DS2 was my favorite because when the PVP was active it was fun and arguably was the most varied, partly because it was before everyone knew what Meta was.
Lightning buffed chaos blade and warped sword were always good. Those two plus ice rapier have always been my most encountered weapons, so no meta was still a thing.
I have more hours in dark souls 2 than any other souls game. It was my comfy game. I met a girl who also had voice chanel active. She was fucking nuts and we dont talk anymore, but we beat the game together. And I will remember that time fondly.
Dodge roll isn’t garbage and adp is absolutely dogshit. You need 99 adp just to get a big enough change to matter. It’s main use isn’t even for rolling, it’s to increase animation speeds for estus use. Edit: the people below me have no idea what they’re talking about. 1.) adp gives you almost no s. At 99 adp you receive only 0.5333 seconds extra I frames. That’s half a second with 99. Maxed out stat. Unless you want to grind for hours early just to have 0.5 seconds extra in s then don’t waste any time whatsoever on that pathetic bonus. If you’re late game then you clearly don’t need the adp if you made it that far. 2.) adp’s main purpose is to increase animation speeds for estus, lifegems and Devine blessings. It’s I frame bonuses are pathetically small for this reason. 3.) ds2’s roll has always been the same as Ds3’s roll. Ds3’s I frames trigger near the end of the roll, so rolling early works better than rolling late. In ds2, i frames trigger at the beginning. Meaning you need to delay your roll. Most people in the souks community always roll early, nearly everyone I see online rolls early in ds2. That’s why they think the rolling is bad in ds2 but not 3. No, 2 just requires actually timing your roll. Which most people are not used to. 4.) adp reaches its soft cap at 39, so what the fuck are you talking about 20 adp for.
@@zzodysseuszzno? And after reaching 20 it doesn't increase agl alot so that 99 is an exaggeration And wdym not meant for rolls it increases ur I frames and by alot like reaching about 30 gives us as much i frames as ds3 do
Br0leg is really the most based content creator i ever seen in my life always make top content and care about our old beloved based games ! he even read and interact with his viewers such a lovely guy and hopefully a father in the future we love you all
So glad people finally appreciate this game. Seeing a lot more positive DS2 reviews and it's long overdue. I've been getting disparaged for yeeeears by friends because I don't like playing ADHD simulator ( 3 ) or playing " Giant Dad Beatdown " (1) - because in 2 I can have multiple builds that are actually viable. I can bully a really bad mage with a miracle self buff build and make myself hit for 1K a light swing with all the right buffs. It's great. It's the game for when you don't wanna have to watch 300 things at once.
Ah Dark Souls 2 the most underrated best pain simulator in game history. Nice thumbnail it accurately describes how I am playing this game but finally the Dark Souls 2 video from Broleg is here! Honestly idk why but I enjoy this game than most souls games it just hits differently and technically it isn't my first souls game but its my first in actually completing and doing pretty much everything and the dlc but thank you for making this video, it's a joy see my favourite based youtuber make a Dark Souls 2 video.
Of all the hubs in souls games, i like Mejula the most. The music fits so well, creates a really peaceful atmosphere, makes you just wanna sit next to the cliff and stare into the distance.
i can't believe you didn't touch the soundtrack, there's some serious bangers inside fr, Raime's theme makes me rise more than my fucking rage levels figthing him
Personally my favorite is Dark Souls 1 despite its issues. I love the interconnected world design and how being able to fast travel is earned. This really makes that first playthrough so special and it’s had a lasting impact on what I want in a SoulsBorne game.
DS2 is my favorite of the series because of the depth the game has, it struck a balance between tedium and intriguing exploration that hasn't really been done in any of the others. Also powerstancing, that just rules.
Good video. Just a quick note. Absolutely do not play deprived unless you want a challenge run. They're the worst class for all builds because of how the game uses collected souls to determine who to match you with for multiplayer (you'll be 8ish levels lower in early game, and 4ish levels lower in the mid game), and any build you go for you'll have wasted points in stat distribution. If you don't know what character build you want and plan to respec after trying out things, pick explorer instead. They have only 1 point wasted for sorc or clerics compared to starting as that class. Fine stat distribution for Hex builds. Depraved, on the other hand, wastes 2 points for either cleric or sorc, it's underleveled for match making since it starts at Clevel 1 and the game only cares about collected souls. It's objectively bad and the hardest to start with, intentionally designed to be bad for the extra challenge.
