Bros give it to me straight. Just how bad is it?
I 100% DaS1 some odd years ago and have been putting off continuing it ever since. Realistically, how much will I regret playing this?

With your preconceived notions? Better to not play it. Get fucked.
>best rated Souls game on Metacritic
>bad
I know this is obvious bait from you, OP. But maybe, maybe one day you will stop seething.
It's pretty good, it just looks really bad. Most complete Souls game, best PVP, best DLC areas, weapon/magic variety, etc.
And look at it this way, at least it's not as bad as DSIII
the DLC is the best souls content in the series, at least play it for that.
DS2 is dogshit ignoring shit story, areas bosses, enemy, characters and sound the game play feels like your waist deep in water
It's a really good game.
I don't know. Some people hate it, some love it. I think it is good game. Bit worse level design than DaS1. But everything else is better. And game is not unfinished in second half like DaS1.
It's not awful but it's clearly a middle child. The graphics are mostly dogshit in comparison with the huge leap they took with DaS3.
Honestly you could go either way; wouldn't hurt you to play it before 3, wouldn't hurt you to skip it to get to 3 either.
It's not bait. There isn't a single thread DaS where I haven't seen a great majority of people shit on it for one reason or another. I just wanted to know if it's fundamented or not.
Also I've heard some wonk shit about i-frames being tied to a stat and max health decreasing on each death. What's up with that? There's algo the ugly downgraded graphics but that's universally infamous by now and doesn't really bother me if it's otherwise enjoyable.
