the ds2 dlc is really good, except for the co-op areas, which all suck more than anything in the base game

it was one of things i didn't have spoiled for me. i discovered it by interpreting soapstone messages. that first vista, with the music blaring in the background, it's so loving awesome.

I loved the progression in Duke's, how you got trapped and had to get out of that poo poo was a goddamn tough journey the first time. the design and look of the Painted World was also very tight and the snow a refreshing change. but for me, then finding the completely optional Ash Lake is just jaw-droppingly epic

I never understood why the knee jerk opinion to have is post lord vessel areas being bad when what people actually mean is an optional third of lost izaleth & meanwhile painted world, dukes, ash lake are some of the best levels in the entire game & catacombs is pretty cool 2.

I think the pre lord vessel areas of ds1 are much better than the post lord vessel areas but to say that the post areas are bad is pretty dumb, theyre still really great but I do feel like the early parts are just really well done. I also think blightown is one of the best areas in a souls game minus the framerate drops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I had a pos tlordvessel character at firelink & decided to finally run down to Ash lake. Environment & music is amazing, definitely had the strongest running around in unfinished area feels of he whole game. Surely this area was intended for something more important. I also remembered that great hollow is why I never came here, I hate platforming with the crazy camera!!

I have beaten this game 25+ times and I never knew there was a giant motherfucking dragon down here

I've messed around with the some of the kings field games and while they are fascinating to see that the basic framework of the souls design has existed for 20 years, I found them extremely difficult to actually play because the controls aren't great and they move slow as molasses. Idk if Shadow Tower is any better in that respect

It is by far the worst of them when it comes to movement but people rave about how great the dungeon crawl was so I wanted to see. I really wish they would just patch in analog controls to the ps3 version it would make it thousands of times better

yeah, it's subtitled the ancient city, and is on ps2. i had a hard time getting the rom to work when i tried it. i think it's pretty cheap as a used disc if you have anything that can play it, though.
