Why was fromsofts best game so hated?
Just played it again (bored on lockdown) and fuck a story, it was a methodical, plodding dungeon crawl. From has gone downhill since by trying to speed everything up for zoomers.

Slow souls is indeed best souls.

>positive quality

Yeah, that was the wrong word to use but I'm intoxicated. It's slow but in a good way.

Its a massive casual filter, Demons Souls and Dark Souls were mainstream and accessible enough compared to older FROM RPGs, Dark Souls 2 was carrying the spirit and probably the development team of those older rpgs like Kings Field and Shadow Tower.

this game suffers from terrible enemy placement and funky world design. Has the best dlc bosses out of the whole franchise (and I suppose the best looking dlc areas) I only love this game because of it's dlc and honestly that is terrible it's the only reason I like this game. Half of the main game bosses are actually super fucking stupid and the other half are nice but extremely forgettable.

The best game, Bloodborne, is the most praised and the highest rated. It's also the most discussed game of the series.

DS2 is the best, everyone who plays the games a lot knows this. It has the most weapons, builds, covenants and challenges. If you're a tourist, sure maybe you prefer one of the more casual ones, but DS2 caters to the hardcore fan through and through

Basically, it abandoned everything that made the first two games.
Shit levels, shit bosses, and shit atmosphere. That's what drew people to the first two games, not "muh build autism" or "muh PvP."
Dark Souls 2 feels like a game made by someone that didn't understand what made the series good in the first place.

>has the best DLC bosses
That goes to 3, for the Ringed City bosses.
