Favorite game in the series. When I spend time thinking about it, I think DS1 is “better” designed and probably more memorable narratively, but I simply had the most fun playing DS2. It’s the game I go back to the most in the series, I just love it.
The combat is slow enough that positioning and patience make enough of a difference rather than simply rolling through everything. I really enjoy a lot of the mechanics exclusive to DS2, such as life gems, despawning enemies, bonfire ascetics, fun differences in NG+, etc. I get why people bounce off of it, but people also bounce off of whatever their fist souls game is initially as well. I think with a little patience it becomes a great experience.
I really feel like next time i tackle it things will click more. It did last time. I beat the giant and was at the underground town, i forget the name, before i quit again. The first try i could barely get out of the woods
What kind of build were you using? Heavy weapons are a ton of fun in 2, especially pancaking enemies with the greatsword. There's the power stance system for dual wielding too.
