I'm feeling the itch to play a demon/dark souls/bloodborne game but i've beaten them all twice other than DS3 and I want something new

Bloodborne is the best followed by DS2 and then demon souls imo

DS2 is the better game even if the level design is nowhere near as good

It felt too linear and too many of the bosses were really easy

It really isnt. Mechanics and inventory may be but the world sucks, story sucks and warping around trivialised it all.

The best one was the first one and by that I mean Demon's. The other games are good but they're tribute games to the first.

DS3 is pretty drat linear until you beat Vordt or the Dancer


DS2 had smaller maps but just compare the branches of both

i think they should limit the porting but seriously running loving ages just to get to a vendor before you get the kiln is bad gameplay

DS2 had powerstancing which was cool. its like they had a team who fixed all the gameplay problems but didn't have a top level designer involved

That's the perfect place to get warping actually, but you probably die a lot so I can understand your frustrations.

none of the dark souls had the atmosphere of demon souls or bloodborne and suffer for it

I've only played ds2 and it's kinda Meh. Huge learning curve but then you catch on and you never really die so the gimmick is gone

Ds2 had comparable but different flaws to ds1. Soul memory being a thing alone is a huge minus. Battle felt way more sludgy and while a big part of the souls games was always forcing you to be very careful about attacks it got cartoonish in 2.

DS2 seemed to want to foucs more on combat and goofy things like the butterfly outfit and preorder bonuses rather than remembering this is a series

even if you don't care about the LORE it provides reason for what you are doing rather than a bunch of old hags tell you you will die bitch lmao

i don't pvp in souls games os i never understood why people cared about soul memory. you have to be a massive gently caress up for it to matter and should probably not be playing the game anyway

If Dark Souls 2 assumes "Scholar of First Sin" edition then it was easily the best of the three, especially where online play is concerned.
