Where did DS1 go wrong?
I don't think it necessarily went wrong anywhere. I had an excellent time with it.

I would just say that I never found myself invested in my character's story, just everyone else's. I was invested in other people's stories, and reading the descriptions of the excellent lore was great. But even though I am "The Chosen Undead" it never felt like my story. The fact that if I don't do it,

With DS2 I get to meet Vendrick, I get to connect with Alsanna, I get to explore the fallen Kingdoms, and Aldia feels like he's telling me enough to give me a choice, unlike the serpents leading me.

I just like DS2's approach to a more personal story, that's all.

It's a better game because you liked looking at it more and because of the story?
It's a better game because those things are things I enjoy and the gameplay itself, while less polished, wasn't to the degree where I hated it, so the story and visuals are a boon and the gameplay isn't a significant detriment.

Eh, idk.

People complain about unfair enemy placement but after your first initial run-in got you killed, I found it pretty easy to figure out how to get past enemies. Some parts of the DLC are straight up trash, though.

Other than that, I can't think of anything that was too bad about DS2. Some of the hitboxes WERE wonky, but it was only a handful. People made it sound like every enemy was gonna hit me from 50 miles away, etc. and it wasn't the case

Certainly there is some unfair bullshit in there but I found most of the game manageable with a little bit of thinking

BUT I found the story of DS2 infinitely more compelling because it revolved around humans and I found it much more of a human story/drama than DS1

Also, while some people hate the inconsistency of the geography of DS2, I was able to look past it because I already got over all my issues with the existence of the Great Hollow/Ash Lake in DS1

I found the actual areas of DS2 to be quite stunning in visage and internally consistent (except the Aldia mansion/Dragon Aerie and Earthen Peak/Iron Keep, which were admittedly pretty bad). The DS2 DLC areas were just visually stunning in every way.

Anyway, both games are great, but man DS2 rocked it

Golden Abyss yes, but Drake's Fortune? Nah. Among Thieves has a better antagonist, gameplay and set pieces, and has multiplayer, but for story, dialogue, setting, and replay value, Drake's Fortune is better.

The gameplay jump between U1 and U2 trumps any story beats. Uncharted 1 had way too many shootout sections whether stealth was basically impossible and the shooting mechanic was janky as hell, and those were all back-loaded to endgame.

If it's the stunning by breaking the crystal, then I know it. I just can't run to the tail in time.

I've tried with my +15 Claymore and my +14 Balder Sword and I just cannot cut that thing off before he starts spamming his curse attack or his tail whips.

And I'm cursed so a single tail whip will kill me.

But I only have one purging stone. I don't want to waste it because if I fail because I'm trying to cut off the tail, I'm stuck at killing him cursed or doing Duke's Archives again after warping out to buy a purging stone

Guerrilla Soldier posted... honestly, my beef with it is just that the presentation and execution of it wasn't the greatest

i think if it had been the right timing, the right delivery, it would've been on the opposite site. but that's the alternate dimension we didn't get to live in. instead they didn't spend enough time on making it iconic enough and what's left is this kinda really awkward one that has a good idea but not a good execution but now we can't "do it better" without it just being some kind of homage or parody.

The execution was perfectly fine. What happens is exactly what Bobby told Tony would happen and what Tony did a flashback to the prior episode. The Members Jacket is a callback to Tony and Chris having Eugene execute someone in a diner the way he's about to be capped. The dude who kills him re-enacts Tony's favorite Godfather scene. Tony is shot from 3 o'clock which is the warning Mikey Palmice gave to Chris to pass to Tony when Chris saw Mikey in hell during his coma. Tony being whacked in front of his family mirrors him whacking Phil in front of his family. The last thing Tony sees is Meadow, arguably the only person Tony loved unconditionally. It's basically Phil's death but from Tony's own POV.

There's nothing lackluster about it.

If you want to go even deeper into pure fanon, there's arguments about Meadow being Tony's guardian angel arriving too late for the first time, and about the weird edit of Tony walking into the diner and seeing himself already seated as a callback to Chris telling Tony that in hell, you just see yourself dying over and over again, meaning Tony is already dead and we're watching him relive it.

I beat Bloodborne earlier this year. Game was hard at the beginning but I beat everything (DLC included). I got really into the Chalice Dungeons which I think hurt my experience with the game since somewhere around the Ebrietas fight it became kind of easy, with only Orphan of Kos being a challenge because I had gotten so many Echoes clearing a Chalice Dungeon between each main-game area

Anyway, I used a guide to get to Undead Burg but I think I'm gonna go completely blind from hereon out and see where the game takes me.

I kind of have a feel for the mechanics though having a useful shield and it being slower is definitely a departure from Bloodborne. I do like the look of the world so far though, from the small area I've seen (Firelink Shrine)
