    Dark souls 2 changed up how dodge rolls work a bit. You gotta invest a few points into a specific stat to make dodges feel normal. It’s a pretty neat game

      Theory: Nashadra was once attacked by Rykard.
      Rykard was pressured by patches into doing so after patches claimed that nashadra was one of the remnants of Manus from the oolacile incident. Patches was paid by Godrick to do this. Patcehs undid everything

      Dude there are so many problematic mechanics.
      Enemy despawning and the way that humanity works (combined with how very rare human effigies are) are hugely detrimental to the overall experience, _especially_ if you're planning SotFS on your first playthrough, which he likely will.
      The effigy shortage combined with how punishing the following mechanic is especially is really enough to put people off of playing the game entirely all by itself. "Oh, you died to the boss? Well, that sucks. Maybe you'll get them next time with less max hp. Unless you want to risk wasting one of your few effigies just to probably die halfway through the fight again".
      Plus so many of the bosses are just dudes in armor. Like, most of them. Which is kinda tiresome after awhile.
      It's not even properly a Miyazaki game.
      I'm afraid Bro's gonna get to the DLCs, crash out and end up giving up on the trilogy, missing out on DS3, which is arguably the best one.

    Dude I am so happy you're playing Dark Souls 2. I played it for the first time last year and it fuckin rocked. I skipped it for years because I believed the haters, but it turned out to be my favorite Dark Souls game (and 3rd favorite souls game after Bloodborne and Elden Ring). The beginning is a little rough, and admittedly there are a couple of actually bullshit areas, but there are so many creative and interesting ideas, and great NPCS, you can really see how it directly inspired Elden Ring. A couple tips that will massively improve the game for you though, upgrade ADP to 20-25 asap, and don't stress about losing health on death, it looks bad but it really doesn't matter THAT much. Also, you can clear out really BS areas permanently if you kill them enough times. DS2 definitely has some low lows, but I think it also has some of the highest highs in the whole series.

    • @Trevor21230

      @@MateoMatzilla There is no amount of cope that can ever make "Oh you're having trouble in this area? Dying a lot? Maybe you'll have more fun if the game gets harder with every death until you consume a rare resource to reset it!" a good game design choice.

    • @MateoMatzilla
      @MateoMatzilla 4 часа назад

      There's a limit to how much life you lose, and a ring that cuts that limit in half, and you can clear out areas of enemies with a little grinding if it's really bad . There's 100% a couple bullshit areas, but overall I like the tension it adds. But even if it is cope and I'm just lying to myself, DS2 has alot of other cool level designs and gameplay ideas that I think are cool as hell

    Aight fam got some tips before you start
    1. ADP must be leveled to a point where the agility (AGL) stat reaches or surpasses 100, no exception. Should be the first stat you upgrade.
    2. Enemy spam and environmental booby traps are as bad as people say. If you're entering a building or rounding a corner, take out enemies one by one and don't be too impatient.
    3. The rapier. Use it.
    4. Fog walls DO NOT HAVE IFRAMES. Dumb decision but plan accordingly.
    5. Whenever you die, your hp is leeched by 5% up to a cap of 50% unless you use a certain ring, which "generously" reduced it to a 2.5% loss. This can only be revered by ds2's equivalent to humanity sprites. So don't die too much.
    6. This game's areas are harder than the bosses.
    7. This game is overhated. If you feel too frustrated, just take a breather.

    DS2 has some of the worst enemy clusterfucks out of any game they've ever made. It's also very difficult in the beginning because you start with 1 Estus and finding more shards is a huge pain in the ass. Overall I think it's a fun game but you're in for a world of pain.
    Another aspect of the game that is very controversial is you have to level up your s, there is a stat called "adaptability" you have to put points into in order to upgrade your dodge roll it's a terrible fucking mechanic. In addition to this you also lose some of your max health on death (limited to a certain amount) which you have to use an effigy (basically a humanity) to regain.
    Good fucking luck.

    Aight Mr. Davo, basic tip before you even start the game.
    DS2 has a stat called ADP, which insanely, determines how many invincibility frames you have when rolling and how fast you drink your Estus Flask, if you would like to not lose your mind, I recommend getting that stat to around 20 or 25, and then forgetting about it ASAP

I hated it when I first played but after a while I appreciated it and to this day I still enjoy it. All I gotta say is you better be ready for the enemy placement and those boss run backs because they will definitely have you raging haha, cheers brotha it’s great seeing you start another game in the souls trilogy !!

    Try to stay positive! When I played ds2 I had the expectations of the game being extremely bad, and because of that I hated it. But in retrospective, I would have had a better experience if I hadn’t made such a big deal out of every single negative aspect. It’s still a better game than most other video games out there, despite it being my least favorite souls like.

    Ds2 is a great game, but just make sure you level Adp. The adp stat is the worst part about ds2 honestly, because it determines you're s (and i think hotboxes, but i could be wrong on that) so you gotta get it to at least 20 if not higher to get the s of practically every other fromsoft game.

    Glad to see you're giving Dark Souls 2 a chance. There are a lot of faults with this game, but people tend to blow them out of proportion. For me, what Dark Souls 2 excels at is expanding on DS1's metroidvania-style level progression, diversity between environments, and unique gimmicks/interactions with stuff in the environment that you won't find in any other souls game. Combat does lack, so expect that (and level ADP), but out of the 3 Dark Souls games, it certainly is the strongest in terms of exploration. Hope you have fun, looking forward to the playthrough :)

    I may be wrong, but the only people who really like this game are those who had never played another Souls before it ("imprinting", I think?) and people who simply don't particularly like Dark Souls specific formula as a whole. It's not a bad game in and of itself, but you really can't find any of the franchise strong points in it. Leaving aside the shallow placeholder lore (many people don't care about it), some mechanics and maps are atrocioulsy badly designed, and its difficulty comes from how extremely frustrating the gameplay can become with the wrong build. And no matter which build you choose, the time will come when your build will be "the wrong build" for that certain area, and you will experience hell.

Just take your time and dont rush past enemies otherwise you will get overwhelmed easily and get frustrated. Also If you get stuck on a boss runback enemies will stop spawning after you kill them like 10 times

    DS2 gets a lot of unnecessary hate, don’t get me wrong there are some dumbs things in there, but you can make that argument for DS1. Each soulsbourne game improves after the other and it continues to improve and you can feel it in the gameplay

    So people tend to exagerate how bad ds2 is. It's the worst souls, but tbf being the "worst souls" is still a high bar.

    Dark Souls 2 is probably the worst Fromsoft game but it's definitely not bad. Looking forward to the playthrough.
