. Combat. It MADE fashion souls. Healthiest PVP imo. Only one i could never finish was Sekiro. I HATED the boss fights. Rest of the game was amazing. *Runs for cover!*

DS2 had three major flaws: 1: Estus chugging speed and rolling s are tied to the adaptability stat, in order to make it worth putting points in there they had to make the base values for those slower/fewer than previous titles, thus it feels awful to play at low levels and OP at high levels. 2: Lot of places to go but not much in them. 3: The teaser videos showed what looked like HDR lighting (see the knight with torch teasers), the released version had this taken out, so everything looked washed out, almost full bright and it showed off all the ugly textures.

DS2 is the definition of “it’s alright I guess”, the storytelling is really good though. DS2 had too many ideas and almost none of them landed, but the ones that did, REALLY landed. And the artificial difficulty that boils down to “this will take a really long time” is just tedious.

I personally liked DS2's DLC the most conpared to that of DS1 and DS3. DS2's DLC really improved a lot compared to the base game imho. However, each DLC still has its own annoying unnecessary bosses (gank squad, blue smelter demon, and tiger duo) lol.

Just finished Lords of the fallen with a friend. We got to the Bird boss in the ice area and we literally just sat in a corner together and waited for the girl to appear. One of us would go wack her real quick (it took like 2 hits at most) and we went back to our corner and waited again. and the final boss for the game was the most boring thing ive ever done.

Most of the things you mentioned are bad, and points against DS2. The world feels smaller than demons souls's (shout out to the final area that you can't access because of... a pillar that is one foot high, and that it magically disappears), the art direction is laughably bad (they outsourced most of the assets to third world countries, look it up), none of the npc quest made sense or fleshed out the world, lore, or the game philosophy (because the game at large doesn't have one, unlike DS1, bloodborne, sekiro, or elden ring). I'll give you that a lot of sets do look cool, and power stancing was a nice idea that they expanded wonderfully on elden ring. Majula is pretty neat too, though I personally prefer the nexus. The biggest downsides of the game for me, other than the terrible, terrible level and boss design, is the music and the animations, they look like PS1 level bad.

Many of the criticism about DS2 are facts, specially with level design, but with exception of reused bosses, asmon is sounding like a whiny noob to me, and if he things the two knights in the "small room" is too unbalanced, so that's disappointing, the boss is manageable pretty simple to beat. multiple enemies gank? oh don't be a weakling, long 2h sword with wide horizontal swing is just one of the ways to deal with this, waiting for the right moment to attack as it has always been in souls games. I started in DS2, then played some years later the DS1 game, though the same as people who played 1 and then 2, most DS1 bosses are easy when you already know how to play the game, some are even disappointing, although the designs in DS1 are much more interesting in general, that's the effect players had with DS2, they played it already knowing how Dark Souls combat works, it makes it a lot easier.

I get that Ds2 definitely has some major cons, but I feel that Dark Souls 1 set a standard in people’s minds of “what dark souls is” and Ds2 threw a curveball and changed a lot, and I feel that people took that harshly, and just shamelessly hated on the game for 2 majors reasons. 1. They never/barely played it and they’re mad they suck or are jumping on the bandwagon. Or 2. They played Ds2 with a standard in their minds, and when Ds2 didn’t meet those requirements in the way Ds1 did, they got pissy.

A lot of things he says about ds 2 can be said about all the other souls games as well. Like the thing about the knights attacks. There are pontiff knights in ds3 that have attacks that hit faster than a speeding bullet. Reusing bosses, the shinobi enemies in sekiro there's 4 of them plus regular mobs of them. The only difference between the 4 is uses poison, another has wolves and the last one has a regular shinobi aiding him.

Honestly as someone who’s played it to death there’s like two areas where you are forced to engage with anything and that’s huntsman’s copse because narrow platforms make it easy to get sandwiched and iron keep cause the enemies are close to your speed Otherwise you can probably pull enemies away from the fog gate before going in At least ds2 doesn’t have enemies able to cheap shot you through the fog gate Cough ELDEN RING Cough Fucking Niall and malikeths gates I always forget to walk forward and the. Get interrupted mid-summon like my rats are offensive or something xD The rats are great Live just long enough to let me do whatever I need breathing room for and it’s always a fun game of seeing whether theyll spawn right next to the boss or off in the next zip code The cockroach(kindred of rot) and the crystalian are also summons I like, cause they’re both about as annoying to the boss as the actual enemies are to you
