In many ways Dark Souls is the kind of game you always wanted as a kid but knew couldn't exist because the tech would bog it down. If you grew up on PS3 or later it makes less sense I guess.

I played Dark Souls 1 and it was fun but I used guides and wikis constantly. Playing that game blind means your build would inherently end up shitty and you would miss lots of gear.

Yeah imagine not leveling up endurance cause you don't know how important it is the you are level 50 and a level up costs 99999 souls
I mean you could respec, but you need to find a special npc hidden in some area you skipped and only available after you give him a certain item.
The jap devs really expect you to spend 200 hours exploring the same areas over and over instead of using a guide a finishing the game in 10 hours

I played only 15 minutes of Dark Souls only to uninstall it later. The most boring braindead game you can honestly play. People who "master" the game are losers.

I don't understand why people enjoy Souls games or Souls-like games. What's fun about dying to the same boss a million times?

How was he supposed to know? You are given a sword and a big guy to fight. Was he supposed to try to beat it for 40 minutes to then randomly find the exit while circling the arena?
This is the worst design choice in fromsoft games, you are supposed to run past fights (see tree sentinel), run past enemy camps, blast through difficult areas

They're decent games but they're not as hard or mechanically as complicated in how you play them as games like Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 which came before them. They're what normalfags think of when they think of hard games.

You get a lil better each time you die, then you get muh dopamine after defeating it
You also could just summon cooperators and beat every boss first try

It is perfect for neets who lack stress in their daily life. The other part if the audience is normies who think beating a difficult game is an accomplishment. To me being stressed isn't fun at all and it actually makes me do worse at a game.

Ds1, ds2 and BB where on the right track. Now fromslop has decided that the only way to fight a boss is to memorize their entire movesent and dodge patterns.
Also they made areas too easy or normalfags would quit the game too soon

i dont think the first few games are rollslop, it'd be like calling doom 2 a doom clone
i guess it's right but it'd be weird to do st ill
demon souls was fun i think, i dont really like the remake thing since it just has this really soulless slop color to it that the original didnt
ds1 is also pretty good i think
ive never played bloodborne since i dont own a ps4
i think the issue with most of them is that its just a game where you bash your head against the wall, this is especially bad in the newer ones because the bosses have really wonky attacks that are telegraphed in a retarded way (see melania or whatever in elden slop)
also it looks like its just ended up becoming dark souls + whatever new game trend)
at least in their earlier rpgs you could expect people to have the manual and stuff
