Dark Souls 2 is bad. It like a high budget fan game.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Op desperately needs to aquire some minor loving SKILLZ.

Also ok here goes. The giant chick and the sun are both illusions. By winning the game you don't save the world it just limps along for a few more cycles. Solaire dies. Gwyn dies. drat this game is no fun to spoil. But I can say one surprising thing at least. This game is ridiculously bright, cheerful, and happy. Don't believe me? Play dark souls 3 and report back.

I beat ds3 with kB+m and OP is right, the game is poo poo other than cutscenes and how the game looks. Otherwise you just exploit bad AI and run past everything all the time so you can roll around and sword spam some bosses. Let's play Myst instead

But DUDE the lore! The LORE! There's no story and you don't know what to do but like, everything you pick up has some stupid loving diary stapled to it telling you what some dude was doing when he died or some poo poo so you just make the story up yourself ITS SO GOOD

Wait you mean I have to... r-read? I'm sorry but I only consider poo poo a story when it's spelled out for me in a cartoonish, easy to understand voice for, you see, I am retarded.

also in bloodborne you never really know what the hell is going on but if you have a general knowledge of Lovecraft you can pretty much fill in the blanks

when I went to play DS3 the 'beginner's guide to the lore' i found online was like 80 pages of incomprehensible nerd poo poo which i didn't read so when playing DS3 i had absolutely no idea what was happening or why i was supposed to be killing everything except for some vague ideas about dragons

The big boobed lady is really a guy, the carpa demon is easy if you throw stuff at it, the only npc worth caring about is onion man, lastly the best weapon is dual wielding bonewheel shields.

If you follow these steps you will win.

Um the opening cutscene shows you the five bad guys to kill, then the level up lady tells you to go kill them. It's a pretty simple story, the world building stuff is just optional background info.

games like dark souls are only for sperges that like to memorize button combos and hours long boss battles that need to be repeated if you make one mistake.

button combos like push R1 to attack, then when that attack completes you push R1 a second time to attack again

even playing it on a controller every action you take leaves you vulnerable for like a full second your dodge has no i-frames and if you die all the enemies respawn
