Hollow Knight gave me more trouble than any Fromsoft boss I think. Cuphead too. I'm just kinda s*** at platformers I guess.

I'd argue not since 3

Demons and 2 for sure

Ds1 has its moments like the stupid ass placements of the enemies in the lava area

But overall in the modern era no imo

If its "really" difficult then youre build is probably ass (which can happen in any rpg), youre doing things too early or youre ignoring core mechanics of the game wither by not knowing it (which is fine or some dumb self imposed restriction on yourself (which is dumb asl imo). Also lesser things like still getting used to the wonky unique controls that everyone has to go through & isnt friendly, or youre being impatient or ignorant of your gameplay or surroundings.

The games have multiple legit builds & methods, of dealing with most things & this isnt even talking about the actual cheat stuff like fire 3000 arrows from afar or throw poison bombs over the gate.

I think theyve hit a good inbetween point sonce BB n DS3, n part of reason why i dont think DS1 is top 3 of the series like some nostalgics do.

Same.

Im bad at 2d games in general for the most part.

The hardest games oat imo is Furi, Cuphead & Ninja Gaiden Black (Alma of NGB is the most bullshit unfair and grueling ounishing thing oat).

This is while Souls & MH are top 10 series for myself, which are usually the poster boys of modern day difficulty along with Hollow Knight.

Its always either Souls or GTA being used as a comparison to downplay or big up some other game by some person randomly

Always happens especially with AAA titles

Are you talking about the beserkers?

I lost my s*** at those

Haven’t raged like that in awhile

FINALLY got the game in and first impression.

The sound mixing with headphones is ASS.

i'm playing it with my girlfriend and i realize the character she made looks like Uffie

I bought the game because of summons I thought you'd be able to make a build tailored to using summons all the time.

A man of culture who understands

I respect that everyone should have their own way to play. Sucks you couldn’t reallly build into simmons tho

ER difficulty is hard to even gauge for me. Like definitely for a first time FromSoft game player, it will more than likely be difficult. ER was my from FromSoft game, so I ain't know s*** about builds n stat allocations etc. I feel like once you at least know what stats go where, and what build you want to do, it's a moderately difficult game. Like mechanically there is of course a high skill ceiling, but I'd say if you could reach half of that you'd be fine cruising through the game. Combine that with the numerous OP builds, and you're coasting for the most part.

For me I think there are just a lot of dated mechanics that make the game have an artificial difficulty level. Some questionable game design choices as well imo.

I had to give up on those, I was ready to break my controller bc no matter what I did I couldn’t even get close to killing those f***s

Dam u suck

Your Reddit gold should upload momentarily

Thanks brother

i dont like how it just takes you out of stealth like this

Just copped a 5

y'all really are buying ps5s for this game?

Well I know I’ll need one in general. God of war. Spidey. Ect.

real welcome

Game’s alright so far. 6.5-7/10.
Writing is the epitome of mediocre though. Everything feels very truncated.

Also, most of the characters kind of have the same vibe, even the guy from Slytherin. The writers seem to have been trying really hard to push an inoffensive “joyful” tone and it can come off as really forced at times.

Think this is the probably the consequence of having HP nerd fans as the writers as opposed to having them focus on the world building/environment/art design of the game, they don’t seem to be doing anything interesting with the material for the most part, just revering and basking in it.

Which results in the game feeling like the most expensive fan game ever made. Which is fine, but there’s no shot that something like this would be a “great” that stands the test of time.

Strikes me as a hit it and quit type game.

After all that wait you missed the delusion of hype at launch so now you just think its meh

Still better than what I thought it would be at the very least.

Thought it would be a 4 or 5.
Also, I don’t really fall into that much. If you ever see my ratings of games, even newly released ones , they’re pretty fair.
