Dark Souls 2 get a ton of hate (not all is undeserved) while Dark Souls 1 gets all the love…. But when we actually take a second to examine these games, which are some of the first in the Soulsborne dynasty, we see that perhaps things have been skewed by popular opinion. In this video I make the case for why I now believe that Dark Souls 2 is a better game than the original Dark Souls father. I hope you enjoy! #darksouls2 #darksouls #soulsborne #fromsoftware #soulsbornecommunity

Bloodborne > Elden Ring > DS2 > DS1 >DS3. There I said it
It has been spoken🫡
Also hahahah u had the kings ring for the door required to progress but started to realize its opening and stopped for no spoilers🤣🤣🤣🤣 4:12
after Elden ring im going back to DS finished DS3 really liked it. on DS1 now was planning on just skipping DS2 maybe not?
NO!
can't understand for the love of god how people enjoy dark souls 2 tbh, literally the whole game is kill 15 though af enemies that cannopt be skipped with 5 flasks to get to the boss, with 0 flasks and try to beat it then repeat, i really tried liking the game but everytime im stuck in a level where i have to kill like 15 enemies that each take 8 hits to reach a boss arena, like bro 15 enemies in other games were managable with how fast u can hit and how much stamina you got but i caan barely run for 5 seconds before my stamina runs out, so i have to take the sweet time to try and kill those enemeis with as little flasks as possible because what's the point if i reach the boss arena with 0 heals, it's so tedius and unfun
Yes! Preach the truth!
Dark souls 2 was also rushed out aswell, imagine if it was given a little more time to flesh it out. The pvp in ds2 was absolute peak. Chivalry from every player which was encouraged in the game. Now a days in souls like you get attacked on sight
DS2 has some really cool mechanics which I wish made it to DS3 but it’s just not better than any other dark souls game. It’s the worse one. It’s a OK game but not a good dark souls game.
And guess what it's also better than Ds3
it isnt
None can beat BLOODBORNE!
Nah
Wow
I got platinum trophy on DS2 back in 2016 and Im doing a 100% run on Xbox atm, just 6 achievements left! I approached the game differently this time: Have 99 life gems on me, max my estus so it 12 +5, save the estus for bosses and use life gems when clearing areas.
To me, the bosses are pretty easy in this game. So worrying about runbacks is silly, just take your time clearing enemies, save the estus for the boss, and beat it. I dont even think Blue Smelter Demons run back is bad?? I wont excuse the frigid outskirts though.
Overall DS2 was my first in the series i played it after bloodborne and its very unique and fun. Dont understand the hate
I love DS2 but I cannot say it is better than DS1, in parts maybe yeah, but overall, they both have drawbacks and high points, though should add that DS2 feels like more polished Souls game for sure.
Well at least your sorry
