Dark Souls 2 is a good ga-

Love how DS2 weeded out all the brainlets

LE SHOCKWAVES ARE LE TOO HIGH IQ FOR ME :((((((

Is a good game, yeah. The worst of the souls games but still a good game.
I know a lot of Yea Forums thrives on hating things but if someone genuinely thinks DS2 is horrible, I can't see them liking 1 or 3 very much. They aren't so different that you can think one is one of the best games ever and the other is shit

>>WTF WHY DO I HAVE TO LEVEL UP MY ROLLING IN AN RPG

Dark Souls 1 already had a stat for that, Endurance (roll type and the type determined your iframes). DaS2 fucked it up by splitting rolling into Endurance (roll type) and ADP (iframes while rolling).

Thank fuck 3 removed ADP

>complaining about this when you know you need to level up your ADP to get better i frames
And this my friend, is why the next From Software game won't even be a rpg. Thank you so much to all The DaS2 haters out there.

I only found out after beating the game because DaS2 does a piss poor job explaining what the fuck ADP does.

The RPG mechanics in the Souls games were holding them back.

Can't wait to clap to the credits rolling on the next Miyazaki masterpiece again!

holy shit, you faggots need some air

theres a diffrence between a stat smartly allowing you to wear heavier gear therefor giving you a better roll with it on, and it just straight up giving you some more iframes

ds had the best armor system, only game where your weight actually mattered . they just needed to lower some high level armor wight stats and it would of been perfect.

Unironically one of my favorite things about it. I loved all the emphasis on knights.

>literally no point in replaying it
The people who need muh builds to replay a game are stupid as fuck. The point of a game is how good it plays, not dress up time. Sekiro has better gameplay than any Souls game and part of why is no RPG mechanics.

ds2 is such hit garbage theirs literally nothing elae they can do.

ds3 isnt much better but at least ir has better levels, bosses, difficulty, and its more fun than ds2 enemy spam

lmao they threw so many dudes in a single room they had to add a mechanic that let a few despawn after a few tries

DS2 and 3 are both better than 1. Take off your fedora.

>Nightmare Creatures.
nightmare creatures is fucking great fuck you

Its a good game but it has no business having better movement and animations than a game in the Souls series.

>how good it plays?
Gameplay wise its even the weakest fromsoftgame

No new weapons
no builds
no high intense milisecond jump attacks into an enemys spear
no roll attack swings
no powerstance
no amything
its just parry also Built around fucking stealth, the most boring shit

sekiro is baiscully a fucking rythem game
parry, parry, parry, parry, JUMP, parry, one health bar gone, repeat

sekiro is over hyped garbage that people are going to start turning agaist in 2 months from now, tops

OP here. How do you make webms with good quality on Yea Forums? lol I can't do it.

Based esl retard. Who hurt you? Ogre? Bull?

literally just not true, i started darksouls with 3 and went back to play the rest. DS1 is just the best fromsoft game, period. and even then half of ds1 levels were absoulute shit, but that says more abour the franchise if anything

All 3 of them are shit user.

This.

No wonder it's an Activision game

Gameplay wise its by far the most involved game they've ever made that isn't Armored Core. The gameplay is more than dodge using i-frames and hit the enemy when he's recovering from a telegraphed swing, which is more than one can say about Dark Souls.

>ESL
At least he knows a second language. You can't even write in your first language.

Lol thinking sekiro is hard, when most people are just playing it wrong. even fucking journals were beating it in 15-40 hours

people are trying to have fun with dodging and getting in good hits and losing. Until they figure out its just boring ass parry shit with the once ina wjile jump away. then its easy peazy

It's really funny seeing all these mongoloid Souls fags tearing eachother apart desu.
DaS1, DaS2 and DaS3 are all garbage. Sekiro, DeS and BB are the only good games From have made in the last 10 years.

How long did it take you guys to figure out about ADP/AGL affected i-frames? Did you figure it out or did you look it up?
It took me until my third character which I started as an explorer with to figure it out.

no its instead parry and jump away when you the see red Notifcation until you win

Parrying too much will break your posture, jumping away from stabs will often fail. Sounds to me like you got filtered because you couldn't grind or get easy mode gear.

