Bros give it to me straight. Just how bad is it?

>regret playing this?
If you liked the first one but want more but with worse atmosphere go for it. Its really not that bad, I've had my fun with it

People hate it cause it's actually hard. Not meme hard like DS1.

no people hate it because its shit

>and max health decreasing on each death.
You lose a small bit of max health on each death, you recover full health with a humanity. Only shitters hate it.

What's the difference between meme hard and actual hard?

>and max health decreasing on each death.
That is true. But you reverse/null that effect once you use the human effigy item (aka Humanity in DaS1). And yes, you can farm it. And the game has limited enemy spawn, but you can use item called bonfire astethic which basically turns the area around the bonfire into NG+(++++), and allows you to fight the same bosses again and farm certain items. If you want. Too bad we didn't see this mechanic in other games.

I installed it yesterday because a friend decided to give it another try (last time we played he dropped it at shaded woods) and coming from playing bloodborne almost daily the camera and movements are clunky as fuck, and I forgot how annoying it is when you start the game that even if you roll enemy attacks still hit you because of adaptability

Dark souls 2 apologists can only spout buzzwords without any kind of actual argument, like this retard

>and max health decreasing on each death.
You mean that feature that was there in Demon's Souls and makes it so turning human is a risk/reward thing? Fucking retard.

>and coming from playing bloodborne
Then go and play the Bloodborne reject

No thanks, both souls sequels suck ass

Not that user, but Dark Souls (1) has some seriously weird meme bosses:
>Capra fight-me-in-toilet Demon
>Taurus you-can-get-pass-me Demon
and let's not forget personal favorite
>The Bed of Chaos

Same except I only got to the forest of fallen giants, the awful controls and camera were enough to make me want to uninstall it and never touch it again

If you really liked ds1 you'll enjoy it and be able to get past the frustrating parts

Samefagging this hard.

Is the worst of the From software souls, but is better than any of the copycat souls like The Surge.

The levels are about as good as the 2nd half of DS1 and the game is overall worse in a few other ways

Yes, faggot. We know that if you post from your PC and phone, and do multiquote, you won't get (You) on both posts. That's not something new. Good try, though.

Oh look, he actually uses both PC and his phone.
Fuck, that was too easy.

About as bad as DS1 depending on your tastes and preferences. Just don't go in expecting it to play the same as the others. It doesn't.

It's okay user, you can't win them all.

You do know I'm the one that posted both and , right?

DS1 is hard only until you understand the controls and if you wander into areas too high level for you. Once that's dealt with, the is concentrated like this
>90% of deaths by falling down ledges
>10% of deaths by hard bosses like Artorias
But the game is overall extremely cheeseable.
DS2 on the other hand it's much more consistent. Enemy placement actually factors into the difficulty and becomes thus something the player has to keep track of during combat. Rolls and shields aren't as reliable. Neither is poise. Bosses are generally more dangerous at least in the early game.

>when you start the game that even if you roll enemy attacks still hit you because of adaptability
Just don't roll through attacks user. It's not such a hard concept to grasp

>have i frames in every single game when rolling
>except in ds2 because reasons
>just get used to it
Fuck your shitty turd of a game

are you completely retarded? ds2 is the very definition of "meme hard". its marketing and even its presentation were based on the "this game will fuck you in the ass" way of thinking. and then all the difficulty came from cheap shit like bad controls, broken hitboxes and enemy spam.
man, ds2 fags are completely delusional, holy shit.

Congratulations, you took 20 minutes to post that while I posted both of mine a minute after his post.

Fuck, all me.

>game play feels like your waist deep in water
You're not used to smooth animation boomer

No

>CHANGE BAD

>People hate it cause it's actually hard
DaS2 is easy.

Better than 3, not as good as 1

Is such ignorance even possible? Is this the peak of buyer's remorse?

I literally started the Sunken City yesterday, why is there so many goddamn enemies??

>doesn't know how to dodge away
>IT'S THE GAME'S FAULT NOT MINE
cringe

>If you level ADP you are a fucking casual
>just let the enemies kill you bro
Are you actually retarded?

THE GAME IS 8/10 NOW STOP MAKING THESE THREADS GOOD FUCKING LORD

It's a great game, stop listening to seething retards on Yas Forums.

>and then all the difficulty came from cheap shit like bad controls, broken hitboxes and enemy spam.
I think the delusional one is here

It's not you colossal retard, if you think ds2 and 3 are good by any stretch then you're a fucking mongoloid

>Best rated souls game on metacritic!
>By paid reviewers
>Worst rated according to users

>DS2 contrarians are so far gone that they've resorted to admitting that 2 is shit and pretending 3 is just as bad in a desperate attempt to drag it down to their level

>ds2 fags actually baiting for you's
pathetic. like your game.

its worth a full playthrough, its not worth playing through multiple times

It's the easiest Souls game by far.
>Enemies despawn if you kill them enough.
>Can increase Iframes to fast roll level and beyond regardless of equip burden.
>Souls are the most abundant they have ever been.
>Unlimited supply of healing wares, very easily obtained.
And a bunch of other small details like no twinking and enemy a.i bugging out.

>memorize boss movements
>repeat fight until you win

only faggots that gain some kind of accomplishment from beating video games can actually enjoy this piece of shit

Yes, iframes are connected to AGI which is boosted by the Adaptability trait. Not a big deal, just sink like 10-15 levels into it.

Yes, your health goes down with each death.

It is actually a fucking great game. Flawed, but great. I like it much more than 3 and bounce back and forth between liking it more than 1, though I love the layout/backtracking/exploration in 1.

Better to not play it and not know what it is. It has nothing to do with the other 2. People saying its good are baiting, its objectively bad.

Literally just beated it a few days ago and I was wondering the same. The game is way worse than the other Souls, but it isn't nearly as bad as some people say it is. I had a lot of fun and some of the areas are pretty good (though is truth some of them are a piece of shit). Overall is a pretty good game, it's just not masterpiece-tier like some of the other Fromsoft/Miyazaki games.

>It has nothing to do with the other 2.
DS1 didn't need a direct sequel.
