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?

    The first half of Dark Souls is one of the best games ever made. The 2nd half is unironically worse than Code "bro look off of a cliff and find a hidden path lmao" Vein. In this way, I think DS2 is a truer sequel to DS1. Incredibly high highs, unbelievable lows. DS3 oftentimes feels too polished - if that makes sense. Weird and offputting is necessary for these games to work. Not to say DS3 is bad, but it doesn't really feel as rotten (positive connotation) as I think it sometimes wants to.

    Bloodborne is the true superior sequel to DS1 because it actually represents a leap forward in both mechanical and aesthetic design. Nasty game, love it.
