This is genuinely why i don't like souls likes. I can be good. I can learn a lot. But ultimately, it's this cycle almost every single boss. Almost win first time, then get murdered two or three time while you learn the pattern. Then when you think you've got it they throw out a modified version of a move that your used to avoiding but has something extra on it. And then the other half of the time I get killed by something that's not technically random bullshit but feels like bullshit. And i just hate that gameplay loop. Nothing wrong with the game i just dont enjoy its core loop lol
