DS2 fans think The Pursuer is a good boss fight

He's literally the best boss in the game.

who the fuck even was he
was there more than one?

Well, now you know these retards:
It's far more common than you think

seethe

He was alright.

>Change his slow burn passive to a slow self heal to force the player to get more aggressive

Someone post the webm. The new one.

Did vanilla DS2 even have good bossfights? Lost Sinner was decent and Smelter/Old Iron King are at least memorable, but I wouldnt really want to call them good bossfights.

The DLC had some great ones though

Like clockwork. Thanks.
>Is this... to easy for you?

Darklurker is cool.

Veldstadt, Throne Duo, Giant King, Ruin Sentinels.
I'm sure there are some other too.

>That move where the Heide Knight stands completely still for several seconds, then suddenly swings with zero windup
>The first few times I saw it I unironically thought it was an AI bug and got caught completely off guard
Unironically one of the most based moves from an enemy. Too bad Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne didn't have any enemies that did that.

>Throne Duo, Giant King
Big yikes!

Velstadt's okay and Ruin Sentinels are surprisingly good.

You seem like the type of person who would think jumpscares are the pinnacle of horror.

>Ruin Sentinels
bona fide XD moment

Isn’t Giant Lord just The Last Giant? I fought him and he got RAEPED

Veldstadt is decent, but way too easy. The other 3 are absolutely abhorrent, fuck off.

I don't get it. Why do you faggots care about this so much? Look at just about any other game series and they can have a thread about the series with people discussing different installments like normal fucking adults.

Why is this series any different? Is the "fanbase" average age 6 years old or something?

Nah faggot, I think it's a unique take on designing a "hard to predict" move. Every other "hard to predict" move is either a combo extender or has a prolonged windup to bait early rolling/parrying. Both of which has been done to death, especially in Sekiro.

I know. A roster thread died for this shit.

This is the only good fight in DS2

Why is simply "hard to predict" your basis for good gameplay? Instant animations without telegraph are indeed hard to predict, as you said, but I really don't see how that is engaging to play against. Which is why I brought up jumpscares; they're both just cheap surprises that catch the audience off-guard and retards get pleasure from experiencing that.
That Heide Knight attack punishes the play for no failing on their part, whereas a properly designed "hard to predict" move should punish the player for a mistake they made. Such as the prolonged windup moves you referenced; they punish players who just instinctively roll or parry the moment the enemy does anything, rather than waiting for the attack to actually be unleashed.

This is the only good fight in DS2.

I don't remember this guy in dead space. Was it in some dlc?

the dlc fights were the best in the game, except the ice dlc, the two tigers and the ivory king fights were cancer

whats the matter cupcake? too TOXIC for you?

It's easy

Who the fuck are they supposed to be, and why is the guy in the back wearing such a mish-mash of armor sets?

conceptually it's good.
i love it when some dickhead follows you throughout a game and you have to constantly fight him. (nearly every mario rpg does this)
Forlorn outdoes him on his own niche, though.

The fact that invasions happened even when you were hollow on top of the Pursuer gave the game soul

Dark Souls 2 is a terrible game

He's neat, but he could have been better.
It would have been better if he attacked you more, being stronger and having new moves witch each new encounter.

DS2 in general is a collective of cool ideas that could have been better implemented

Not saying the prolonged windups are bad, it's that they've been done to death without much variety.
Heide Knight's is technically telegraphed (the knight standing still for a few seconds), it's just impossible to recognize if you don't know about it. Yeah it's admittedly cheap the first time, but it's not like there's absolutely zero windup to it. It's also only one swing so it's not too bullshit.
You're right that the typical prolonged windup is more fair than Heide Knight's, but I like it because it's a pretty unique twist on it not seen in other enemies (admittedly because it would be annoying if more than one enemy did it). Also because it's very satisfying to parry.

best Dark Souls game because it knows you don't need every other fight to be some boss with 3 phases

remember when the executioner's chariot was supposed to follow you around the game and fuck you up

>FROM FANS THINK THEIR GAMES ARE BETTER THAN NIOH 2
It's sad really.

they're supposed to be grave robbers stealing shit and loot from the sunken kingdom

Yeah, Pursuer was trash. Now DS3, that one has truly good bosses!

The Ringed City bosses were the only good bosses in the game.

>nameless kino wasn't good
this board's finished

Abyss Watchers? Pontiff? Dancer? Dragonslayer Armour? Gundyr 2.0? Lothric bros? Nameless Kang? You gonna tell me all of those bosses sucked?

Attached: hqdefault.jpg (480x360, 8.87K)

lol yes! Git gud scrub!

Watchers, Dancer, DSA, L&L, and Cinder were all awesome
I feel like Wolnir could have been decent if he was more dangerous and didn't die in five seconds
He was a good scare the first time you play the game

He was decent, but he's got a pretty limited moveset. Also he telegraphs for days, so he's easy to fight, which might make him more favored. Until , anyways.

Ludwig and Maria are better bosses than anything in Dark Souls.

Was Wolnir really the BotC?

Are you angry because he kills you over and over? How shit of a player can you be? You walk towards his shield and nullify every single attack except for the horizontal swing, which you roll through. It's a shit fight because it's so easy to cheese.

>inb4Cinders

Nameless King and Dragonslayer Armour are good, but that’s it. All of the other bosses are shit.
Demon Prince, Midir, Gael and Fume Knight are better. Orphan of Kos and Gehrman are better than any Souls boss though.

maria sucks as a boss and she also sucks black cock
