As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.
Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.
And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.
I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.
Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.
Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.
You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.
The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.
The Friend's Pass feature is now available for Lords of the Fallen, allowing players to co-op with another, even if they don't own the game.

perfect example of when Mods are power hungry and think they are gods.
good on the devs.
Reddit is a cesspool of retardation, the world would be better off if the site died, its full of basement dwelling soy drinkers that think they have power.
You could say the same about Twitter lol
In its defence, Reddit is a great source of answers when you need googling an issue
@senorfartcushion they were not even able to participate in the sub of their own game, they were banned by the mods
Good. If the mods are going to be petty and strip the devs of admin powers then take the mods power away by removing the need for their subreddit entirely.
Stripping the devs permissions over this is incredibly petty, over such a tiny thing as well.
I agree!
stone cold voice what! ds2 got better review by sites and by gamers
As much as people want to defend Dark Souls 2, it does feel like an arcade version of Souls games. It's a bad mix of Demon Souls and Dark Souls, throwing out proper level design that Dark Souls did. Not to mention it has cheaper moments than previous games.
Lords of the Fallen is not a shining example either. I don't think the story was that entertaining, nor the slow feel to the game.
is not sorry journalist fanboys!
Well, it'd decided then, just based on this one opinion, may we never discuss this topic again
"As it is written, so shall it be done"
I've not actually played Lords Of The Fallen yet, and as Dark Souls 2 is easily the lesser game in the Souls series I don't personally think DS2 is hard to trump
