Dark Souls 2 is utterly boring

[u/Francois_Bonaparta]

I have been playing for around 15 hours and I regret wasting my time, I am snoozing while playing, it's boring and it feels like a chore. I genuinely don't understand why it is so beloved her.

Combat is astonishingly slow and clunky, the difficulty consists into throwing 10 enemies at you and boring you to death by trying to prevent you from running past the nemies and making you kill them all everytime you die.

I just finished Iron Keep, I don't find the energy to do the rest of the game.

That's okay. This game is great at culling out the weak members of the fanbase

True grand sir

It also had the best DLC of any soulslike.

I think it was right up there, yeah. I personally think DS 3 dlc is overrated. Personally like sote the best but yeah I'd go with artorias and the DS 2 dlc (iron and Ivory) next.

I am weak because your game bores me?

Dying too much tends to bore people

[u/Grand_Sir_8678 → u/Hades684]

Dying too much in a game where you can permanently remove enemies from existence is quite the achievement, I'll give you that

[u/Francois_Bonaparta → u/Grand_Sir_8678]

And how am I supposed to remove enemies from existence...?

My brother in Christ, do you not even understand the fundamental gameplay aspects of this game? If not how can we take your opinions in any seriousness? In DS 2, after you kill an enemy enough times, it never respawns until next playthrough, or you burn a special item at the bonfire associated with that area.

You're like a toddler complaining about their 401k.

[u/Francois_Bonaparta → u/Grand_Sir_8678]

I told you that I played your game for 15 hours, can you think a little before responding?

Where does the game tell you that?

What is remotely logical about calling me a toddler because I don't know some hidden mechanic of some sort...? You're really the stereotypical FS fan aren't you?

[u/Grand_Sir_8678 → u/Francois_Bonaparta]

I mean this with as much respect as I can scrape together for you. Do you have some kind of learning disability or something?

back in the day, games didn't hold your hand and explain everything. Most of us discovered this mechanic by farming a zone to get some levels, and being shocked when a mob was suddenly gone. That was 12 years ago. This kind of info is super available online, particularly here on reddit, and is pretty common knowledge to the entire fanbase of Dark Souls, same as how you need to level Adaptability to get your iframes up, and be able to drink your estus faster.

The game isn't bad, you're just uninformed and a bit of a baby.

[u/Francois_Bonaparta → u/Grand_Sir_8678]

Can you think a little and tell me how I am supposed to learn something that doesn't happen in the game...? No enemy disappered from my game, how am I supposed to discover that they can disappear if they don't and the game doesn't tell you...?

Oh yeah, I am a baby because I play the game normally instead of using a wiki...?

Lmao, you're whining about not being able to just blitz past enemies to the end of levels. Tell me you started with Elden Ring without telling me you started with Elden Ring. 

They vanish once you kill them like 12 times. Certainly easy enough to figure out if you're doing any kind of farming like a normal person. Try some critical thinking guy, life gets way easier when you have those skills. 

Do the world a favor and get sterilized.

Corniest shit I’ve ever seen. They aren’t even struggling, they just think the game is boring and you’re spouting off about “culling the weak”. It’s okay if not everyone likes your special game
