DaS2 is the worst Souls but that guy is an autistic pseud.

No. Didn't even manage a coherent defense of the game that could stand up to any sort of scrutiny, had to resort to misrepresentation and strawmanning to even pretend to have an argument and then gave up making sense halfway through his own video.
When he says 'I just summon for Shrine of Amana, because I have friends lol,' after telling you to learn to play without lockon, the weight of his bullshit absolutely colapses on itself.

All three of those things are false.

Nope, i love DS2 but that retard was wrong and only make people who likes DS2 look worse.
DS2 is a bit clunkier, but with stronger RPG aspects, and there are people who like that. Look at the whole EuroJank RPG "genre"

For something to be false, it has to be wrong.

imagine being so fat you look at video games and see food

All of these are up for debate and at least would require some seriously proof. You'd have to actually examine the PvP in all 4 games, through multiple lens such as skill ceiling or floor, fluidity, responsiveness, etc. Then while proving this show off the build variety that occurs at each level meta in all 4 games. After that you'd have to go point by point to dismantle Ds3 and highlight the very few positives of Ds2 in comparison.
Hbomb is capable of none of that.

That video is some fine ASMR

>After that you'd have to go point by point to dismantle Ds3 and highlight the very few positives of Ds2 in comparison.

should be easy considering DS3 has no positives

>commie
No, he’s left

>Best PvP
you have to farm for orbs, half the covenants were dead within a week because they were fucking lame, and the netcode is so bad it makes DaS3 look like Skullgirls.
>Best build variety
it has the most build variety. best implies that the vast majority of the gear isn't actual dogshit in both looks and effectiveness.
>Better than Dark Souls 3
maybe this would be true if they decided to fix the giant glaring flaws with their game any of the two times they released it. as it stands it's fundamentally busted in just about every way it could be. it doesn't stand anywhere near DaS3, not because DaS3 is a good game, but because DaS3 was made by a competent team who can produce a game that doesn't look like its own chinese knockoff.

Dark Souls 1 was a delicious cheese burger with all the fixings, a little undercooked but otherwise perfect
Dark Souls 2 was two pieces of half-burnt toast with some dollar store meat, old tomatoes, and some mustard leaking out the sides whenever you took a bite, which they advertised as good because there's so much mustard, but never gave you any napkins so it's a chore to eat
Dark Souls 3 was a plain burger with some cheese, lettuce, maybe some bacon, but you forget you're eating anything halfway through and order something else

At least the movement works and no windmills lead to volcanos.

>DaS2 is the worst Souls but that guy is an autistic pseud.
Compared to bomberguy not at all. And if thats all you got from those videos then ur retarded.

At least DS2 isn't just DS1 but worse in every way

I hate DS3 for being a derivative shitstain as much or more than the next sperg but its a functional game, and while DS2 is just as much of a fanfiction-tier derivative shitstain, it isn't.

>no full orb

>better than dark souls 3

Every fucking time with you faggots. Lets not forget ds2 is only playable on pc with the deadzone fix. Jesus christ the game was made by complete amateurs.

No he wasn't. That said DS2 is still fat better than any game that came after it.

remember to sage and report eceleb threads

Dark Souls 2 objectively has more positive aspects to it than Dark Souls 3.

Prove it ass-pie

no it doesn't and its not what we're talking about. Deflection won't save you from accepting your game was made by abject amateur retards.

So you expect people to recognize youtubers from the thumbnail now? How did you let it get so bad, Yea Forums? You welcome these retards and encourage them to nest here. This stupid underage fuck probably has never played DS2, just watched his ebig tube hero play it.
This place was always shit, but until a couple of years ago it was at least browsable.

>You have to farm for orbs
You earn orbs by doing arena PvP, there were also designated dueling spots for Red Soapstone if you really didn't want to go to the arena. You never had to 'farm' enemies, you engaged in PvP and were rewarded with the ability to fuck with people who weren't seeking PvP.
It doesn't matter if Dark Souls 3 has full orbs because of how absolutely abysmal the PvP is in the first place, with hosts with phantoms being prioritized, rolling and healing being so quick that it's essentially unpunishable and the only real 'invasion meta' being parrying and 1-shotting with hornet ring. Astounding PvP shitlords. So what do you end up doing to avoid that, using the arena or soapstone summoning in designated arenas, exactly like in dark souls 2 but with infinite rolling and terrible weapon variety because Miyazaki wanted Soul Arts gimmick-shit?

