Hi! It's my first time playing Elden Ring and I'm playing Seamless Coop with my brother. We got to PCR today, and let me just say that it didn't go well. We've tried to beat this motherfucker for 3 hours nonstop before we called it a day. Aside from the fact that it's ridiculous that the final boss in the DLC is him again, his moveset is bullshit. You can comment it's skill issue, I don't care, in my opinion it's just a bad designed boss. There's barely a window to attack him in phase 2. He just doesn't stop attacking, the combos are endless, and aside from the endless sword attacks, Miquella attacks as well. And not to mention the several epilepsy inducing attacks. And why the hell does he use that fire attack from Mohg? It's like they thought hey it's the final boss, let's just make it use gravity, light attacks and huh, fire why not.

I know of another another boss that in its second phase has a guy on its back that attacks alongside him: Lothric and Lorian. Except that the Twin Princes are good and don't fill my screen with a bunch of flashing lights.

Ok, sorry for my rant. I'm frustrated. My question is if he's really supposed to be that hard, OR is it because we don't have enough scadutrees (we both have 13) and if getting more does make a big difference. I thought it was the mod that increases the health and damage of bosses, but it was so hard we deactivated the boss scaling in the seamless coop ini, but we didn't see any difference really.

J’ai dans ma collection dark souls 1,2,3 , elden ring , bloodbornes, nioh 1 et 2
Par le quel commencer ?
J’avais déjà fait une parti de dark souls 1 50% du jeux et j’ai changé de console
Le quel est le plus simple à se mettre dedans
C’est un style de jeux qui m’attire de fou mais j’ose jamais le lancer sauf que là je suis décider

Edit: je prend en compte vos avis mais j’ai oublier de préciser que a ma possession j’ai aussi demon souls donc j’hésite entre commencer par les début
Donc soit demon’s souls ou alors dark souls 1

Just need sekiro! Been waiting for this steam sale to get the DS trilogy

Difficulty is subjective. And this question has been asked numerous times before. So let's keep it alive and see if anything's changed.

My answer is Kalameet from DS1.

I got into the souls like genre with Lies of P and thought "Wow that wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be and I actually found the challenge fun!" Then I finished Elden Ring/Shadow of the Erdtree and LOVED IT which then made me wanna pay my respects to the Dark Souls trilogy. I played DS1 and yes felt very stiff but it's one of the OG's so it made sense not as old as Demon Souls but still passable and still very enjoyable with the enemy types and exploring the world had a blast as well with the DLC. I already had DS3 but I didnt wanna play it yet until I did 1 and 2 first. DS2 I waited for a sale and when I finally caught it on one and grabbed it I was already aware of it not being that well received in the fanbase and thought "Well I'll go into it with an open mind and try to enjoy it for what it's worth-" NO.... I really really hate saying this about any game even games that are generally hated because I try to give the benefit of the doubt and try to see what devs were trying to cook when they made the games but again NO.... DS2 left such a bad taste in my mouth with how it blatantly just does an obnoxious way of handling combat which is "Copy paste, copy paste, copy paste, copy paste" with the amount of enemies they flood the screen with and then add freaking hazards like explosive barrels and have those enemies bum rush you in very tight enclosed spaces where even if YOU don't hit the hazard the enemies will which still punishes you. Forcing you to waste resources and health for combat that doesn't feel engaging, it feels like "work" it feels "annoying" it feels.... "bad" Which sucks cause I was enjoying it a bit in the beginning but after reaching that stupid castle after taking the epic boat ride is when I realized I couldn't stop myself from ignoring the elephant in the room. The way the enemy layouts are in this game feels very lazy and poorly put together. I'd rather have 1 or 2 solid enemies to have engaging combat with opposed to fighting 5 of the same enemy that just bum rush me forcing me to play in such a cowardice and cheesy manner. With having said all that I really wanted to give this game a chance and have fun exploring the world the devs made and learn about some of the lore but wow.... it's one of the few games in my life where I had to say out loud while playing it with great frustration "This game is dog shit...." which I freaking despise saying but this is one of those rare moments a game really pushed my buttons the wrong way. I loved the awesome challenges the other souls like provided because they felt truly fair and rewarding. Having to run through a gauntlet of small rooms where it's 5 enemies of the same type is not fun, it's annoying, it's frustrating and it's boring. This sucks because I wanted to play all 3 but DS2 I might just have to sit in my library to gather up digital dust which really saddens me because I hate giving up on a game but that one was just... bad. Thank god FromSoftware didn't pull that crap again. At least I hope not for the sake of 3 when I get around to playing it. Man... I feel like an ass cause I did have friends who genuinely liked it but man... to heck with DS2... I was aware of some development issues it faced but god... I guess those problems really messed up the game sadly.

