And people are ok with this? Part of the souls experience is co-op and invasions.I assume you mean PC. Yup, they're all down, possibly permanently, on PC.

I wouldn't think so, but I don't play on PC.And people are ok with this? Part of the souls experience is co-op and invasions.
Don't bother, it's not a very good game. Prioritize any other game in the series (on console so you can still play online)
It's a fkn bummer. I wanted to replay the vanilla ds2 on steam since on ps, the only ds2 is sotfs. I know ds2 was not very active but I still would've liked to replay it withAnd people are ok with this? Part of the souls experience is co-op and invasions.
I shit on it because of its busted movement, shitty animations, and unnecessary changes to the core gameplay.absolutely. People just shit on it because it's not dark souls 1 part 2.
That's some weak trolling, you can do better than thatYou cant finish the game offline? Are you dumb? What a stupid thing to complain and no it's not a crucial component of the game and if you needed help with bosses well git gud.

The changes are for the better. ds1 is annoying af if you get back to it now. I find it aging badly (still amazing game).I shit on it because of its busted movement, shitty animations, and unnecessary changes to the core gameplay.

Dark Souls 2 is probably the best Dark Souls game. Dark Souls 1's second half is the weakest out of all Soulsborne. Dark Souls 3 is good, but it lacks its own identity. Every area seems like a remix of other Soulsborne games.I shit on it because of its busted movement, shitty animations, and unnecessary changes to the core gameplay.
Agree. Dark Souls 3 did elevated in my eyes after I finally played Ringed City. It's a fantastic game... just as you said - it's "the best of" dark souls but that is fine. It is exactly what people wanted from the sequel after ds1 and the reason why people disliked ds2.Dark Souls 2 is probably the best Dark Souls game.

I would still put Elden Ring, Bloodborne and Demon's Souls over Dark Souls 2, but DS2 is an excellent game.
And apparently the online component is removed, and there is no ETA when it is up again. What kind of bullshit is this? I read it was because of a securiry issue, but it was discovered 6 months ago. You are telling me that they couldnt patch this issue in a halfyears timeframe?
I feel robbed.

See, you can do better if you just try. Keep it up and you’ll be winding people up left right and centre.Imagine not enjoying a game because you cant have coop/invasions. YOu can finish the game from start to finish, same experience, offline. The game does not become worse because it lacks the feature.
Personally, I’ve been back to DS1 many times, including after 2 and after 3. It plays just fine for me, but I’ve tried 2 a few times since and I can never like it. 1 knows what it wants to be, but 2 made changes to try and subvert what 1 did like ridiculous levels of tracking or trying a core mechanic to a stat. Its identity is anti-1.The changes are for the better. ds1 is annoying af if you get back to it now. I find it aging badly (still amazing game).
The movement is realyl weird in ds2 because it snaps to cardinal directions and it's not fully analog... I mean it is but it's weird.
Animations are fine. Even unique backstab and riposte animations for different weapons types.
It got the best UI in the series and it's the ONLY soulsbornekiroring game that does not follow the same math for leveling in order to have you level more and allow for more customization.
But ok ok. I can see why people don't like this game. It grew on me over time
I agree about 1 and 3. 3 tries too hard to be not only 1’s sequel, but also can’t get its mind off Bloodborne. Enemies all speed up, but we have the same old roll. 3 is a fun but ultimately confused game.Dark Souls 2 is probably the best Dark Souls game.

I just pretend it as an extra weight-like stat and forget it exists once I raised it enough, way too overblown imo.I'm probably one of the few people on this planet who actually liked the adaptability stat. I feel like it added to the RPG aspect of the game, if that makes any sense. It made me more cautious about creating my build instead of just mindlessly pouring all my souls into health and strength.

DS2 has a lot that I’m disappointed didn’t return, so they really threw the baby out with the bath water there. But the best thing 3 did was return the core things I mentioned (animations, movement, etc) back to normal.

I would love to play a version of 2 where it’s all of the content, warts and all, but thrown into any other game’s movement and core gameplay. There’s lots of good, but it’s wasted for me because they ruined the basics and made the game feel odd to play.
