Seriously, I go in to a boss fight and spend minutes hacking and dodging with basic attacks and combos, then watch GDQ and they use a couple items and then cream the boss in two combos...

That game is not hard at all, just insanely punishing for little mistakes. Mistakes like... not using consumable buffs...

I despise games made to be frustrating for all except the intended play style. Dark Souls games are at the top of the list for games that aren't simply misbalanced, but designed by cruel idiots.
