DS2 is the only soulslike I've ever abandoned.
We know you suck at games, you don't need to tell us.
Funny how I didn't suck at any of the other soulsgames, just the infamously tedious and half-assed one...
If you want to spend all day in shoutbox jacking off with the other retards that's up to you. But Dark souls 2 is the best soulslike after demons souls and it's not even close.
But it's terrible. All the changes the B team made from the original Dark Souls were for the worse.

Yea yea tranny boy. We've heard all you spastics crying about the 'b team' because they actually valued RPG elements and making you manage your stamina. Go back to your gymnastic boss rushes and let the adults discuss the good souls games in peace.

No, seriously. The breakable chests, limit on enemy respawning, ridiculously awful enemy attack tracking, nonsensical level arrangement, useless new stats, shitty healing mechanic, it's like these talentless hacks decided that the secret to soulsgame success is making them punishingly difficult and waste player time, and also didn't have the skills to design too many non-humanoid bosses or fine-tune their attacks. They shat out this parody of dark souls as a sequel, and then midwits like you gobbled it up coz it's le hardcore, even though it's objectively the worst souls game that FromSoft has ever developed.

I agree. even the "recycled assets" DS 3 manages to be more choesive and fun than 2.
the two thing already mentioned that alone break the whole experience for me are the floaty animations and oppressive enemy density.

The only good Dark Souls is 1 and that was purely an accident.
the only masterpiece game is DS 1. DS3 was mediocre, ER just a bit better overall considering all the content it has, but also all the issues. Sekiro is fantastic action game.
DS 2? ... made by people without an idea

To be fair DS 2 has some great locations such as majula with its theme, but that's not enough to carry an AA action RPG

The breakable chests
Oh no, you have to be careful with chests instead of whacking them to check if they're a mimic with no downside. How terrible to force players to pay attention!
ridiculously awful enemy attack tracking,
Dark souls 3 and Elden ring are significantly worse.
nonsensical level arrangement
Every souls have has shitty level arrangement. Even Dark souls 1 is questionable as fuck when you have a wet swamp 2 foot from a volcano on one side and 2 foot from the worlds biggest ocean and beach on the other. If you're going to cry an elevator ruined your experience you were never having an experience worth playing.
useless new stats
I don't like ADP but it's obviously an attempt to fix the 3 roll system.
shitty healing mechanic
Oh no, how dare the game have healing items. Let me ignore every single other souls game has them too.
t's like these talentless hacks decided that the secret to soulsgame success is making them punishingly difficult and waste player time
I'm glad we agree Miyazaki is a talentless hack and decided to waste players time and make overly punishing bosses with Elden ring. I hope we can continue to agree he's a shitty director and the reason why Demon's souls is so good is it was mostly finished before he hijacked it.

Yea, except your retorts are so incredibly stupid, they barely deserve an answer. But here goes: Elden Ring isn't punishingly difficult, it's easier than both DS1 and DS3, lol. You basically had to agree that the new stats were useless and made the game worse. And no, DS3 and ER do not have more bullshitty enemy attacks than DS2, where the animation doesn't match the actual attack and the enemies rotate wildly like a lazy susan with a homing missile.

Even Dark souls 1 is questionable as fuck when you have a wet swamp 2 foot from a volcano on one side and 2 foot from the worlds biggest ocean and beach on the other.
But it's not "2 foot from", both locations are deep underground, and the swamp is at ground level and formed from all the sludge pouring down from the sewers, in case you missed that detail on account of being an imbecile.

The way DS2 arranges its levels, otoh, is literally nonsensical.