If I may, I would like to disagree, sure its the hardest start but the payoff is more than worth it, its the best class for min maxing points as you have 6 in all stats from the start if i remember right, 1 quick run to Heide to cheese Dragon Rider to "take a swim" and you can fix your stats for any decent early game weapon. Its also quite optimal for all base game boss speedrun. (or i am just too masochistic lol)
@@Askaria-Askarnurn Explorer is better for that. Give it a look. Explorer can shift to any build and at most be 1 stat behind a build where you pick a specific class for the build (specifically Cleric or Sorcerer). As mentioned above, it's not even optimal if you ignore multiplayer. I guess it works for Mundane, since you want an even stat spread for that, but literally all starting classes work for Mundane and can get there easier since they start out with more stats.
I never understood the complaint that Scholar ramped up the difficulty by placing lots of enemies everywhere, as it nerfed a lot of ganks and runbacks. Vanilla had way more guaranteed ganks. Vanilla already had more ganks in Forest of Fallen Giants and continued to do so throughout the whole game. In Scholar you also have way more ways to deal with ganks, like spiders being afraid of the torch, the invisible enemies in the fog reacting to sound, the duel mechanic in Dragon Shrine or more explosive barrels. Vanilla also had a lot more enemies camping directly at fog gates so a lot of runbacks are way less ganky in Scholar. Runbacks like Flexile Sentry, Ruin Sentinels, Freya, Ancient Dragon, Velstadt, etc are much easier in Scholar. Dragon Shrine turned from one of the most frustrating areas in Vanilla to one of the most beloved in Scholar.
Dark Souls 2 is my favorite of all the Souls games due to the world, lore, aesthetics, Emerald Herald, and the fact all Sorceries are viable to some degree unlike all the others games where only a few are viable. But, i do think the one bad thing in Dark Souls 2 that ruins it just slightly is the forced Giant Lord grind in order to survive the DLC, not beat, not conquer, not overcome, but survive and yet despite that i'd still give it a 10/10.
Я тоже являюсь поклонником второй части и играл в неё больше всего. Причина моего выбора может показаться неуважительной, но, говоря утрированно (я подчёркиваю - утрированно), мне больше нравится мотивация героя и меня, как игрока. Во второй части, мы играем за человека, который стал нежитью и отправился в земли Дранглика, чтобы попытаться это вылечить. И, в конце, становится правителем местных земель. Хоть лекарство он и не нашёл, но хотя бы весело проведёт остаток существования. В первой и третьей частях мы играем за беднягу, на которого показали пальцем, назвали избранным и отправили решать чужое дерьмо. В результате ты ебашишь, как ломовая лошадь, чтобы в конце просто сдохнуть (по канону). Ну и в целом, мне не нравится глобализм и возвышенность 1 и 3 части Душ. Приземлённость и локальность происшествий и конфликтов мне просто более по вкусу. Выглядит более...по бытовому, что ли, более интимно. Хочется разобраться в местных делах и изучить. Но это уже субъективно для каждого.
Абсолютно согласен, сюжет второй части очень сильно превосходит над и первой и третьей. И даже одна из основных причин почему мне вторая часть нравится больше остальных, хоть они мне все равно тоже нравятся )
Also is the only souls game that has sweetspots in weapons. Like if you hit someone with a polearm while they right up against you, you deal less damage, but if the blade hits them, you do more damage.
For me, 2 is probably my least favorite, but it's definitely not a bad game. I'd give it 8/10. It introduced quite a few mechanics that carried over to 3, it has an absolute crap load of weapons/armor, huge build variety, cool lore, etc. It also has the least memorable bosses in any of the Soulsborne games, some of the most insane enemy aggro ranges and density, and a troll stat in ADP. That one stat changes the game from borderline unplayable to enjoyable.
