I love the art I hate the characters, not all but almost all secondary The companions are really boring i only like 3 or 4 of them Races mean nothing, they are just skins, a elf who can live 800 years thinks, behaves exactly the same as a human who lives 60

I found this video because six hours in I am wondering why this game has such great reviews, I agree with everything said in the video.

This is such an L opinion. This are all clearly a YOU problem, playing a game that is not suited to your taste. Outside of all the bugs and glitches that had been fixed since the time of the video release, all problems you had with the game stem from you never learning how to play it, and refusing to learn it when the game give you the option to. You don't need to stress over spells and actions, just pick whatever fit you build best and run with it. The spell doesn't work for you as you thought it would? Just remove it on your next level up and put a different one in it's place. Moreover, respacing your character is extremely easy and practically free, just speak to the NPC in your camp, pay the 100 coins you voila! It's also such an L point to complain about dialogue in a game that is BUILT AROUD the dialogue! IDK if you are aware of it, but DnD as a whole is based on character interactions, which is 90% dialogue that progresses the story. So all the character emotion dumping you complain about IS the main gameplay! The combat is more of a way to progress missions/ world events anything else, deciding which characters would live and which will die in the next acts of the game. All story progression is done through dialogue, all companion romances, their personal quests, and quest outcomes in general. So if you don't like dialogue heavy games, why did chose to play one? And as someone who reloads a shit- ton of times to get the dice roll results I want, you are reloading waaaay too often! I can understand reloading a failed dice roll in a critical moment, or when the combat doesn't go your way, but reloading just because you missed attack on the enemy is far too excessive. Honestly, missing attacks in a big battle is part of the fun, be as annoying of an outcome on a boss battle as it can be. It teaches you more than anything how to better use your actions and spells, and calculate your odds before missing the next attack as well. And it's just a good way to shake up the battle itself, leading your combat to unexpected results, some of which can quite literally affect the rest of the story!

Even worse, once you actually GET into the game and characters, you come to the point where the propaganda is so obvious, it’s not even hidden anymore. I really don’t give a shit about what religion you are, if you wish to be an atheist or Satanist go on! But please, just stop saying gods are evil and Hell is real and absolute freedom is pinnacle of every man’s existence. I am not a Satanist, I will never be, and I play my games for fun, not to listen to each one of these characters lowkey moralizing to me every time we talk. Then you manage to push through the propaganda, anti-religious notions and blatant Satanism, telling yourself:”It’s just a game, it’s in the lore!” But then the game suddenly starts pulling out game-breaking bugs such as your characters starting with 0 action points although they’ve literally just been standing in place and not moving, constant FPS drops and blurry textures, and every single encounter in Act 3 is also so difficult, you have no choice but to min-max your build every single time. Fuck. That. I play games for fun, and this game made me uninstall it 10 times already, and I somehow always install it back thinking I’ll find something redeeming about this garbage. Spoiler alert, I never do.

I can’t believe you got mad at a skipsble cutscene about a woman playing a song she just wrote about her best friend who died.

This is a game for people that like to stop and think not for crack Fortnite boys. 😂

Liked it until Act III. Haven’t touched the game since coz I feels like a chore

It’s fun but buggy

I wish to plumb the depths of long-forgotten ruins, but everyone else seems interested in plumbing the depths of my trousers.

I was beginning to think I was alone

You should mention that it becomes less relevant the higher your resolution. There's way fewer inherent sampling issues in 4K than 1080p than 480p. 4K probably doesn't need any AA, but 480p will probably benefits from cranking it all the way to 16x. In fact the most basic old school methods essentially just render at a higher resolution - with some tricks for performance.

7:27 Dialogue in this game feels "off" somehow, both in what is spoken and overacted like in an actual theatre. It is, however, fairly dialogue- and textlight compared to many other rpgs I've played.

I've been in this situation. Beloved game wins awards and I still can't enjoy it. It's okay! You can dislike technically good games. Just for you guys in the comments: You don't need to do mental gymnastics and point subjective statements claiming the game is bad. You can just say that the game isn't for you :)

I tried so hard because I really wanted to get immersed into this game… But I just couldn’t! I tried. Just not for me like you I was so bored.

“If you’re reaction to every non perfect situation is to reload” I talk to Isabel I get into combat and die, I ambush the spider cultist I die and if I talk to Oliver I die, everything seems to kill me and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong

1 - enemies despawn when combats starts 2- slow stale and boring top down 3 - horrible characters with little to no depth to them. Hate them all😅

Umm but how

How does it feel to have been so wrong?