You said the same thing about BB. Just accept the fact that Soulstrash is dead and stop crying already.

I would agree if literally spam tapping guard didn't auto parry everything and the timing was stricter. The game would be better if deflecting wasn't so easy and you had slightly more guard posture to compensate. As it is now deflect spam just replaced roll spam.

???
Bb sold like shit dude

It was on my first character when I died to Smelter Demon like 10 times; I was on a knight and if I goof’d once it was crazy hard to find a nice spot to sip. Saw a post here about ADP, gobbled some souls and put like 15-20 points in that bitch. Smelter rarely hit me and when he did I had enough time to roll after an estus.

ADP is the weirdest difficulty settings I’ve seen in a game.

Its not a bad game, but it does nothing better than any other game in the franchise.

This is 100% truth. Once I realized virtually everything in the game was about the bad parry system the difficulty went out the window. It's like they specifically made this game to try and break the combat formula from DaS3 and BB, but forgot to make it better and instead made it less interesting.

imagine being this fucking ridiculously overleveled

proves its literally just not boring ass parrying
by showing a video of just boring ass parrying

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

THE STATE OF BUYERS REMORSE FROM SEKIRO FAGS

"Hes not falling for the ruse"
"time to deflect harder"

But souls is just roll into enemy every time you see it do anything?

That video was addressed to the guy who said parrying doesn't break posture. Not the seething DaS2fag who got filtered (you).

i dont even like ds2
even shitiro is better than that
regardless is still just proves its boring ass parryig the game

ds also has more wepaons, builds, pvp, coop, more intresting setting, better charaters

also its more fun to roll and get a big swing off then hit parry nonstop until you win

You can't just spam parrying without your posture getting broken, if you played the game you'd know that. I bet you're too scared to play an actually challenging game without summoning people to play the game for you like a cuck.

do you have actual retardation?

Just hold guard for five seconds

the bosses still fucking do the thing after a combo where they wait, u fucking retard

I fucking beaten sekrio btw, butterfly took 3 tries
its parry the game, once you get that down. its literally easy streak, u absoulute retard

I just laid it out for you. BB was classified as a success. It won't be long until we hear something new coming out of the IP.

Even butterfly will hit you if you stand there guarding for five seconds. You have to actually be aggressive in Sekiro, I can see why a passive bitch like you would get filtered by it.

it sold 2ish million
why do you think it was giving out for sony free game a month program only a year-2 after release?
it literally wasnt worth the money to make

Massive cringe desu.

I like Dark Souls 2 because:
>You actually have to commit to actions. When you swing there's an obvious weight to it that leaves you open. When you Estus it isn't instant. When you block the shield has start up times and ending times depending on its classes.
>Positioning is more important than rolling if you want to maximize performance.
>There's a ton of content that can be done in different order almost every playthrough, leading to massive build diversion. Whenever I play through this game with a friend we always end up with different armor, weapons, and items, even if we start at the same time with the same class.
>DLC content is god like, and basically a test of your build's mettle. On top of that, all of the items in the DLC are game-changing and unique, allowing for early DLC rushes for great early game builds or opening up NG+ builds to make the game fresh.
>Stats actually matter. Weapons have steep requirements and stats actually directly impact you character's ability to perform actions. Building a quick dodging character means you play like one and building a tanking wall means you play like one. This also makes quality builds less powerful and diverse, while buffing focused ones.
>Invading actually required you to PvP regularly, you couldn't just sit in an area and spam invade endlessly. If you wanted to Invade regularly you had to diversify the way you played the game, which kept cheesing faggots at bay and made actual invaders have a better time doing a mix of arena, farming, and invading.
>Coop actually does something outside of making the game a complete joke. A lot of bosses get new abilities, there's a small Soap for shades.
>Multiplayer in general is refined and not an afterthought. Every covenant was useful. Every covenant was unique. Every covenant had good rewards.
>Respeccing, Ascetics, NG+ features, and DLC Co-op areas make it the best and most dynamic gameplay experience of an action-adventure game I've ever played.

did you actually think you made a point by posting this webm, user? You absolute fucking retard,

>wepaons,
That share the same 5 sets of animation and mostly play the same, play Monster Hunter if you want to talk about weapon variety
>builds, pvp, coop,
Sekiro is not souls
>more intresting setting, better charaters
Opinion
Sekiro has better core combat (can cancel animations, different tools and arts), actually challenging bosses and minibosses and good animations unlike other fromsoft games.
>Hold guard
So you didn't do a No Kuro's charm run?

