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?

    Okay, now I remember why I put it down. I couldn’t sunbro properly, and this didn’t gel with my STR/FTH build. Going back to replay a boss fight was nearly impossible.

      I like to sunbro in dark souls and it really frustrated that soul memory got in the way of me lending a hand.

        Soul Memory would have been a much better mechanic if they had it work off of souls that you've invested in some way rather than just souls that you've had (and maybe also checked for the level of your weapons the way DS3 ended up doing). That way, you could intentionally lose souls to keep Sunbroing, and also a regular player who loses a bunch of souls by accident doesn't end up being as heavily penalized.
