What they say: DS2 sucks
What they mean: Game is too hard for me
It takes control away from you by snapping your left stick to angles, they frequently resort to enemy spam and horde bosses, the animations and models are cartoonish compared to any of their other games, thrust attacks can't be aimed up or down far enough to attack small enemies without locking on, a significant portion of the game is trivialized by effectively infinite / spammable heals, iframes are tied to a stat...
It sucks.
I'm sorry to hear those things ruined it for you.
FWIW it's not like the game is unplayable or didn't have any good ideas. It's still better than 90% of the other AAA games coming out at the time, I just think it's silly and unproductive to pretend it isn't significantly more flawed than their other games.
