In Defense of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin

Video Description

Hello there! This is a video that is meant to show what I believe is the best defence you can muster for Dark Souls 2 and after that, I present the final arguments for the game being highly flawed in order to have the balance that is needed for a defence. The video that is arguably being responded to in this video is called "In Defense of Dark Souls" from Hbomberguy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRTfcMeqhig Article in relation to the B-Team - https://web.archive.org/web/20151103201841/http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=807289 if you guys enjoyed my work, please consider supporting me on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4817956 0:00:00 - In Defence of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin 0:05:55 - Introduction 0:07:44 - Movement 0:07:47 - Snap-point turning 0:11:09 - Ladder blockage event 0:12:42 - Fall damage 0:13:52 - Adaptability 0:15:13 - Lack of clarity 0:16:48 - Detriment to RPG choice-making 0:19:00 - Hitboxes 0:20:50 - Player hitboxes 0:22:04 - Enemy hitboxes 0:24:00 - Explosive barrel example 0:24:31 - Sir Alonne's grab 0:25:34 - Hitbox examples 0:29:44 - DS1+3 examples 0:30:30 - A.I. 0:31:58 - Aggro Ranges/Obstruction 0:34:14 - Pathfinding 0:40:02 - A.I. suicide 0:42:31 - Assorted bugs 0:47:28 - Boss Healing 0:49:43 - Levelling 0:49:43 - Over-levelling 0:51:28 - Weapon levelling 0:54:22 - Human Effigies 0:56:23 - Repair system 0:57:52 - Focus System 0:58:28 - Target Prioritisation 1:01:42 - Weapon inconsistency 1:05:35 - Backstabs 1:05:56 - Backstab failures 1:08:34 - Backstab Inconsistencies 1:11:39 - Lack of Clarity 1:12:25 - Miscellaneous design failures 1:12:29 - Fragrant branches of Yore 1:13:25 - Headshot staggering 1:14:13 - Graphical criticsm/vagueness 1:15:08 - Model Animations 1:16:15 - Miscellaneous modelling 1:18:11 - Audio 1:18:55 - Item pick-up audio cuts 1:19:45 - Boss Music 1:20:37 - Audio inconsistencies 1:21:57 - Minor nitpicks 1:22:03 - Disconnection message 1:22:36 - Unskippable credits 1:23:32 - The "B-Team" 1:25:17 - Overview 1:26:12 - Combat 1:27:16 - Exploration 1:28:21 - Resource management 1:28:47 - RPG Elements 1:29:22 - System subversion/redundancy 1:31:03 - Aspects kept/dropped in DS3 from to DS1/2 1:33:10 - Conclusion 1:35:39 - Comment from Harris 1:36:43 - Video quality upkeep 1:37:47 - Closing 1:40:15 - Final thanks 1:42:12 - Extra clips
