The DkS2 DLCs have better level design than a vast majority of the Miyazaki games.

Old Iron king was excellent,the other 2 were pretty bad imo.
Sunken king was the worst,i hated that Aztec-like structures full of boring and empty rooms, the dragon bossfight was great though.
I really love the part when you descent into the old chaos and fight the ivory king in the last dlc,the rest was awful in every way and snow/winter areas are my favorite levels.

 

[HK-47]

I hope Mask of the Father makes its glorious return for Dark Souls 3.

I hope Velka returns. She is my favorite little bit of lore and is connected to the best level in DS1.

 

[Xiraiya]

This Miyazaki stuff IS getting crazy.

I mean yes, I am relieved Miyazaki is directing, not because I think DS2 is bad (It's a pretty great game), I just think it suffered from a lack of cohesive direction and it shows in many aspects of the game.
And since that was the only souls game he wasn't really hands on with, I just think it's for the best he be in charge since so far no one else has shown to be capable of getting these games "just right" except for him.

That's all.

 

[ZangBa]

Also, Bonewheel Skeletons need to be buffed back to their glory days and placed everywhereeeeeeee.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Every game has had at least 1 crap level.

DeS 3-2,5-2
DaS1 Lost Izalith, Crystal Caves
DaS2 Tseldora
BB Nightmare Frontier

All games have had the garbage level.

The only crap in Bloodborne are the Chalice Dungeons. Nightmare Frontier was awesome.

 

[MoxManiac]

I liked Brightstone Cove Tseldora. To me, the DS2 shit area is Black Gulch.

NG+ Red phantom bonewheels to be exact.

Black phantom bonewheels and black phantom skeleton beasts

Welcome to die.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Black phantom bonewheels and black phantom skeleton beasts

Welcome to die.

All of them in laberyntic narrow corridors

 

[CountAntonius]

I want PvP everywhere, I want Red Soapstones back, I want no Souls Memory, I want Arenas, I want Respeccing to remain.

Please give me.

Black phantom bonewheels and black phantom skeleton beasts

Welcome to die.

I'm just imagining a boss version in a tight corridor, even tighter than the Executioner Chariot arena.

And then at 50% another one shows up behind you.

 

[Xiraiya]

My only desire is online being tied strictly to Soul Level and not Soul Memory.

 

[Gbraga]

So, gameplay demo tomorrow, right? Can't wait <3

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

I do want a good matchmaking system in place this time though that takes weapons and loadout into consideration too though. Fend off the twinks in certain areas at least. DS1 was egregious for that.

Yeah twinking was definitely an issue but Soul memory was just so limiting to everyone that i hope they can come up with something better.

 

[Nimby]

Was there supposed to be Bandai Namco press conference today?

 

[Zaventem]

Interconnected world is back? i'm so happy.

Tower of Latria 2 was bad? WDF.

Souls gameplay is the kind of thing that if you're fighting a twink who isn't as good as you, you can still win just fine with inferior gear, I rather deal with powerful invaders than get screwed out of online activities because I happened to collect too many souls in the first area or something.

I'll take twinking over Soul Memory any day.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Tower of Latria 2 was bad? WDF.

I actually missed that line. 3-2 and 5-2 are amazing. smh

Anyway, a mod said to stop talking about that crap, and I for one am please to obey.

 

[Hollycat]

wrong thread

 

[ZangBa]

Twinking is a non-issue honestly. Soul memory punished the majority for a minor annoyance. Whatever system they come up to deal with it shouldn't effect normal players.

 

[biocat]

I like how this thread became another "which DS game is the worst" thread. Thanks, guys.

Can't wait for Dark Souls 3.

No way in hell is the Nightmare Frontier bad. Challenging, but not bad.

 

[x3r0123]

sweet cant wait for more souls games

 

[Zaventem]

Doesn't apply to
DS2 since leveling in that game gives to much positives for being a high level where demon's, dark and bloodborne the softcap does not give an overpowering boost.

Soul Memory is pretty naff, hence why I said a good matchmaking system, haha! I'm sure From could come up with something better for the third game in that respect, and not settle for one or the other.

I'd love to see a controlled form of matchmaking in PvE areas, but for PvP areas I'd love it if the gloves were off in terms of who you'd get matched up against. If there's one thing I really liked about DS2 was the way it included areas solely dedicated to duking it out in the base game. They fully embraced the first DS's DLC arenas and expanded on it. Just a shame people slowly stacked in during long and intense 1v1 fights in those areas. One 1v1 PvP area and a multi-player PvP area would be perfect.

 

[RexNovis]

CG only?!? Yep my danger danger alarm is going nuts. Thought this was being revealed way too early and the fact that it is releasing so soon makes me really anxious. This might be the first From game I don't buy Day 1 for a LONG time.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Missed out on Dark II, but after BB I'mma be ready for more Souls when this rolls around easily. Really liking the vibe of this one so far.

They always reveal with a CG trailer. I think we are getting gameplay tomorrow anyway, cool your jets

What am I reading here?

Anyway, I don't know what to think of the trailer TBH. It's promising but not as intriguing as last year's Bloodborne trailer.
I'm on board anyway. FromSoft reclaimed my Soul.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

On another forum I actually had some idiot get all worried that you won't get to make your own character and choose your gender and that you'll play "the dude from the trailer".

He was serious, too. -_-

Talk about over dramatic, Christ dude.

Relax, gameplay is tomorrow.

Apparently gameplay will be shown tomorrow.

 

[Parsnip]

I'm so ready.

 

[ZangBa]

I wonder if they will change up dual wielding again. Maybe a sword art skill that let's you do some cool shit.

 

[MUnited83]

The only crap in Bloodborne are the Chalice Dungeons. Nightmare Frontier was awesome.

Nah, Chalice Dungeons are good.

 

[Lulubop]

My man said his danger alarm. Smh

 

[deletethis123]

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Danger RexNovis, danger! No RexNovis, danger!

Well there's gameplay due to be shown off soon I think, so won't take long to find out what state it's in currently!

 

[deletethis123]

Nah, Chalice Dungeons are good.

Why are they good in your eyes? Part of what makes souls games so good for me is the exploration and chalice dungeons were tiresome and boring to explore.

 

[texhnolyze]

Oh my, this year's E3 has been a blast so far, and even it's barely started.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Nah, Chalice Dungeons are good.

More like decent; I don think there were any bad levels in Bloodborne.

Hopefully that continues with Dark Souls 3.

I too agree they were tiresome but i wouldn't say all were boring. I would have preferred an end game perfectly made level featuring those bosses though.

 

[Hypron]

On another forum I actually had some idiot get all worried that you won't get to make your own character and choose your gender and that you'll play "the dude from the trailer".

Some people on this very forum feared the same thing about DS2. They never learn.

 

[Lux R7]

[CLEEK]

Those hunched up hooded figures with the shells on their back and the walking sticks kind of remind of Merchant Hag Melentia from DS2 in terms of design.

Nah, it more like the Dark Souls Crystal.

May have been a case where developers listened to a vocal minority.
