You can only save one (1)

Yeah, but you need a magic ring for that, which takes up one of only TWO slots in DS1, so it's a whole different story.

DS2 is the only Dark Souls game that feels like Dark Souls. DS1 just feels like Demon's Souls 2.0 and DS3 just feels like Bloodborne 2.0. DS2 has a unique combat system that really feels like it was meant for Dark Souls.

>uh sorry this giant windmill in an acidic mountain swamp was realistic until it had an elevator to a lava castle 0/10 shit game

It's fun

Probably Bloodborne. They all play almost exactly the same but Bloodborne has some ridiculously amazing atmosphere

>They all play almost exactly the same
DS3 fucked that up then

>best combat physics
combat floaty and slippery, ds1 is much better

> floaty and slippery
That's DS3borne. DS2's feels perfect

no one does, they're just being contrarians

>best boss designs
lol no

>which takes up one of only TWO slots in DS
yeah you don't want one of the best rings in the game taking up one of your ring slots

I'd take ds1's simple but working combat over ds2's clunky unresponsive garbage any day.

It's a meme to rile up the fanbase
Kinda like how ponyshit started as an elaborate troll and some took it too far and it consumed them
Same with DS2fags
And I don't even dislike the game. I applaud it for at least trying something different. It was just for every good decision they made they made three equally retarded decisions

fuck off retard, there's a limit to suspension of disbelief
'this place is filled with poison'
'this is a palace built near lava'
is more believable than
'you take a 10 second elevator up from an elevator into the bottom of a lava lake, and no you can't see said lava lake from the ground'
fuck ds2 faggots are the worst

I wish I could delude myself into enjoying objectively worse games just like you user

> It's a meme to rile up the fanbase
Not for me it isn't. In 2016 I bought an Xbox One and played straight through all three Dark Souls games back to back. All of them for the first time, I never played a soulslike before that. And my favorite was DS2 from the very start, long before I started trolling about it on the internet. The fact that it causes so much butthurt when I say it's my favorite is just a bonus.

Things Dark Souls 2 did that were far better than Dark Souls 3:

>No bonfire and no death challenge where you can beat the game without resting at a bonfire or dying to gain a cool reward and bragging rights

>Non-linear first half of the game allows you to rush straight to the areas of the game that contain the items for your build and also allows for much greater replayability

>Chugging Estus immobilizes you, and the heal isn't instantaneous meaning trying to chug while someone is close to you can result in death. Chugging more than one estus will greatly speed up the healing at the cost of depleting your estus faster

>Phantoms and Dark Spirits cannot chug estus, spirits can only heal via spells which is slow unless they gimp themselves by taking Great Heal Excerpt which has only 1/3 as many casts as regular Great Heal. This makes fighting hosts and phantoms together much more enjoyable since any damage you do sticks

>Stamina regeneration is tied to weight, so a character at 10% burden will recover their bar faster than a character at 70% burden, giving a reason to make a low burden character

>Poise exists and armor provides relevant, but not overpowering damage reduction, giving a reason to make a high burden character

>You can only perform four rolls before running out of stamina rather than almost infinite roll chains

>You can only perform 5 attacks of a rapier or straight sword before running out of stamina and even fewer attacks with heavier weapons rather than constant r1 spam of almost any weapon. Also ultra weapon heavy attacks are unparryable, giving them an actual use in PvP rather than just being parry/backstab bait

>Parrying has longer recovery frames and consumes more stamina, timings also change based on what weapon or shield you parry with making parry fishing riskier and making parrying require higher skill

1/2

>best boss designs

oh lawd he comin

>Power stance allows for unique combinations of dual wielding and unlocking an alternative moveset for weapons. While dual weapons in DS3 were good they were severely limited and almost every single one was just two of the same weapon rather than interesting weapon combinations

>Armor and weapons affect your spells, doing everything from giving you faster casting speed, longer lasting buffs, more raw damage and more spell slots meaning spellcasters have their own dedicated equipment

>Many different weapons and shields allow for spellcasting, giving variety. White DS3 had these as well their performance was so bad that they might as well not have been in the game. Also DS3 didn't have any shield catalysts

>Spells in general are just so much better, their damage scales better, spell casting speed scales better and the number of casts scales off of attunement, making it worthwhile to invest in spellcasting stats beyond the minimum required stats to cast the magic. This makes playing a dedicated spellcaster not only viable both in and out of PvP, but also actually fun to play

>You're able to use the full moveset of a weapon in your off-hand including running, rolling, backstepping, etc. attacks rather than just being able to do a basic R1 swing and blocking with the weapon as it is in Ds3 (who would ever want to weapon block?)

>Bell Tower covenant providing two unique optional areas to PvP for Titanite Chunks, Slabs, and Twinkling, making farming for upgrades fun

>Bonfire ascetics allow you to replay levels and bosses you enjoyed fighting or gain items from NG+ and beyond without grinding through the whole game again

2/2

>I don't like thing so nobody else does either

Is this sarcasm? Because that armor is seriously awesome, and this was a really cool battle with the whole gimmick of being able to lower parts of the boss room and push him off the ledge

Like every other high iq user in this thread i would pick Ds2 without doubt.

3 is shit

I don't have the 'bone anymore. The only games I played on it were COD (I was in high school, OK) and the DS trilogy. I'm now a PC gamer with a custom rig.

Ornstein wasn't in 3

But his level was, and you fight a new boss in his bossroom

how do you go from designs such as this...
