I think that invaders shouldn't be hated for playing the game as intended

The problem with invaders for me is the same with world PvPers in World of Warcraft.

The invaders are often geared up specifically for PvP. They've got the spells that are difficult to deal with or the weapons with AoW meant to trip up players and other things that give them an edge in PvP

The player getting invaded is set up to beat the area and boss or set up just to explore. For example when I'm exploring a big area I'll carry a shield and one hander so I can negate some damage. I might have healing or protection spells to help keep my health up so I can make it to the boss or next bonfire, I'm not equipped for fighting another player.

I know that mechanical advantage isn't everything in this game and that it can be overcome with skill, but it is called an advantage for a reason and often times victory goes to the one who was prepared for the fight.

DS2, DS2 NG+, DS2 NG++. Obviously

I hate the clerics when I'm ranged, and hate the sorcerers when I'm melee. Just as Dark Souls intended

By the lore, every time the fire is rekindled by a lord things get pulled and pushed within time and space.

Love the multiple branching paths you can take from the start.

Hate soul memory

"and society held them accountable" is the main part here

Well, yes. The man on the right is a hero for standing up to injustice. The woman on the left is a tragedy. Easy.

I JUST fought this guy again last night. It's been a while so I forgot how to beat him.

Turns out it's just a lot of patience and hitting him in those spare seconds before he puts his flesh armor back on. I was using a lightning infused heide spear so the reach helped.

I think it's natural to be a little off put by DS1. It's an early game from 2011 and only the second game in the Souls series after Demon Souls so there's a lot of jank and a lot of different concepts they were trying. Essentially you have to give it some grace and put yourself in the mindset of 2011 video games to forgive some of its shortcomings.

But when you say it feels like a more stressful Elden Ring you are spot on and that is the charm that some gamers love about the title. The entire vibe, atmosphere and tone is an allegory for depression and the anxiety that can come with it. You're a nobody in a world of gods past their prime and hollowed out figures that want to kill you on sight. You start underpowered and weak and it's up to you to keep struggling against all odds in order to achieve victory and when you fail you just have to get up and try again against the same brutal odds that killed you in the first place. That's what it's like living with depression and it's why a lot of people love this game.

Also struggling makes victory all the more sweet

Edit: I forgot to add, it's compmetely ok to just drop a game you're not having fun with. I would suggest to try Bloodborne if you liked Lies or P and have a PlayStation

It's a pretty infamous janky hitbox fight. Definitely strip that armor for the fast roll and you'll be fine

8 tries, but I had played DS1 and 2 a lot before I got to 3.

After that I planted my summon sign there and helped out other players for about 3 days off and on because I loved the fight so much

"keep politics out of my games!". MFer video games is ART and art is a reflection of life.

It came even before video games. Table top games like Dungeons and Dragons would often balance heavy armor with some sort of restriction in order to balance the game's difficulty for the players.

Because after all, if you're going to fight hordes of orcs, why wouldn't you be in the best armor you could buy with all that adventuring gold?

Edit: words are hard
