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?

      Yeah I think the DLC in ds2 is the best content in the series although I've never completed the ringed city

        Ringed city is actually my favorite in the series, unless we are also counting bloodborne then that would belong to “The Old Hunters”. Still the Dark Souls 2 DLC are also great

        Most of the ringed city is pretty bad but the boss fight at the end with

        spoiler I guess

        Slave knight Gael, after he kills the last of the pigmy lords.

        Is an overall high point of the series, and probably one of my favourite boss fights in any videogame, right up there with the Grigori fight in dragon's dogma.

      It's really interesting how every From game seems to have its DLC be the high point. Such good level design, combat, and boss fights in all of them.

      Though I feel like the difficulty can also go up a BIT too high in them. I've only ever beaten Orphan of Kos once, and I've never beated Gael.