Are you guys dense or this hard shilling?

It takes like 5 seconds to fully heal your posture, you dont have to do to all at once either
just press for 2 and get half back, and bosses still do the thing after a combo where they just chill for awhile

How in any way is ds2’s gameplay better than 3’s?

Can we all at least agree that Soulsfags are cancerous as fuck? BBfriends and Sekirobros are much better.

how the hell do you expect new IPs to sell as well as an established one that's a multiplat to boot?

they were giving BB away on ps+ 3 years after release

But base das2 is shit, it was so bad i skipped the dlc entirely

What the fuck is wrong with you, dude?

>giving actual reasons and arguments of just calling some an incel

It's easier, I'll give you that. You get free npc summons even for shit easy bosses like the twin dragon riders.

I've only played the original Das2 on ps3 and thought it was a insult to its predecessors

just face it, it's a shit game

Getting to the dlc was a lot easier in the vanilla. The fucking key to the sunken king dlc almost made me quit my agape ring run because I had no arrows and those 2 giant mother fuckers that give you the key have the most bullshit hit boxes in their weapons out of all the enemies in the game.

you type like a nigger

AAA
biascully ps4 actual launch title, and first game worth having
massive name like fromsoft

sold like garbage
"y-y-you cant expect it to sell well"

you debate like one retard

>a high profile AAA game
BB isn't a high profile AAA game, you idiot. No souls game is. Besides, you're talking about a niche game (relative to the normalfagsphere) that isn't even multiplat. Had previous souls games been Sony IPs, they would've suffered the same sales. But seeing how Sony reacted to how well it did, it's certainly not out of the equation that they would bring FROM back in for other jab at the IP. This has been a classic arc for many new IPs, as they start off with surprising, but still relatively low sales in the first entry.

I think ds2 fags have genuinely shit taste
that game is lords of the fallen tier

>Cause your shilling for a bad fucking game retard
When did I ever defend DaS2/DaS3?

>only third world esltards defend DaS2 on Yea Forums

dark souls 1 didnt have low sales
wheres rhe excuse there?
niche game, new il, Apprently not AAA
(which is bullshit if a game can have billions of dollars in ads its AAA if anything BB has more right to that than anythig else.)

and theres Millions upon millions of ps4's sold and only like 3 percent own bloodborne, fuking out of here with if it was multiplat it would sell well fucking lol dude.

deflect harder
ds2 and 3 sold better and will be fondly remember far far far past the time sekiro and bloodborne are forgotten

I wasn't even debating, just pointing a fact

>dark souls 1 didnt have low sales
Because of DeS' existence, there were already an established consumer base. Otherwise, it would've been considered jank shovelware, just like how DeS was first perceived.

>still haven't played DaS3, BB, or Sekiro yet
I have choice for BB, but should I just get the other 2 on ps4 as well for

try BB out

Sekiro sold 2 millions copies in 10 days. It will outsell DaS2 and 3.

I have no choice*

get them on pc but play bb first so the silky smooth cinematic 25fps doesn't taint your view of it

das sold less on ps3 than BB has over the same time

I don't think DaS2 and 3 are remembered just as well as DaS1 and BB, my dude. In fact, these (BB and DaS1) are the only two souls games that are consistently ranked higher by the public.

