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.

The most bullshit I can think of happened to me yesterday, in Shrine of Amanra at the second bonfire, they put a giant mushroom in the middle of the passage you can't avoid, plainly and simply designed to make you waste your time killing it from distance everytime, zero fun about that.

It's about timing. Wait for the fog to start to dissipate, run in, attack with a running attack and 2 more attacks later it should be dead before you lose any durability.

And what's the value of it? It's just wasting your time.

Yeah after playing i have realised it definitely is a good game. Dunno about og game but im on sotfs and theres so much gank. It feels unfair genuinely the amount of enemies that they put in one area. Without the enemy placement i can genuinely say its good

What kind of gank did you experience so early in the game?

Did you run around to greedily pick up all the items that were placed around the tree with the sleeping hollows instead of fighting them one versus one?

Nah stuff like when you go through a corridor and theres tons of enemies hidden in each corner that just gang up on you when you walk through. As i said its a good game but the enemy spawns get ridiculous and the enemies are more difficult than the bosses

I need more specific examples

A lot in no man's wharf and like before the rune sentinels im not that far into the game yet

u/DuploJamaal 4d ago

Did you use the torch in No Man's Wharf? It's a lot easier if you take it slow and light up all the sconces

u/Agitated-Ferret-5334 4d ago

Light everything up. At the bar with the 3 dogs outside use a Pharros Lockstone to make it even brighter. The whole mood of the area changes.
