it's a git gud mechanic.
either you get smart and strategize your moves against the boss or you do a runback.
they dont want you just brainlessly mashing buttons to see what sticks
the only thing wrong about this is that the game forces you to learn how to diagonal pogo and in the following hour gives you the reaper crest eliminating the need to use it any longer.

Had no problems with Silksong but Elden Ring hard filtered me. Why would I want to play it where it had a ridiculous amount of input reading and the enemies don't stop fighting? Sure, it was "hard" but it was devoid of any fun.

Elden Ring got powercrept as fuck after a number of updates. Buffing spells, animations and nerfing bosses. Of course its fucking easy now.

Nah bro, sounds like a skill issue. You can literally breeze through that whole section if you time your jumps and stop panic-spamming the attack button. It’s not bad design, you’re just bad.
>elden ring comes out >"this game is shit because you can just throw yourself at every boss until you beat it" >silksong comes out >"this game is shit because you can't just throw yourself at every boss until you beat it, there's a long runback before"

elden ring is by far the easiest souls game lmao >>720738839 (OP)
hated this runback, but the boss afterwards took me even longer.. (beastfly)
>>720739332 >Just like Elden Ring
Elden ring catered to casuals a fuckton. There's a billion videos on how to trivialize the game with cheap builds that take no time to put together, that's why it won GOTY, because it gives unskilled faggots and journos the illusion of being good at games. Silksong is more like Demon's Souls or Sekiro.
