Try to attack enemy without lock on

>try to attack enemy without lock on
>character swings and misses the enemy RIGHT INFRONT AND NEXT TO HIM 2 TIMES
I'm literally 5-10 minutes in and already I see the fucking flaws. The meme is real how does anyone fucking defend this??

>be shit at the game
>blame the game
like clockwork

>use game mechanic
>game doesnt comply and turn to the enemy to attack
>y-your fault!
this is why you guys are the laughing stocks of the souls community

Dunno, played for 20mins and when faced against the troll (or whatever those river fucks are named) and was grabbed while being behind it I turned off the game before the animation had even finished.

>DON'T use game mechanic when you clearly need to
>suck shit
>this is somehow the games fault
>Y-YOU DON'T FIT ITO MUH VIDYA GAME COMMUMITY
lmfao video game communities are for faggot redditors

oh i didnt say you had to, im just saying this is why you ds2 fags are the biggest jokes ever

If you played Demon's when it was current, Dark 1 was a gameplay downgrade. Dark 2 was like From giving up or something. So slow, such bad movement, terrible animations, it's truly an ugly game, floaty, and slow game.

big flaw with the souls combat for me, weapon has a horizontal moveset and the enemy is shorter than that, which makes you miss it, absolute bullshit not having a option to do a vertical hit depending on weapon
also the press forward then quickly attacking in succession while trying to deal with enemy, character immediately jump attacks or does a shield bash thing with his hand instead of normal attacking, or just trying to drop down a ledge, a short tilt in the analog makes the character run forward to it and drops you faraway forward to your death, fucking bullshit controls

nigger you literally suck at the game if you can't hit monsters without lock on. that's not the games fault. if you weren't such a fucking npc you would keep playing and git gud, but instead you have a bunch of other peoples opinion in your head, so 10 minutes into the game you already jump to the conclusion that the game sucks.

>>try to attack enemy without lock on
this is your brain on dark souls 3. just cause the lock no doesnt work in that game doesnt mean the lock on doesnt work in 2. in fact its the only game where the lock on works.

>look at enemy
>swing
>character swings mace the other fucking direction
you're not always meant to use fucking lock on. this is why im doing it now cause i dont need to lock on to kill some fodder, same with a mass amount of enemies, you're meant to swing at them, not fucking lock on to only one

>don't know weapon moveset
>doesn't understand required positioning to hit
>has shit positioning so misses
>REEEE SHIT GAME SHIT GAME SHIT GAME NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT IN THIS BIG BOYS BRAIN

>character swings and misses the enemy
My guy, YOU control the character

you are supposed to lock on when fighting ganks cause DS2 is the only game in the series that lets you attack where/whoever you want even when locked on

sounds like you're malding that a game doesnt do what it should do in any other fucking scenario

im not the one making Yea Forums threads complaining about a game being shit because i can't even hit the enemies

you mean
>look at enemy
>move the stick back
>swing
>character swings mace in the direction you moved the stick

the game cant hit the enemies, in any other souls game this would work

i look at the enemy and dont touch the stick

>the game cant hit the enemies
>user wants the game to play itself for him
fucking kek can't make this shit up

i expect the game to make my character to hit the enemy i am LITERALLY looking at user.
t. coming from dark souls 1

have you tried aiming the stick at the enemy dumb fuck

>I look at the enemy and dont touch the stick
doesn't matter if your camera is facing him. try moving your stick towards the enemy next time.

ds2 my fav souls

The DS2 hate was always mindless circlejerk. It's not as good as DS1 but not by a long shot.

>ds2 is bad cuz I'm mad that I'm bad
Every. Single. Time. Can this masterpiece go one day without filtering stupid anons lmao.

git gud

this. the dude literally made this thread expecting a massive circle jerk of trannies who probably didn't even play the game and based their opinions on what their favourite e-celeb said about the game

Ironically I think DS2 has a really nice mix of lock-on and unlocked combat. Likewise there are situations where you roll, run, and walk in combat. I much prefer that over a game where you always lock on and roll around in combat.

You use the left stick to aim your attack, you idiot. What games have you played where you always attack in the direction the camera is pointing?

nevermind the combat
fighting and exploring for 5 minutes and seeing WEAPON AT RISK immediately pisses me off

Yeah I don’t know why haters bring up strafing being a valid strategy in DS2 as a flaw.

More like Dark Souls 3 has precise, well made, accurate controls and can be played using or not lock on as both work properly, and then there's Dark Souls 2 which is a stinky piece of shit

>swing weapon without lock on
>move the analog stick enough that game thinks you want to attack behind you
>attack behind you
>lie profusely and insist you definitely didn't do anything wrong, the game is just coded to have your character do a 180 attack randomly when you press right bumper
what do you expect this thread to be, OP, a hug box? You're a retard, kill yourself.

