Dark Souls 2: SotFS. I actually kinda like Dark Souls 2, but I think I'm upset the most at how it could've been potentially much better without making radical changes. When they announced the remaster (scholar of the first sin), I was excited that they'd go back and fix it. Hot take? They just made it worse.
They made enemy placements a lot worse and more spammy than ever. They hid the DLC keys in annoying areas. They changed a lot of item placements for no reason other than make the game feel fresh, and some of the new placements made little sense. They also didn't remove adaptability or go for any low-hanging fruit fixes.
It was just a bummer. DS2 could've been a lot better.
I’d agree with this.
I feel like overall DS2 just has so many areas that while it has some amazing things (Fume knight one of the best bosses in any souls game IMO) it just has so much forgettable stuff too.
That and the fact that so many areas (and even bosses) are only made hard because they throw multiples at you, it makes it worse than the others in the series.
However…. I probably played more multiplayer in ds2 than in all others combined. Don’t know if it was due to balance, the overall slower mechanics of combat or whatever, but I enjoyed it.