Based ds2 enjoyer I personally love ds2 more than 3 or 1 because ds2 have the most fashion and build potentials out of all 3 games with the variety of spells and weapons, and not to mention powerstancing
I’m well aware, but vast majority of players don’t even think about it, even though AGL and poise are incredible meaningful in DS2, most of the times new players can beat the game twice without even considering it
@@Br0leg You can beat it without putting any points into AGL, but once you start putting some is when you realize why you were dying to a lot of the "bullshit, I rolled!" moments. AGL not being explained almost at all is why so many new players ended up turtling behind a shield instead of trying to roll attacks, since every time they tried they got hit due to the abysmal base i-frames.

Would have love to see more details about Dark Souls 2 in specific, especially compared to the other Dark Souls, instead of surface-level explanation. We need to really show why Best Souls 2 gets it's name from.
Played first the third game, but when I played DS2 over the years the only game that stays installed all the time is DS2. Bell covenant and Rat king covenant are too much fun. Specially when i discovered that: 1. Bell keeper covenant gives you upgrade materials every time you kill people and you can get slabs 2. I could instant reset the rat King covenant and force into my woorld the same poor souls so they could enjoy my traps and backstab spots with no time in between invasions.
I don't have a favorite souls game. I like them all :). Demon souls: a little dated, but still fun to go back on Dark souls: scared the living shit out of me as a kid Dark souls 2: my actual introduction to the souls series so i have a bit of nostalgia for the game. Dark souls 3: crushed my balls Seikrio: crushed my balls Blood born: *Gave me PTSD* Elden ring: renlighten my love for the souls games :) Bonus Armored core series: "LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOO" *GUNS BLAZING*
I don't mind Dark Souls 2 as is; PVP was pretty fun to be a part of (I prefer it over DaS 1 and 3's, especially running a lightning faith build using a maxed out thorned greatsword which in turn had lightning special attacks. When compared to the other titles it's seen as the weakest, which isn't surprising since it was developed by From's B-team and Miyazaki (the series creator) had little involvement as he was working on Bloodborne at the time. For what it is, Dark Souls 2 is fun for what it is, though I personally detest the soul memory that was included, even though there's a ring that prevents earning souls, it was more of a band aid patch to prevent griefing newer players. That was eventually solved in 3 and included in Elden Ring as well. Edit: Mild mannered Pate is voice by Peter Serafinowicz, who also portrayed Darth Maul from Phantom Menace (specifically the voice) and is a big Dark Souls fan.
You're the best, man. Love the content, it's always so consistent. I like DS2 alot myself, but only in my second playthrough. I tried to get rid of all the preconceived notions and bad parts and to focus on my experience, and it was really good. Not the best, but still good, when you aren't constantly complaining. Really happy I did the second playthrough.
Ds2 is my first souls game, at first i was confused where to go and what to do until I watched fightingcowboy's walkthrough. I got better at playing the game, it's challenging and imo it teaches you self control and most of all after all the chaos and fighting going back to Majula is so refreshing, so peaceful.
the only game in the series that dared to do something different, many things are even still borrowed from ds2 and are present in the games that came after it, too bad the game was in development hell and it came out half assed, still my favorite pvp souls game by far
I realized now that i was torturing myself dark souls 2, which it fucking longest souls games that im playing, the only thing that good on ds2 that when playing it for longer will make you feel like your playing elden torture ring. Also cant believe that he talked about dark souls 2 during my first real walkthrough in that self-torture game
yesterday, after 37 hours, i finished dark souls 1, i'll buy the other souls games whenever they're on sale and maybe do a ng+ run while waiting for the sales
I played only Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin (it's actually just vanilla + DLC). All I have is an xbox 360 so that's all I can play. But so far Dark Souls 2 is my favourite. Only thing I miss is how connected DS1 is.
Anyways my favorite dark souls game is a little weird you’ve probably never heard of it, it’s Skylanders Spyro’s adventure that kaos boss fight was insanely hard for younger me
Hermanopierna talking about the best ds ever made!? You are truly the bearer of the curse 💋 Also the dlc are very nice and other thing i loved the most was how the game looks. Besitos 🥰
My favorite Souls game has got to be Dark Souls 1. I would grave lord the painted world, use the disguise spell, and sit in an obscure part of the map disguised as a tree/bush among trees and bushes. My goal? To have someone fail to find me, leave, and be stuck with their world permanently gravelorded. I succeeded a couple of times.

