After suffering on the second boss with no adaptability, then wrecking the entire game with 40 of it, I can indeed confirm that adaptability is very important

[@chickenheart3612]

Adaptability is not important, Agility is. Attunement will raise Agility too, making casters' lives a bit easier. Inversely, you can make up for having bad Agility by having very good armor and high weight carry, or no armor at all and making use of the entire roll distance, a bit like you'd play any game where dodge rolling doesn't have s. Dark Souls 2 is just sort of made to break players who are too cocky and sure of themselves, and it shows lol

[@Alex_Barbosa]

@@chickenheart3612 attunement barely raises it at all though. Agility is raised alot more by adaptability, so by extension that makes adaptability important.

[@leviadragon99]

Yeah, ADP is either feast or famine, whether you have basically none and life is misery, or you have enough and the game is trivial because it needs to be at least POSSIBLE for the no-agility tribe, it was a bad mechanic, when equip load and Dex-based cast-speed increase already fulfils a similar design role more elegantly, without undercutting fundamental core mechanics.

Fun Fact: In Dark Souls 2, the Greatsword always aims for the exact direction your character is moving in. The only way for the lock-on function to work as intended with this weapon is to not move at all.

[@lefthandedscout9923]

This is intentional and a lot of people like this for roll catching! Of course I despise it and can't use any big weapons in ds2 as a result -_-

[@orbitalvagabond]

It doesn't aim in the direction you're moving in. Heavy weapons' attack direction can be manipulated even when locked on by holding down the movement input, but it starts out in the direction of your lock-on. This is very important for mixups and roll-catches in PvP, as otherwise you would be at an extreme disadvantage to lighter weapons.

For some reason, DS2 makes you name your character _before_ you create them, so there was no way for Dan to know what he'd end up with. The name Beckett was chosen because Dan had made a couple jokes during the pre-game chat that DS2 had been inspired by the works of Irish author Samuel Beckett.

Yes, Adaptability would help you with the ultra greatsword of the boss in the final DLC, the more I frames might make the difference between a grab connecting and not, or whether the end of your roll is invincible for long enough that when it flicks behind him you might or might not be invulnerable.

[@thehittite6982]

So a little bit of mechanical trivia for you all. The physical defense of enemies will generally be about the same for all enemies in an area and will steadily rise the further into the game you go with some odd outliers. For instance: the Covetous Demon not only has unusually low defense for his area but he actually has the lowest defense in the game. But there's no outlier as extreme as those three little pigs in Majula, who have Final/DLC Boss defense.

[@chillrendbeats]

With a wildly unpopular opinion, this is my favorite souls game. I don’t disagree that it’s not the best but DS2 is the most fun I’ve had playing a souls game period. It’s both incredibly easy and bullshit difficult with life gems and ADP and choosing to not use either of these. Depending on how you want to play this is either the hardest or the easiest souls game by far (sorta like Eldenring). The lore is meh, kinda just DS1 but again, nonetheless still intriguing. The music is wonderful and this is proved by the fact you’ve probably heard the majula theme at least once even if you’ve never played the game before. The bosses are great (most of the time) and are numerous providing cool weapons and difficult challenges. Anyways I should probably watch the video now 😅

[@drantil]

This one brought so many memories, and specially I reflect on how I didn't really like any of the areas throughout the game LOL! Looking at it with perspective, and after having played Sekiro, Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring after it... Thinking about the areas on Dark Souls 2, it seems to me the whole game was made on the idea of making your life myserable with traps, all enemies strategically positioned to harass, take you by surprise, or flood you with numbers, cramped areas, more traps, etc. I believe I would hate playing this game right now after having played all the others... The only trully good things I recall are the bosses, A LOT and varied and almost all of them gave you their soul to change for equipment, some of the zones for the ambiance, tone and design like the lava castle, the underground waters were the giant SIren-toad sings, the tower of the mirror knight, the dragon mountaintops, or even that underground section on Majula's well that was pitch black (although, of course, the poison-spitting traps xD)... Then the DLCs were pretty decent too and added quite a bunch of new bosses, weapons and nifty things to collect, plus some new mechanics and nice developed areas.

Nice to see a sequel (kinda) to my favorite RT video

[@ShaneT5S]

I love Dark Souls 2, and I'm going to enjoy these videos, especially with how the first couple minutes have been so far

[@MetronaJ]

I was so excited to see the fisty mcstrong moment in the highlights and it did not disappoint lol

[@timhess8249]

Fisty McStronk will fist his way into the 2023 Highlights as well. Mark my words

[@amidalaprin4846]

....finding out rt didn't explore the tutorial area and *get his weapon* is... Going to make this interesting.

[@unosamiX]

I'm looking forward to the rest of this playthrough!

[@motleythewild]

Happy to see the timers for chat are moving to all streams now

[@mechaswool]

Ah, the Dark Souls 2 of Dark Souls. The Dark Souls of all time

[@grandma462]

Another Rumble Tumble Game classic!

[@sod0m]

This is how to make soulsborne video if you aren't great at the games. Just complete fucking chaos. Love it.

[@samuelfaiman1387]

Not sure why but I definitely needed RT DS2 gameplay today

[@mirrankei]

what an anticlimactic end to an epic laduel

[@RvngeDaDawgs]

Jack Horner is my favorite character RT has made yet

[@EmeraldPhoenix-sp8hm]

YES. Love these 'beating by stupid means' series so much.

9:10 This is what sheer panic looks like

[@timhess8249]

Who wouldn’t be in a state of panic when a man named “Fisty McStronk” suddenly starts running at you. Dan saw his life flash before his eyes in those few seconds.
