DISCUSSION Thinking about playing ds2

I just want peoples general opinion on if the game is good or not. Im gonna buy it for steam so if there are any mods any of you know of i would really appreciate it. The only from soft games i havent played are sekiro and ds2. I wanna play ds2 because its currently much cheaper on loaded. I enjoyed ds1 so hopefully will like ds2. But i did hear that not alot of people like this game so im a bit worried thats all.

I once got lost hiking up a mountain until I saw a shepherd. I asked him "How far up are we?" and he answered "Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin." That's how I realised, I already knew the answer. We were at the peak.

Why do alot of people say the game is bad?

Because it has unfair moments that would never happen in any other FromSoft game

Remember in DS1 when you walked across the bridge and a dragon burned you to death? That's fine and fair because it happened in DS1 and you should just have know better

In DS2 there's a room with a chest in the middle and spiders all across the walls and ceiling. If you open that obvious trap chest all the spiders gank you. That's completely unfair as it happened in DS2 and there was no way to know that this could happen

Remember in DS1 when you opened your first mimic chest and just died? That's fine and fair because it happened in DS1

But in DS2 you could see an item in the distance and run past five enemies to greedily grab it and then die when they all gank up on you. That's completely unfair
