Souls games just aren't for me. I keep trying them (Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden RIng so far), and I keep absolutely hating them, more than most anything I have played. There's a myriad of specific reasons I could give, but they simply weren't made for me and that's fine. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never like a From Software game, assuming no significant design philosophy changes.
Interestingly, I have had no issues having that opinion on Lemmy. When I mentioned it back in the Reddit Days, I would usually be downvoted/lambasted with people telling me to just "git gud and I would enjoy it" or the ever-popular "you aren't a real gamer". Or THIS one would make me change my mind.
Haha! I feel you. I dont get when people put so much of their egos into a hobby where they feel the need to police their fellow hobbyists. Its an old and tiring tale, but one that never ends.
For myself, the souls games tickle my exploration and co-op bug, the former especially in DS1s map. However fromsoft does some dumb crap too, and things i simply don't enjoy. i understand the allure but personally have never enjoyed playing video games with strangers and despite many, many messages telling me the reason they think I'm wrong and dumb, that will never change
Sekiro and Elden Ring are my favourite games of all time. Not being able to pause is one of my few issues with them.
