Dark Souls 2 lacks soul and feels like fan fiction. It kinda shows how much Miyazaki and co affected Demon's and Dark and gave them the feeling that makes me love them so. Dark 2 is just really disappointing. It feels better gameplay wise and is way more anime (which sucks), so I can see why people prefer it even if they're still wrong about their poor life choices.

I don't even get how people praise it for gameplay. Everything is floaty and unsatisfying.

I really don't like to talk about which Dark Souls game is better, because I love both DS1 and DS2.

 

[CrazyDiamond]

I loved how there's an upside down Sacrifice mark on the customization screen. Just fucking make a Berserk game already Miyazaki!

My roommate still thinks Souls 2 is better than 1
sighhhhhh

Change the locks.

 

[jack_package_200]

I actually think DkS2 is far harder and punishes people for making mistaks with the hallowing health bar. If you don't get to/find the Cling Ring you can end up sitting on half of a starting health bar.

I was probably speaking from my own experience.

I found the first few areas easy (Forest of the Fallen Giants, Heide's Tower of Flame) were easy provided I took my time.

Plus the game was generous with human effigies from what I remember.

I look forward to the remaster

If you're actually bad at the game, it's a cumulative effect of giving you less and less room for mistakes if you fail.

I tried sketching the UNICORN once, I never got past the head.

Well, unicorns can only be tamed by virgines.

I find the trick is to not give a shit whether it looks good. But you'll see that for yourself when I post them.

Never thought about that before

The tutorial spelled out how gameplay worked. I learned to have a deliberate and slow pace. It taught me to be lame.

The combat does feel more light than the other games, and some of the mechanics are nerfed too hard, like parrying, but overall it still feels fine.

I'm just saying, for absolute beginners it's punishing to a fault. DeS is more designed around the assumption that you have 50% or 70% of your health bar with enemy damage output. DkS2's gradual change actually feels more punishing with the big damage everything puts out.

That's hardly my biggest complaint anyway, but whatevs. I feel kinda strongly on this.

I think I'm going to enjoy this BB LP quite a bit (which is good, since it's as close as I'm going to get to actually playing it for a while still.)

Arguably, DeS is the harshest to beginners, as dying in human form actually makes the game harder, as it affects World Tendency.

That's why I tell beginners to never go human. Ever. Just stay in soul form.

There are 3 versions of it: Normal, Uncanny and Lost. The only known differences being the Gem Imprints and the locations in which they are found.

I personally love it. It's a rushdown weapon, with two forms that are both equally useful.

Has no range, but with the movement options available to you, it works out.

Sorta, but with Cling Ring you should basically be fine staying like that. Going human is a risk, but the game doesn't exactly expect you to. At least, I don't think it does.

It's super goofy and cool. You should make a LTTP on the whole Persona series when you finish all of them btw.

It should be pretty good. Mainly cause they're switching off every death. Might keep it interesting.

The second point was about DS2.

It's great. P3P and P4G have even more of these types of interactions so look forward to that.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Yeah, hence the bloodstains in the Nexus. Still, I always thought it was an alright push and pull, but now we're getting into vague definitions of "difficulty". I think even with some mild World Tendency buildup it's not bad.

As you can tell by my pictures, I'm a professional artist, and I've never worked at it a day in my life. You can just kinda slide your way by on the bare minimum of effort if you call your stuff postmodern, trust me.

It's minor, but for some, who aren't particularly patient, there is a way to make the game easier.
