@@Lucifronz I just recently played and got to NG+2 Drauglec castle (i wanted to kms so many times trying to get the last spells for the platinum trophy just so i didn't had to play DS2 never again), so i can express my current feelings about this because it changed massively about how i saw this game before and now. For me the worst area is Shrine of Amana and second Iron Keep, then Frigid Outskirts, Iron Passage then Cave of the Dead. The why is because these two first areas are 100% required to go through and are CBT both, and in NG+1 and beyond Red Phantoms start to appear everywhere, it made me feel so bad i had to avoid playing any souls until like next month because it truly felt miserable going through those areas 3 times in an row. Eleum Loyce is terrible to go through after getting rid of the storm because every place now is an gankfest with no purpose aside of making exploring feel horrible which in Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, Bloodborne rewarded you, here (and all of DS2 areas) punish you with more ganks and invasions, at least the Ivory King is an good boss, but needing to explore the entire place just to fight him is annoying. Frigid Outskirts is [-h-------------e----------------l----------p-] , Iron Passage the same and both have reskin bosses and one is an gank, so i am not denying that and Iron Passage has mages making you fatroll, nothing more needs to be said. Shulva Sanctum City has very annoying enemies with their shields and spears with cheap placements to kill you easily, but at least theres not that many that i can tile my roof with them like i would Alonne knights and ice spear golems, and it dosen't look that great, Both bosses aside the ganksquad are fine, but can be extremely annoying either by the weapon you have, or RNG with how many times the dragon jumps, or if she immediately summons Veldstadt . Cave of the Dead is Black Gulch 2.0, At least Black Gulch did not have enemies to attack you while being stunned by being poisoned and the boss is easy and has an bonfire infront of it , here it's an oneshot and the enemies are extremely annoying and you can be hit alot in the fogwall, and the boss is THE ganksquad, so thats terrible too. Brume Tower aside of the Brides of Ash and the dumb invasions, it's actually the best of the bunch because the enemies are managable if you want to fight them, and if you dont want you can go past them in several parts, although doors u do need to kill them unless you want it to be Iron Keep 2.0, the game does provide several ways to fight them compared to other places, Both bosses Fume Knight and Alonne the sole reason why i play the entire game in the first place, although having to do the entire game to reach both of them is extremely tiresome. So i would say you are correct in most stuff aside of Brume tower which that one felt the most fair to me (Iron passage kms kms kms kms), but everything else if it burns i wouldn't care the least

Most weapon variation, ring combos, atmosphere in certain areas, leveling that changes certain speeds of drinking, there is a lot of stuff to love in ds2

the one that got me the most was the pursuer with it's stab, I was out and it got me still

the thing that always felt the most fun to me in ds2 was the ranged gameplay, the game gives you the most freedom as a caster than any other souls game, with items like the old iron king crown, playing as a high level hybrid hexer was the most fun i ever had as a ranged combat focused character, the game might be jank and objectively bad compared to all other recent fromsoft titles, and it also becomes clear why if you look at the development history, but i'll always still consider it a good game, and one that definitely has a special place in my heart

I agree on the most criticisms on this game but the take on ds2 fighting multiple mobs at once is the part where I somewhat disagree. This feature is intentional not to make the game hard but to change the repeated playstyle used in the previous game (basically circle strafing and lock-on habbit). This game focuses on how you will do crowd control while not relying on lock-on.

The combat may not be its strong suit with the hitboxes and the mob density, but what i like about the game a lot is the story and the atmosphere, especially in Majula. The world feels like it's closer to an age of dark than the other 2 games, and you can see it everywhere. where there were literal towns in ds1 and 3, there are only ruins left in 2, and all people you encounter are visibly going hollow. The blacksmith lenigrast is a green hollow because he couldn't follow his purpose as a blacksmith and despaired, and all others have already forgotten how or why they came to drangleic. some like maughlin the armorer and Lucatiel lose themselves as their quests progress. The king is a soulless husk. The fire keepers are retired cause even they lost hope and the emerald herald took over to guide the player instead, for selfish reasons. Drangleic castle only has a handful of knights remaining, with all other inhabitants being either dead or lifeless golems. Since Nashandra took over, the entire castle is wrapped in perpetual dark, fitting for a child of Manus. There are a lot more spells, even including an entirely new subclass of dark spells called hexes with their own scaling, since people like Felkin the outcast and darkdiver Grandahl who have a deeper connection to the dark have appeared. The power of the old lords has dwindled to a point where the bosses carrying them barely show them. The Lost sinner has an izalith parasite controlling her, the rotten is nito if he had flesh, just without any necromancy, seaths soul is with a giant mutant spider next to a petrified ancient dragon, and gwyns soul is with a king that burned in the lava of a volcano instead of the first flame. In ds1 and 3 i never link the fire except for achievements because it is against the natural flow of the world and because i hate gwyn with a burning passion for what he did to humanity, so having scholar of the first sin give you a new ending that has you break out of the cycle and free yourself from the curse of hollowing is a huge plus in my book. The bosses might not be particularly challenging, but neither were those in demon's souls. the two games have a lot of design similarities, like the difficulty focusing on areas rather than bosses, the movesets of weapons and parries or the hollowing being a less extreme soul form. what i especially like about ds2's weaponry is that you can buff weapons that have elements on them with spells regardless of the infusion, and that leveling weapons is comparatively cheap since it costs only a few titanite shards.

