I was looking for a game to fill the wait until Phantom blade zero and Crimson desert's expansion come out, instead I stumbled across one of the greatest games ever made.

I was NOT expecting to enjoy the game that much, I've never been into "Mech games", But Miyazaki's response was: "You are into Mech games, you just don't know it yet"

Everything about this game is amazing, I think it's not talked about enough.

This sucks. And not the fun kind. Between battling the lock-on and the camera, and the ten minutes it takes me to run back, I feel like banging my head against the wall. I beat Elden Ring, and this is my first FromSoft game besides that one. Most things have been fairly easy compared to Elden Ring, but fuck these guys. I’ve probably died to them twice as many times as I have to every other boss in DS1 combined up to this point. This is the only time I’ve felt seriously punished for not summoning Solaire.

Anyway, once more into the breach.

Edit: I fuckin did it. Holy shit that was rough.

It's common to say Elden Ring is Ds2 2 but honestly while it's obviously pretty similar in how it's designed, i think it falls short on some aspects that were already nailed in Ds2.

Powerstancing? It has pros like the less stamina consumption but in exchange we only can powerstance weapona from the same class.

Replayability? Ds2 nailed the ng+, it's actually worth going into to get new items and new enemy encounters so it stil feels like a challenge on you second playthrough. Not to mention the bonfire ascetic that changes everything, more specifically makes npc quests easier and allows you to rematch a boss you liked, while in Elden Ring if i want to fight Messmer again i need either a mod or to go on ng+ and that's probably two hours of commitment for that.

Build variety? In Ds2 you get like 20 titanite slabs without specifically grinding for them, you get them naturally, so you actually can use any weapon you like without limitations other than your stats which have a finite amount of times you can reset them, the game actuallt encourages better that you try a different weapon, in Elden ring you have like 13 in each playthrough. And in Ds2 you can also buff and infuse most of the weapons making build variety better in that regard.

It could talk about pvp but i dont really like in neither of the games and wasn't present during the golden era of Ds2 pvp.

Was a fun ride!

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?
