Beat Dark Souls for the first time today

This is after playing Dark Souls 2 years ago and beating Sekiro recently.

I can see why some of you didn't like Dark Souls 2.

Dark Souls 2 is shit

In this thread we list things that make Dark Souls 2 the best Souls game. I'll start:

>Non-linear 1st half of the game allows you to go straight to the areas that contain the items for your build

>Drinking Estus immobilizes you, and the heal isn't instantaneous meaning trying to drink while someone is sticking close to you will result in death

>Stamina regen is tied to weight, so a character at 10% burden will recover their bar faster than a character at 70% burden, giving a reason to make a low burden character

>Poise is always relevant and armor provides notable but not OP damage reduction, giving a reason to make a high burden character

>Phantoms and Dark Spirits can't drink estus, spirits can only heal via spell usage. This makes fighting outnumbered without mob assistance possible since any damage you do sticks

>Can continue your playthrough after beating the last boss and can choose when to start NG+

>NG+ has new enemies/items/events and some remixed bosses

>Parrying has longer recovery frames and consumes more stamina, making parry fishing riskier and makes parrying require higher skill

>Power stance allows for unique combinations of dual wielding and unlocks an alternative moveset

>Being able to use the full moveset of a weapon in your off-hand including running, rolling, backstepping, etc. attacks rather than just being able to do a basic R1 swing and blocking with the weapon as it is in DS3

>Bell Tower covenant providing two unique areas to PvP for Titanite Chunks, Slabs, and Twinkling, making farming for upgrades fun

>Bonfire ascetics to replay bosses and or gain items from NG+ without going through the game again

>No bonfire and no death challenge where you can beat the game without resting at a bonfire or dying to gain a reward

>Best build variety, effectively pull off any build you want

>Best online and covenants, best QoL in the series

>Most diverse environments, replayability, customization, weapons, armors, magic/miracles/hexes/pyros

Kill yourself nigger