>the souls community
Fuck, what will I do without all my fellow Yea Forumsedditors?

>ds2 forces you to commit to your positioning, causing retards who spam r1 to be punished by missing enemies that are literally behind them
holy shit ds2 just continues to expose the shitters

true. Demons Souls has the best animations and most fluid gameplay of all souls games.
And I played it more than in the picture.

does it actually work well in rpcs3?

I have much more fun than with ER which I played before DeS.

>DS2 is the only one with good movement
nice webm

DS2 is the only game with fluid walking speed. In DS1, DS3, BB and ER you have just walking in running. In DS2 you have many different steps til running.

>I-IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SHIT
Lmao

Unironically, git gud.

>BE SHIT
But it isn't.

>play all FS games perfectly fine and beat them all
>notice issue with DS2 controls
>"get good"
DS2 is the easiest FS game, it's just a development mess.

sorry user, it isn't the game that's shit. it's you
all shitposting aside for one second: the reason i like dark souls 2 so much is that the balance is so much different than all the other souls games. I like that actions consume so much more stamina. i like that the movement is tankier. i like that you have to commit to shit and that you can be easily punished if you over commit. sure it has a bunch of problems like nonsensical level design and some ugly graphics, but gameplay wise it's definitely a breath of fresh air while still being traditionally souls-like.

playing ds2 feels like I'm adjusting for shitty design. idk how you're gonna act like ds2 was made by some high iq people who want to challenge your positioning when crystal lizards are almost impossible to hit.

ds2 is a bad game, it's not a circljerk.

it's supposed to punish DS1 babbies. same with how dodge takes up way more stamina and takes longer. same with how estus takes way longer to heal and you stand still longer. you're just shit. git gud unironically.

>when crystal lizards are almost impossible to hit.
Yeah, if you are shit lmao. Good job proving his point. Peabrain doesnt think of using a weapon with an overhead moveset after missing his first crystal lizard? Every DS2 hater is just a legitimate retard and they hate on it cause it doesn't cater to and assist retards like DS1 or 3.

Why are you surprised? Elden Shit Ring is a B Team product, while Demon's Souls is an A Team product.

>can't even hit enemies without lock on
i've got over 400 hours in dks2 and sotfs, i've never had an issue. seriously just stop being shit
>when crystal lizards are almost impossible to hit.
i literally had the exact same problem in dark souls 1 and 3 with weapons that didn't have movesets that specifically targeted the floor directly in front of me. rather than shit and piss my pants and make threads on 4 chan to cry i simply switched to a weapon with a more suitable move set, or did jump attacks in 3.
git gud

Use a bigger weapon

You know this is broken controls right? It's objectively bad. Not game has movements like this?

Are you interns that worked on this mess, mad that people don't like your shit game or something?

>*attacks you with 2 frames of windup*

the only thing I know is that you're shit at the game, ESL-kun

secret uzumaki technique

the controls are the least of your worries in that game kek

their armour hasn't been topped. 2 really had the best fashion souls

>i've got over 400 hours in dks2 and sotfs, i've never had an issue. seriously just stop being shit
I didn't have an issue with lock on retard, ds2 making shit up like always and being scziophrnic.

Liar, I played with multiple weapons and they all got lizard, ds2 doesn't work with basic swords. Telling someone to quickly change weapons to get a common collectible that disappears is not a solution lol
>git gud
Already did, ds2 was the easiest souls game, almost all bosses were beaten on the first try. Got the platinum too.

>I'm gonna shit yourself

>I didn't have an issue with lock on retard, ds2 making shit up like always and being scziophrnic.
don't butt into a conversation on an anonymous imageboard without pointing out you aren't the person I was talking to and maybe I won't make the mistake of assuming you are that person
>Liar
suck my dick faggot
>Telling someone to quickly change weapons to get a common collectible that disappears is not a solution lol
do you not notice shit until you're literally stood on top of it? there wasn't a single crystal lizard in the entire series that I didn't notice before it noticed me. Once you've fought one you can then use a little thing called planning.
>Already did, ds2 was the easiest souls game, almost all bosses were beaten on the first try. Got the platinum too.
yet another retard that plays games he doesn't like

It is only really kinda weird for UGS type of weapons where you can basically switch directions mid swing if you keep pressing the stick. It should not be a problem with other weapons and mostly boils down to getting used to it.

Just press forward and RT, jumping attacks will pretty much consistently hit them on any weapon
What the fuck

>be terrible at video game
>go to Yea Forums and tell everyone
what compels people to do this?

>play dark souls (a game about different builds and variety) this way in order to play the game
Kys

>i have to switch weapon on 0.01% of the enemies!!
>THIS IS LITERALLY LONG SWORD GENOCIDE!!!!