??????
an extreamly niche title that sold to baiscully noone somehow made dark souls a massive success?
but blooborne going off of froms last work a massive success and name alone means it doesn't give it a massive legup to sell well?

stop fucking coping like fr
bloodborne sold like shit and wasnt worth the money it took to make

most sales are within the first few weeks and ds3 sold more during that time

we will see in a year where it stacks up, on the bright side it already beaten bloodborne lmao

dark souls also wasnt getting hard carried by a brand like soulslike and still did alright just on ps3

Yes, that's absolutely true, you dense retard. Word of DeS got out for being a gritty and hard ARPG to the western audience when people started importing the game and streaming it. This steadily grew an already engrossed fanbase. From the money they from the title, FROM set out to do bigger with DaS1, with even more over the top promo material, advertising it as a hardcore gaymer experience. I think you're the one coping.

No it didn't. For one, I doesn't have "Souls" in the title for BB, does it? Also this and the fact that it's an exclusive.

DaS III's bonfire placement is fine, people just have an autistic aneurysm over the mandatory boss bonfire spawns that ended up humorously resulting in two bonfires being within visible distance of each other.

why do you think they didnt pay from to make sekiro an exclusive

Adaptability is unironically great and forces you to play a role, i.e. heavy armor means you can't have infinite i-frames or roll around like an autist
The rolling length system is great
All the different stats and spices means you can fine-tune your character
It's more of an RPG than any previous game in the series
It's comfy as shit
Lots of content - not all of it is amazing, but all of it is serviceable and not explicitly painful like some of the overtly-annoying shit thrown at you in games like DS3
PvP is fun and it's easy to connect to people
There's just so much to do
There's something like 5 or 6 different paths you can take right at the early game, so every playthrough starts differently

cope

Literally nobody ever said that.

Boss bonfires were some kind of mandatory thing for whatever reason. Grand Archives was likely designed before they settled on the bridge for DSA. Not to mention, almost all boss arenas are considered unique, non-invadable areas and GA needed an intro bonfire like most areas.
The DSA bonfire couldn't function as that.

All Dark Souls games are good!

Though I feel DS3 has the weaker gameplay out of the 3.

Write coherently, dumb nigger. Without DeS, DaS1 would be considered jank shoverlware at first glance. Everyone knows this, except for newfags.

>Adaptability is unironically great and forces you to play a role, i.e. heavy armor means you can't have infinite i-frames or roll around like an autist
Precisely why I preferred DS1 weight systems, but it was way less abstract, far more intuitive. Knowing the exact weight points wasn’t clear but it was infinitely more clearer then ADP.
It was also just something I’d dumpstat because I was a big fan of going physical. Not as fun as figuring out if I’m in a fast rolling/skippy mood, or a medium rolling/strutting mood.
>There's something like 5 or 6 different paths you can take right at the early game, so every playthrough starts differently
While not as early this us why I loved DeS. Christ just gimme a sequel Atlas.

If you had more adaptability, you wouldn't have taken damage
Splitting equipment load and i-frames into their own stats was a godlike decision; it means you can't just stack endurance to use Havel's Armor and fast roll
If you wanted to use heavy armor, you'd have to sink into Vitality, which meant you couldn't sink into Adaptability, which meant you actually had to block / tank hits with your armor because dodging was not as useful
If you decided you wanted to use light armor, you didn't have to sink into Vitality, and could use Adaptability to play to the strengths of lighter armor while also being squishier
DS2 is the most RPG-ish the series has ever been since you need to actually decide a roll for your character and play to those strengths rather than just becoming some immortal being who can do everything well like you can in all the other games

Is SM at odds with this? With how more intricate you can be with your builds, wouldn’t it make more sense to matchmake off of level brackets and ranges as opposed to the total amount of Souls you’ve been exposed to?

It was especially weird with how much more souls you got in a shorter amount of time; my DS1 guy could end the game and DLC just short of like 90-100 SL but my DS2 dude is rocking like 170 and he’s not even started the third DLC

Deflections still incur posture damage to you, sure, but your posture won't break from properly executed deflections, the gauge will just stay full. You only get posture broken if you get hit or simply guard.

Doesn’t that mean you’ll only run into people with like 200, 250+ SLs?

There's your problem shitlord.

But somehow Bloodborne didnt get the same massive boost with the now massive name like fromsoft backing it up expensive ads, everyone shilling it, everyone praising it as the next great thing, and was baiscully the only game on the ps4 for awhile

I just think people like fantasy far fucking more than gay ass werewolves in london and even gayer fucking lovecraft

also the order just came out which made werewolves in london aethetic leave a bad taste in ones mouth for a while

This made me laugh. Thank you for the smile, user.

