DaS = DaS3 = Bloodborne > DeS > > > DaS 2

I agree with the pic but not your assertion.

>2 is my favourite souls game
>people get mad at me for something objective

you have objectively bad taste though

no I don't.

1's far too tedious
3's far too linear
2's just right

>no I don't.
Sorry m8, you do. Just accept it.

bit rude

this is Sup Forums. You either follow the hivemind or you btfo

DS3 is worse than DS2.

2 is the best in every way besides graphics, it's really bad in that regard

>dark souls
>literally unfinished areas everywhere
>good

Lol

DS2 has way more paths than those if you include the DLCs.

Amen

>never played DeS

>150 hours in DS3

opinions are opinions but I enjoy the fuck out of 3

Thats why i like dark souls 2 the best

Dark Souls 1: unfinished bosses
Dark Souls 2: ganksquad bosses
Dark Souls 3: dual wield animu bosses

Nothing to laugh about, it's very sad since it was supposed to be a return to form with Miyazaki.

Maybe the DLCs can fix it, if they can be access early enough in the run so the first 60% of the game isn't a tunnel.

>opinions are opinions
Yes, and you don't really get to have one ITT.

The only thing DS3 does better than DS2 is removing soul memory, prove me wrong

you can't

That picture is woefully inaccurate. I made a better one.

I can't enjoy a game because I didn't play the other ones that might have been better

You mean subjective, faggot.

Also the final boss.

Same

Dark Souls 1 isn't a Metroidvania, though.

Dark Souls: Metroidvania
Dark Souls 2: Grand fuck up
Dark Souls 3: Beat 'em up

Eh, each of the games had neat sections but at the same time they also shit the bed in different ways.
Dark souls 1 shit the bed by being 75% of a game and the last 25% was hastely done to release it on time.
Dark souls 2 shit the bed by making weapons break in three hits, having soul memory, and scraping the original lighting system so most late game areas looked half baked and barren.
Dark souls 3 shit the bed by trying to be bloodborne's speed, craming 2000 too many references to the first game in, and never really trying to make its own name.

Seriously, stop praising these games if you're not gonna admit they all have their own faults.

This

You can, but it still makes your opinion ITT worthless.

bloodborne should have a couple lines that loop back around

The OP picture describes individual levels not the shape of the world. DS2 had more branches in the world than DS3, but the levels themselves were more linear.

I honestly think 3 is the best of them all.
One was great, and set the tone better than 3, but the fact that it wasn't finished sort of hurts it.
2 was okay, but wasn't the same as it's predecessor. It had the dark souls feel, but it felt shallow, and lacking.
3 had the dark souls feel (although it played a bit off of nastolgia), and had improved mechanics that the team learned from working on bloodborn.

It's unfair to compare them all quite yet though, considering DS3 hasn't gotten it's DLC yet.

>Pre-DLC bosses that aren't shit
>better graphics
>larger areas with actual shortcuts

But that's about it, sadly.

>Dark souls 2 shit the bed by making weapons break in three hits
Except that's not objectively a bad thing. Unless you're the world's most boring man, you upgrade more than one weapon as you go. Just because you meme'd your way through DaS1 with nothing but a Zaphander doesn't mean you should expect it to work in the sequel.

DS1 and DS2 are harder than DS3, if you mastered and liked DS3, go play those.

The weapon breaking thing is a non issue outside of coop and only really affects spear users attacking through enemies as they die and become ragdolls.

i-frames aren't tied to a stat
no life gems
consumable invasion items only
shortcuts (lol that plank you can push down next to a bonfire)
360 degree spinny enemy tracking

Honestly, I've forgotten a lot of DS2

>shortcuts (lol that plank you can push down next to a bonfire)

that's a shortcut for invaders, otherwise they'd be stuck waiting for you.

dark souls 2 easily had the best parrying because you had to make your shield or fist make phsyical contact with the weapon's hitbox during the parry frames to successfully parry it

meanwhile 1 and 3 are twitch parry to win

>that's a shortcut for invaders
Oh, excuse me, that makes it ok and not at all poor level design.

>The only thing DS3 does better than DS2 is removing soul memory
>"I'll ignore those things he said and bring up parrying! That'll show em!"

I don't even like DaS3, but you DaS2 babbies are so cute.

>this shitty discussion continues even on Sup Forums
>people aren't allowed to enjoy different games

Dark Souls is not a fucking Metroidvania.

