Souls combat should be more like DMC, where you pummel helpless sandbag enemies

>What I can say objectively is that Dark Souls 2 is a bad game, it sinks below par. It has several incompetent pieces of design throughout many of the most fundamental parts of the game and a hefty amount of them are in its most celebrated features. The game is far from finished, it's far from refined, it's broken in several areas, is far from a completed work, and that is after they got a second release of the game, which they considered to be the completed work, which is more than the terrible DS1 port got. The fact is by any reasonable and objective evaluation this game falls short, because if it doesn't, then hardly any games do. Because you have to really think to yourself: if you are going to argue why DS2 is actually an amazing game, then make sure your argument doesn't involve feelings, because I don't have time for them

he never said that
never brought up dmc in that souls video
never said anything about character action mechanics
he only said souls combat is "nothing remarkable" and nothing more
shit thread

For being so popular, so very little people understood Souls combat and its design

I like these fake matthewmatosis quote threads! My favourite bit is when people don't realise the quote is heavily edited to say something unreasonable that was never implied by the original, and they get really worked up about it!

Ironically he said souls combat shouldn't be like dmc.

he specifically says that he's not saying you should be to juggle hollows yet we have this gay thread every day that gets 400 REPLIES because you retards are above listening to "ecelebs" but somehow aren't above talking about them.

>where you pummel helpless sandbag enemies.
i hate that so fucking much
no matter how flashy and cool your comobs are when the enemies are sandbags your game is fucking boring
why cant they just make godhand 2

He's right, you know.

MM isn't an eceleb he's an Irish economist who likes to review games. Read up or square the fuck up kid, and get some taste

Based Longman

DMC1 had the best punchingbag enemies because lots of them had inbuilt means of escaping or suddenly countering your attacks, which kept you on your toes. The fodder enemies of all the later games just don't compare to the marrionettes.

Why do you fags keep making these threads when the faggot doesn't even release videos anymore.

not vidya

That's bullshit

Owen is a better Irishman.

I like how Mauler doesn't mince his words. He just outright says that the game is bad and for people to fuck off with their feelings and subjectivity. The fact that reddit, twitter and even Any Forums continuously seethe about him just proves how right he is.

people get off rewriting history, Any Forums is one of the best places to do this anonymously
it's precisely because he stopped making videos that makes him a prime target
see: sewerslvt threads non-stop on Any Forums
if someone's life is boring then they can get some satisfaction feeling like they altered the course of history even in a tiny little way

popularity is the only worthwile metric to judge a game's quality. i've been completely redpilled on this, video game "critics" are absolute jokes and don't understand what makes games worth playing, on a fundamental level.

>what are Fetishes
>every fucking mari
He played on easy lol

Objectively DS2 is better though

And he hates your guts for comparing him to other Irishmen.

Yeah he drowns his videos in too much evidence yet the actual argument is expressed in a blunt and direct way with no fense sitting or hald measure

Never understood why people are trying to compare DMC and Souls. Just two different combat systems- aggressive and passive. Both require dedication and skill to be good at.

He was right. He got some things wrong which he later admitted. People just like screaming "It is long I won't watch" etc.
I will never understand the defending HBomberGuy gets. I don't like the dude, but he has made """okay""" videos. His DS2 video is pure crap tho, so I am confused why people like it so much. Is it because said people also like DS2 so they defend anyone who also likes DS2?
Is it really idpol thing?

Hey I remember these guys!

no it isn't though

in a really strange turn of events, liking dark souls 2 has become an almost political issue. hbomb is left wing and just happened to like dark souls 2, while most of the dark souls fanbase are right wing. therefore defending hbomb against the "chuds" is something that lefties do at this point, without even necessarily having an opinion on the games themselves.

>economist
that's news to me and I thought I knew him pretty well. wasn't he a programmer? where are you getting economist from?

DS2 has some things over DS1, but as a whole package, it's inferior.

Leftists ALWAYS had shit taste though
Dark Souls 2 is literally Resetera's favourite Souls game

>dark souls fans still pretending dark souls isnt mainstream as fuck

Do objectivefags not realize that "bad" is inherently a subjective quality, and no amount of evidence or argument can make something "objectively bad" or "objectively good"?

HAHAHAHA

Now go try the same thing with the Taurus Demons right before that area. You can bring them to you individually from a fucking mile away

please explain to me how trashy enemies like prides or scarecrows are better.

That's just your emotional interpretative feelings. Objectively 1 is vastly inferior.

no resetera likes cringeborne (even though it's an inferior ds3, it's sony exclusive)

>"bad" is inherently a subjective quality
no it isn't, it can be either objective or subjective depending on the context

dark souls literally only became popular because of Any Forums and most of the souls fanbase is gamergater type "true gamer" bros. it's right wing.

>thinking Any Forums can make a franchise popular on its own
how delusional can you be

See how 2 heavily nerfed circle strafing backstab cheese through smarter ai and more challenging enemy placement? 2 is a big step up over 1. Objectively speaking. Now you can prefer 1 for emotional reasons. I don't want to take that away from you, maybe you were 12 i don't know, but if you're going to try and bring facts bring facts cause I don't have time for your feelings.

matt accurately predicting elden ring 5 years ago really completely mindbroke fromtrannies, it's amazing

every single person who claims enemies in DMC are helpless sandbags hasn't played them. there is even a mechanic on DMD that makes them harder to interrupt and juggle, and there are always enemies that you can't reliably stagger or juggle.

it's absolutely the case. nobody gave a fuck about demon's souls except Any Forums, and dark souls was only well known on release because of the cult following demon's souls had garnered.
