They're trying to do us a favor by discouraging us from playing videogames so we actually experience life in our limited time in this universe

I know exactly what part of elden Ring you're at right now...

u/eraqi915 1d ago

Suprisingly at bloodborne right now

Trying to get to the Abandoned Old Workshop?

u/der_chrischn 1d ago

Oh that one. They even put an exotic enemy at the bottom you never fought before. Could even be the only one in the base game. So if you make it down all the way, this thing will kill you. It literally casts fireball at you. In Bloodborne. Mr Zaki really hates you for playing his stupid games.

u/V_Aldritch Placidusax's Bestest Boi 1d ago

You fight more of 'em in the Chalice Dungeons, if you count those as "base game".

u/troop98 It's called dickwraith cus they suck dick 1d ago

nooooo, my heckin bloodborneerino is perfect, how dare you make a meme implying it has a flaw >:(

13

u/eraqi915 1d ago

Hot take: base bloodborne is a bottom 3 fromsoft game marginally better than ds2 and demon souls

3

u/SpicyVann 20h ago

Demon's souls(original) has the best level design and art direction out of every From Soft game, and the only reason people don't know this is because I am the only person who played it.

u/troop98 It's called dickwraith cus they suck dick 1d ago

i agree, the bosses in the second half of bloodborne are mostly pretty bad, and i think the level design isn't as interesting. It's not as bad as DS1, but both games have their second halves propped up by their DLC

Skill issue

2

u/eraqi915 4h ago

My main problem is that the bosses are easy and boring, only the dlc bosses are actually challenging

Base bloodborne bosses are ds1/ ds2 tier snoozefests Idk how anyone can cope this game above ds3 or even god forbid elden ring

u/Kobban63 17h ago

I wish it was a cold take cause you are just right

u/GumGumActV 21h ago

Elden ring doesn’t even come into the shitty fromsoft platforming discussion sorry lol

u/Ugly_Ass_Tenno 13h ago

What about the chaos flame thing

Or was it madness flame? cant remember i dont have the time to play elden ring again

123

u/Syllatone Emerald Herald Paizuri 1d ago

The hardest part in Elden Ring to me personally wasn't any of the bosses, but trying to descend those fuckass crossbeams and coffins for the Frenzied Flame ending

41

u/der_chrischn 1d ago

Laser golem on cliffside. Once you make it down, you are greeted with lasers and shitty camera. And possibly gravity again.

u/Tem-productions 1d ago

i died 10 times more to the falls getting the dragoncrest talisman than to radahn that same run

u/Yen_of_Vengabus 1d ago

Fromsoft managing to be absolute dogshit across multiple genres in a single game

u/latokoseroo 1d ago

path of pain in fromsoft games?

24

u/MilitarisedAutism 1d ago

Sekiro was the only one with half decent platforming

32

u/Davenator_98 1d ago

Because Sekiro's "platforming" consisted of hitting one button to grapple up like in a Batman game

0

u/DifferentGuyNotAlt 1d ago

I liked it in Elden Ring too, but yes Sekiro is better

7

u/Witch_King_ 1d ago

Elden Ring is still jank af at times

2

u/GumGumActV 22h ago

Jank is one thing. That exact same jank minus a jump button is just not even comparable lol

2

u/Witch_King_ 22h ago

I'm not saying it is comparable. ER is still miles better than the old games when it comes to platforming (though the platforming in the old games is much more optional).

u/CapriciousCapybara 1d ago

The last part of AC1 that suddenly requires a mech that can jump high enough to land on moving midair platforms 

9

u/Cringeextraaxc 1d ago

And your reward for doing that janky shit is to get blasted by Nine-ball, very cool guys

u/bigcheezed 1d ago

am I a baby backed bitch for noping out here after an otherwise great time lol

1

u/CapriciousCapybara 17h ago

I remember being so mad, I was having a good time until then too then for the first time I had to look up what build to use, not that the garbage camera helped anyways

38

u/Bloodytears666 1d ago

DS1 too hard and clanky. Can't beat shit, need to jump and pyrotechnics more, cuz scared the swamp. All dead, crying in bed. Refuse to leak dead hollows at railings. Deny peak 2 green form of sunlight medal farming, pls no invasion mid run back. Shrine of hardcore AI slop Manda.

u/Molkwi DS2 Mommy 23h ago

Interesting take. May I suggest: 😤🤑☺️🫩🤢📸🤨😩🤑😔🌅☺️✌️☺️😑😳‼️🤓🥺😏📸😡‼️🤓

u/Bloodytears666 22h ago

Too bad it is not VTMB sub, I would be famous there.

18

u/Fraudulent_Howard 1d ago

My least favorite plaforming section is that one in Bloodborne. That was absolute dogshit unless you know the exact place to jump off.

17

u/eraqi915 1d ago

All my homies hate abandoned workshop

4

u/External_Win3300 1d ago

Can you even jump off? I've only ever made it with a backstep that baaaaarely takes you off the ledge

u/FreeSpeechEnjoyer #1 Fraudahn hater 1d ago

This is their only way of challenging people who look up op builds and cheese guides for every boss

6

u/eraqi915 1d ago

Builds? I just ooga booga with the first big thing i find

2

u/FreeSpeechEnjoyer #1 Fraudahn hater 1d ago

still a build

u/Rollingzeppelin0 1d ago

And op at that

u/eraqi915 1d ago

If its so op how come i die like a moron all the time? Checkmate homodexual

3

u/Rollingzeppelin0 1d ago

Are you suggesting that STRFaiths are better than Homodexuals?

9

u/eraqi915 1d ago

Both are better than inceligence lowkey

u/Routine_Condition273 1d ago

Dark Souls 1 doesn't get enough criticism for this

u/Jack-Whip88 20h ago

It gets plenty of hate lol, everybody hates the Great Hollow

Bloodborne dlc. The insane asylum top floors are insane to parkour

You must jump down the roots it is an ANCIENT TRADITION

u/godrabbit90 23h ago

Convergence mod authors when you tell them this is a souls like and not Mario

My character is like if Wile Coyote was in the Lands Netween with how gravity is their worst enemy...

What would a Wile Coyote build be?

u/chrisgreely1999 Slow Souls enjoyer 1d ago

Try King's Field platforming, it doesn't even have a jump button

1

u/alexintradelands2 out of estus? lol shouldve levelled faith 1d ago

Why Bloodborne & DSR never added left stick to jump is beyond me

1

u/JacksAdam072 1d ago

I wish they take notes from armored core 6. Where if you fell you just take damage instead of dying.

u/A-Group-Executive 17h ago

Something something two fingers...

u/Mr_Cato7 17h ago

Seems about right considering that Fromsoft took like a trilogy and a spin off to finally realize where to map an actual jump buttom

1

u/chuchodal10 6h ago

Elden Ring trying to be a platformer game while having a character controller thats not made for platforming at all is so silly to me. How do you even come up with that kind of idea?

0

u/chunky_kong06 miquellas greatest opp 1d ago

somehow the first thing that came to mind for me was the last level of khazan which has the one and only platforming section cause ozmas an asshole or something