How come?

>how to spot a dark souls 2 fan: the post

well to be fair you're also a fucking moron who doesn't know the difference between objective and subjective

I admit I prefer DaS2, but I'm not going to praise it over the other games since I have more things to do.

>since I have more things to do.

Dark Souls: Dark Souls
Dark Souls 2: Bullshit Souls
Dark Souls 3: Casual Souls

Accurate?

Shitposting on /r9k/ takes away all my time, what can I do?

You're excused, it happens all the time, DS2 has tons of well thought out details like this so invaders don't get fucked over if a host decised to AFK at the bonfire.

Nothing BS in DS2, you can iframe roll every attack in the game at SL1.

no because everyone will say the hardest one was the first one they played. once you have experience with something it becomes vastly easier.

compare your first run of DaS to doing it again on a new character (assuming you ever did that). not comparable.

This meme again?
I plated DeS first and DS2 is overall the hardest because rolls cost tons of stamina and estus healing isn't instant.

Not him, but you can also get grabbed by a cyclops 10 feet from you that's just smashed through a door you had no way of knowing it was hiding behind.

You don't get grabbed, you just get hit.
He has a unique animation for pushing and breaking the wall.
And you can see his face through the railing.

Retarded. And DaS III is significantly more linear than DaS II

I was referring to their retarded hit boxes on their grab and no, you cannot see his face.

Your maps are shit

>37:30

There is no railing if I recall. It's just a door

THIS

I was about to be autistic and do this very thing, but you saved me the trouble.

Do Bloodborne now

That's the second one that smashes the door.
The first is visible through a grate above the door.


The "retarded hitboxes" that make you roll too early because you don't understand how iframes work on DS2?

DS3 would be almost as good as DS1 and DS2 if they had the entrance to the Catacombs in the Undead Settlement, near where Velka's statue is.

>you don't understand how iframes work on DS2
Fucking this. I didn't even mess with ADP my first run through the game, because I didn't approach the game with the mindset that my roll was supposed to be better, I just learned what my roll could actually do.

I'll work on it

I also forgot the DLC areas for 2

youtube.com/watch?v=U6UjWdeOz5w

see 13:56

Yes, that's a perfect example of rolling too early because Matt doesn't understand how iframes work in DS2.

>Dark Souls: Metroidvania

I stopped reading there. You don't know what a metroidvania is.

>OH GOD I LITERALLY CANNOT HAVE AN OPINION OF MY OWN WITHOUT SOME LIMEY YOUTUBER SAYING IT FIRST SOMEONE SEND HELP

>It's a "DS2 has bad hitboxes meme" episode

It's used to show the point being made, idiot.

That's exactly what the other guy was talking about, he rolled too early.

i feel like your an idiot

It's used to show that you don't have any points of your own and only borrow them from E-celebs.

Lol are you retards for real? The cyclops didn't even connect to him, the fact there's an invisible "grab area" that teleports you into a grab is complete garbage.
Did you even watch the example in the video? Do you honestly believe this shows decent hitboxes?

I can't believe it's been 3 years since DS2 released and some people still don't realize DS2 has iframes at the beginning of the roll instead in the middle like in DS1.

>The cyclops didn't even connect to him

But that's wrong.

>that's not valid criticism because it was in a video criticism the game! >:(
Idiot.

>It's a "DS2 has bad hitboxes meme" episode
>People blatantly ignore DS1 and DS3 bullshit hitboxes

You blind or something? I think you should re-watch the video m80.

I'm not even commenting on the criticism, I'm just shaming you for being a parrot.

Clearly clips the edge of the hitbox.

Not only that, they forget rolls can be shorter depending on your equip load, and agility determines the number of iframes in each roll. Some people need 105 agility to dodge basic enemies because they're fucking idiots.

He is hit, continues his roll a little bit more and is teleported to the grab attack animation. Are you blind?

Right, because using a video about criticism of dark souls to show an example relating criticism being brought up means I can't have the opinion myself.
Idiot.

The cyclops doesn't touch him in the slightest the entire time until he's teleported into the hitbox.
Please show a screenshot of exactly when he was clipped.

foot clipped

No, but as a matter of fact you do not have any of your own opinions and only parrot those of others. This should bring you great personal embarrassment.

Lol he's clearly not being touched there, can you depth perception?
