Dark Souls 2 does have a tutorial boss fight with the Last Giant. It's just that the devs made it an optional fight and not one that you need to do. Most of the criticism of the dragon is that it's not a good fight. The dragon's fire hits you behind the wall of the stairs and the only difficulty in fighting it is just having to time avoiding it's fire. It's easy as hell in melee. If you look at youtube videos of people doing SotFS Dks2 they almost always cheese the fight with a bow because it's significantly less time consuming.
This is in stark contrast to the bridge dragon in Dark Souls 1 where you could avoid it's flame attacks and fighting it in melee was harder than fighting it at range. It also had more thought put into it's design since it has melee specific moves and reacts to the player. (if the player hides behind the walls to the left and right if flies up and uses an AOE fire attack, if you get behind it, it attacks you with the tail etc).
It's rare I hear someone complain about the Bridge Dragon in Dks1 since it is an optional fight and it's fun to do. Almost everyone complains about the dragon in Dks2 because it's lazy filler content that isn't enjoyable.

Porting these games to PC were the biggest mistake From ever made
The community for these games was great when they were console only. Now multiplayer is wall to wall hackers and we can't have a single thread without someone like showing up. I'd rather have to keep a PS3 around than deal with that.

You know what's funny? Just today I was invaded by a cheater. I was on a new character in the forest of fallen giants when I got invaded by a guy with a blue name called "Fromsoft Support". He backstab teleported me all the way to Majula where he wanted me to follow his trail of Prism stones to the bonfire where he had set down 23 Divine Blessings. He then killed himself. I had no idea what the fuck had happened so I stood around Majula for a minute. I needed to get back there anyways because I wanted to level up

To be fair I wouldn't call 9 years just 'a few,' Demon's Souls' servers lasted far longer than anyone thought they would.
Pics related, in 1 and 2 they called it a scythe and in 3 they called it a glaive. I also just remembered that you can get Gundyr's bardiche in 3, but it's called a halberd for whatever reason.
DeS's servers were originally supposed to go down only a few years after the game did, the only reason they didn't was because people flipped their shit which caused Atlas to move the date forward.
