It's not easy being the bastard step child from a different parents that were getting high on shoe polish.
And no work of art knows that better than the cesspool of mediocrity and unapologetic hack fest, according to the internet, that was the sequel to Dark Souls.
The first Dark Souls game is considered to be gift from the gods to the mere undeserving casual mortals, made even better by incosistent frame rate, ridiculous hidboxes, unclear goals and bonkers rule sets. It is the game that if you haven't played and finished with only a fork as a weapon and had a knife stabbed in your eyeball in real life, you are considered the dirtiest virgin who somehow has syphilis, gonorrhea and probably voted for that communist Donald Trump Duck, in the eyes of the so called "gaming comunity".
The sequel to such masterpiece is viewed as a slimy, smelly spit in the face with its streamlined approach, clear story in place of random ambiguity, same clunky combat as before, insane hitboxes, lack of reasonable connections between the zones, constant gang bang from 50 different enemies in a game made for 1 on 1 fighting i.e. it had places with arbitrary difficulty spikes for the sake of it, solid customization, actually playable on PC with constant frame rate, no keyboard or mouse support though, but you can use them with no problem, best DLC's in the series, most surpassing a lot of what the actual vanilla game can offer. It was pretty much the same mess as the first one, but with some severe lack of atmosphere and visual design going all over the place. And had some amazing graphical downgrade from what people were promised in the promotional materials.
But all of this can be passed as white noise, since we are talking about RPG. And in such you are supposed to feel free to make your path in the world. The theory is only psychopaths go out, searching for adventures. You are sucked in some kind of maelstrom, an old hag tells you will die a lot, after that you end up on the beach where some random lady sends you on a quest to kill stuff and something about a king. Why would you do that? The place seems nice, the see looks calm, you can have everything you have ever wanted. And you don't seem to have to spend any money. Why would you throw that away for a chance to get stabbed in the genitals by invisible dickheads from the back? Let them do the dirty work. Let her have your equipment and send her ass on search for that king, if she is so fond of him. While you embrace tranquility and peace.

This is an animated parody for the game Dark Soul 2
It is mostly test animation (which is the lamest excuse ever), since I am too lazy to actually animate.
Thank you for watching.
I actually got a chuckle out of the whole funkiness in the beginning. I think it was the booty shake that got me. I'm surprised i laughed, because i could barely stand that randomness.
As you say yourself, this is barely an animation.
I'm not sure what to make of the description. Is it shitting on the first game and criticizing the community for disliking the second? Shitting on both? Is it just a snarky way to demonstrate affection for the series? I can't tell.
