when people say the mechanics in DS2 are unsatisfying they are usually complaining that the heavy weapons actually feel heavy. which is one of the main things that DS2 fans actually love about the game.

I've literally never heard that specific gripe before. I also powerstanced Greatswords (ie the UGS called that, man that naming convention is dumb) and enjoyed that aspect but still found it the worst by far.

Also Dark Souls 1 and 3 have the ridiculous instant backstabs that cause the entire meta to be built around fishing.

3 does not by a long shot. It's animation is more akin to 1's than 2's I'll grant you, but unlike 1 you can still fail to connect quite often, especially in PvP. It also just has a smaller angle range in general I'm pretty sure.

Suffice it to say, backstab fishing in PvP is pretty much as viable in 3 as it is in 2, which is to say it pretty much won't happen unless someone fucks up.
