Dark Souls 2 is a bad game

I thought Cave of the Dead was gonna be the worst area in the series until I did Iron Passage.
Little did I know what was coming. I couldn't prepare for how bad Frigid Outskirts would be.
Impressive that From managed to create 3 similar areas and had them all be the fucking worst.

Wherever someone says they like dark souls 2 I know I no longer have to listen to anything else they say

S H O C K W A V E S

This is the correct opinion. I'm always shocked when people say 3 is better

based

Ds3 was also a step backwards from Ds1.
Nice.

>What if instead of making a good game, we made a shit one?
Yes, DaS2 tried something new.

me and a friend have been playing through all the soulsborne games together and we both agreed to skip the DaS2 DLC

I think the main portions of the DLCs are the best DS2 has to offer, but those 3 side areas are dogshit terrible. I actually rank Shulva as my favorite area in DS2 cause I liked all the secrets and switch puzzle stuff it had.

Bloodborne is a game

>ice level
>ice soldiers
>big ice soldiers
>ice porcupines
>ice dogs
>ice horses

The game was designed by autists with no creativity

same

reshade mod when

Bloodborne is a great game.

I told you to watch out for those braps bro!
I fucking told you

If you're gonna play through base Ds2, might as well do the DLC too.

ya i agree they should add fire salamanders 2 the ice level

sometimes, anyway

It's the most replayable by far, so many choices at the beginning. Ascetics are great too

>Ascetics are great too
lolmao

I remember the item at the end of this being shit too.

you too

Does anyone have the maps that show the full 3d models of Lordran and Drangleic?

It's a bad game I enjoyed playing.

Of all the shit areas in DS2, Shaded Woods feels the most disjointed and haphazard area. Of course the assets, and textures look like shit but the layout, and choice of mobs is completely off too.

I like Dark Souls 2 now listen here this message is very important on the 5th of April a car is gonna crash into you and kill you to avoid it just stay at home all die and quit all your plans, call in sick whatever it takes. Stay safe brother.

Dark Souls 2 is so bad its the only game being discussed and praised on Yas Forums.

Lordran

Yeah but it's still fun.

B-BUT THE WORLDS ARE COLLIDING
B-BUT ITS PART OF THE LORE I SWEAR

Actually, I'd say you're missing out, fortunately the shitty parts of the DLCs are optional bits, the rest of it tends to be pretty solid, and the final boss fights of each DLC are all great. But if I had to pick one over the others it'd be Shulva, really cool stuff.

?? game map overlay is a common technique for when you're running out of disc/cartridge space. fits right into ds2's botched development

I don't understand what I'm looking at here.

kek is this showing that the rooms jut out of the building? Or am I seeing it wrong

It is a bad DARK SOULS game.
And it's not for the reason you posted.

BRAPPED

Then why?

What are the downsides to ascetics? Getting to fight bosses without doing everything over again is great

*SQUAWK*

I'm surprised nobody has made any pics comparing the building interiors of other games to the EMPTY SQUARE ROOMS of DaS2.

>have a faction whose activities absolutely drowns you in souls
>have the blockoff point the lord souls are needed for, be so mundane that if you didn't know beforehand chances are you'd never know
>and if you have enough souls, the path opens even without the lord souls and you truly would never know
All I did was play some co-op to get medals for the sun spear and all of a sudden i had 2M souls and I apparently waltzed straight past the blockade without ever realizing that it had ever been blocked at all.

This happened in two playthroughs. I never even learned what the lord souls were even for before someone here on Yas Forums told me.
Couldn't they like at least have implemented a gate that you actually needed to open yourself or something to give it away?

Soul Memory is its biggest problem.
It disintegrates matchmaking for invasions, pvp & co-op - a major aspect of the game.

cant find the one im looking for but heres this

Exactly.
They're just boxes attached to the wall with trees even clipping through them from the outside.
