Not my favorite souls game by far, however ds2 manages to draw me back in with it's flawed but beautiful features. After getting all achievements🏆 for ds1-ds3 + Elden Ring I'd say I actually would rather play ds2 more often than ds1 because I find it more re-playable. Does it have issues, absolutely. And this is not a jab at ds1 because I still love to re-play it once in a while. I by no means am saying it's perfect. The development sounded like a nightmare, soul memory kills interacting with friends in a lot of cases, adaptability being essential, gank squads of enemies, lose health after dying until humanity, Fragrant branches of yore suck, some covenants need too many offerings that isn't realistic to get anymore without cheating, etc. It can be so frustrating at times, but it's still mostly a skill issue at the end of the day. And those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Alonne knights 👿 If you just started the game from playing Elden Ring then God help your soul because this will infuriate you with the mechanics and the way it doesn't hold your hand nearly as much. But after beating the game it gets better. You realize this game is meant to be re-played and with your knowledge you can crush early game and make a fun build that ds1 and 3 don't have like hexes. (IK ds3 has dark sorcery... It is not the same and you don't get it until Karla at Irithyll Dungeon don't @ me w⚓) I love ds2 for it's flawed but beautiful world design like Majula, Ivory Tower, Dragon Aerie, even Heide's Tower of Flame. The enemies (while janky at times) have a lot of awesome designs and is where we got a lot of great armor and weapons from. The pvp in the souls series really kicked off in ds2 and couldn't be where it was at in ds3 without some of the accomplishments and short comings of ds2. The new and returning gestures are fun. If you need help with ds2 reach out and I can either message what to do or if the soul memory will allow it I can jolly co-op TLDR ds2 lightly jogged so ds3 could sprint circles around the game industry and led to Elden Ring
Le meilleur Dark souls évidemment.
better than mid souls 3
治疗仓鼠症最好的游戏,爱来自魂游最友善的npc马雷达
The start of the journey may have sucked and I also got stuck in the lost bastille for hours fighting the clown car sized bridge full of enemies, but this is truly THE GREATEST dark souls game. This looney tunes ass game has a special place in my heart. If this is your first time playing DS2, dont listen to the haters and try it out for yourself first! Even if the game doesn't click with you the first time, try it again later!!! thumbs up good game
very good
很难评价这游戏是否好玩,应该说他有极度狗屎的一面,也有十分美好的一面。吃起来就像是粪坑蝶泳,但游了一段又找到了黄金。