Souls games are PVE games with drop in/ drop out pvp. This is where these interactions function best. If all you have is pure pvp you have a very bland multiplayer experience.

DS3 also has an arena and designated duel locations, but you can move in 360 degrees while pvping and don't have to spin in place to try to manipulate the netcode to land a stray running attack

Das3 is a literal masterpiece compared to das2

Kill yourself

>Designated duel locations

Fights clubs and muh honorable pvp are for niggers and faggots.

If invasions are the only pvp that matters, why are you defending Dark Souls 3, the game that killed invasions in any form other than area invasions? You might as well be fighting on the Iron Keep bridge considering how the only fucking place you get fights in that shit game is after Pontiff.
I agree, but that usually means that every fight is going to be a complete and utter stomp because you're facing PvE builds with a twinky PvP build.
I said this, also stop attempting to defend Dark Souls 3's terrible combat by attacking the standard phantom range issues that literally every souls game has. The game's pvp is trash, it's a purely pve game.

I've never watched the video, but as someone who has played all From souls game I can tell you that 2 is the worst. Not bad, just the worst. That E3 downgrade makes it painful though.

Who are you arguing against you fucking nigger did I say I used them

I like DaS2 not necessary for the game itself (it is the worst game in the series). But because of how interesting the making of the game was, the dropping of open world, the huge downgrade and the stiched together world. It feels (and looks sometimes) like an old N64 game. I think its more of a "what could have been" interest and that they originally wanted it to be very ambitious but it feel apart.

DS2 pvp feels like shit to play because the game feels like shit to play at all times. I don't like DS3 pvp (lmao 2hitstun), and while I don't like the pve the problem wasn't with how the game felt.

Heres the thing If I want to invade I don't make faggot build, I just invade on my character with whatever I have. Minmaxed pvp builds are cancer. Obviously invading someone and one shotting them when they don't even know I'm there is boring.

I thought he made some good points. Then I learned he was a soi boy so I hate Dark Souls 2 again.

Name literally one

>I agree, but that usually means that every fight is going to be a complete and utter stomp because you're facing PvE builds with a twinky PvP build.
>while yeah sure you're right but if you play in a way that makes it non fun for you, you won't have fun

Genius insight from the ds2 defense squad

I can understand how some people think that the game feels like shit to play, but generally past the piss poor, floaty animations there isn't much objectively wrong with the game. It has a slower pace and I see how that felt wrong with some people, but it definitely had a pvp community on par with Dark Souls 1 and that's something Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 lost very quickly. So clearly they were doing something right in that respect.

The deadzone is objectively fucked unless you download a mod to fix it

Bloodborne has a pvp community, it was written off quickly but it never died, just got left behind by all the epic youtube cancer, out of all the janky souls pvp it's probably my favorite.

>dark souls 2 is bad
>no it's not because dark souls 3 is bad

EVERY

FUCKING

TIME

epic

Dark Souls 3 is objectively the wrost game in the series.

Dark souls 3 is the worst souls game by far. You have to have been a DaS:PTD starter to consider it better than 2.

Poise being nonexistant and weapon/spell balance being so bad that only one build feels good the whole way through made the game practically non-replayable.

2 had a shit ton of build variety that felt good in both PvP and PvE. the only real complaint is soul memory.

Still not an argument in favor in DS2.

I WAS MAKING FUN OF YOU FAGGOTS FOR BRINGING UP DS3 INSTEAD OF DEFENDING DS2

YOU FUCKING HOMO'S CAN'T HELP YOURSELF

This guy gets it, the game has you go through some of the dullest most uninspired levels on a sleigh ride that just gets worse and worse. While DS2 isn't the best and has glaring flaws, it is in no way as shit as DS3.

I unironically love the atmosphere of DS2 after using mods that restore the proper lighting. The undead crypt is my favorite area in the game as a result.

heh, you're right.

>waaaah soul memory
>waaaaaaaah this world map contradicts intself at points
>WAAAAAHHH this very early boss is multiple similar automatons that can be found as normal enemies later.

I hate how popular souls got with the PC release. All the shitters and onlyafro memers worship DAS1 because they never played the pre major patch version.

Yeah definitely.

I stopped watching when he started misusing the footage of Matthewmatosis to prove his points while being a smug fuck. The DSII video of his is my least favorite and I don't agree with many of his points. but this bomber guy played it really low.

