another dumb meme with no basis in reality. dark souls 2 has more monster type bosses than dark souls 1, more bosses overall, and a similar % of armor dudes vs non armor dude bosses. the fact that this nonsense still gets repeated after years, in spite of the fact that it's easily debunked, really goes to show how pointless these discussions really are.

it's a shallow criticism because someone would only say this if they don't actually know enough about dark souls 1 and 2 to make a fair comparison.

Okay, no. DS1 does not have that many "armor guys" in it at all, unless you start getting really generous in what you throw in that category. I'm not gonna start laundry listing things in this topic, but when you boil it down vanilla DS1 has like 3 total when you're comparing it to the bosses that people complain are repetitive in DS2.

Also, the other problem is that a lot of the bosses in vanilla DS2 that don't fall into that template are either even worse or an awkward inferior take on a variety of DS1 bosses. Which is not to say that DS1 doesn't have some bad bosses. It has the single worst boss in the series. Let's just be glad we didn't get a DS2 version of that.
