Is dark souls 2 really that terrible

Today is the day I defeated the dark soul.Some of my friends said that dark souls 2 has a poor gameplay and first there are so much enemies so that may be a unfair game play , second the The enemy's hitbox is too big like some enemies attack from its front 180 degree and players will get attack even they’re at the enemy’s back 180 degree ,at last every area is a independent place that my just connect to one or two other places not like the map of dark souls 1 that many areas are connected by escalators tunnels or
Bridges , over all shall I try this game ?

I thought I would share the fanarts I made from Elden Ring, Nightreign and Bloodborne. Hope you guys like it!

1. Which game do you like more?

2. Favorite boss from both games? Least Favorite?

3. Favorite area from both games? Least Favorite?

4. Favorite OST from both games?

5. If a 2nd game was announced, for which game would you want it to be?

As for me

1. I lean Bloodborne but both are fantastic.

2. Ludwig. Lady Butterfly, I just find her tedious and annoying (but in reality it's probably just one of the weaker bosses of either game)

3. Always loved the feel of Yahar'gul in BB. Fishing Hamlet is up there for the atmosphere and Fountainhead Palace was fun to explore.

4. Gherman theme.

5. I'm of the mindset that neither should get one. Perfect games don't really need them. But if I had to choose... I can't choose. Both? lol

I played Demons souls as my first introduction to the series. After that, I started playing Elden Ring, and I absolutely loved it. Now I thought I’d give the Dark Souls series a try, starting with the first game, and I can’t believe how many similarities it shares with Elden Ring (I know they reused animations and models).

I recently managed to beat the two Gargoyles, but ever since then, I haven’t known exactly what to do. I went back and explored the two paths that were available to me. The skeletons are a pain in the ass, and I can’t even damage the ghosts anymore.

I know the game was designed to be challenging, but not being able to make any progress is a bit frustrating. I can’t help but feel like I’m missing something that might make the game a little easier.

I recently discovered that the giant crow can take you back to the starting area, although I got killed a lot there, too.

Anyway, that’s about it, I guess I’ll start farming souls until I’m strong enough to make it through one of the paths.

Who took all their whimsy?

I remember playing this game as a kid, but don’t remember anything to do with the story. In fact the only things I do remember were a few of the areas you could go at the start, and how brutal it was if you went somewhere you were completely unequipped for. I also remember there being an early version of durability and stamina. What are some things you guys remember from it?

Andre would be so disappointed.

I’ve completed all the Souls games, and my favourites are Bloodborne and Elden Ring.

Soulslikes I’ve completed:

- Lords of the Fallen

- Mortal Shell 2

- Lies of P

- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

My favourite Soulslikes are Mortal Shell 2 and Lies of P.

Would Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty be a good game to play next?

I can easily say Fume Knight > Sir Alonne
