Dark Souls 2?

i'm genuinely convinced DS3 was made by C team

It has been confirmed that the BB team and DaS2 team aren't the same team.
But both teams were directed by Miya.
Basically it means that DaS3 isn't utter shit like DaS2 but only slightly less utter shit simply because Miya managed to partially mitigate the damage and tighten up a couple of screws during development, not enough to save the whole package but enough not to let it come out as liquid shit.

but it's not, you're just a filthy guide user with master key

Why do underagefags always add a question mark at the end of statements?

It's from the movie Funky Forest

He ended it with a question mark to imply a response from the previous user as why they had trouble with "fucking deer". Try and keep up oldfag.

Never looked at a guide, and never played the Depths until I did and read about a boss called the gaping dragon.
That was after several playthroughs, all with master key because other then old witch ring why would you use anything else?

I always pick the master key, its just commen sense.

...

I tried playing this shit already but I gave up.
I'm thinking of giving it another chance.
Should I go for regular DS2 plus DLCs, or just get Scholars of the first shit?