It was my favorite dark souls because of dual wield combos, being able to fight bosses multiple times, dying having consequences, the map being bigger and the weapons having multiple best choices

I was nostalgic for DS2. Then I replayed it last year and there was shit I forgot about like the loogie cave leading to the rotten, or the shrine of amana, or the friggen ancient dragon, or just iron keep and it’s entire army of skeleton knights.

Most of the things you mentioned are bad, and points against DS2. The world feels smaller than demons souls's (shout out to the final area that you can't access because of... a pillar that is one foot high, and that it magically disappears), the art direction is laughably bad (they outsourced most of the assets to third world countries, look it up), none of the npc quest made sense or fleshed out the world, lore, or the game philosophy (because the game at large doesn't have one, unlike DS1, bloodborne, sekiro, or elden ring). I'll give you that a lot of sets do look cool, and power stancing was a nice idea that they expanded wonderfully on elden ring. Majula is pretty neat too, though I personally prefer the nexus. The biggest downsides of the game for me, other than the terrible, terrible level and boss design, is the music and the animations, they look like PS1 level bad.

It had the best PVP put of any souls games. It had the most build variety out of any of them. Power stancing, heavy, dark, magic, halberds, faith. They all had something to offer

10:04 that's because you didn't beat Aldia because doing that ensures the ending is ACTUALLY COMPLETE(all it needed was narration from the demon with the sexiest voice in all of DS2)

14:51 a legit catch with clunky animation because ds2 prioritizes YOUR roll to finish its animation, but yes ez to say "bad hitbox" but thanks for the slowing the video dude so you can clearly see he finished his roll animation = vulnerable 🤣 and you mistake a teleport animation (same problem as sekiro hello) for a bad hitbox, do you even know WHAT A HITBOX IS?

Here is the thing, before Elden Ring this is what I thought about DS series, I thought DS1 had the best world/lore, DS2 more fun PVP and cosplay/fun builds, DS3 I thought had the best PVE. Elden Ring kinda combined all 3 for me.

DS2 had three major flaws: 1: Estus chugging speed and rolling s are tied to the adaptability stat, in order to make it worth putting points in there they had to make the base values for those slower/fewer than previous titles, thus it feels awful to play at low levels and OP at high levels. 2: Lot of places to go but not much in them. 3: The teaser videos showed what looked like HDR lighting (see the knight with torch teasers), the released version had this taken out, so everything looked washed out, almost full bright and it showed off all the ugly textures.

Dark souls 2 was my first Souls game, thus it will always hold a special place in my heart. Plus Majula will always be my favorite hub, no contest.

Many of the criticism about DS2 are facts, specially with level design, but with exception of reused bosses, asmon is sounding like a whiny noob to me, and if he things the two knights in the "small room" is too unbalanced, so that's disappointing, the boss is manageable pretty simple to beat. multiple enemies gank? oh don't be a weakling, long 2h sword with wide horizontal swing is just one of the ways to deal with this, waiting for the right moment to attack as it has always been in souls games. I started in DS2, then played some years later the DS1 game, though the same as people who played 1 and then 2, most DS1 bosses are easy when you already know how to play the game, some are even disappointing, although the designs in DS1 are much more interesting in general, that's the effect players had with DS2, they played it already knowing how Dark Souls combat works, it makes it a lot easier.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what Fromsoft was going for. The world is meant to feel like a distant memory you cant really distinguish. The repeated bosses, the NG+ enemy placement, the level design, etc. The world has started to shift (which is more explained in DS3). Everyone is going hollow, no one really know how things were. The rooms werent empty, the elevator didnt take you to magma. What's happening is, you *cant remember* what was in the room, you *cant remember* what was in between, so your brain just doesnt put anything there. In NG+, enemies are in new spots, and make you go "huh, was this here i dont remember it", *exactly* like going hollow. It's also meant to represent the story of DS1 repeats over and over, slightly different, but same overall story (which is also elaborated on in 3) As for the repeating bosses, etc, also intentional. They're easier because it's been done over and over already, they repeat sometimes as normal enemies because your memory fails and they blur together, some come from DS1 because of the cycle repeating showing you that it's just the same over and over and over. The ending is supposed to make you realize that what you choose is 100%, utterly and completely irrelevant, because everything will happen again. Yeah some of the arguments for the "DS2's design is intentional" are weak, but the thing is there's just too much to be an accident. And to me, if it's intentional, it's really genius. And I really believe it is intentional, it's very weird that FS would fuck up this bad unknowingly unless, like 99% of what they do, there's a meaning behind it.

DS2 Scholar and DS1 Blighttown Will always be the worst of the souls games areas. DS2 Scholar is the worst because of what it does to the OG DS2 areas.

@@rafabuda0 I brought up DS3 because people praise it and says it's the best Souls game but it also has parts where it's bad.

literally all grabs in every game fromsoft has ever made is some stupid bullshit

The game felt more methodical since everything was slower, I think my second favorite pvp. I definitely admit it feels clunky and understand why people dislike it, but it'll always be one of my favorites. Played it for many many years.

For me it was my favorite pvp because of how slow Estus is, I hate long drawn out fights and its easier to punish healing in ds2

Well yeah it has the best pvp but why are you ignoring all of it's issues, are you saying they don't matter to other people?

@entertainmentgamer1992 I didn't forget about DS1 but DS2 seems to be the one ostracized by the community. I disagree with the statement that DS1 was better gameplay-wise. Content overall could make an argument, but it's all opinion based anyway.

@@subparpt DS2 is only gameplay and thats it, thats the problem except bosses are really bad (ofc besides a few) but the lore was mid and the world design only "looks cool" but makes no sense and the end game castle was so ass