Nothing fucking works in 3 beyond daggers, UGS/GH/CGS, and Straight Swords. Everything else is some degree of bad or terrible.

The best version of the game was PS3 vanilla prepatch.

Don't know what you're talking about but DS2 is the GOAT. Brainlets and noobs think otherwise.

I would have fucking loved to powerstance Gael's Repeating Crossbow, but alas, no fun is allowed in DS3

That video was just as bad as his hairline

Hbomberguy, like Contrapoints and much of leftyoutube is a pseudointellectual fraud. He only engages with incredibly low hanging fruit for content. The few times he might engage with the risque or toxic elements of faux-progressives is when he carefully redefines every word, so that he might weasel his way out of any controversy.

Remeber when he protected his sex predator friend? Funny how he doesnt talk about or apologize for it, after they were prosecuted.

>WHY CANT YOU DEFEND DAS2

at least try to pretend that you can formulate your own opinions; or, you can keep posting reaction images with no argument to stand on.

Pre patch was so broken that it was fun. Iron skin bouncing everything, Izalith dragon asses aggroing before you leave the centipede pit.

Is Dark Souls 2 the New Vegas of Dark Souls?

Pros of Dark Souls 2:
>Powerstancing
>NG+ adding new shit
>Bonfire Ascetics
>Great build variety
>Plenty of unique weapons that are actually viable
>DLC is really good
>Good balance after patches
>Best iteration of poise
>Soul Vessels for respeccing
>No useless stats for once
>Best PvP if you care about that
>Made a step in the right direction by keeping roll speed constant and having equip load change roll distance (kind of subjective though)

Cons of Dark Souls 2:
>ADP and agility is a shitty mechanic and immediately took a step back from the roll speed change
>Game is clearly unfinished
>A lot of filler bosses that just suck
>Shitty textures galore
>Awful downgrade
>Final Boss is the worst in the series
>Omni-directional movement for some fucking reason instead of full analog movement

Can't really think of anything else, sure i'm missing a bunch.

That is an absolutely fucking disgusting insult to new vegas

Shitty enemies, shitty bosses, shitty level design, shitty music, shitty atmosphere, combat is floaty and slow with bad animations.

>dark souls 2
>good pvp

lmao

*farts*

It is literally the opposite. DS2 was made by commitee, and tried to emulate the past. New Vegas was the original team coming back to try to make something new using an old engine.

The DLC fundamentally changed the meta due to new broken or powerful equipment.

No, people actually like NV.

Floaty is a nonsense term you Kiddie Hearts faggot

You could add how every single DLC had a super shit part of it worth of being
>worst part of the series
That said, most of Das2 is THAT part, fuck it's annoying to just remember it.

No
Even if DS2 was a good game, his video is still astoundingly bad. Full of contradictions, misinformation and opinions based purely on biased feelings.

>turtlers punished
>iframes less forgiving

>weapon sweet spots and hitboxes that can be used to edge around blocks

Yeah I sure prefer parry fishing and r1 spam

Dark Souls 2 has the best fashion out of the Souls series (not including bloodborne)

Dark Souls 3 is even worse than DeS due to the fact that the mesh is fucked up and as a result everything but a few sets make you look fat

This. I dont know when the hate train started, probably people had extremely high expectations after DaS1 and wanted that fully surpasses it. It would have probably happened if it wasn't for the troubled development it went through and the first director getting replaced.

No.
Dark Souls 1 was a masterpiece overall. A sequel to a game that wasn't expected to sell that well but got a huge cult following and DaS1 took off taking gamers by a new front that has still inspiring elements today that companies are trying to find ways to replicate.
Dark Souls 2 was the sequel to this game previously mentioned without the executive director 100% overseeing things. Its essentially a DaS1 fanfic. The only thing that mattered about making it DaS in a story/theming sense is it still stole/robbed basically everything from berserk for influence, god bless. Gameplay wise it was basically ruined because its not a dungeon crawler anymore since you have teleport the moment the game starts. There is no more objective difficulty to going to an area and traveling deeper. The consequence is gone AKA it is now objectively a more casual experience.
Dark Souls 3 was the sequel to the aforementioned product and it made combat as smooth as possible, but messed up by making iframes too apparent. Terrible level design just like 2 due to instant teleport. Once again retains all influences and story from berserk, god bless.
Lastly, dark souls isn't food zoomer.