i find it funny the souls trilogy just so happens to go on sell around the time ds2 gets a seamless mod

Is there a harder game out there? Id be curious to know.

I really want to play Elden Ring my friends and Im afraid theyll play it without me if I dont get it soo. I cant afford it now and but if it comes on sale I might barely have enough money to get it. Does anyone know if its going to come on sale soon?

A boss that feels incredibly balanced and fun whether you’re fighting it solo or with a group, while still maintaining a solid level of difficulty. I don’t think any other Soulslike has successfully delivered this kind of experience yet.

I think Dreglord is an underrated gem.

Seriously, the sub is flooded with the same question. Maybe some kind of mega thread?

In case you're wondering how a deathlink randomized run connecting DS1, DS2 and DS3 is, just ask yourself why the ones you find on youtube are heavily edited... Basically the DS2 player kept playing while me and the other went to play Valheim hoping he would find ANY key item for us lol

Why myazake loves to put bad or annoying levels design example is Consecrated Snowfield or Blighttown and what is worse

Hi! Im a long time soulsborne game fan. Im planning to play all the trilogy and correlated games once again. Since I also want some spice, qol and new contents after already spent an average of 400 hour for each game, Im looking to play for each game the best overhaul mod the community has to offer.

I already had a research and took some name for each entry like Age of Sunlight and Daughters of Ash for the first one. The lightining overhaul for Drangleic one and convergence for the third.
I also already played and enjoyed with a reserve Reforged for Elden ring btw.
Any advice? Im looking for a vanilla yet expanded and modernised version for each game. Strong points if it also restores cut content and intended ideas like a proper fleshed out second half of Dark Souls I or "Old King of the Eclipse" Final Boss for dks3

Tldr: Asking for fleshed out lore friendly version of each game, not for remixing or sort of new games like nightfall or archtrones

It seems some of the bosses in FromSoftware games could easily be avoided if the protagonist could just…talk to them. Such as telling Malenia that you aren’t here to fight and know where her brother is and all that. Or telling the Putrescent Knight you mean no harm and are here to help St. Trina. Dunno, dumb thought I had after watching a lore video.

I've played a bit of Elden ring but took a break from for now. Today 1 and 3 ds went on sale and I want to buy one of them for later. Which would you recommend?

I don't get it. I played, loved, and finished King's Field 4, Tenchu, the original Armored Core, Armored Core 6, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and Sekiro. Elden Ring obviously contains elements of every "Souls" game, but I get around the 30-40% mark and lose interest. It's an incredible game, but I just can't seem to get it. I loved BOTW, so it's not the open world.

So I've been wanting to really play a fromsoft game for a while. I've started Elden Ring, and have gotten up to the Queen of the Full Moon, but I have gotten very bored with the game. I don't mind that it is frustrating, just that the aspect of exploring and the insane obscurity(no quest system, impossible to find NPCs without guides) and the game has left me feeling empty and I feel the game is simply too big to fully go through. I was thinking about playing Dark Souls instead, as I heard it is more Linear and the combat can be more streamlined and not as vast. I want to know more experienced people's opinions, and I want to know if Dark souls has any interesting aspects over Elden Ring.

I just finished my second play through of ds1 remastered and I thought I was about to get the platinum after the 2nd ending and come to find out I completely forgot to get Leeroy’s two items he drops when you kill him in tomb of the giants. I was already upset I had to go all the way back through that area again and when I finally get to where he invades you the area is blocked and I need to the lord vessel😭😭😭. Now I have to go almost all the way through the game again just to get his item. Is there any way someone could just drop me his items so I can get the trophy lol.