You're the best, man. Love the content, it's always so consistent. I like DS2 alot myself, but only in my second playthrough. I tried to get rid of all the preconceived notions and bad parts and to focus on my experience, and it was really good. Not the best, but still good, when you aren't constantly complaining. Really happy I did the second playthrough.
My man just did MC Ride in character creation
Ds2 is my first souls game, at first i was confused where to go and what to do until I watched fightingcowboy's walkthrough. I got better at playing the game, it's challenging and imo it teaches you self control and most of all after all the chaos and fighting going back to Majula is so refreshing, so peaceful.
the only game in the series that dared to do something different, many things are even still borrowed from ds2 and are present in the games that came after it, too bad the game was in development hell and it came out half assed, still my favorite pvp souls game by far
Not mentioning the ascetics seems like an oversight.
Actually, Dark souls II (2) is really King's Field V (5). Few know this!
Can you do elf breeding farm next?
I always loved the chocolate twinkie with vanilla filling
My favorite Dark Souls game would be Syphon Filter, and I think you should play it too. It's a very good and polished game, I swear!
That fucking ending oh my god this is peek souls content
The only thing I don't like about ds2 is that some npc invaders has a chance to destroy your gear.
Good review
Fair argument. Unfortunately, you have been invaded by dark spirit forlorn
Has wonderful Multiplayer, played dd2 for the first time like last year.
and I honestly enjoyed it for what it was
Finally my fav niche micro-celebrity likes something I like!!!
God dammit... watching this video while waiting out my crewlock in WT.
Dark souls 2 is the first souls game i play so its my favorite
my fav souls game is dark souls 2 because it was the only game i was able to buy on steam when i was a child
As someone who has been playing through this game recently I must say it is a pretty neat pain inflicted 10/10 would die another five hundred times
I played through this one recently.... as sorcerer
My alcoholic step father has prepared me for this.
4:21 bro explain that pls
just started playing ds2 as my first from software game ever and i actually love it
I realized now that i was torturing myself dark souls 2, which it fucking longest souls games that im playing, the only thing that good on ds2 that when playing it for longer will make you feel like your playing elden torture ring.
Also cant believe that he talked about dark souls 2 during my first real walkthrough in that self-torture game
yesterday, after 37 hours, i finished dark souls 1, i'll buy the other souls games whenever they're on sale and maybe do a ng+ run while waiting for the sales
is a good day when Br0leg uploads a vid
Finally I found a fellow souls keyboard and mouse enjoyer.
Oh my god I’ve actually seen most of this streams that form this video that’s a first
Dark Souls 3 Review when?
also awsome vid might play ds2 now :)
I’m having an aneurism holy editing
I feel like if I hadn’t started with DS2, I would’ve gotten into Souls-like’s way earlier.
Br0leg you really made Coach in the character creation?
A Cruelty Squad review would be legendary.
I played only Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin (it's actually just vanilla + DLC). All I have is an xbox 360 so that's all I can play. But so far Dark Souls 2 is my favourite. Only thing I miss is how connected DS1 is.
finaly something positive about ds2 thank you br0leg
Anyways my favorite dark souls game is a little weird you’ve probably never heard of it, it’s Skylanders Spyro’s adventure that kaos boss fight was insanely hard for younger me
Dark Souls 2 was the best. Best pvp. Best magic system. Best levels. It wasn't perfect, but it was ambitious and that was excellent.
Literally the best video fr fr no cap 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶
YT put this into the algorithm
Hermanopierna talking about the best ds ever made!?
You are truly the bearer of the curse 💋
Also the dlc are very nice and other thing i loved the most was how the game looks.
Besitos 🥰
My favorite Souls game has got to be Dark Souls 1. I would grave lord the painted world, use the disguise spell, and sit in an obscure part of the map disguised as a tree/bush among trees and bushes.
My goal? To have someone fail to find me, leave, and be stuck with their world permanently gravelorded.
I succeeded a couple of times.
This is a masterpiece man i need MOREEE!!
And its even dark souls 2 better xd
Dark Souls 2 was the first one of the series i played and i liked so that i then played 1 and 3
Dont forget about installing lighting mod for ds2 which is safe to use it online. Its totally game changer