It's easily the game that got the longest dev cycle and from's expectations were really high as well. Everything about the beta versions of the levels sounded amazing and exactly how the concept arts pictured it. The Iron keep's original version was completely different than what we got.
Then again, this has been a trend for From games, even Sekiro has cut content. Demon's Souls supposedly has the least cut content and it was still missing the beta snow level.

So is there any point to playing DS3 if it doesn't do anything better than he other Soulsborne games.

what the fuck why havent i see nthis

I laughed too hard at this

>Dark Souls 2 has the best fashion out of the Souls series
It's hard to have the best fashion in the series when you look like a PS1 game dipped in shit. DeS looks much better than DaS2 even.

SL1 CoC NG7 DaS2 is harder than SL1/BL4/Beadless+Charmless+Bell DeS/DaS/DaS3/Sekiro

This is fact.

I was super late to the Soulsborne party. I played DeS first like 4 years ago, then took a break, played some DS1. I stopped at O&S, took a break, got a hold of Bloodborne and loved it so much I platinumed it over 3 playthroughs. Then like another year or two passed and I started DS1 over.

I loved Dark Souls. I liked exploring in it, trying out weapons until I found the one I liked, fucking up and getting all my NPCs killed. I beat Anor Londo before I beat Pinwheel, but I had a great time. It had the atmosphere of DeS, but a lot better gameplay.

When I went to play DS2, I'd heard bad things. I was told by a friend though that it was the weakest of the Souls games, but still good. And that's about what it was for me. I had an okay time playing it, but it didn't click like DS1 or BB did. It felt like a cheap knockoff of Dark Souls. Powerstancing was awesome, but so much of that game was just... bleh. Adaptanility, dealing with Soul Memory, Titanite Slabs being passed out like candy while Chunks were hidden away. All the bonfires hidden by invisible walls. Enemies with infinite poise despite me powerstancing two Greatswords. Being able to make enemies stop respawning. The weak story, grindy covenants, stuff like the hellavator, it all just added up to a meh time. I don't feel like I wasted the time I spent playing it, but when I think about having to go through NG+ with the stupid addition of lolsorandumb red phantom spawns, I play something else.

I'd avoided most stuff Dark Souls for a while. I wanted to play them blind, and ignored the hype when they were new. I had almost no real preconceptions of Dark Souls 2, but after having beat it and talked to people about it, I can see why people were let down by it.

Have sex.

>character gets stronger the more they level

Yes there is. At the end of the day it blows every other arpg out of the park. Youd be stupid to miss out on more souls.

>he hasnt played a 66 str hypermode morion/rtsr heavy ecgs w/ blessed weapon build

Nah.

youtu.be/kcI6JYshA14

even if the game played like it was made by god, it would still be massively held back by the bonehead decisions of soul memory and no red eye orb.

If rather have soul memory over weapons memory

chaotic dried finger runs

then you're either a moronic fanboy or you didn't invade regularly.

From made other games besides Souls, brainlet babby

SL1 is solely more difficult in ds2 because low adp level

Soul Memory didn't ruin my jolly cooperation
weapons memory did

>not leveling a stat is worse than leveling a stat
Tell me more. I'm intrigued

it objectively does ruin your co-op because eventually that character will move out of your desired soul memory bracket, forcing you to make a new character. with weapon memory you can keep a character at whatever appropriate level/wm you want for invasions and co-oping.

Literally nobody had heard of From before Demons Souls, fuck off casual.
>WAAHHHH ITS TOO HAAAAAAAAAARD WAAAAAAAAH

>Literally nobody had heard of From before Demons Souls, fuck off casual.
False. Their games had a cult following in Japan and Armored Core was popular worldwide

Agape ring existed. I could stay in ruin sentinels forever farming medals and having fun.

With weapon memory, I have to play a gimped character by not upgrading to stay within a bracket, severely limiting my pool of players

Why do most encounters in 3 feel cheap?

Literally false, casual newfag. I was born in 1998 and I had never heard of armored core until after demons souls came out

Explain

agape ring exists as an admission that soul memory was a massive mistake you retard. and it still takes up a ring slot, gimping your character.

Equipment upgrades gimp you more than a ring slot

That's the entirety of Dark Souls 2.

if they're not really surprising how are you getting ambushed

No, like always DaS2 is only defended by people who are shit at souls games but love looking up easy ways to beat them online via easy mode builds and op items to use.