I like DS3, but one of my biggest complaints about it was that it no longer felt like a blend of RPG and action like the other games, shedding the blend in favor of an outright action game.

Also, why the fuck does a flimsy little knife on the left hand block when i press L1?

Not really; I found that most people stopped leveling around 150 or so due to diminishing returns

You need to be +18 to post here.

BKH doesn't scale for shit and it's not like you need lots of END to become a poise monster

deflect harder faggot

I'm not sure if >muh cycles
proves to be an interesting premise either, but okay.

owned

It's a known issue that affects every input method, dumbass. Dark Souls 2 apologists are shit eating cucks who either can't tell the difference or just pretend it doesn't matter

you say that
but how many lore related dark souls videos there are?

people really fucking like fantasy, so much its a genre and not a setting or aesthitic

REALLY makes me think!

Does anyone else despise DaS2's running and sprinting animations?
I still look at the with disdain this day.
Something just looks so weird when you lock on and begin circling an enemy.

Why cant people just enjoy video games you fucking sperg
You on the spectrum?

And how many lore related videos are there for BB? Many reach millions of views, but that's just eceleb faggotry I don't give a shit about. I find BB's lore much more interesting, desu. And the premise is not something you find in Lovecraft: godlike beings so advanced that they can't conceive children themselves, and need human surrogates instead.

in awe at the size of this lad

they're floaty as fuck to the point that you often don't even touch the ground.
Also, running look like that autistic kid at school who tries to lower his whole body to run like Sonic or Naruto.

I need help to beat that faggot before Vendrik. Anyone on the Xbox to help?

the problem is the very shitty hitboxes. you dont need iframes on a game you're meant to parry attacks.

>Rolling only became useful after I put my ADP to 13
Actually roll into attacks and you won't have to increase it at all, DS2 isn't as brainless combat wise

I hate that every time ppl shits on ds2 for good reason they post webms of bad hitboxes. Bad hitboxes are in every souls game. Even sekiro has some. That's not the problem of the game. Dark souls 2 sucks dicks for other reasons.

I-If you're over lvl 1 you're overleveled, git gud casual hehehe

bb has very little in comparsion to dark souls in terms of lore videos

>Doing a bow only build is fun in 2. BOws are pretty accurate locked on.
>Meanwhile, firing locked on bows at a dude in 3 misses if the dude so much does a little twitch to the left/right

If you overlevel too much you can kiss PvP goodbye. 125 is often considered the ceiling for leveling.

So does Demon Souls. Which is a shame because I kinda wanted to understand why is there a dragon so ripped like he's on the gym 24/7 in that game.

He'd be like the king of dragons in Dark Souls.

never played demon
emulation isnt far enough to fully enjoy and i aint buying a ps3 for one game

should of gotten the remaster over the ds1 port

This guy right here he's the reason Seth betrayed his own species.

No shit. The base platform for this game was the PS3.

it looked so bad they had to rerelease a new version the year after

cope more tho ano

That's not true, the japs believe DaS is only fair at max level for some reason. I'm pretty sure it's the same for III.
125 was strictly a western invention based on the idea that it would force people to construct min-max builds even though this completely fucks over the option to use the Artorias Great Sword.

Like 99 in all stats? Jesus lol just imagine. A match started in 2011 would still be going on today.

Based. The right way to play (at least for the first playthrough) is in offline mode

What's your build, user?

I think like 250 or something in the 200's is max level in Soulsbourne games.

Are there any decent magic builds that also work in the DLCs? Everything there seems to take no damage from anything but physical damage.

I can't believe my webm is still going around.

Attached: surprise meme.webm (768x480, 2.97M)

I think in bloodborne is 544(?), you can max every stat, probably not with legit play though cause it starts scaling really hard

max level is literally 99 in every stats retard user.

That limits builds too much because there would be no point in using light Armour anymore. 125 is perfect to stop leveling as it allows to use a lot of builds but you still need to do some armor trimming to use the best weapons in the game.

