Pottery.

>DaS3fags can't actually defend 3, only attack 2

b-b-but dark souls 3

That's because DS2 is flawed but fun, DS3 is irredeemable trash. DS1 obviously better than either.

>literally just "no u"
Nobody was talking about DaS 3 you faggot.

Lmao tranny you are just sad.

cmon explain yourselves

>Non-linear first half of the game allows you to rush straight to the areas of the game that contain the items for your build
i remember when ds2 came out it was criticized for not being able to do this as well as DeS and DS1 did
from what I can tell almost all of these are just shitflinging between ds2 vs ds3, when both are disappointing

>Having actual new ideas in its story and presentation instead of the endless references and callbacks that DS3 had.

I don't, because it's objectively not true? DS2 is the easiest Souls game to rush a build - just rush dragonrider and after that you can easily and quickly unlock sorceries, miracles, pyromancies, hexes, tons of weapons and even titanite chunks/slab.

Really the only thing I liked from 2 was being able to powerstace. But everything else like the gameplay, the level design, and the graphics was worse than 1, at least to me.

3 is much better than 2.

dark souls "1"
"dark" souls 2
dark "souls" 3

2's build variety at least made it worth a few more playthroughs for me than 1, as was the case with 3

there's a lighting7texture mod that gets shilled hard here and on twitter and from Twitch fags.
looks great, but will never be finished. the guy making it has only showed 1/4 of an area and just cashes in donations.

build variety is the only thing i value in these games, so i prefer 3 and 2 over 1.

ah yes, a Dark Souls 2 thread, truly a Dark Souls 3 of Dark Souls threads

DS2: You can rush titanite chunks/slab pretty much in the beginning of the game if you want/know what to do.
DS3: Literally cannot get a single one before the last third of the game when they start dropping in abundance.

Souls-series was always about freedom, DS3 completely shits the bed in this regard, you are not allowed to do or find anything for yourself, just do everything in the exact order Miyazaki-kun has planned. DS3 shouldn't even be called a Souls game.

that was the point of this thread, you dumb nigger brain retard.

>nerd shit that nobody but min-maxxers and retarded speed runners care about
if DS2 is better then how come your character looks like they've shit their pants when you press the run button

also why does it take longer to open chests in 2 than in 1 and 3, what was the decision behind this change exactly

bait or filtered as fuck, but i will still reply.
you can get and farm chunks like 10 minutes in, you just need to beat Dancer early and you can get a slab the moment you reach the first dlc.

>Freedom of choice to explore
>nerd shit that nobody but min-maxxers and retarded speed runners care about

How retarded can you be?

answer my question about why the character animations in 2 are so shitty, also why the fuck does it take so long to open chests

opening chests is like 50% of any souls game and they fucked that basic fucking thing up

unironically b-team.
the director was a complete newbie.

the problem with dark souls 2 fags is that they have an inferiority complex over liking the objectively worst official souls game ever made, which not only makes them cucks, but also double cucks because they care about other people's opinions and can't accept facts

this is precisely why the dark souls 2 fag is the most ridiculed creature in the entire souls fanbase

Dancer is one of the last bosses in the game and practically impossible in the beginning of the game to anyone but extremely experienced players who have cleared the game several times already
>state of DS2 critique
>"opening chests is too slow"
I guess when you don't find anything else to criticize it must be a pretty good game.

why find anything else when the designers of that game fucked such a basic thing up? you could make an eight hour video on why ds2 sucks compared to the other ones (I'm sure some autists did) but why bother when the chests are a symptom of a larger thing and instantly showcase what kind of a game DS2 is

>the problem with dark souls 2 fags is that they have an inferiority complex over liking the objectively worst official souls game ever
Metacritic says it's the best Souls game. So much for "objectively worst" official Souls game.
>inb4 lol Metacritic when it goes against my narative

>Dancer is one of the last bosses in the game and practically impossible in the beginning of the game to anyone but extremely experienced players who have cleared the game several times already
yes. that's the whole point of that boss. on your first playthrough, you have to follow a someone strict path, true. but that also helps the balancing.
but if you#re experienced and want to try multiple builds, you can go straight to it.

next thing you'll start quoting shit from kotaku or polygon and taking it as an indicator of anything true in the real world

>>inb4 lol Metacritic when it goes against my narative
metacritic or any other rating site is NEVER to be taking seriously. that goes for every media.

>gets hit through walls in a generic looking rectangle room no. 213213412 that dark souls 2 is almost entirely made out of
truly the best souls game

although I will give it points for making a retarded streamer AND speedruner on top of that seethe, that counts for something

>completely unnatural
Because it literally was made by a king and a shard of manus?

Literally 99% of people who have finished the game at least once still couldn't kill Dancer as the first boss. It's just a red herring, especially compared to DS2 where you can access like 6 different areas after killing Dragonrider.

See what I mean?

Magic.

>metacritic or any other rating site is NEVER to be taking seriously. that goes for every media.
Yeah, some random autist on Yas Forums ranting about "cucks" and "fags" is a better source.

the only thing people see is that dark souls 2 fags are cucks

if you just accepted that ds2 is the worst, objectively, and then said "I don't care, I like it anyway" then you'd become a ds2 chad, but ds2 fags are overall the biggest bitches in the community and still feel the need to argue, so we laugh at them, kinda like people are laughing at you rn in this thread

never said that or anything like that. you are literally projecting.

I just started a SOTFS playthrough - fuck them for putting petrified statues everywhere. just let me play the game how I want to you fuckers

saved, I actually like some parts of DS2 but I love making ds2 cucks seethe so this will come in handy

Only things I liked were the power stance and bonfire ascetics

and that king thought
>hmm, i am called the ivory king and ivory is white and in video games white is usually connected to ice, so i will make literally everything in my world connected to ice, just like in sonic games

Actually we don't, that post was something called "sarcasm" - like saying something and actually meaning the opposite, assuming that the reader realizes this too.
I guess it is hard to understand with autism, you really have to had at least some contact with real-life people to pick the subtle hints.

>objectively
You keep using that word and you clearly dont understand what it means.

ookay cuck

in your next post please keep talking about how DS2 is a godgame because it allows you to grab a titanite chunk early or some shit, lmao

Attached: 1535539714384.jpg (480x480, 19.58K)

DS3 has 80% of things DS2 is criticized for on top of it's own garbage and people treat it like it's an amazing return to form. Of course people will fucking attack it.

>using cuck unironically on a video game board
Have sex incel.

>Literally 99% of people who have finished the game at least once still couldn't kill Dancer as the first boss.
stop projecting, pleb. i died so many times to Dancer on my first playthrough, i memorized most of her attacks and managed to kill her with a +4 weapon on my 2nd playthrough.
you literally just said "an early branching path is hidden behind a strong boss, therefore it doesn't exist"
fucking kys, my guy.
