I feel you I guess, I'm probably just not that good at them period. It's taken me like a day before just to clear a certain section on Sekiro and after I killed the boss I was stuck on I just felt like I wasted my time that's all lol. I could of learnt a new song on the piano or cleared a full game out my backlog, literally.
People love Bloodborne now just as much as they did at release
I remember when I first played Dark Souls completely blind on Xbox 360, I went to New Londo first, after getting my ass beaten, I entered the Drake Valley and get my ass beaten again, later I entered the graveyard and got my ass beaten again, after countless ass beating. I was like "Wow these are the most amazing tutorial levels ever!"
Sekiro is mecanically the hardest Soulsborne game, getting stuck is not uncommon bro.
Cheers for the advice bro I need to eventually pick it back up so its appreciated.
My opinion is not popular, so I have to make a thread about it.
Well, I'd argue the fact there is good art design makes it less overated than Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, Pokémon Arceus and Tales of the Arise.
Yes it did
It can,but levelling up usually solves that issue and normally that would mean grinding an area over and over......now it's open world I imagine that sort of tedium would be alliviated bacause you can go anywhere and explore to level up.
Tbh undead burg was a well designed section and a very good representation of the overall game. The gameplay loop doesn't change dramatically afterwards, it just becomes more challenging.
Yes, I do like the fact you can go off, level up, and try again.
Yea,like I said before....if they have managed to keep that classic feel and experience of their games and transport it to an open world,then it should be a pretty special game.It looks to me like a great starting point for people who haven't played a From game before.
Fighting skinny little zombies on a generic medieval battlement with your basic starting equipment is a good representation of all the crazy shit that happens later on?
Yes the gameplay loop is that essentially. You hit things with a sword. I mean I know you were trying to be sarcastic but it's essentially true. You see a enemy, you recognize its patterns, you attack. Then you make it to a boss. You study it's patterns, you form a plan and attack. That's the core gameplay loop. For better or for worse, it applies from undead burg to all the way to the end boss. If someone doesn't gel with that loop it's completely fair to drop it after undead burg.
Enemies don't respawn in Elden Ring. They stay dead until you die or you rest, just like every other Souls game.
I know that the game exist and a lot of people talk about it. But being a From Software game I know what expect and usually FS's games are not my type of game (but I what to play Sekiro someday). Because of that, I didn't lose my time watching or reading anything about the game.
Yeah it doesn't suddenly turn into a first person shooter half way through, but with the amount of weapons and spells you get, the environments and bosses, the late game is MASSIVELY different to the early game.
Conversely, how can hype be overblown if you have not played it?
Exactly. It's literally Dark Souls 4. The menu system is the same, the parry system, the back stab , the weapon scaling. If the only reason someone disliked Dark Souls was the lack of 'open world', then they may like this. Otherwise, this won't do anything to change their mind as it is the exact same formula but with more freedom.
I couldn't have said it better. This game's gameplay style is what gets me going. A lot of games I haven't finished is because they are repetitive with the same enemies every room and nothing but button mashers. A Souls game forces you to think about every encounter and the enemies are varied throughout and just discovering what their techniques are is a blast. Sure, it's challenging, but that's what makes the game fun.
If you don't mind me asking, what is it you aren't liking?
I can think of two GAF members that are exactly like that ;P