Talking about DaS3. I haven't touched the PvP of the first game in years.

And it still looked like shit, featuring the same broken geometry and shitty textures everywhere as before.

ds2 is very flawed but i love the shit out of it anyway. its super fun

BB is probably different as you don't have armor in that game. Going to the top levels means that everyone will have more stamina which means fights will last longer, which is probably ideal for BB.

It's the funniest to do low level runs imo

It's so easy to mess up if you're not careful. Even the enemies use acid to break your equipment, if that happens on your agape run you're going to need to restart.

Honestly what happened?

But what about the whip tree in the 1st DLC?

>TFW bo runs are eh in DS3 because every enemy is a fucking BB-tier spastic that makes Manikins look like pussies (at least with manikins you can counter them with a shield)

You know what, looking at the footage again, even that version hasn't been properly finished and features fuck ups that also found their way into the final game like there not being any rain outside the windows and the rain particle effect being only on one window for some reason.

That DLC is balls to get to with a low level agape run. Youll need to dump everything into vitality at least once just to jump down there and then you will need another vessel to fight the giants to get the other key, so you will be using at least 4 vessels on a single run. But yeah that's a nice fix.

Also if your agape breaks (it got 500 durability but it's possible), youre fucked if an enemy suicides and gives you souls in that level. I wouldn't risk it

I'm almost finished with a double +7 notched whipp bleed build. I just need to finish Aldia Keep (those FUCKING ogers) and then maybe farm the gauntlets from those crab looking ninjas in no man's wharf. I'm probably ignoring that because I can't endure more suffering.

This is the funniest agape build I've done so far.

>what about the whip tree
Actually, yeah, what WAS that thing all about?
Given that the DLC was apparently once supposed to be part of the vanilla version it felt like yet another asset that simply got picked up from the cutting room floor just for the hell of it like the ant queen.

When you say that DkS2 is shit you imply that DkS3 is better, which is incorrect and indicates your shit taste, reddit.

>Bows only run
>Greatshields/shield only run
>Poison or Bleed weapon runs
>Glass Cannon agape ring runs

Pretty fun times man! Poison in DS3 is a disappointment!

That tree exists for masochists doing agape builds. Simple as.

No lore or anything behind that shit.

You know I never really thought about the lore behind that tree, I would have assumed thats where repair powder comes from but Repair Powder is made from grounded down enchanted metal.

Reminder DS3 is boring and DS2 is the best in the series.

cope

If you don't know this, you only need 1337 -1340 health to survive the first drop in Majula. Life Ring and Blue Crest help.

My fav souls game

Not arguing, played them all along bb and des, all good games, but das2 i love the most

Attached: FA0AD2E9-4939-4496-AB0F-FFEC922919D4.gif (241x328, 3.89M)

Any recommended mods for ds2? Is there a dsfix kind of thing for scholars edition?

Scholar runs fine. Das was a botched port but the next souls games run well

I know. You still need to readjust later for your build unless you don't mind having that much health. I did this 3 times already.

Post you co-op build
>50 faith
>56 attunement
>great heal and as many Lightning Spears possible

The entirity of DaS II is a mystery since it's cobbeled together with assets that were originally for a game with an "open world" style over-lay.
We have no way of knowing how the story was originally going to play out, just tidbits of shit like Dragon Aerie being the original drangliec castle.

Alright, I just like telling everyone that so they don't buy the cat ring.

>Faith builds in Dark Souls 2

Healing spells have no scaling and the offensive spells suck dicks compared to sorceries, hexes and pyromancies

This build is 100% about throwing Lightning Spears, they one shot Alonne Knights before they can touch the host.

You need the one that fixes deadzones

You can't buy the cat ring, it's 13000 dollasouls. The big ladder is 12000. Everyone needs to figure it out eventually.

I've wasted 6 lord vessels doing stupid shit because I didn't plan this build ahead. Almost fucked my entire agape run trying to get the dragon talon

Wait, the dsfix says it doesnt work together with the deadzone fix.

What settings to use in the deadzone fix mod? They dont seem to do anything.
