Hey there Yea Forums, I'm gonna do a Soulsborne series playthrough! I've played every game before, so that means this time (you) get to decide on my builds for each game! Whatever the first posts will be I will do as my builds.
Also, I'm not playing DkS2
Also, post best weps.
naked, punch only
You have to tell me which game, user
DS1
Throwing knives only
DaS2

All of them

all of them
Bloodborne. Naked. Molotov cocktails only.
>Not playing DkS2
Lost interest.
DkS

Smells like new player.
Who plays DkS2 willingly lmao
contrarians
me if its SOTFS
>Ds3
This bad boy with heavy armor and cool guy spells
I'll try anons but I think I'm too casul for the naked punch item runs still.
Never did a faith build on DkS3 before. Thanks user.
SOTFS made the game objectively worse.
>I’m gonna do a Soulsborne series playthrough

Disregard
Me since it’s the best dark souls game
Dorhys' Gnawing is pretty good
its a good game if you don't suck at the series
Being bad at DkS2 has never held any meaning. They give you infinite healing and the bosses are piss easy anyway r1 spams anyway.
the only reason I ever hear people on this site bitch about 2 are the meme volcano and the amount of ambushes/mob encounters
>Also, I'm not playing DkS2
based
That kinda sound fun. Until you get to the bosses.
You're objectively retarded
and soul memory
and art direction
and downgrade
and having forgettable bosses
and having forgettable npcs
and having forgettable levels

>GREEN HOLLOWS
Best criticism tbdesu.
only twinkfags care about soul memory
art direction is definitely weaker but not a deal breaker
if you hated every game that got a downgrade you'd hate pretty much every AAA game in the last 5 years
a lot of the bosses suck but there's close to 40 so not all of them are going to be good, the dlc bosses on average were great
gavlan, benhart, vengarl, emerald herald and the dusty old cunts at the start are memorable
forgettable levels is subjective, but that fucking reindeer run to the double cat boss is impossible to forget about
stupid nitpick
yet people always forget about bonfire ascetics, the alternative progression that lets you skip the 4 big bosses before the castle, the hidden shortcuts, the superior pvp covenants, the ng+ differences, power stancing, and the attempts to un-fuck parrying and backstabbing
>only twinkfags care about soul memory
Wrong, it ruins area specific invasion characters.
>art direction is definitely weaker but not a deal breaker
Alone no, coupled with the next point it's pretty fucking bad.
>if you hated every game that got a downgrade you'd hate pretty much every AAA game in the last 5 years
That's not an excuse. Ds2 is honestly the worst example of a downgrade I can think of.
>Bosses
Quality > Quantity. I can count the amount of good bosses on one hand.
>gavlan, benhart, vengarl, emerald herald and the dusty old cunts at the start are memorable
Forgettable as fuck all pretty much lacking in basic questlines.
>forgettable levels is subjective
It's all subjective you fuck, the levels lack inter connectivity and shortcuts, in other words they're forgettable and bland.
No one's saying Ds2 didn't add anything. For every step forward they took 10 back. I'd easily trade all of those things you listed if they fixed the shit I listed.

Pretty mediocre for a Fromsoft dlc
I can count the amount of good bosses in dark souls 1 on one hand too but Yea Forums will fellate that game all day every day
every souls game has gaping flaws but dark souls 2 is the only one that consistently gets flak for them
You're right, they all have flaws, Ds2 has the most by a longshot. Almost everything feels low effort in comparison to its siblings. It doesn't get flak for nothing.
Use the weapon with the highest strength requirement in each game/best scaling and then only level strength.
I don't know what those are but as a general rule the higher the strength stat/scaling the more fun the weapon is to use.
