It's the "worst" game in the series (still a great game, imo), but you have to admit that it has the coziest environments in the entire series.
Majula, Heide's Tower of Flame, Dragon Aerie, Aldia's Keep, Shrine of Amana, Huntsman's Copse and Brightstone Cove Tseldora, all places I would love to live in and build myself a small cottage.
ok, Mr. Gay Opinion.
yeah after replaying all of the games multiple times i have to agree
dark souls 1 feels like a meat grinder in every area
dark souls 2 is forgiving by most standards and has updated graphics despite the downgrade meme
dark souls 3 is forgiving since weve been there done that but it just looks depressing since it tries to look like bloodborne. The fantasy element is totally gone, you're back in vampire land.
dark souls 2 wins. comfiest fantasyscape.
I'm willing to accept your opinion on the basis that the "coziness" of DS2 is part of the problem with the game's atmosphere.
BEST PVP
IT'S A LAGGY PIECE OF SHIT AND I LOVE IT
DS2 has a dreamy atmosphere (kind of like a fever dream) that is equally as valid artistically as the other Souls games' atmospheres. The disjointedness of the areas adds to it. I actually like that Harvest Valley -> Iron Keep makes no sense geographically. It's mysterious, just in a different kind of way than the other games. It's fucking great, fight me.
Theres so much about this game i loved, i hate fact that i cant enjoy it
Meme aside, DS2 is the one i enjoyed most from the series. Also, Dlc areas are probably the hardest areas from any souls game.
I really like the Majula music
>"Dark Souls 2 was my first souls game"
Fuck off shit taste PC cucks. You'll never get the best souls game so you go full denial mode and convince yourself intern souls is actually good. It's fucking trash though sorry bros
You don't know me nigger
>Shit taste pc cucks
No one actually gives a fuck about demon souls faggot. It's easily the worst game in the series.
Bloodborne. Get fucked PC cuck. Enjoy your knockoff souls made by interns out of contractual obligation, lol
Fuck off. I own all the Soulsborne games and I love them all. Stop being a pleb.
For all the short-comings of Dark Souls 2, I still regard Majula as the best nexus of any game in the souls series.
>that sunset
>that music
>THOSE WAVES
I literally sleep to that shit.
Dark souls 2>Demon Souls>Dark souls 3>Dark souls 1>Bloodborne
In that subjective order. I will never understand the hate for dark souls 2.
No, it doesn't.
This.
this game as just as many problems as it does upsides. its crazy.
Ive said this to my firends b4 and ill say it now. this game feels like whatever idea they had they threw in the game.
armor that does shit
>kickass
soul memory
>dear god why
t. PC third worlder
t. soyboy who can't form his own opinions
Shit maps, but has a few cool bosses fights, like sir alonneand ivory king. Overall worst DS game though.

>Too many people putting pressure on you to go and sort their shit out for them

>Nice views
>Actual houses to stay in
>Just don’t go into the cellar
>Ladder bro
Majula is indeed perfect.
I completed all the soulsborne except Demon's Soul, and you're full of shit. Dark Souls 2 was clearly lackluster and suffered from many issues, but I still finished it and it was not a bad game.
>bearer-seek-seek-lest
I liked DS2 more, than DS3.
BEARER-SEEK-SEEK-LEST is still my favorite hub girl, and her dialogue comforts me
I always liked how she goes from condescending and aloof to completely believing in you over the course of the game.
>Those who come to Drangleic seeking salvation soon lose hope, and turn Hollow.
>It happens to them all, sooner or later...
>That blue knight at the base of the tower… His spirit is already broken.
>Although he does offer sound advice.
>Perhaps he is a foreshadowing of your own future?
Then mid-game she starts subtly warming up to the possibility that you can succeed:
>The soul and the curse are one and the same.
>Your soul has grown stronger still.
>I only hope it brings you what you wish.
By the end she sees you as her savior:
>Bearer of the curse.
>Long have I awaited one such as you, one who might shatter the shackles of fate.
>One who can set me free.
>Bearer of the curse. I will always be at your side...
...
Imagine what she would be like if they didn't completely gut her story
From what I can tell BotC was probably going to travel back in time and see her as a child, when Aldia and Vendrick were using her in an attempt to link the flame eternally. I'm guessing whatever Aldia did to link her to the flame was also what turned him into a pseudo-chaos creature.
>ywn get to protect small Shanalotte
Why live
shoot me, it got best atmosphere among the series
I loved locations most of all games, soul babies just butthurt it's not like DS1 exactly
they have a ADD about souls to be EXACTLY like dark souls 1 or it's bad
I’d disagree about best since it never felt quite right to me, but it’s asmosphere at least beats das3’s soullessness by a mile. Des I’d say nails the doomed world feeling the best, but it’s highly subjective.
Heide's is one of my favorite places in a videogame.
tbqh majula would be a lot better if it had a day/night cycle
You're wrong to say the least, I really do not understand you.
I honestly can't think of a single thing I liked about Dark Souls 2. It failed in every respect.
