Yes 2 is where they scrapped the lighting

So is that 2? Or 3? Why is 2 the one with lighting if it's scrapped? And why does 3 look flat? Did they scrap the lighting from 2 to 3? I'm confused.

>daily mental illness thread

got sick of Elden Ring and decided to play DS2 because i never actually did the SotFS dlc
man, brume tower was fantastic, brume knight fight was great. the frozen dlc area and the burnt ivory king fight was great.
i think one playthrough from beginning to the end of the DLC and the game took me a little over a hundred hours, whereas i think every other souls game maybe took me around 40 hours on average, which is to say i guess DS2 has a shit ton of content
also i feel like DS2 improves on DS1 but it's before DS3 where they made rolling super OP and cost barely any stamina, so the fights feel more anime-ish and kinda ridiculous in DS3 and Elden Ring, whereas in DS1 and 2, it's more slow and sluggish and feels more real

ds2 trannies are incapable of not talking about 3.

>also i feel like DS2 improves on DS1

Best joke in the thread

DS2 and Elden ring show that the codirector is basted.

DS3 is just a pathetic rehash MEMBER fest with no unique ideas or any reason to play whatsoever now that elden ring exists

DS1 and DS2 compliment each other

BB and ER compliment each other

DS3 is just a shit bb that missed the entire point of ds

meds.

Ds2bros... i dont feel so good

Haye how all of the QoL things in DS2 / ng+ features aren't in future titles. It's bullshit

you use the word complement instead of compliment in that situation
bacon complements eggs

why the fuck doesn't 3 and ER have interior lighting? that shit looks disgusting when you notice it

I did the same and ds2 is now the best game in the series. I never actually played Sotfs, just the original back then.

Probably because ds2 scrapped it.

Ty English bro literally did not know this

ds3 has no unique ideas.....huh......

DS3 literally is nothing but MEMBER DS1???

Bottom looks like shit even with multiple years of patches.

Top doesnt even need to be addressed since ds1 fags will readily admit that the last part of the game sucks.

this but unironically, 3fags are not people

Now post DS2 screenshots that aren't lighting and texture packs

What I like most about DS2 is that the enemies individually are mostly very fair. The challenge comes from unique scenarios, numbers, and tricky enemy placement. It isn't just because someone can flip around and do 20 hit tracking combos that poise through all your stuff. As long as your patient and manage each of your actions it's really not bad. 2 handles difficulty the best. 1 is just too easy and cheesable, and 3 onwards feel more like action games than anything resembling Souls.

I don't see it. Seems to be reaching. DS2 felt very much like its own thing.

Based and godfreypilled

DS2 retains the game play and visual feel while being it's own thing to the point people cry about it. It enhanced new systems like power stancing, that 3 completely ignored, which elden ring brought back. Cringe and beta

>best Souls game is the one that sold the least
I smell bait here.

From Engine is basically held together with duct tape and zip ties.

tell me more

What weapon is that?

Ok, fine.
>sold 3 mil copies
>12 mil people played it
>meaning 9 mil people played BB when it was free on PS+
>meaning, PS owners don't buy games

In DS3, even the UI is ugly. Not to mention the rest of the game.

i have to commend the mental gymnastics of ds2fags, but i also cant help but feel pity that this embarrassing display of yours is in view of the public

So you equate the sales numbers to the quality of the game you never played?

sus

>posts windmills copied from ds2

Thank Miyazaki that Elden Ring actually has color. DS3 is completely moot at this point.

No. Bloodborne is the first Souls game I played and finished.
I just don't think it's masterpiece.

You clearly label PS players as the "other" in your post, you never played it.

Put some fucking shoes on.

DS3 (and BB) more muted color palettes are design choices that complement the world of each game

>Ringed City's Dreg Heap is in the trainwreck of lands that have been shattered, destroyed and are turning over and against the center of the world
>The DS2 area is specifically Earthen Peak, despite being nowhere as relevant as other areas
It must be intentional, right? It's clearly Miyazaki mocking DS2 fans

buddy I've put over 200 hours into DS3, I can spot a desaturated image when I see one

Yes, user. Other PS owners. Sorry, I meant Snoys. At the moment I own 3 PS consoles, but I am not a Snoy.
I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm not gonna play this game with you. But it's a good thing that you ignored the fact that only 1/4 of BB players actually bought the game.

I found it amusing that the only returning enemy from DS2 were those weird poison bugs

>"Look I disabled the lighting again! What a shitty looking game huh?"

Why would anyone care about that? Sales numbers are the biggest cope imaginable when critiquing literally any type of media. Is CRAAAAAAZY RICH ASIANS one of the best movies of all time?

Are you retarded? That's literally a shop of that shitty cave in Pokémon Arceus.

You can't resist posting fullbright screenshots with lighting removed.

Blighttown was already a rip-off of the Valley of Defilement, and I'd say The Rotten is closer to a rip-off of Nito than the Leechmonger

Explain why 9 million wanted to play Bloodborne, which they did after it was put on PS+, but didn't want to buy the game despite the fact that Bloodborne is often on sales.

I haven't posted a single image lmao

>The only good Souls game filters the majority of Yea Forums
Not surprised.

They scrapped the lighting for 2, yet it has lighting but 3 doesn't. Very interesting.

>why would people play a free game
Do you not think Elden Ring would see a massive player jump if added to something like Game Pass?

>not scrapped lighting
>scrapped lighting

Why are you changing the subject? I am talking about Bloodborne which is, apparently, the greatest Souls game. Or it really isn't?