As a non English speaker, I understood nothing, have a good day 👍

Thanks for helping me make my mind up with this game. In a single player game I don’t want to have to micromanage 3 other characters as well especially as I’m new to D&D.

I like the game but this is funny and I agree with a lot of it

as a ps5 player the worst part of all of this is i spent 75$ on a heep of crap and because they won't make it on CD, i can't even make some of my money. back. and yes, everything he said was a 100% true. This game is so broken. It's unreal. i love the story. hell, i play ffxiv. That's 7 expressions on sorty and lore, and i love it! but this.. i would rather go play lord of the fallen before they patched it to be a decent game. and if you ever played that one you know how had i feel this one is

I really, really wanted to like this game but it's just sooo complicated and boring: 1. Every Level up feels like homework because you have to read through 100 new spells and decide what might be best for 4 classes at a time even if you have no clue. 2. The camera feels outdated 3. The characters are boring 4. Every dialog is super long and there are 1000's of them. 5. Honestly the Graphics look outdated 6. The combat system is super hard to get into and frustrating because of minor mistakes 7. Even over a year after release, there are crashes that send you back hours of playtime if you forgot to quicksafe. I'm done.

DS2 is great sword and shield game. Was my first souls game and i fell in love with it when i got "glue ur finger to left bumper" advice.

I was having a blast playing this game......... until the first battle started. It went downhill from there. They don't even give you a run button in the world.

Love ds2

Yoo, the quality of this video is phenomenal keep it up, i agree with most of the topics made in the video, but i just have to say that after a while of playing DS2, i feel like you just get used to that "janky" feeling of the game and eventually it becomes a great experience overall, suddently the frustation you had in certain aspects goes away. At least that was how my experience went playing this game.

There are two type of From fans, those who played DS2, and those who did not. I love the insane gimmicky level designs in Dark Souls 2, you can see a lot of this heavily inspired throughout Nioh 2. I miss that shit.

I can definitely relate. The beginning of my experience was almost one-to-one, both in terms of mechanics and progression. Finished the Forest with Pursuer, went to Bastille, then back to Heide where the enemies made me think, "Should I be here right now?" I also missed the destructible shortcut in Bastille, so I did the whole thing later from the Wharf's side. Even as a newcomer to the series, I was suspicious of the hitboxes. But as I got better (and leveled ADP to 30), I began to get hit less. I assumed it really was a skill issue... until I got to NG+. For the most part, I was walking through areas and bosses no problem on my second journey, but with the higher enemy damage and imprecise camera/controls I began to notice the actual issues. It's practically useless, for example, to use lock-on with beast-like bosses (Rat Authority, Guardian Dragon, etc.), because it keeps targeting the belly, which I couldn't reach. And where I could reliably learn to dodge humanoid boss' attacks, the animals' attacks would slide me all over the place, even if I avoided damage. Even with Sinh, who had the option to target specific legs, it was easier to lock off and just hit him myself. Aava was the worst offender, though. I kept getting stuck under her while dodging, and her swipes would move my character all over the place, even if I avoided damage. And, of course, I started to notice the insane hitboxes, being more familiar with enemies and more confident in my skills. Not to mention the fact that bosses like Aava delete half my health bar in ONE SWIPE, despite Vigor being in the 80s and having modest defense stats. Even after all that complaining, I still love Dark Souls 2. It's definitely frustrating to have circled back around to having problems after having breezed through the last 40 hours of my first playthrough. Specifically, problems born of game design, rather than player mastery. Personally, I'm skeptical that DS1 is really as smooth and precise as people claim, but I'm still excited to get to it, after one final push through NG++ for DS2's plat. Even if the other games turn out to be better, I don't think I'll ever hate DS2. The lore, the core experience, and even the clear passion and ambition from the developers (you GO, B-team!) really inspired me!

Hello?

Good video, Bottom of the barrel souls game

was my first and only dark souls i finished i loved it

Such a great game.

DS2 > DS1 & DS3

I don't hate this game,in my opinion it's a complete upgrade to ds1 in every aspect,and ADP is just not a problem , just dump your souls that you gained from Last giant to ADP and you are good to go,my favorite things about this game is the bosses having various moves,music and the art direction

Nice one😊

Hawk tuah

The attention span of a 5 year old.

There is no right way to play the game, and also, i feel like you shouldn't try to experience everything at once. engage with the content you're enjoying the rest can come later.

OIK feels like an old-school boss battle from the SNES era the way you just strafe around all of his moves lmao

Gg

It's an RPG folks. The story doesn't matter.

3:37 In Genshin Impact you can change between SMAA and FSR 2.. What is FSR 2?

Now you need to be 0.05% happier because i just subscribed to your channel

Dude smelter demon is so easy
