Was Dark Souls 2 peak Fromsoft?

They're ordered from left to right within each tier and 3 is below 2.

you're supposed to post bait rankings, not objectively correct ones.

2 is spookier

This unironically. I'll take a new take on the world and a more personal story than "DUDE ANOR LONDO LMAO"

>3 was soulles-

Dark Souls 2 has the most variety of play styles with its tons of weapons and power stance
Shame its all over the place quality wise in terms of level design and bosses

I sure like how they scrapped the entire storyline downgrading this guy into a regular fag when he was supposed to be the final boss. I also like the fact that you can see a giant coffin in the first boss' arena because Yhorm was supposed to be the tutorial boss. I also like how creating your own bonfires was cut after being shown in trailers. What I definitely love is how the entire game is a DS1 wankest

Dark Souls II restarted development midway and had two directors. What excuse does DSIII have, especially with Miyazaki at the front?

not to mention actual changed between NG+'s

This, rearranged enemy placements on subsequent NG cycles was the best thing DaS2 did and I can't believe neither BB or DaS3 adopted it. I guess BB was in parallel development, but there's no excuse for DaS3 not having it.

plus new red phantoms and different gear

1 > 3 > 2

I've played for 8 hours and still havent beat this fucking dude

Grinding for Molitovs is a bitch

Reminder DSII's original plot would've been about time travel
>The Gutter was originally a Gyrm village under Drangleic Castle
>Vendrick was using the Gyrm as slaves to dig under the castle
>would've met an ex-Drangleic scientist in the room with the big book in Majula's mansion.
>first half of the game would've been you finding the missing pieces of the time pendulum
>would've met Child Shanalotte, bought her freedom and given her a feather
>that's why the Announcement Trailer and the final game make a big deal out of her giving you a feather. She's giving it back.
Bamco felt it wasn't enough Dark Souls-y and we ended up with the disjointed mess we have now.

Being uninspired is better than being incompetent.
Dark souls 3 may be unoriginal, but dark souls 2 is bad.

Is anyone else completely unable to replay these games? I tried to replay 3, 1 and BB and I barely got 2 hours in each. I only played them once so it's not like I have 500 hours logged already. I think these games only work for one playthrough, combat just isn't intricate enough to spice it up significantly.

Timeline?

They're games that you play once, forget about them, then play them a year later and fall in love with them all over again.

Cringe nigger

seperate DaSIII into a new okay tier and this is objectively correct list.

I played DaS 1 back when it released, liked it but have never been able to replay it. Maybe if I forgot some things about it but my memory is too good and the game was just memorable.

Parry him, be aggressive, and stop backing away from him.

Is it just me or is Bloodborne significantly easier than the other games? The only two bosses that gave me trouble were Orphan and the dungeon version of Rom (seriously fuck that guy).

Holy shit an accurate one

I wouldn't say significantly, but the fact that you have 20 vials (with enemies frequently dropping them), rallying, and a low risk-high reward parry definitely makes it pretty easy for the most part.

People say Bloodborne has terrible replay value, but that and Demon's Souls are the only ones I still have fun replaying. I was burnt out of Dark Souls before 2 even came out, and played that and DS3 just because I've been following the series since Demon's Souls first releases.
