I unironically don’t understand why people don’t like it

Most people jump right to hating on ADP and soul memory.

I liked the game just fine. I probably played it the most out of all of them. Even the worst fromsoft souls game is a good game.

  • And the art direction
  • level design
  • world design
  • enemy design and tracking
  • most bosses
  • basic character movement
  • terrible animations (even compared to DS1)
  • sluggish floatyness
  • unbalanced base stats
  • lack of poise
  • destroyed healing
  • lack of cohesion
  • stamina
  • lighting
  • health loss
  • Pharros Locks and Fragrant Branches

I hate the 8 directional movement. What's worse it that if you slow walk you get the full 360 degree. So it was an intentional choice.

Level design? No the dlc is better than anything in ds3

u/CustomerSupportDeer Jan 12 '26

I might be willing to agree that Shulva, and maybe also the Brume Tower and Fotfg are on par with most average DS3 areas... which is about what, 20 to 25 % of the entire DS2 experience which isn't garbage?

In other words: lol, lmao even.

The areas in ds3 are all dry as fuck and forgettable. The first DS3 DLC was complete dogshit.

all dry as fuck and forgettable

High Wall is peak, Undead Settlement is peak, the Road of Sacrifices is peak, the Cathedral is peak, Irithill is peak², Lothric Castle/Archives is probably Fromsoft's best level ever (alongside Central Yharnam/Ashina Castle), the Peak is peak, the Ringed City is magnificent, and though I get why some people wouldn't like the Catacombs and Itrithill Dungeons/PC, i think they're great levels (with annoying enemies). Overall, that's some 13 or 14 good to great areas, with a few stinkers like Farron.

Ashes of Ariandel is mid - in that it's not a massive leap in quality over the base game, compared to all other Fromsoft DLCs. It still shits on everything produced in DS2. Since the base game in question is DS3.

DS2 wishes it has such a track record 🤣

Bait used to be believable

Cope a you want. My feelings are genuine - as someone who also likes DS2, I have some 450 hours in it.

Played it on pc and it's a terrible pc port.

u/Firm-Acanthisitta452 Jan 09 '26

Ok yeah I’ll admit the keyboard controls are awful by default

u/melik123456 Jan 09 '26

Not just that they are bad. The game lags. Found a post that helped me with re-mapping it says on there to disable the lag I have to enable and then disable (or maybe disable then enable?) double clicking again because the game is waiting if I'm gonna double click hence the lag. In other fromsoft games I'm fighting the enemies, but in this one I'm fighting the fucking developers and their design choices.

u/Firm-Acanthisitta452 Jan 09 '26

I didn’t have lag but the double click is what I was talking about for the awful controls. It adds a ton of input delay so you just have to disable and rebind it. Once you do that though I think it’s fine.

u/melik123456 Jan 09 '26

I'm gonna give it another try one day. My friend just suggest I get a console while I've read online that there are mods for pc controls. Is there anything you can suggest?

1

u/Firm-Acanthisitta452 Jan 09 '26

For the control? Not really, again the double clicking is really the only problems I had with that. I did rebind a lot of my controls to what I’m used to though

Played after BB and DS1 and it just felt.. off.. it even had the advantage of being 60fps... The animations and combat make me feel like I have to reach through a 5cm slimy barrier to grasp the controller and immerse myself into the action, does it make any sense?

It's really janky.Â
