I've only died once or twice to every boss so far outside of nameless who kicked my rear end quite a bit so far. Prince seem doable but I only tried once

i was annoyed by how easy the early &mid-game bosses were, but now i just keep my weapons less upgraded and stay lower level and it evens out

It's a shame they reverted to souls health bar sizes after Bloodborne was pretty perfectly tuned

NG+ and ++ barely increases their health, if at all. on +2 i skipped right to dancer and melted her in under a minute, it kind of blows. but otherwise the game is pretty perfect

the From way is that the biggest gap is ng to ng+ and it means only the 2nd half is noticeably harder

Dark souls 2 taught me to use a strike weapon because 90% of the enemies and bosses are guys wearing armor so they're weak to strike and it turned to be true in ds3 as well :/

i got platinum on both versions of dark souls 2 in addition to every other souls game and it was a fine and enjoyable experience from start to finish and the types of people who say its bad because it doesnt stack up to literal masterpieces are the same people who insist mario 64 sucks because it doesnt look pretty anymore

Mario 64 kicks rear end and 75% of dark souls II really sucks

I think the most damning thing about dark souls II is that you can get a +9 weapon in like 3 hours without even optimizing routes or anything g

It looks like they stole all of the animations and shaders and world design in Dark souls 2 from Bethesda circa Oblivion.

The worst part of demons souls is no pre boss bonfires, so you have to run through the whole level to get to the boss. But you can cheese nearly every boss with a bow as a tradeoff.

The run at the top of castle Lothric is some boletaria palace level of knights and fuckers

i luv the big climb up the castle and the periodic vistas. great example of big videogame tower

yea, tho i still recommend fighting them properly. theres usually a quick-ish way to get to the boss, the only really annoying one i can think of is the last boss of boletaria.

cmon haha... heheh. its my fav ds3 boss anyway . i just think it couldve been a little more forceful about how youre expected to fight it, like maybe u could have it so the clone is invincible while it spawns or something.

That's the best way to end the series for sure. Haven't seen the actual end cinematic or anything but thematically that fight is perfect, and fun
