This isn't some misunderstood masterpiece nor le underatted gem, it's a clunky, boring computer game that is a 6/10 at the very best, There is a reason this game is still made fun of eleven years later; that reason is the game isn't very good. There's nothing else to it.

What makes it so bad?

>>715399571 (OP)
It's 9/10 rock solid jank kino mit sovl, literally my bread and butter.

Well, the enemies do things and you cant iframe through fogwalls. And sometimes even when you roll like, i dont know, 4 or 5 times the game just stops you from rolling again. It's totally bugged.

>>715399840
I simply don't care about that.

>>715399840
>you cant iframe through fogwalls
I have never even tried to do that. Sounds buggy, but I don't really care since there is very rarely any reason to do it.
>sometimes even when you roll like, i dont know, 4 or 5 times the game just stops you from rolling again
This has never happened to me in 5 playthroughs, but I'm really sorry that happened to you I guess.

This. These 2 failed to live up to Kingsfield and shadow towers impossibly high standards. But a 6/10 is still preferable to the 0/10 that is Dark souls 3

>>715400076
Thats not shadow tower

>>715400498
>Kingsfield and shadow towers impossibly high standards

>>715399571 (OP)
Wrong

>no argument
Typical zoomer hivemind defensive post

It's pure sovlfvl kino, obtain better taste OP

It looks like DS2 is the only good souls game

So are you all just bots?

>>715399571 (OP)
You sound mad that people like it.

>>715399648
I recommend you watch Maulers analysis. It's a comprehensive breakdown of all its objective faults.

>skill issue the thread
ds2 filters another one

>>715400896
>Watch this 9385869483924 hour long video made by a random guy to understand why this thing you like is bad.

Replaying DS2 is more fun than replaying DS1, it's not even close.

>>715400896
skill issue

>>715399571 (OP)
I like all the souls games I think they are very fun and it's very rewarding to finally beat the boss.

>>715399648
It was better than Dragon Age: Inquisition can't believe that wannabe MMO piece of shit won game of the year in 2014.

>>715401106
I think it’s because the worst part of DS2 is getting started. But DS1 kinda tapers off as you go.

>>715400896
I did, he made an absolute statement about fromsoft. And like every bandwagonning nu fromslop fanboy he assumed they poofed into existence in 2009 but he also completely ignores 3rd gen portable and AC5/V. He said EVERY fromsoft game has covenants,bonefires and swords and sorcery when Echonight and evergrace obviously dont.
Mauler is a pseud incarnate who cant be arsed to do 2 seconds of research on his favorite game studio before making absolute statements

>>715399571 (OP)
The music was better

>>715399571 (OP)
i like the atmosphere. it feels very lonely like you're going through the ruins of a fallen kingdom (all souls games do this but this one does it better)

>>715399571 (OP)
It's my favorite of them all and the only one i've replayed once i've finished it.

>>715400896
last time i watched a video game essayist on youtube he said pic related was an impossible encounter because there are too many enemies and it forces you to run past everything.

These essay people are not that good at the games and they barely understand them. That one guy making essay posts about how malenia had new mechanics and its not fair also had no idea what he was talking about
#1 the mechanics he said were new have been in the games for like 15+ years
#2 even if it was true that it was new, a boss having a new mechanic in a game isnt even a bad thing

>>715400896
Did not a single reply so far not realize you were taking the piss lmao?

>>715401931
It's unironically true though
