Not even vanilla Oblivion looks this bad.

It has soul

I never said DaS2 was the prettiest game, but going out of your way to get a picture of the shittiest looking area that doesn't even look how it does in-game is the definition of cherrypicking.
It'd be like posting a picture of Lost Izalith and saying that's what the whole game looks like.

This was done with hacks and you can't see that corridor in-game.

Honestly, DaS2 has so many actual problems I can't imagine why you'd need to make shit up to shit on it unless you're just a retard who's never played it parroting opinions he's heard on Yea Forums.

Dark Souls 2 textures were designed with high contrast shading in mind, but when they gutted the lighting engine the end result was whatever the fuck we have now

You literally can though, right when you get off the boat from the cave that's underwater. You want me to boot up my shitbox 360 copy and take a shit-tier photo of that for you? Because I will.

Most of Dark Souls 2 does look like absolute garbage though, almost staggeringly so. A majority of the areas look worse than Lost Izalith, not even joking

DS3 isn't exactly a good game, but it's still miles ahead of DS2.

that looks like shit ds3 really the best one

God, can you stupid faggot contrarians shut up for once. DS3 is a good game. DS2 is a good game. They both have their own flaws, but remain good.
I swear, Soulsfags act like there is such an enormous standard for a game to simply be just "good."
Autistic fucks.

Sometimes I wonder if faggots that say stupid shit like that even owned a PS2

OUT FUCKING SKILLED

That's what I'm saying. I dislike its overuse of bloom, but I'll gladly take bloom over Source fullbright any day

this shit is a fucking crime against humanity

I'm talking about areas. Have you actually seen the scans of the JP Dark Souls II art book?

That looks good you cuck

Have you ever considered that having standards is not being autistic? By the way, 2 is shit from all sorts of perspectives and 3 isn't that much better.

Is this SOTFS?
That corridor is visible in the skybox in he original game. There's no hacks involved. They might have bothered to cover it up in Scholar.

You should stop asking Yea Forums for opinion on anything.

that's his point. that's one of the less impressive areas of the game and it looks fine.

OP you have mental problems. You have been shitposting this same thread for months now. I am actually concerned for your mental well being.

I have actually. The devs probably had some really cool ideas that they just couldn't execute, and the game's lore is actually pretty good for the most part
I'll keep shitting on it though

I thought the game's theme was surreal nightmare. I wish more bosses had similar designs to that one, actually.

>heh

It is SotFS

>randomly copypasted stone slabs everywhere
>good
It's not Farron's Keep, but it doesn't exactly look pretty, I blame BB's garbage aesthetic on that though, that shitty game started the meme of randomly sprawling assets around and DS3 had the same problem with tombstones sprouting like fucking mushrooms everywhere.

Holy shit ahah I thought that print was from DaS2.

Yeah no huney, that looks like shit. It's just a corridor and it looks just as good as DaS2. Imagine the embarrassement

That's one of the few designs I actually like though

No way that's on max graphics

BB is literally the best looking game ever made. Artlets simply cannot comprehend this.

Don't know what point you're trying to prove here. It feels like I'm playing a large DOOM map with those obvious repeating textures.
Sekiro has much better looking areas you could've chosen.

>Dude, coffins and carriages, lmao

First of all, we're comparing a last gen game to a current gen one.

Second of all, DaS2 has more open areas than Corridors Souls 3. I won't even bother with your bait.

Gael, Gehrman, and Isshin? No, of course not.

DaS2 had the coolest bosses. Period.

that was a good zone until they took out the fucking heide knight in the update. what the fuck? mother fuckers.

Gehrman is not the final boss.

The final boss in DaS2 has the best build up.

Gehrman + Moon Presence then. Even better, actually

A mini-boss, in Souls games, would be enemies that don't respawn in the level, like the Black Knight in the Undead Burg. Every enemy in that image has a name, health bar and music and dedicated arena to fight them in.

