To this day its the one Fromsoft game I haven't beaten just because it isnt fun. Everything feels worse. The gameplay somehow feels looser, enemies are way more cheap and will hit you through terrain worse than any other game in the series, map design is horrendous. About the only thing I liked were the NPC's and its version of the firelink.

>>714546716
I swear the SH2 team had to have worked on this DLC. It had the same design philosophy of "just throw a bunch of enemies and a boss at the player at once". The design of the world was horrendous too. What an awful waste of 15 bucks.

Itโ€™s very different from the other games in the series. If you liked the others and were expecting more of that, thereโ€™s a good chance this one is going to be a little too different for your tastes.

To be honest, I like it too. Itโ€™s certainly better than most of the games that are coming out these days. Itโ€™s not my favorite in the soulsborne series, but itโ€™s still a good game.

in all genuine honesty
>people too retarded to actually dodge attacks and moan about adp
>game wants much tougher enemy encounters while also giving you many more tools, many upgrade materials, etc so you have a vast arsenal to deal with it
they actually designed an entire game (bar frigid outskirts) around everything being perfectly easy to roll through without i-frames, and it still gets people endlessly moaning about hitboxes because thats how stupid they are
>>714552440
this logic goes the other way around too, its really not the cause
Lets suppose i like DS1 because of its interconnected world and some route variety in the second third of the game, and then i dont appreciate 2 as much but still like its branching path style. Surely i would be mad as fuck with DS3's railroaded ass map style. Or maybe i liked the more creative sorts of bosses with often varied arenas and gimmicks, and now i constantly have bosses in flat/obstacle-less arenas with rolling being made 999x more powerful and spammable
Heres a thought experiment: Imagine if DeS and DS2 swapped places

he has some wide slashes at times but he still follows DS2 boss logic, you can almost always roll in the right direction for his swings and evade it
only his grab is bullshit, if you dont level ADP the way to dodge it is a little unintuitive, but if you have iframes i assume it should be fine

It's very simple, I think. The majority of people don't like the games for the adventure game aspects like puzzles or challenging traversal the likes of which DS2 did by far the most and the best, they just like specifically the bossfights which DS2 is only good at in terms of having unique but ultimately too easy bosses.

i like them all too, ds3 is the least interesting to me but its still a cool action game and still has all the qualities that make fromsoft games feel better and be more popular/successful than typical fromsoft clones (though i think sekiro did the "more straightfoward action game" thing way better)
but i just genuinely believe most of the complaints about ds2 are a result of struggling/difficulty. it doesnt make sense for people to whine more about clunkiness when actions like jumping and sprinting are so much smoother with less delay, and when so many weapon attacks are faster/less caveman swinging into floor. It doesnt really make sense for people to say it has the worst hitboxes when its blatantly the one with the most forgiving hitboxes that are meant to let you dodge through the combos of every boss (except kings pets) (fuck ice stallions) without relying on much i-frames, moreso actual evasion

If the game had copious i-frames by default, bosses werent built around trying to make you dodge in the right direction, and the game didnt have this formula of "you get more fucked normal enemies but we give you 99x more crafting materials", most of these huge complaints about DS2 would cease to exist

And that's a damn fucking shame desu. King's Field's focus wasn't its bosses. Demon's Souls' focus wasn't its bosses. Feels like From forgot what made its games unique in favor of catering to the masses.

Neither was DS1, but that's the takeaway a lot of people got anyway. The best you get is the interconnected talking point, but I'd say the maps being connected is such a small almost meaningless point compared to what actually made the level design in DS1 good.

There's a lot of smart enemy placement and great level design there, from the place where you are chased down by wolves calling each other to the Followers being placed for ambushes through cliffs and sideroads, but you retards are rain damaged and think level design means just castles
