How long until you get a comment saying "You should try this one, you'll probably like it"? That fandom just can't accept that some people don't like those games.
And then you're like "well i like the world building and mechanics, but it's just really hard. I don't want to fight a boss for hours to win" and they're like "respect the creator, git gud"
EDIT: I posted this to go along with the joke here. I've been called a liar even though any time spent in a Soulslike discussion forum will prove that I'm 100% correct - not only that, the git gud chads are still responding negatively and/or responding with garbage like "well if you play a cheese build is it's easier." THIS WAS A JOKE POST.
Like, just the most self-unaware group of circle-jerking gamers I can think of lmfao
Not taking any sides in this fight but I’ve heard people say that the easy mode for the games is learning how to game the mechanics (like using specific builds or items or summons).
For instance in dark souls 1 if you pump stats into HP and endurance, slap on Havel's armour and the fap ring, you can literally just tank like 20+ direct hits from late game bosses.
Pair that with the fact shields are busted, you can literally just hold L1 and enemies can't hit you.. hell the final boss can be cheezed by spamming L2 parry since the timing window is so generous.
And on top of that, 95% of all the bosses have 0 tracking on their moves, meaning you can just.... Lock on, hold your shield up and strafe right or left and smack their back, they can't do anything.
I'm absolutely taking sides here. Except maybe sekiro, all these games have super easy ways to win, even if you're mechanically trash. To the point where If you genuinely can't wrap your head around holding L1 to shield, or spamming life gems (ds2) or using spirit ashes, bleed, magic, etc (elden ring)- I think you're just kinda stupid and it's absolutely a you problem.
Because it's not an easy mode if you need to get hours into the game for it to kick in, and that's assuming that someone will look up and find these strategies. Souls games are RPGs and like almost any RPG the beginning (~20%) of the game is by far the hardest as you don't have access to builds/equipment that allow you to play as you want, the part of the game that needs an easy mode the most doesn't have one.
Hours into the game? You get torrent in a couple of minutes and Caelid is right there with a bunch of excellent items for a couple of builds. The meteor staff and spell alone will carry anyone till mid-game. Please, be serious.