>The guardian dragon is a much better dragon fight than Kalamet

DaS2 has my favorite weapon in the series, the Grand Lance, and my favorite covenant in the series, the Bell Keepers.

Dark Souls 2 is my favorite DaS game.

lmao why didn't he dodge ? casul

1 - If games have shit graphics is because consoles can't handle good graphics on non-corridor games

2 - If you guys like graphix so much just play tomb raider or other 4 hours long cinematic experiences

Or I'll play a kino game.

Dark Souls 2s textures were made with darker lighting in mind, once the new lighting system was scrapped, they couldn't just go back and redo all the textures, use a lighting fix mod on PC to see how they were meant to be seen.

The rat covenant is my favorite

nothing personnel kid

Ist hat ButchaU?

Bed of Chaos
Dragon God

This. People who dont mod DS2 are seriously missing out.

I'm playing Dark souls 1 for the first time and just found the blacksmith
Can I upgrade the boring longsword if I like using it or do I need to be careful about upgrade items and wait until I find a better llongsword?

The starting longsword is unironically the best weapon in the game.

you can farm later

You can certainly freely upgrade that one, yes. Most weapons you can stick with for the entire game, as long as you upgrade them.

One of the very few good designs, probably best one in the game

Congregation, Covetous Demon and the Rat King are the only actually bad fights out of these.

You're thinking of shit souls 3

This

Also the Dragon God repeats twice in that game. And still gets a pass

>The guardian dragon is a much better dragon fight than Kalamet

Attached: 1544741645186s.jpg (239x250, 7K)

The longsword is a very good weapon! You can never go wrong with pure physical upgrade in DaS for non elemental weapons. Note that you have to find the embers to allow for +10 upgrade and later +15.
I'd personally use the longsword until you make the balder knights drop a Balder Side Sword.

The default long sword is the best weapon in all three Dark Souls games + Demon's Souls.

Dragon God doesn't repeat. Unless you count an optional cutscene as the boss fight, in which case you might be retarded

All weapons are viable. You probably won't find a strictly "better" sword at any point. The key is finding a moveset you enjoy and then upgrading that.

nice, the longsword is the weapon I like using the most so far so that is good to know
thanks for the help

I mean, Bloodborne looks way better than Sekiro, so they probably have the ability to make games that look good.
It feels like their next game, which they haven't revealed yet, is the one that they've put all the money into. We'll see how it turns out.

That's because Bloodborne was funded by Sony.

They do though

if you had to remake your entire game because it was ugly as fuck there is a serious problem

except faram always looked like garbage ingame in ds2, even in 3 it didn't look much better

in game it looked very washed out in 2 lacking any detail.
And in 3 it was bulky and the fur looked like it was wet.
Best armor that never was

I think it has actually the worst lore.
Dark Souls 2 lore is extremely disconnected, like a collection of different stories that do not work together well. Some of it is great, like the whole story of Shulva, other parts of it are crap, like the Covetous Demon. The Aldia stuff had to be added a significant amount of time post-release to give the game a sense of connected story.
But the worst of all is the fanservice. People complain about DS3 fanservice but it's not even half as bad as Dark Souls 2 fanservice, because in that game it doesn't make sense. You have the four Lord Souls from Lordran still in the land, even Seath's which was a Soul Shard in the original, you have the same Sunlight Altar copy pasted into some random area where it doesn't make sense, and you have a literal Ornstein copy paste out nowhere.
And this isn't really DS2's fault, but DS3 stealth-retcons the entire story. In Dark Souls 2 it's revealed the Age of Dark and Age of Fire are part of a circle, and it was heavily theorized during DS2 times that Vendrick's rule happened in an Age of Dark. The whole point of the Aldia story which was also the "main story" of SOTFS was finding a way to escape that. In Dark Souls 3, however, the First Flame never truly went down, someone always linked it at the last moment, and it's only in the game's time when it's finally going out and the Lords of Cinder and Unkindled pop up. Dark Souls 2 truly feels like the black sheep of the series.
