Does everyone agree that Dark Souls 2 is slower, ie requires slower reflexes?

[MythTrip]

These games are great, but DS3 requires razor edge reflexes. Is Dark Souls 2 slower, more tactical? A lot of attacks in DS3 come out of nowhere, you have to be quick as a cat to play.

dark souls 2 is molasses

Dark souls 3 adopted the fast pace action style of bloodborne.
dark souls 2 combat is closer to 1.

[Donaldo Trumpado]

Depends. The bosses and enemies are way more varied in ds3 than ds2 so they require a bit of switching things up.

they are all equal

but the lack of poise and the super heavy armors makes users lighter and gives them a push to use lighter weaponry

this is all your seeing..

an illusion

you always get the biggest down syndrome kids calling DS2 names but at its core it will be missed greatly by real souls fans.. the PVP was great with its endless PVP options (gear/items)

DS3 kinda limits the options.. pushes you to try select weapons or be punished for it..

you could start a heavy armor/weapon fight club if u want slow battles ?

just report him GMK

the mods will clear the trolls

The big irony is Darksouls 2 had more enemies who could stunlock you, while DS3 you can't get stunlocked even with Poise turned off for players if you are able to roll at all.

The speed of a game's pace is just one factor of the combat picture.

Calling DS2 more "tactical" is a bit of a joke though.

This is boring,
Everyone link their dankest meme!

One might even say Dark Souls 3 was dumbed down to the max,
When you look back on 2 and all the build option, armour, weapons, sorcery, hex, pyro, poise,
The fact that you couldnt roll 8 times with 15 endurance to avoid all mobs.
We had sin for invading and killing hosts, which inturn would allow blues to use blue orbs to invade us cause we were ♥♥♥♥♥.
Rat covenant, you enter that area, dont like pvp?, too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. Same goes for bell bro's.

Dark Souls 3 has gone the way of a generic hack and slash with Souls lore.

It almost feels like Dark Souls 2 was Dragon Age: Origins and Dark Souls 3 is Dragon Age 2.
If you played both of those games you will know exactly what im talking about.

This one is a little faster paced, enemies have long windups on attacks, but the attacks themselves are much faster it seems. They can combo you in this game easier. Now in two the enemies were all kind of sluggish/normal speed and easy to parry. I think the parry window is the smallest in this game, so that could be why everything feels faster. Either way, I like all the games. Two was great mechanics wise, but lacked the lore and atmosphere, and this one is also great, but a little dumbed down mechanic wise(no duel wield, which I loved no armor upgrades less armor options etc), but that lore is so juicy.

I still like ds3 but it needs fixing... i like the pve part, world design, the ds 1 rehashes. Combat is debatable but would be more fun if tweaked hard. More often than not R1 spam is more effective than anything else and that i just don´t understand. Maybe $ > legacy
