Love the game, but I also love Dark Souls 2.
Was wondering why Dark Souls 2 Is loathed by some fans and Dark Souls 3 is venerated by the those same fans?

Another reason that people like me who hated Dark Souls 2 loved Dark Souls 3 is because Dark Souls 3 shamelessly pandered to people like me. That game is absolutely steeped in "remember dark souls? you're so cool for having played dark souls enough to recognize this area/callback/character/lore." It gave the world and story set up by Dark Souls a conclusion that it absolutely never needed and that no one, not even Dark Souls fans like me, ever asked for. And it relegated the entire Dark Souls 2 section of the world to a tiny transitionary swamp right before they brought back motherfucking firelink shrine.
Lol I can imagine playing the game felt twice as awesome if you’d played and beaten Dark Sould 1 before 3. He’ll, Dark souls 3 is my favorite Dark souls game without even having played 1 first. I can only imagine how cool it was if you had thoroughly trounced Dark Souls 1
My fiancé wants to get me a Ps5 this Christmas (the digital one) and I’m very much looking forward to playing the Demon Sould remake. That’s the main reason I told her PS5 over a series console. Shit looks amazing
The dark souls 1 callbacks kinda made me dislike some of DS3 originally, I really didn't like the first game, (partly because of the pc port being awful), so when you like return to anor londo, I was like, "shit, here we go again!"
Same, except when I was like that, it was with a massive smile on my face.
But yeah, I definitely understand that people who didn't post on forums dedicated to dissecting Dark Souls lore before Dark Souls 2 was ever even thought up would be less amused by such pandering
