Don't forget about the awful Chalice Dungeons.
And the shitty blood vial system, long load times, and having to warp between different areas just to respawn enemies.
Seriously, Bloodborne was pretty fucking lame. I don't understand how people hate on DSII and call BB a masterpiece. Both have flaws, but the issues in BB are far more critical.
**** no, basic combat is unbearable at times in Dark Souls 2. The game skates by on its core mechanics and the "well the build variety", but everything else blows so much cock. Fucking turning the dodge into its own stat? **** you From Software.
I always play as a heavy armor dude in the souls games, so I never experienced the broken dodging in DSII. I mainly just block and manage stamina while waiting for an opening.
The issues in Bloodborne totally waste my time. They had a perfectly fine health system for years, so it's even more insulting that they managed to totally **** it up. It goes completely against the flow and core design of these games. Forcing people to grind if they're struggling on a boss is just fucking terrible. I wasted hours of my life farming bloodvials just to have a chance of progressing. Never had to waste my time like that in DSII, **** Bloodborne.
It also doesn't help that I find the environments drab, the NPCs boring, and feeling of accomplishment to be completely lacking. I mean, if we really want to be honest here. DSII and BB are hardly great games compared to the original Dark Souls. Both are shitty sequels, but at least DSII isn't a slog to get through.