What makes it worse is that it COULD have been amazing, but it was fucked over so hard in development. It probably would have turned out to be the best Souls game.
Why doesn't the Emerald Herald get as much fan art as the other girls?
Enemy design sucks
Enemy layout sucks
The game is shit ugly
Player control sucks
Combat is ruined
Story is edgy tryhard nonsense
It doesn't do anything right. I don't blame the devs, they were forced to start from scratch half way through. But don't look at a deformed child and say "he's only half formed but he's better than anyone else!" He's not, his skull si caved in, he speaks in wails and grunts and he has no motor control and has to be wheeled around everywhere. He's retarded, malformed.
Because she is a stupid cunt, I love ds2 but I hate the emerald slut. If I didn't need her to level up I would stab the shit out of her FUCK
Doll > Firekeeper > Maiden > Herald
>emeherald will never "ease" your "burden"
No, Demon's Souls is the worst.
People hate DS2 because it actually takes skill to dodge things at low ADP instead of having easymode 10+ iframes by default.
BB > DS3 = DS > DeS
Though it's not exactly fair since every game builds upon the last.
Delet this
It's not as opressive if that's what you're taking about
But the graphics were so watered down compared to 1. Everything seemed muddy and like it was made out of clay
Dark Souls 2 is only hard in the areas where they cram 20 enemies into a room to compensate for the shitty enemy designs. And those points are obnoxious and annoying more than anything else.
That's correct, except for DS3 that just copy pasted mechanics from BB and DS2 and had zero new ideas.
DS3 wasn't all too original, but the areas were well designed, all the bosses were fun and the overall package was very, very polished. It's like Dark Souls with a spit shine.
The Old Hunters > Ringed City > Artorias of The Abyss > Ashes of Ariandel
I disagree.
Nothing in the game felt """cozy""". I also don't find sunsets appealing. I prefer the Nexus.
Well 1 is the best souls title so far, so its kinda reasonable that people hold is as a standard when the later games fuck up by changing mechanics to be worse than before.
Many people do just want "more dark souls 1", and its understandable that they get pissed when too much changes.
I liked the Dream the most, myself. It's got that combo of comfy as well as eerily quiet and dream-like.
Limited combat movement and limited iframes without stat dumps weren't the best additions when the game keeps throwing packs of mobs at you.
I would agree if I had some bros to keep me company there. Felt lonely with just the doll.
>Huntsman's Copse
>comfy
But if we don't throw 20 enemies into a tiny corridor how will the game be hard?
Prepare to die! R-remember?
I thought the loneliness worked in its favour. Made you realise just how weak the Hunter's Workshop had become.
3 is the worst game
Kek whoever took this shot tried their hardest to fix the terrible job they did with that moon texture.
DS2 is legitimately better than DS3
I still don't get why they never fixed that moon. Or why it was even so bad to begin with. Every other moon in the game looks great.
Lol yea really sticks out.
The jagged jpg is one thing, but also the moon is in front of the mist in the distance. It just looks incorrect.
>coziest environments
Well it did until hunters dream came along
The Hunter's dream is fucking creepy and unnerving. No place in BB feels safe, that's the bloody point.
DS2 is a great game if you can get it for 10-20$ but beyond that it's kinda meh.
Not sure if bait. I'm pretty sure only extremely few people who played Bloodborne and DS2 would prefer DS2 but while I think that DS2 is the worst Souls game and Bloodborne is either the best or second best in the franchise, liking DS2 doesn't mean you have horrible taste.
It's a janky game that oversold itself with unwarranted hype and lies about the graphics, the features and everything and there's a mountain of garbage that detracts from the actually good content but even DS2 isn't all bad and there are some moments in DS2 that make it worth playing.
That said, I feel robbed for playing the dogshit vanilla on release and then being jewed out by Scholar that was supposed to fix things but mostly just reshuffled content like a ROM hack and just overall didn't address the core issues people like me had with Dark Souls 2.
Dark Souls 3 is the worst in the series.
I just started playing BB and the floor entirely covered in blood puddles within Hunter’s dream is giving me the creeps
DS1 was my first, DS2 was my most played.
I guess I like it because DS2 is way more like DS1 than DS3 is.
>story is edgy tryhard nonsense
This is your only point I can't get behind. DS2's story wasn't any worse than the other Souls games' with the exception of Bloodborne which had it's story together pretty well.
>Brightstone Cove Tseldora
Kek, have fun with the spiders. And it was anything but cozy. It was fuck-ugly with giant repeating textures everywhere and with completely nonexistent lighting so everything looked really DULL for the lack of a better word.
Only like ds2 for the comfy
>it has the coziest environments in the entire series
nope, even that was done better in DeS and DaS
Sometimes I can't decide if I would have liked it better with actual NPCs or not, Gehrman and the Doll almost feel fitting to be the only ones there, but I wouldn't have minded an actual shop vendor for blood echoes and insight.
Well, it was comfy before everyone online started seppukuing in front of the doll
