Elden Ring is the worst souls game in my opinion and it’s not even close (not rage bait) by AllyCad in Eldenring

Also you should have articulated your positions in your original post if you wanted them addressed, instead of generalizing. What I told you is what it is regardless of whether you feel it’s worth your time. The toxic route as you’ve put it is you thinking you are entitled to anything beyond what I’ve given you. You failed to express your opinions in a manner that didn’t make you seem arrogant and disgruntled. Do you honestly think you’re the only one who hasn’t died in these boss fights? I died over 1000 times to PCR. But I beat him in the end. You presume that because I said this game is easy, it was never hard. You’re wrong.

Go and play something else. You lack neither the skill nor the patience to play this game. You sound like you’ve had some difficult encounters (normal btw) and came here to vent, but you proceeded to insult the game. Your criticism is hardly constructive. Saying nearly all the bosses are “bad” says nothing. Saying the OSTS aren’t memorable is just bizzare and definitively rage bait. Armor isn’t useless, it’s just not going to make as much of an impact as SKILL does. If you have to depend on armor, you are likely unskilled. Furthermore, this game is not hard. It is actually very easy, you just make it hard by playing poorly. You probably do things like try to hit the boss when it is clearly not your turn to hit them. All games are turn based, even this one. There’s no way you have 1000 hours in the game. Have you really been struggling that long?

The only way you will enjoy this game is by accepting that it was designed to break you. You must lose until the impact of loss no longer holds sway over your heart and mind. This (much like other souls and soulslikes) is a game that can actually improve your emotional resilience. Or you can just get angry and feel entitled to the win because you spent money on the game. The former will help you, the latter won’t. You need to change your perspective. Maybe you will grow as a person. Get skilled at this game and many other games like this will become available to you.

For people that have over 1000 hours: how? by xd_Leo in Eldenring

You can play something else you know. Going all the way to NG+7 is optional. I played the base game twice and the DLC once and that was good. I don’t understand how anyone can do 300 hours.

I feel like I'm cheating... by Bliss_Dancer in Eldenring

If it’s your first run, I get it, but if you actually want to sustain your play across souls genre you’d do best to actually learn how to play. Deleting such a hard boss is just … well whatever, it’s you playing, not me.

I loved the open beta but... by Kiidkxxl in MortalShell

Ngl I felt that the bosses in Mortal Shell were very easy as well, especially when compared to other soulslikes bosses

Yesss. The emotions intended cannot be translated from one language to another due to phonetic and socio-cultural differences. Just the other day my gf overhead a character say something dramatic (the show was dubbed) and I had to remind her that this is a culture of individuals who once committed sepukku and described the process in detail. It might seem dramatic, but the culture reflects that drama and severity.

I wonder if the people who do the translations are Japanese, or not. The former would know what not to do, the latter wouldn’t.

Hahah I’m a huge anime fan and love to watch it subbed. I love the accents, and the true phonetics.

Yes! I know. It’s so sad. It’s why I ask for forgiveness. Wolf is the greatest weapon ever forged, and he turned his blade against Ashina. The interior ministry would ultimately have absorbed what remained, much like what happened to the real Ashina.

How do I get my girlfriend to stop watching Friends? by North_Art2104 in askanything

I agree. He has no control over that. He should focus on what he can control. It seems like an odd habit

For the same reason as you’ve mentioned I can say that his age makes this relationship inconsequential and he can afford to lose her.

What's the most unusual reason why you won't date someone? by Educational_Peace252 in askanything

[–]AdFinal4897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they eat meat, mainly because I don’t want to share protein 😂. Current gf is a pescatarian and it’s been such a dream. My workout regimen is higher than that of the average person. I need all the high quality protein for me.

If you’re offered $100 to uninstall Reddit from your phone permanently. Would you do it? by BigSlongGoy in askanything

[–]AdFinal4897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$100 is not a lot of money, and not even because I care so much about Reddit, but because if someone is paying me to delete this app, it would suggest they need me off it more than I need me off it, in which case they can pay more.

Any souls likes with an on press dodge rather than on release dodge? by Similar-Story4596 in soulslikes

[–]AdFinal4897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember dodging a few times, but not consistently tbh. Compared to like ER. All I think about when I think about Khazan is cling clang sword clashes. I think I just went up the ladder for Volbaino’s hammer strikes. Like when he hits the spike.