You forgot the combos that go on and on forever

>Game is when Dodge is non functional
It's absurd that people waste time defending such a trash game

>Best PVP
Objectively false, there is no variety in how you actually face off against other players. It has to be dumb tryhard arena, Bell Towers within certain soul memory ranges, or hope someone summons your red sign. Have to edit in red eye orbs if you want to do anything else at all. As a result of this, stuff like blue sentinals also suffer, and while the game was at its apex (at release) the actual balance of PVP was so abhorrent that the cooler shit didnt even matter, armor was useless, and it was all mundane washingpoles that were built to one shot, or power stanced avelynns to cheese

>Best build variety
This is true, because power stancing adds a lot and there were a lot of neat things.

>Better than Dark Souls 3
lol no. The bosses were shit, they even went as far as to recycle Orestein to try and salvage some of those disasters. I am not going to pretend like Dark Souls 3 had amazing ones either or didn't try to recycle shit (because it certainly did) but I can safely say that the abyss watches shit on 90% of anything Dark Souls 2 bosses were. Dark Souls 3 PVP might have been a mess, but at least I could invade, and have varying objectives while doing so, in basically any area in the fucking game, they even had the "Player as a boss" gimmick from Demon's Souls is one of the DLCs. The initial balance, while still awful, was significantly better than fucking Dark Souls 2.

Bloodborne had objectively the best pvp, dark souls 2 is shit

Why didn't he tried to kill it frist?

he tried too hard to be contrarian and defend the game against every single common criticism instead of just sincerely talking about what he liked

his contrarianism didn't lead him down any interesting paths, it was just boring and transparent

honestly this guy sucks, his videos are just dull and they're bloated with too much time wasting shit, his bloodborne video took him 40 minutes to say that "bloodborne encourages aggressive play because you don't have a shield", which is an extremely common thing for people to say about the game and isn't even true

Are they actually really good or are they only perceived as good because the base they are working from is so low quality? They certainly aren't as good as Artorias of the Abyss, Ashes of Ariandel or The Ringed City. An 'okay to decent' DLC feels better when compared to the disappointing and mediocre base game, but if you took the same quality and had it try to build upon a better game to begin with they're really nothing to write home about.

>There is no variety in how you face against other players
What the fuck is rat covenant? That was easily one of the most original covenants in the series, and aside from that you could invade in most zones without trouble
>Having to edit red eye orbs
You can get those by the loads by killing torturers, pvping in the arena or buying them from Ren, a whole orb would have been much better but it shit sucks
>All mundane washingpoles or power stanced avelyns
You must have played very early near release date because if i recall correctly avelyn got nerfed hard. I must have +30 hours just in online fights in DS2 and its by far the souls game with the most build variety ive seen, washingpoles werent even that common

He was right in having his own opinon. Hes still a huge faggot and i disagree with him but i can say he was wrong.

I never understood all the bitching about Adaptability considering the game is an RPG. Not tying rolls to a stat is an obvious misstep.

They got used to using DWGR to roll through attacks rather than actually avoid getting hit, so they are now crying about muh i-frames.

the execution was poor, they cut the base i-frames from previous games without investment and force you to invest to not only attain but exceed the previous base i-frames with no visual roll animation changes

No, he picked the worst points to defend it on. This was a terrible fucking video.

The video is flawed unlike Dark Souls 2

My real question is why has no other soulsborne game seemed to be able to capture the atmosphere that demon’s souls and ds1 had?
I don’t know how to explain it but something about those two seems so much more immersive than the later instalments

his forehead is enough

Food analogies are simple, thats why they work

They were already tied to your equip limit in the other games. Adaptability gives you no visual difference and it's just lazy.

>Scorpioness Najka cutscenes never ever

That's a puzzling cut, given that these scenes were fully animated and polished, but I guess at the end of the day they were deemed too minor of characters to have a scene like this.

The entire young Shanalotte questline being cut is infuriating though. The game expects you to care about her and acts like you've somehow bonded over the course of the main quest but you literally don't, she is just there, there's no character development. This quest was like the entirety of her character development and would have given you a reason to actually care about her as more than a vital service-giving NPC.

ds2 wasn't as good as the other games but its not like it was garbage

Bloodborne had terrible fucking PvP. Also, what kind of endgame 99 in every stats build is that
